Coach and minibus services in London
Coach hire
Full-size touring coaches for larger parties travelling to, from or around London. One vehicle keeps the group together, and the driver stays with you for the duration of the booking.
Minibus hire with driver
16 and 19 seater Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibuses for smaller groups in London, door to door. Every vehicle is hired with a professional, licensed driver. Sky Coaches does not offer self-drive hire.
London airport transfers
Group transfers to and from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City, with flight numbers captured on the enquiry so the driver adjusts to delays.
Corporate and conference travel
Staff shuttles, roadshows, client visits and conference transfers between City and Canary Wharf offices, ExCeL, Olympia and central London hotels.
Events, weddings and sport
Guest shuttles between ceremony, reception and hotels, plus stadium, concert and race-day travel where parking a private coach beats parking a dozen cars.

London coach hire — frequently asked questions
- Can a coach pick up in central London?
- Yes. We use designated coach bays and agreed kerbside points, and the driver will confirm the exact meeting spot beforehand — central streets and hotel forecourts often restrict where a full-size coach can wait.
- Are the Congestion Charge and ULEZ included?
- Any road charges that apply to your journey are worked into the written quote, so nothing is added afterwards.
- What is the smallest group you take in London?
- Private bookings start at 9 passengers. Below that a coach or minibus is rarely the right vehicle for the job.
- Do you provide a driver, or is it self-drive?
- Every booking includes a professional, licensed driver. We do not offer self-drive hire.
