Leading corporate organisations book their transport with us
If you’re considering coach hire Chatham, you’re in the right place. Nestled in the heart of Kent, Chatham offers a fantastic base for group travel, whether you’re heading to a corporate event in Gillingham, a school trip to Rochester, or a weekend getaway across the ME4 and ME5 postcodes. At Coach Rental, we make group transport straightforward, affordable, and tailored to your needs, with a fleet maintained to the highest standards and drivers who know the Kent roads like the back of their hand.
Not all group travel is the same, so picking the right coach or minibus is key. Our range caters to various group sizes and trip types, whether you need a compact minibus for local runs or a spacious coach for long-distance travel.
If you’re planning something local, like a sports fixture at the Medway Park or a visit to the Historic Dockyard, a 16–19 seat minibus is perfect. They’re nimble and ideal for smaller groups, offering easy boarding and luggage space without the bulk of a full coach.
Groups ranging from 24 to 33 passengers will find mid-size coaches a great fit. Think school runs to nearby towns like Snodland or corporate days in Rainham. These coaches combine comfort with practicality—reclining seats, air conditioning, and roomy luggage compartments.
For weddings, race days at Kempton Park or group holidays across the UK, our 49–70 seat executive coaches shine. With onboard entertainment and professional, uniformed drivers, you can relax knowing every detail is covered.
Every vehicle in our fleet is fully insured and maintained to rigorous standards.
