Here are some tips for hiring minibuses and coaches from Heathrow Airport:

•  Book in advance, especially if you need vehicles during peak times. This ensures availability and may get you better rates.

•  Be clear about the details – number of passengers, luggage capacity needed, duration you need the vehicle for etc. This will help the company match you with the right vehicle.

•  Compare rates and vehicles from different companies. Factors like vehicle size, features, and driver arrangements may vary.

•  Ask if the quote includes taxes, insurance, fuel surcharges or if there are any hidden costs. Get a full breakdown.

•  Check if the company provides professional drivers or if you can do self-drive. Consider your group’s needs.

•  See if they can accommodate flexibility in case your flight gets delayed or plans change last minute. Reputable companies understand delays.

•  Find out their policy on cancellations or changes to your booking. See if deposits or advance payments are required.

•  For larger coaches, ask if they will meet your group airside (after security) or landside to make handling luggage easier.

•  Choose meeting points that are easy to find at the terminals. Avoid extremely crowded or busy spots.

•  Inform your driver of estimated landing times and arrange a meeting phone number in case of problems.
