Midi and Full-Size Coaches
20 Seater Minibuses
Sydney Bus Hire Fleet
Our fleet is built around small and mid-size groups. Instead of sending a 57-seat coach for fifteen people, we match the vehicle to your headcount, your luggage and the streets you are travelling on. Every vehicle comes with a professional driver who holds a Working With Children Check.
Vehicles at a glance
- 12 seater minibuses: for groups of about 6 to 12. Compact enough for narrow streets, steep driveways and small venue car parks. Popular for wedding parties, family airport runs and small team outings.
- 20 seater minibuses: for groups of 13 to 20. Our most booked size, used for sport, office teams, guest shuttles and day trips.
- 24 seater mini coaches: for groups of 21 to 24, or smaller groups on longer trips. High back coach seats, large windows and a microphone.
- Midi and full-size coaches: 28 and 33 seat midi coaches, and 48 and 57 seat coaches, with reclining seats and luggage bays underneath.
Luggage and extra space
Luggage trailers are available for minibus services when you need more room, such as airport runs, sports tournaments or touring with suitcases. Coaches carry luggage in the bays underneath. Tell us how many large bags you have when you ask for a quote and we will plan for it.
Safety and upkeep
We are an accredited bus and charter operator. Vehicles are cleaned and serviced on a regular schedule, and our buses are inspected under the NSW Heavy Vehicle Inspection Scheme. Seatbelt-equipped vehicles can be confirmed when you book. All passengers must be seated, and bottled water is the only drink allowed on board.
Not sure which size?
As a rough guide, allow a little room above your headcount so nobody is squeezed and there is space for bags. If your numbers sit right on the edge of a size, such as 12 or 20, ask us and we will suggest the better option. For groups of 6 to 12 who want a quiet, roomy ride, see small group transport.

How to choose the right vehicle
Start with your headcount, then think about three things: luggage, the length of the trip and the places you are going.
Luggage
A group with daypacks fits comfortably in a minibus. Airport runs, tournaments and touring with suitcases usually need a luggage trailer on a minibus, or the luggage bays of a coach.
Length of the trip
For short city runs, a 12 or 20 seat minibus is ideal. For a full day out of Sydney, the high back seats of a 24 seat mini coach or a coach make the drive more comfortable.
Access at each stop
Narrow streets, steep driveways and small car parks suit the 12 seater. Many restaurants, clubs and venues are fine for a 20 or 24 seater. Coaches need a proper set-down area, such as a coach bay or a wide kerb.
Quick guide by group size
- Up to 12 passengers: 12 seat minibus
- 13 to 20 passengers: 20 seat minibus
- 21 to 24 passengers: 24 seat mini coach
- 25 to 33 passengers: 28 or 33 seat midi coach
- 34 to 57 passengers: 48 or 57 seat coach
- More than 57: two or more vehicles
Popular uses for each vehicle
The 12 seater is the favourite for wedding parties and family airport transfers. The 20 seater covers sport, office teams and guest shuttles. The 24 seat mini coach is the choice for day tours and corporate days, and our coaches handle school excursions, large weddings and conference transfers.
Booking more than one vehicle
For large groups or events, we can combine vehicles, for example a coach for the main group and a minibus for late arrivals or an early return. Each vehicle has its own driver and run sheet, and we plan the timings so the vehicles arrive in a sensible order.
What every booking includes
A professional driver who holds a Working With Children Check, fuel, and private use of the vehicle for your group. If you are not sure which size to choose, send us your headcount, luggage and plan, and we will recommend the vehicle and explain why.
Children and accessibility
If your group includes young children, tell us their ages when you book so we can confirm seatbelts and seating. If a passenger uses a walking frame or a folding wheelchair, let us know too. We will explain what each vehicle can and cannot do, and the driver will allow extra time for boarding. For school and junior sport groups, our drivers hold Working With Children Checks.
