Group Hire

We offer transport for groups within the community, providing fully-accessible mini-buses. Scouts and Youth groups, lunch clubs and many more groups use this service. Our charges are very reasonable, and we offer day and weekend hire. Please call us for a price as we offer discounts for social Groups and Schools. 

If  Group Hire Charges

Group Hire charges without a volunteer driver are as follows:

Kingswood Community Transport charge 75p per mile for local journeys. For day Hires the Bus will go away full please return with a full tank.  It is the hirer’s responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is returned to Kingswood Community Transport with a full tank. If the hirer does not return the vehicle in this manner, then they will be charged a minimum of £40 if the vehicle is returned over half full and £80 if it is less than half full. This cost is to cover the expense of the fuel and our administration costs. If the vehicle is brought back dirty there will be a cleaning fee of £40.00. 

If the Vehicle is involved in an accident and repairs are need  the hirer pays the first £500. 

These costs only reflect the operating cost of our vehicles. It is helpful if groups can provide their own driver that has successfully completed MiDAS Training. Always give us a call to discuss any ideas you have and we will try to meet your needs.
