WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO HIRE A MINIBUS IN DUBLIN?

 WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO HIRE A MINIBUS IN DUBLIN?


If you’re planning a trip to Dublin, Ireland in the near future, then you’ll probably be needing to hire some form of transportation. And if it’s a group trip that you’re organising, then transport logistics becomes more of a challenge.


For small to medium sized groups of up to thirty people, luxury minibus hire is the perfect answer to any transport challenge. Family groups, sports teams, corporate groups and wedding parties, all are potential candidates for a minibus. 




GETTING STARTED


A cursory internet search reveals that there are a host of minibus rental operators to choose from in Dublin. They offer various mini-bus hiring options, available in 16 through to 26-seaters, with different levels of comfort and various luxuries.   



WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A MINI-BUS HIRE OPERATOR?


When you’re spoilt for choice, it’s tempting to go for the cheapest option available, but as they say “you get what you pay for”. There is nothing guaranteed to spoil a well-organised event more, than being stranded with your group of people in the middle of nowhere, and with no backup or support.


So what should you look for when it comes to making a decision about what minibus hire company to use? We suggest that you do a bit of homework. Researching the internet, seeking out reviews and even talking to past customers, will give you a relatively clear picture of who to trust. 


At the very least, there is a list of basic considerations that should serve to inform your decision of which minibus rental company to use. Having made a shortlist, discuss the following with the candidates:



  • Safety records – an credible operator should be able to furnish you with copies of the relevant safety certificates, together with a road safety record for the company over its period of operation. 

  • Vehicle maintenance – you’ll need to check the company’s policy regarding vehicle maintenance and servicing. Check on service intervals, regularity of vehicle inspections and in particular, behaviour relating to tyre maintenance. 

  • Driver training – vehicle safety means nothing unless the drivers are experienced and qualified. Drivers must meet strict criteria to operate in Ireland, and you need to check on the operator’s policies regarding driver training and safety issues.

  • Value for money – while cheap is not always best, it pays to ensure that one is getting good value for money. Decent operators will offer standard packages, with the option of additional services that can be negotiated over and above the standard package. 

  • Hidden costs – beware of potential ‘hidden costs’. Insist that every little potential additional cost is highlight upfront. Look out for extras such as fuel costs, driver overtime costs and cleaning costs, to name a few. 

  • Level of support – this is a key area of concern. You’ll want to discuss what will happen in the event of a breakdown or an accident. Will your group be left stranded for hours, or will there be a 24/7 support structure in place, with clear contact details?  


Remember that when it comes to the safety of your group, there can be no short cuts. You are well within your rights to demand answers to the above before signing on the dotted line. And any company who cannot or will not provide the requested information, should be struck off your short-list.  



WHICH MINI-BUS HIRE OPERATOR IS BEST?


Having done the research, there is no doubt that Bus Hire Dublin is Dublin, Ireland’s leading bus hire operator. You only have to read up on some of the company’s reviews to see that that Bus Hire prides itself in delivering top-notch customer service. 




Bus Hire Dublin has been in operation for over twenty years and has an enviable reputation for delivering impeccable service to thousands of customers over the years – driven by a commitment to service excellence. 


One outstanding feature of the company, is their adherence to the strictest level of driver training.
