Self-drive 9-seater minibus rental in Ashbourne?

Emma Thompson•today•355 views•Peak District

I need to arrange minibus transport for a family group of 9 people in Ashbourne. We'll be staying for a week and want to explore the surrounding hiking trails. Is it better to hire a self-drive minibus or use a minibus with a driver for day trips? Any recommendations for reliable companies in the area?

I've found Avis 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.

I'd recommend checking out Lake District Hire. They have a location near the train station and their prices are competitive. I hired a Ford Focus from them last summer and it was perfect for the narrow roads around the area.
