Planning the year's school trips? Two things bring the quote down, and neither costs you anything.

Out after 9am and back by 2.30pm puts you between our own school runs — the coach would be sat still otherwise, so it's cheaper. Most school trips already run to roughly those hours anyway.

And the quiet months genuinely cost less. A trip in November or February is cheaper than the same trip in June.

Same coach, same driver, cheaper slot.

Four in the morning airport run, or a Tuesday to Skegness. Same fleet, same drivers.

Eight of you? The 16-seat minibus. Fifty? The 51-seat coach.

We pick you up where you actually are, not the nearest big road — and it's the same driver there and back. Somebody local, who knows the roads.

Airport transfers, weddings, matchdays, school trips and days out, across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire since 2013.

"Everyone had a brilliant day!"

That's from a Year 6 trip organiser who booked us this July. She sent this over afterwards, and she's kindly let us share it.

"On the day the coach arrived 5 mins early at the agreed spot. The coach was clean and comfortable. The driver was excellent — handled the traffic on the way out of Nottingham, was patient while we got everyone loaded, checked in with us about the return time."

It's that last bit we're proudest of. Checking the return time before anyone has to ask takes about ten seconds, and it takes the worry out of the whole day — so it's how we run every school trip, not something you have to hope for.

"Why is their quote half of yours?" Fair question, and it's usually nothing to do with the mileage.
Coach hire is priced by the driver's day. Drop you off and come back later, and that's a couple of hours. Wait on site until you're done, and that's a driver and a coach tied up all day.
Two things that genuinely cost less: travelling between the school runs (out after 9am, back by 2.30pm), and the quiet months — January to March, September and November.

Ten to six in the morning, and the coach is already warm.

This is what happens before a school coach reaches the gates — the early start, the checks, and streets that were never built for a 51-seater.

Nottingham Coaches has run school transport and private hire across Nottinghamshire since 2013.

"What size coach do we need?" — easily the question we get asked most.

Minibus takes up to 16. Full coach takes up to 49.

But what if you're 20? That's where it gets interesting, and the answer
genuinely depends on the job. Two minibuses can be cheaper and cover
different pickup points. One coach keeps everyone together and gives you
the luggage space.
