Can a Taxi Take 5 or More Passengers?

A standard saloon car taxi is usually licensed for up to 4 passengers, so for 5 or more you'll need a larger vehicle. Let us know your group size when you book and we'll arrange a minibus or larger vehicle sized to fit everyone, plus luggage.

When Groombridge Groups Choose a Larger Vehicle

Group Airport Transfers

Travelling to Gatwick, Heathrow or another airport as a family or group? One larger vehicle keeps everyone and their luggage together, rather than splitting across two or three separate cars.

Weddings at Groombridge Place

Groombridge Place sits down a private drive with limited parking, so pre-booked group transport helps guests arrive smoothly between hotels in Tunbridge Wells and the venue.

School Runs

We offer regular contract school-run bookings for families across Groombridge and the surrounding villages, with the same driver assigned to the same route each day for consistency.

Why Group Transport Matters in a Small Village

Groombridge is a village of around 1,600 people, split across the Kent/East Sussex border, with no taxi rank of its own — which makes a single, pre-booked larger vehicle genuinely useful whenever more than a couple of you are travelling together, whether that's a family heading to the airport, wedding guests moving between Groombridge Place and their hotel, or children needing a consistent ride to St Thomas' C of E Primary School. Rather than coordinating two or three separate cars, one fixed-price booking covers the whole group.

We don't publish a single flat rate for minibus and group hire, since it depends on group size, vehicle, distance and occasion — call or WhatsApp us and we'll agree a fixed price before you travel. Information on this page confirmed as of September 2026. For current UK minibus and PSV licensing standards, DVSA's official website is the authoritative source.

Minibus & Group Hire — Frequently Asked Questions

Do you charge per person for group bookings, or one price for the vehicle?

One fixed price for the whole vehicle, not per passenger. Some operators charge per person on group trips, which can add up quickly, but we agree a single fixed fare for the group booking before you travel, whatever the group size within the vehicle's capacity.

Is minibus pricing fixed the same way your standard fares are?

Yes. We don't have a published flat rate for minibus and group hire yet, since it depends on group size, vehicle, distance and occasion, but the same fixed-price principle applies — we agree your price with you before you travel, not on a running meter.
