Minibus hire in Keswick for a group of 12 hikers?

James Roberts•2 months ago•690 views•Lake District

Our hiking club is planning a weekend trip to Keswick 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 Hertz 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.

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

I'd recommend checking out Arnold Clark. They have a location near the train station and their prices are competitive. I hired a Kia Sportage from them last summer and it was perfect for the narrow roads around the area.
