Bad from start to finish
Unfortunately had lots of problems with Coachhire.com. I booked them for my wedding to transport guests between hotel, church, and reception venue. I chose them as they provided the cheapest quote by quite a long way. However seems you get what you pay for. I was phoned up 5 days before my wedding to be told the minibuses were no longer available due to an issue with a subcontractor. The next day they rang to say they'd managed to secure through another provider. However this caused considerable stress and meanwhile I was phoning up looking around for other options. On the day itself, only 3 of the 4 mini buses initially turned up which meant some guests had to get last-minute taxi and caused the wedding ceremony to start 20 minutes late. On the return journey, I'd requested 4 mini buses and only 2 turned up to do shuttle runs, but as it's an hours round trip, this was not acceptable as everyone needed to leave about the same time. After numerous calls and emails with customer services explaining the issues, they offered 10% refund, which was not even enough to cover the cost of the additional taxis we had to book.

Excellent
Great service from booking the coach to the drivers on the day. Booked for a wedding party to go to church and venue with one extra stop on the outbound. Lovely clean coach, arrived in plenty of time. Driver waited patiently at first stop and then at the church . Coach was ready waiting for is at the end of the evening... Great service. Nothing was too much trouble. Polite sales consultant booking coach and after sales team excellent . Would definitely use again . Thank you.

Complete let down
Coach hire were a complete let down, I was phoned the day before we were due to have the coach, to be told they could no longer supply it. At this point it was too late to reorganise another coach as anything suitable for 17 people was not available ( I tired about 8 different companies before giving up ) The only solution they could come up with was giving me a 16 person coach, which obviously did not suit. As the issue was there mistake, I would have thought they would arrange a 16 seat plus a taxi or something, but their only solution in the end was to refund me. I would not use this company ever again, and would not recommended it. don't waste your time with them and go straight to the source with your local company.

Coach for our corporate Christmas Party.
I would like to give a 5*****, but I did not find pleasant to receive emails (quite a few) to remind me about payments. 30% upfront then the outstanding before the venue. Please, review your terms about these emails. Apart of that, everything else was great. Thank you.

Disappointing
When we set off for our journey, we found that the toilets were locked. The driver told us that we have to pay extra to have use of the toilets. This wasn't mentioned at time of booking. We were 15 minutes away from our destination but the driver had to have a 45 minute break. Again, breaks were not mentioned at time of booking. The journey was only 3 hours...

Rocky start but excellent on the day
Booking was stressful as the young man who took the details got it all wrong, but the person who took it over sorted it out well. However I was supposed to get an email the day before the booking confirming everything and giving me the name of the driver but this didn't arrive so I had to ring to confirm it but couldn't get through as I was permanently on hold (admittedly it was December so obviously a busy time but there should be enough staff to cope). Eventually I got through at 6.30am of the morning of the event and everything was fine and confirmed. The confirmation email actually arrived the following day but other emails arrived fine all week so the delay wasn't down to my computer. Our driver, Dean, was brilliant. He arrived early but didn't ring the doorbell until the due time which was good as I was still getting ready. He was very professional, courteous and friendly and never got stressed despite a motorway accident and us giving conflicting instructions. He picked us up on time and got us back home safe. Overall I would definitely use coachhire.com again but I think they need to increase staff at busy times to help alleviate the stress for the customers.
