Here are some tips for hiring minibuses and coaches to pick up from London Biggin Hill Airport:

•  Book early, especially if you need a large vehicle. The larger the vehicle, the more limited availability tends to be. Give yourself a few weeks or even months’ notice if possible.

•  Compare prices from different companies. Rates can vary quite a bit, so shop around. Make sure you get quotes that include all fees.

•  Know your group size so you can book the right vehicle size. Count luggage as well when determining needs. Overloading vehicles is not allowed.

•  Clarify if the company provides meet and greet services at Biggin Hill or if you need to make your way to a shuttle area. This airport is smaller, so verify logistics.

•  Request a newer, well-maintained vehicle for comfort and reliability, especially for longer trips. Inspect vehicles upon pickup.

•  Ask what amenities are included – does the coach/minibus have USB charging ports, DVD players, etc. if those things are important?

•  Clarify total trip duration, as some companies limit maximum hours/mileage per day. Build in buffer time.

•  See if stopping fees apply for any planned stops during your transfer. Some allow limited stops, while others charge fees.

•  Understand cancellation and no-show policies. You often lose deposits if you cancel at the last minute. Reconfirm a day or two before.
