Build the passenger and meeting-point plan
Plan minibus hire in Folkestone
A short set of decisions will shape which group fits the break.
Fix the dates, allow for doubt
Give the departure date first, then say honestly if the return could slip, because a flexible return changes how the hire period is quoted.
Set the handover address
Delivery and collection happen only at eligible addresses agreed for the booking, so state where the minibus should be handed over and, if different, where it should come back.
Count the longest stretch together
Work out the maximum number of people travelling at the same time, driver included, across the whole weekend rather than just the first leg.
Separate the itinerary
The delivery address is where the vehicle is handed over; passenger stops afterwards are yours to plan within the rental terms.

Minibus Hire questions
Can we plan several stops for our group during the weekend?
Yes. Once the minibus has been handed over, the route and passenger stops are yours to arrange within the rental terms. Keep the delivery address, where handover takes place, quite separate from the itinerary you drive afterwards.
What should we do if a fault develops mid-hire?
Contact the hire provider straight away rather than taking the vehicle to a garage yourself. Faults and maintenance are handled through the supplier, so report the problem and follow the instructions given.
What information should we give when enquiring?
Provide the maximum number travelling at any one time including the driver, the luggage carried separately from that count, the dates, and the eligible handover address. If the return date is uncertain, say so at the outset.
