If you are heading away for a long weekend where you won&#8217;t be driving much, then a self-drive minibus makes much more sense. If you&#8217;re going to be touring local towns for a big night out, then a minibus with a driver is a much better option.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/minibus.php\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for a SELF-DRIVE minibus hire quote<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/minibushirewithdriver.php\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for a minibus WITH DRIVER quote<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are planning a stag or hen night then you need to think about transport.
