Hiring a bus

An important aspect of The Villager is the hiring service provided at reasonable rates for social groups and people who might have difficulty affording a commercial coach. Typical hirings are for group and personal activities including school outings, sports club events, social outings and charity events.

Hirings are subject to the availability of buses and being able to find a willing driver. Our scheduled route commitments mean that we cannot offer hirings before 2pm on Wednesdays to Fridays and drivers are less likely to be available at weekends. Also, hirings must end by 11pm on weekdays and 6pm on weekends.

Our buses can carry 16 seated passengers. Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Unfortunately, we have no facilities for wheelchairs.

Hire charges, including fuel costs, are £20 standing charge, plus £1.50 per mile to and from our depot at Stow, with a minimum of £30 (VAT is not applicable).
