Coach Hire With a Driver around County Londonderry

Coach Hire in Derry: Your Local Travel Partner

If you’re looking for coach hire Derry that feels like it’s run by someone who knows the roads and rhythms of County Londonderry inside out, you’ve come to the right spot. Whether it’s a day out to the Guildhall, a run to Ebrington Square, or a trip out past the Foyle Bridge, our coach hire Derry services are all about making your group travel straightforward, affordable, and—most importantly—stress-free.

Choosing the Right Coach for Your Journey

Not all journeys are made equal, and neither are all coaches. It’s worth thinking about the size of your group, the distance you’re travelling, and how much luggage you’ve got when booking. For smaller local jaunts, a minibus hire with driver is spot on—handy for scooting around town or heading to nearby spots like Limavady or Strabane. Mid-sized coaches, seating between 24 and 33, are perfect for corporate days or school runs to places like St Columb’s College or to catch a match at the Brandywell Stadium. Planning a long haul to Belfast or a wedding with a larger group? Then a full-sized executive coach, some seating up to 70, will have you travelling in comfort, with reclining seats, air con, and plenty of luggage space.

Coach Sizes Explained

Minibuses (16–19 seats): Ideal for small groups and local trips.
Mid-size coaches (24–33 seats): Great for corporate events and school outings.
