Wondering how to organise getting a group to where they’re going from Sway? Our driven minibus hire service can take the strain – book with us ahead of time for a stress-free trip into or out of Sway.
Our driven minibus hire Sway service has been running since 2011 and we’ve got 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 seaters available (from £35 for the smaller ones, and from £75 for the bigger), enabling you to get a no-obligation quote from us and know exactly how much you’ll pay before you book.
Avoid the hassle of wrangling several cars to navigate Sway’s limited parking and busy centre (not to mention dodging free-roaming New Forest ponies!) and let us shuttle you and your group to and from Brockenhurst or New Milton to connect with a mainline train service, or right to the door of Southampton Airport or one of Southampton’s cruise terminals – we can even collect everyone en route whether you’re staying in holiday accommodation dotted around the village and surrounding area or camping!
With drop-off and collection available, we can help your group make the most of Sway’s attractions including the striking Sway Tower (Peterson’s Folly), pretty St Michael's Church and even a trip to the much-loved Sway Tea Rooms – just let us know how long you’ll be!

Our driven minibus hire service is also a favourite with those planning a wedding in Sway – parking for guests close to local venues and the pretty parish church can be tricky so we can shuttle guests to and from ceremony and reception venue and accommodation in style.
Local school and community groups also book with us, meaning whether you’re based at one of Sway’s primary schools or the nearby secondary academies, we can help you get to away fixtures or on day trips, so get in touch well ahead of time as our diary fills up quickly during term time.
Our locally-based, DBS checked, Certificate of Professional Competence holding drivers can take you anywhere in the area, meaning you can make a day of it and head into Christchurch to explore the coast or to Winchester to visit the historic cathedral, while we regularly shuttle groups to nearby attractions including the popular New Forest Wildlife Park too.
We have special offers for University of Southampton students and discounts for NHS staff – enquire today. Call our Ocean Village based office on 02381 120 005 or email bookings@minibushiresouthampton.com to find out more – just tell us your pick up and drop off locations, dates/times, how many people you’ll be and the amount of luggage you’ll have and we’ll let you know! Cash, card and bank transfer payments can all be made. Remember to book ahead for trips over summer and bank holiday weekends too!
