We offer eight seats and room for six large cases, all in one vehicle with a driver. It is ideal for the airport run where two cars wouldn't fit the luggage, the group that would rather travel together, and the wedding morning where everyone needs to arrive at once. We have been running minibuses out of Harrow since 1972.
For a group of six to eight, the choice is usually a minibus or a pair of saloons. Worth knowing the difference before you book:
| Feature | Minibus 🚌 | Two saloons 🚖🚖 |
|---|---|---|
| Passengers | Up to 8 | Up to 8 |
| Large cases | 6 | 4 |
| Vehicles arriving | One | Two, not always together |
| The group | Travels together | Splits up |
| Cost | One fixed fare | Two fares |
The luggage is normally what decides it. Eight people flying on holiday will have more than four big cases between them, and that's the point where two cars stop working.
Seatbelts for all eight, and child seats fitted free if you need them — just say so when you book.
Plus the hand luggage, in the same vehicle as the people.
Golf clubs, ski bags, instruments, a pushchair and a fortnight's worth of holiday. If you're not sure it'll fit, describe it when you call and we'll tell you honestly.
The most common by far — a family or a group heading to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton or London City with a case each. Fixed fare, flight tracking on the way back.

A team to a meeting or a conference, on a corporate account if you have one.

Quoted per journey
Minibus fares depend on where you're going, so we quote each journey rather than publishing one figure. Call us or use the booking form and you'll have a fixed price in a minute — agreed before you travel, and it doesn't change afterwards. There's no night rate.
Airport minibus fares are quoted the same way; the published saloon fares on our airport pages don't apply to larger vehicles.
Call us with your destination, passenger count, and luggage requirements to get your exact minibus fare instantly.
Call 020 8866 6666Call 020 8866 6666, book online, or use the app on iPhone or Android. Tell us how many of you there are, roughly how much luggage, and where you're going. You'll have a fixed price straight away and a confirmation by text or email with your driver's details.
Book ahead where you can. We have fewer minibuses than saloons, so a day or two's notice means you get one — particularly for a weekend, a wedding, or an early airport run. Same-day is often possible; ring us and we'll tell you straight away rather than leave you waiting. Pay by card, by cash, in the app, or on a monthly account.

Six large cases plus hand luggage, yes. If you're carrying more than that — or skis, golf clubs, or a pushchair as well — tell us when you book and we'll advise honestly.
Yes, free, fitted by your driver. Tell us the children's ages when you book.
A day or two if you can. There are fewer minibuses than cars, so notice helps — especially for weekends and early airport runs.

Yes. Tell us the destination and we'll quote a fixed fare.
We've been the minicab company in Harrow since 1972, working from 470 Alexandra Avenue in Rayners Lane. The minibuses do the journeys the cars can't — the family of seven flying to Málaga, the wedding party, the office trip.
