Minibus hire in Dumfries for a group of 12 hikers?

James Roberts•1 week ago•818 views•Southern Scotland

Our hiking club is planning a weekend trip to Dumfries 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!

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

We had a good experience with Peak Rentals last year. They offer free delivery to your accommodation which was really convenient. Their staff were helpful and the booking process was straightforward.

I've found Sixt 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.
