Coach hire Belfast for big days out

For schools, sports clubs, weddings and corporate events, coach hire in Belfast scales up to 53 seats.

If your group is spread out, multiple pickup points can usually be arranged along the route.

Private hire or public transport?

For solo travel, Translink services work well. For groups, private bus hire in Belfast usually wins: one pickup point you choose, no timetable, space for everyone together, and a fixed price agreed up front.
