Key dates

When to book your Christmas minibus

Minibuses and executive cars are limited, and December weekends go first. The earlier you ask, the more likely we can give you the date, time and vehicle you want.

Late November to December

Christmas parties

Friday and Saturday nights fill first. Book the minibus when you book the venue.

24 to 26 December

Christmas Eve to Boxing Day

Family visits, church and Christmas lunch out. We are open all day, every day.

Christmas week

Airport runs for groups

Families and groups flying out or home. We track your flight and plan the pickup around it.

31 December

New Year’s Eve

The busiest night of the year. Book there and back, and book the journey home first.

Christmas travel

How we can help over Christmas

Office Christmas parties

One minibus from the office to the venue and home again, instead of a queue for taxis at midnight. Minibuses are paid in advance by invoice.

Christmas Day and Boxing Day

In recent years Southeastern has run no trains on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, so a pre-booked minibus is an easy way to bring the family together.

New Year’s Eve

Get the whole group to the party and home again safely. Book both journeys early for the best chance of your chosen times.

Christmas shopping and the panto

Royal Victoria Place, The Pantiles and the Assembly Hall Theatre pantomime, without the hunt for a parking space.

Client and executive events

Mercedes executive cars for client dinners, corporate events and airport collections over the festive period.

Weddings and celebrations

Winter weddings, anniversaries and family celebrations, with guest transport in one or more minibuses.

Questions

Christmas minibus hire questions

How much does Christmas minibus hire cost?
Every Christmas and New Year journey is quoted individually, because the price depends on the vehicle, the date, the times and the distance. Fill in our quote form, WhatsApp us, call 01892 888888 or email info@tunbridgewells888.co.uk, and we will send your quote, including any holiday charges.
Are you open on Christmas Day?
Yes. We run 24 hours a day on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Please ask for your quote early, because these are our busiest days.
Can the whole office party travel in one vehicle?
Yes. Our 16-seat Mercedes Sprinter carries up to 16 passengers and our 14-seat minibus carries up to 13. For larger groups we can quote for more than one vehicle.
How early should I book for Christmas and New Year’s Eve?
As early as possible. Minibuses need at least 24 hours’ notice, but December weekends and New Year’s Eve usually book up weeks ahead.
Are there trains on Christmas Day?
In recent years Southeastern has not run trains on Christmas Day or Boxing Day. Check National Rail before you travel. We run pre-booked minibuses and cars on both days.
