Minibus hire in Ambleside for a group of 12 hikers?

James Roberts•1 month ago•492 views•Lake District

Our hiking club is planning a weekend trip to Ambleside with 12 members. We need to hire a minibus to get everyone around efficiently. Has anyone hired a minibus in this area before? Looking for recommendations on companies that offer self-drive minibus hire, approximate costs, and any requirements (special license needed?). Any tips would be much appreciated!

I've found Highland Motors to be the most reliable in the area. They're not always the cheapest, but their vehicles are newer and they don't hit you with unexpected charges at the end. Worth paying a bit extra for peace of mind.

If you're looking for something budget-friendly, try Yorkshire Vehicles. They're a local firm with good rates. The cars aren't the newest but they're reliable and perfect for exploring the area.

I've used Enterprise in {location} several times and they've been great. Their rates are reasonable and the vehicles are well-maintained. They also have a good range of options from small cars to larger SUVs.
