People carriers and minibuses by passenger count
For a Rochester hire address confirmed for your booking, compare people-carrier and minibus classes against the number travelling together on the return journey, not the number who attended the event itself.
Every image and model name represents a vehicle group. The booking team confirms the available vehicle or a suitable similar option for the requested dates.
Small 5+2 people carrier for compact group travel and family trips.
Seven-seat manual vehicle for smaller groups and luggage-light journeys.
Seven-seat automatic vehicle for group travel with easier driving.
Nine seats for airport runs, sports teams and small group days out.
Nine-seat automatic minibus for group travel without manual transmission.
Twelve seats for events, schools, clubs and medium-sized group trips.
Fifteen seats for larger groups, with licence and age rules checked first.
Large 17-seater for clubs, weddings and school groups where driver rules are met.
Seventeen-seat Lite model with licence, driver age and availability checks before booking.
Build the passenger and meeting-point plan
Because an overnight stay often changes group size by the following morning, a few points are worth settling before choosing a seat class.
Some guests may leave straight after the event while others stay over, so total who is actually travelling home the next day, driver included.
Cases, event outfits and gifts collected the night before add bulk beyond the seat count, so mention these when you enquire.
Delivery and collection each happen at a suitable address confirmed for your hire, which may differ from wherever the overnight stay took place.
For Rochester, provide the licence details for every proposed driver before comparing the displayed seat groups.
