Minibus and bus hire services for Sydney groups

Every Sydney Bus Hire service starts the same way: you tell us how many people are travelling, where they are coming from and where they need to be, and we match a vehicle and a professional driver to the job. Our fleet runs from 12-seat minibuses to 28-seat midi coaches, which covers the groups most people are actually organising. If your numbers grow past that, we can arrange full-size coaches too. Below is a guide to what we do and which page to read next.

Minibus charters by the hour

A charter gives your group a vehicle and driver for a block of time. It suits dinners with more than one stop, a day visiting family across Sydney, club presentations, sightseeing with friends from overseas or any outing where the plan might change during the day. The driver stays with the group, so there is no waiting for rideshares at the end of the night. Read more on bus hire and coach charters.

Airport and cruise terminal transfers

Families, sporting teams and work groups use our minibuses to get to and from Sydney Airport together. A 12-seater takes a family and their suitcases with room to spare, and a luggage trailer can be added for bigger groups or sports gear. We also run groups to and from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay and the White Bay Cruise Terminal. See airport transfers.

Wedding guest transport

A minibus keeps the bridal party together and gets guests from the ceremony to the reception without anyone needing a designated driver. Our 12-seat minibus is popular for venues with tight access roads, and 20 and 24 seat vehicles suit guest shuttles between a hotel, the church and the reception. See wedding transfers.

Event transport and shuttles

For concerts, sporting fixtures, conferences and festivals, we run return trips or repeat shuttle loops so your group avoids event parking and arrives on time. For a venue that needs guests moved between car parks, hotels and the front door, a shuttle service runs on a timetable you set. See also event transport and event transport planning.

Day tours and sightseeing

Small groups book us for winery days in the Hunter Valley, lookouts and villages in the Blue Mountains, day trips to Canberra and harbour sightseeing around Sydney. You choose the stops and the pace. See day tours and our Hunter Valley minibus tours.

Seniors and community groups

Probus clubs, retirement villages, church groups and community organisations use our minibuses for lunches, gardens, galleries and shows. Drivers allow time for boarding and can plan stops around accessible entrances. See seniors group minibus hire.

Staff shuttles

Businesses use regular minibus shuttles to move staff between a station and a work site, between two offices, or to and from an off-site training day. See staff shuttle service.

One way and return transfers

Need a group moved from A to B, or there and back later? Our transfers and shuttles page covers hotel transfers, dinner transfers and city to regional runs.
