One live timetable

Out on Friday, back on Sunday

A weekend hire is one span on the timeline from pickup to return, so the bus reads as gone all weekend rather than free on Saturday morning.

Self-drive is a span and a bond.

Friday afternoon to Sunday evening at the weekend rate, keys handed over, card held. You see the customer twice and the second time is the one that costs.

A month calendar with booking dots marking the busy days, the way venue and hire availability is read across weeks.

With a driver is an hour and a roster.

The same bus, sold as a service at its own price, landing on somebody who is genuinely working that day rather than on whoever answered the phone.

Out on Friday, back on Sunday.

A minibus hire is a span, not an appointment. Hold it from pickup to return and the Saturday in the middle stops looking like free time.

  • The span is the booking

    Pickup to return is one entry on the timeline, so a bus out for a weekend is unavailable for the weekend rather than for the two hours you typed.

  • Late back, priced right

    Move the return and the price follows the new span, so a hire that comes back Monday morning is charged as one rather than argued about at the gate.

  • Whoever is genuinely on

    A with-driver job lands on a driver with their own hours and their own work, so it cannot be given to somebody who is not working that day.

Three crew members on one timeline, each with their jobs laid out across the working day so gaps are easy to spot.

Built for your fleet

Built for every kind of minibus hire

The Thursday training run

Set the weekly club run up once on Free and it repeats until the season ends, so nobody is taking the same booking thirty weeks in a row.

The Saturday away game

One bus, one driver, one job with the pickup and the ground on it, so whoever is driving is not ringing the club secretary for the address.

The school excursion

Book the bus with a driver for the whole day rather than by the trip, so the wait between drop-off and pickup is paid for rather than absorbed.

A self-drive weekend

Friday afternoon to Sunday evening is one span at the weekend rate, and the bus stays off the page for the whole of it rather than just Saturday.

The bond at handover

Store the card when they book, place the hold as the keys are handed over, and release it or keep part of it when the bus comes back.

A hire that runs late

Move the return and the price follows the new span, so a bus back on Monday morning is charged as a bus back on Monday morning.

Two buses, one group

Twenty-four people across two twelve-seaters book as two jobs on one record, so both are held for the same days without being confused for one.

The community group with no driver

They want the bus and somebody to drive it. Sell that as its own product at its own price rather than as a self-drive hire with a favour attached.

Airport runs for a touring team

The arrival and the departure are two jobs on one customer, booked together and priced separately rather than remembered as a single trip.

The licence check nobody wrote down

Keep the customer, their hires and what was agreed on one record, so a self-drive handover starts from history rather than from scratch.

Pro

The hire, the bond and the club.

Self-drive and club work are paid for in completely different ways, and both should end up on the same booking rather than in your head.

  • Card as the bus is booked

    The full hire can be taken by card at the moment of booking on Pro, which is the right answer for a family taking the bus for one weekend.

  • The bond sits at handover

    Store the card at booking and place the hold as the keys change hands, because an authorisation lapses in about a week and hires are booked earlier.

  • Clubs settle their own way

    A treasurer paying by transfer at the end of a season is recorded by hand on the Free plan, so the season reconciles without a spreadsheet.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One bus, one group, one weekend.

Twelve seats is the whole product. When the bus is out it should be off the page, not sitting there looking available on Saturday morning.

  • Sold once, not twice

    A confirmed hire removes that bus from the public page for the whole span, so the same twelve-seater cannot leave with two groups in a weekend.

  • Each bus is its own inventory

    The twelve-seater and the twenty-two-seater are booked separately, so a group of eighteen cannot end up holding a bus that will not take them.

  • Two buses stay two buses

    A group split across two vehicles books as two jobs on one record, so both are held for the same days without being mistaken for one booking.

Three crew members on one timeline, each with their jobs laid out across the working day so gaps are easy to spot.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your minibus hire business.

Online booking

Your own page selling self-drive by the day and with-driver by the hour as two products, so the customer picks the one they actually want.

Scheduling

Pickups, returns and the buses already out on one timeline, so a Friday to Sunday hire reads as gone all weekend rather than free on Saturday.

Standing bookings

The Thursday training run is set up once on Free and repeats weekly, ending never, on a date, or after the number of weeks a season actually runs.

One minibus, one booking

A booked bus leaves the page for the whole span from pickup to return, so the same twelve-seater cannot be promised to two groups in one weekend.

Bonds

Store the card when they book, place the hold as the keys change hands, and release it or keep part of it when the bus comes back in one operation.

Email reminders

A confirmation carrying the pickup time and what to bring, then a nudge before the day, so the licence is not left on a kitchen bench at home.

Customers

Every club, school and family who has hired from you, with the buses they took and what they paid, so a returning group is one record not twenty.

Team

Your drivers get their own logins and their own hours, so a with-driver job only lands on somebody genuinely available that day.

Payments

Take the hire by card as the bus is booked, or record the transfer a club sends after the season. Card payments come with Pro.

Common questions.

Yes. They are two products at two prices against the same vehicle, and a booking of either one takes the bus off the page for that span.

Yes. A standing booking repeats weekly or monthly on the Free plan, and ends never, on a date you choose, or after a set number of runs.

As one span. Friday afternoon to Sunday evening is a single booking, so the bus is unavailable across the whole weekend rather than only on the Saturday.

Yes. The card is stored when they book, the hold is placed at handover because an authorisation lapses in about a week, and it is settled at return.

Move the return on the booking and the price follows the new span, so a Monday morning return is charged as a Monday morning return.

Yes. Send a payment request when the work is done and record the bank transfer against it, which suits a club treasurer paying in one go.
