Avoid the parking and traffic worries when travelling by car in Newport by booking one of our driven minibus hire services instead!
Operating in Newport since 2011, we regularly shuttle groups around the Isle of Wight’s busy county town, collecting from locations including hotels and other accommodations, and take them onwards to one of the ferries, or the cruise ship berths, to continue their journeys. Travelling with a sports or community group? We’d be more than happy to help out!
Visiting family or friends in Newport? Looking for convenient parking to drop some of the group whilst you continue on your way? Or planning a day trip to see the sights (why not visit Newport Minster or head out onto the River Medina?) and need a lift back to your accommodation at the end of the day? Give our Newport minibus hire service a call – we can help!
Planning on visiting any of the island’s popular attractions, like the Zoo or Carisbrooke Castle? Book ahead with us and travel in comfort and convenience. Travelling to or from one of Newport’s many popular wedding or event venues? Let us know if you need us to shuttle guests and other members of the party between church/registry office and reception, or their hotels/accommodations.
