The process of booking a corporate coach or minibus can be simple when there is enough information available, however it can also be painfully frustrating if there isn’t enough information available. The more information you present to the provider at the beginning of the booking will allow them to accurately recommend a suitable vehicle and give you an accurate quote, as well as plan your corporate coach hire logistics effectively.
At National Coach Hire UK, we will try our best to make a coach booking as seamless as possible; however, every business should have certain information available before they contact us regarding a coach hire quote.
1. Finalized Passenger Count
Accurate finalized passenger counts are critical, as this information determines type/size of vehicle(s) needed to accommodate them. Do not provide estimates. Last minute additions to counts must be accounted for. If any passengers have mobility/accessible issues that impact vehicle specifications, provide this information to ensure vehicle is properly equipped at the time of pick up/drop off.
2. Clear Pick up and Drop off Addresses
It is necessary to know the full address where pick-up or drop-off will happen. In case of multiple stops, the order of those stops and special features of each of the locations like narrow roads or height limits should be mentioned. Otherwise, confusion may arise.
3. Date, Time and Duration
Provide exact date/time of departure. Provide anticipated duration of travel. Confirm any scheduled stops, if return transport required, provide estimated time of return and indicate if it is flexible. For multi-day bookings, you must also provide itinerary for each day as well as locations for overnight stops.
4. The need for particular luggage/equipment
Luggage volumes and types play a critical role in determining the choice of the automobile. Whether you have large baggage as a business traveller or you have kits bags as part of your sports team, you need to be explicit from the beginning.
5. Needs for a certain vehicle type
Is there a need for executive cars? On-board Wi-Fi or even an on-board toilet? Specify your needs in advance of making an inquiry so that the supplier can quote the prices appropriately.
6. Any special passengers’ needs
If you need wheelchair access, mobility devices, medical apparatus, or any other special needs of the passengers to be met, this information should be shared during the booking process to guarantee that you get the right coach.
