Minibus hire with driver — one vehicle, one fixed fare
For any group of six or more, RushXO's 8, 12 and 16 seater minibuses turn a fragmented, expensive journey into a single comfortable transfer. Instead of splitting a party across two or three cars — paying multiple fares, arriving at different times, and separating people from their luggage — one minibus carries everyone together at a price agreed before you set off. The 8-seater runs from £3.80 per mile (minimum £45); the 9-seater from £4.00 (minimum £45). Split between passengers, a minibus frequently costs less per head than booking two separate saloons — and it always keeps the group in one place.
The per-person maths — why a minibus wins
Consider a group of eight travelling from Dartford to Heathrow. Two saloons would cost roughly £242 in total. A single 8-seater covers the same journey for around £178 — and keeps the whole group together, with all the luggage in one vehicle. That is a saving before you even count the convenience of one pickup, one driver and one arrival time. The larger the group and the longer the journey, the more decisively the minibus wins: on a 16-strong airport run, the gap between one minibus and four cars is dramatic.

What minibus hire suits
- Airport groups — families, friends or colleagues travelling together, with everyone and all the luggage in one vehicle. See our 16 seater minibus Heathrow and 16 seater minibus Southampton pages.
- Cruise ports — group transfers to Southampton and other UK cruise terminals with ship tracking. See our cruise transfers.
- Weddings — guest transport between ceremony, reception and hotels. See our wedding service.
- Hen and stag parties — a reliable, fixed-price group transfer that arrives together.
- Corporate events — conference transfers, team travel and client groups, with account billing available.
- School and sports groups — safe, licensed, insured group transport for squads and teams.
Luggage capacity
The 8-seater comfortably takes seven large cases alongside seven passengers; the 9-seater, eight. For a full group at maximum luggage, mention it at booking and we will confirm the right vehicle — occasionally a group at both passenger and luggage capacity is better served by a larger minibus or a second vehicle. We'd rather get it right before you travel than leave a case behind on the day.

Minibus hire — frequently asked questions
What sizes of minibus can I hire from RushXO?
We offer 8, 12 and 16 seater minibuses, all with a professional driver. The 8-seater and 9-seater are fixed-fare online for groups up to 8 passengers. For 10 to 16 passengers we arrange a larger 12 or 16 seater and confirm a fixed quote by WhatsApp or phone, usually within minutes.
Is minibus hire cheaper than booking two cars?
Usually, yes. A group of eight from Dartford to Heathrow costs roughly £242 in two saloons but around £178 in a single 8-seater — and everyone travels together with all the luggage in one vehicle. The larger the group and the longer the journey, the more the minibus saves per head.
Does the minibus come with a driver?
Yes. Every RushXO minibus includes a professional, licensed driver. This is chauffeured private hire, not self-drive rental — you never need a D1 licence or your own insurance.
How much luggage fits in a minibus?
An 8-seater comfortably carries seven large cases alongside seven passengers; a 9-seater takes eight. For a full group at both passenger and luggage capacity, mention it at booking and we'll confirm the right vehicle — occasionally a larger minibus or a second vehicle.
What can I use minibus hire for?
Airport and cruise groups, weddings, hen and stag parties, corporate and conference travel, and school or sports groups. Anywhere a group of six or more needs to travel together at a fixed price, a minibus is the simplest option.
Do you charge extra for night or peak-time minibus journeys?
No. RushXO fares are fixed with no surge, no night premium and no hidden charges. The price confirmed at booking is the price you pay, whatever the time of day.
