Wedding Bus Hire Tips

Wedding bus hire is the most convenient way to transport guests on your wedding day. It prevents traffic congestion at the wedding venue and the unnecessary costs of fuelling many vehicles on the wedding day. Below are a few things you should know about wedding bus hire. 

Choose A Suitable Bus

The number of passengers will help you determine the kind of bus you should hire. It would be impossible to pick up all your wedding guests using one bus. As such, you should divide them according to their locations. For instance, you could have one bus to pick up passengers that live outside your locality. The other bus could be used to pick up guests at specified locations inside your town. The wedding party will require separate means of transport. Party buses are an instant solution since they will keep the group entertained throughout the day.

Work With Reputable Companies

Conduct extensive research when choosing a bus hire company. Go for companies that have numerous positive reviews from previous clients. A visual inspection will help you determine the condition of the wheels, interior components and the safety features. Ask for the service records. Poorly kept buses are likely to break down on the big day. Evaluate the terms and conditions of hire. For instance: 

• Will the company offer alternative means of transport if the bus breaks down? 
• Will the company allow you to decorate the hired coach?
• What rules are there for using the bus?
• How experienced is the bus's driver? 

Communicate With Your Guests

From the onset, your guests should know the pickup location and time. Have a transport manager that will liaise with the various groups on the wedding day. Encourage your guests to be time conscious. Remember the hiring company may charge an extra cost if your guests are late if the driver makes additional stops.

Create a Transport Plan 

Meet with the drivers and company management a few days before the wedding. Provide them with the wedding program and the locations that they should pick up the wedding guests. More often than not, the company may suggest alternative routes to avoid traffic jams and to ensure your guests arrive on time on the wedding. You should also inform the company of any changes that you make before the wedding day. For instance, you could increase or reduce the bus capacity. 

Look for a wedding bus hire company that will meet your individual needs.
