Planning a journey for a larger party? A checklist for booking an eight-seater minibus or group private hire from Petersfield, from passenger and luggage numbers to the written quote.

Group travel works best when the vehicle, luggage and timings are agreed up front. This checklist works with any private hire firm. TwentyFour7Cars, a Sponsored Business Club member based in Petersfield, says an eight-seater premium minibus is available; ask any firm what it can provide for your party.

Eight questions to ask

1. How many passengers can the vehicle carry, including children?
2. How much luggage fits alongside a full party?
3. What is the route, including every pick-up and drop-off?
4. What date, start time and finish time are you quoting for?
5. Does the quote cover waiting time and extra stops?
6. Is the price fixed once confirmed?
7. What are the terms if numbers or plans change?
8. Who do I call on the day?

Common group journeys

Corporate accounts: if your business books regularly, ask whether the firm offers an account and how invoicing works. TwentyFour7Cars says corporate accounts are welcome.

Splitting the cost and sharing the details

  • Decide who will pay and whether the firm needs one contact name for the booking.
  • Share the confirmed pick-up time and meeting point with everyone travelling, so nobody is left waiting.
  • If some passengers join at a different pick-up, list each address in the booking rather than agreeing it by phone on the day.
  • Ask what the firm needs from you if the headcount changes, and by when.

Before you confirm

  • Send the passenger count and a pick-up list, and get the quote in writing
  • Check the vehicle suits your party and bags together
  • Keep the firm's phone number with you on the day
