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.

The hire period is the booking.

A Friday collection with a Sunday depot return needs one continuous fleet span from preparation to return.

  • The hire period stays whole

    A Friday collection with a Sunday depot return occupies one entry through the finish, keeping the fleet view honest when the work runs long.

  • One postcode anchors the job

    Keep the starting postcode, contact and notes on the booking for the driver to check before departure.

  • Capacity is chosen before confirmation

    The sixteen-seat minibus and smaller people carrier stay distinct, so a group cannot inherit the wrong vehicle.

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 football away weekend

Block Friday collection through Sunday return so the same minibus cannot quietly acquire a Saturday hire.

A Heathrow group departure

Keep the lead passenger, collection postcode and luggage plan beside the vehicle chosen for the airport run.

The village-hall wedding party

A rural celebration needs its own collection and return span rather than a loose note against Saturday.

Festival camping gear aboard

Offer the larger minibus separately when a group needs passenger capacity and room for a weekend’s kit.

The supporters’ club every fortnight

Repeat one Saturday at a two-week interval and finish the series when the fixture list ends.

Two minibuses for one society

Give each vehicle a separate booking under the same organiser so neither capacity nor return time is blurred.

A Monday-morning business group

Reserve the people carrier for the agreed weekday hours without forcing it into the weekend product.

The delayed Sunday return

Move the hand-back time when traffic changes and preserve the original customer and payment history.

A security amount received by bank

Record the offline amount with the hire and be explicit that no online card hold is being offered.

A cancelled bank-holiday booking

Release only the abandoned collection-to-return span so the minibus can be offered again accurately.

Pro

Keep the price beside the hire period.

Clubs and group organisers need the accepted scope and offline receipts to reduce one visible balance.

  • Agreed hire terms before confirmation

    Set out the hire period, added day and chosen vehicle separately before the organiser accepts. Acceptance stays attached when the work enters the diary.

  • Offline receipts reduce the balance

    Record a BACS receipt, cheque or cash payment and let the booking show the office exactly what, if anything, remains outstanding.

  • Enable reminders deliberately

    Enable the email reminder for the day before a football away day; it is an operator choice, not a message that ships switched on by default.

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

Confirmed time closes the minibus.

the selected minibus cannot appear free while its confirmed hire period is still running.

  • Overlapping time disappears

    another minibus hire request cannot cross the confirmed span for the selected minibus, even when it was booked months ahead.

  • Each vehicle keeps its capacity

    The sixteen-seat minibus and smaller people carrier stay distinct, so larger groups cannot inherit the wrong vehicle.

  • Cancellation returns the same span

    When the football club cancels, that interval reopens without changing the jobs sitting around it.

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

Clients enter one starting address, choose the minibus hire option and request live time for the selected minibus without calling the office.

Scheduling

A Friday collection with a Sunday depot return holds the selected minibus through return, hiding overlapping time from the public page.

Standing bookings

The regular Saturday run repeats on its chosen weekday every week or fortnight, ending on a set date or after the agreed number of runs.

One minibus, one booking

Confirmation reserves the selected minibus for the exact span, so another minibus hire request cannot overlap it on the public calendar.

Bonds

Online card bond holds are unavailable in this market. External security terms stay in private notes; Bookables manages no refundable bond.

Email reminders

Switch on the email confirmation or reminder for the day before a football away day, including the booked time after the operator settles the plan.

Customers

Football clubs, families and group travel organisers retain earlier bookings, notes and manual payments, so returning work is easier to recognise.

Team

Depot staff accounts and working hours show who can cover a late Sunday return to the depot, avoiding an assignment beyond somebody’s shift.

Payments

Record a BACS receipt, cheque or cash payment; the balance stays visible. This market uses offline settlement rather than card checkout.

The public form captures one starting job address. Add the destination and later stops to the booking notes yourself.

Record a BACS receipt manually against the matching booking. The remaining amount stays visible on the booking for the office to follow up.

Yes. Set out the hire period, added day and chosen vehicle separately before the organiser accepts. Online acceptance can be converted into a confirmed booking with the agreed lines retained.

Cancel the existing booking and only its reserved span returns to public availability; nearby commitments stay untouched.

Yes. Give each minibus its own booking under the organiser’s record, retaining separate drivers and time spans for the work.
