Vehicles: Buses and Private Hire Cars

Seat count alone does not tell you whether a group fits. These figures show seats alongside realistic luggage capacity, assuming one large case per passenger.

Guideline figures. Seat and luggage capacity differ by operator and vehicle age — tell us your passenger and case count and we will recommend the class that actually fits.

Special Luggage and Activity Gear

Tell us what travels with the group and we will match a vehicle with enough luggage space, or add a luggage van.

One large suitcase per person

Standard for arrivals straight from the airport. We size the luggage bay for the full case count, not just the seat count.

Folding bicycles

Brompton-class folding bikes and bagged bikes for cycling itineraries, loaded in the under-floor bay.

Ski and snowboard gear

Winter transfers to Hokkaido and Nagano resorts, with room for boards, skis, and boot bags.

Private hire

Private Hire Cars on the Same Booking

When a coach is more than the day actually needs, we arrange a chauffeured hire car instead — or alongside it, for a group that splits during the day.

  • Sedan — up to 3 passengers

    Executive and VIP transfers, airport pickups, and site inspections.
  • Minivan — up to 9 passengers

    Small parties and families, with room for one case per passenger.
  • Bus + hire car combined

    One itinerary, one invoice: the coach carries the group while a hire car covers side trips.
Use cases

Typical Use Cases

Three requests make up most of the charters we arrange. If yours looks different, send it anyway — the itinerary decides the vehicle.

  • CASE 01

    Multi-day Sightseeing Tours

    Group tours for overseas travel agencies, from the Golden Route to regional itineraries. One vehicle stays with the group day after day, with an English guide on board where needed.

    3–10 daysLarge bus
  • CASE 02

    Airport and Hotel Transfers

    Arrival and departure runs sized for a full suitcase count, including late-night landings. A hire car can meet a smaller party on the same booking when the group arrives on split flights.

    Single legBus + hire car
  • CASE 03

    MICE, Incentive, and Sports Groups

    Conferences, incentive trips, school programs, and sports teams moving on a fixed schedule. Several vehicles run in convoy from one plan, with gear such as skis or bikes loaded in the bays.

    Multiple vehiclesSpecial luggage
