going to hire a 8 seater

£70 a day = £140

fuel=£100 for 680miles

14 hours drivng @ £10 an hour = £140

thats £340 how can they justifly £500?

so just for labour the driver wants £260? for 14 hours at most!

 

Errr no, it's £160 labour.

 

Try again Tony.

first you require more than a eight seater as I have already mentioned

second. the fuel costs will be double what you estimated

third wear and tear

fourth insurance costs

fifth office and admin cost

sixth advertising

seventh budget for repairs

and so on

just as a matter of intrest will you post what you actually have to pay if you get one just so people know

yes might be better to get a bigger bus

680 miles in a van is about £120 in fuel as vans does 20mpg on motorway minimun

so 30 gallons/600miles@£4 a gallon will cover the fuel cost

wear and tear and insurance/admin is cover in hire cost

still asking for a lot of labour if

van hire =£140

fuel= £120

so for 12 hours work the driver is asking for £240 or £20.00per hour for driving down the M1!

if you factor in advertising/admin/etc might as well factor in his kids birthday/xmas present,

I will stand by my estimate and for what it is worth I would consider it to be a price I would expect to to pay.And one final question if you used a 8 or 12 seater mini bus what would you charge

havnt though about that

fuel £120

time 12 hours

£20 an hour for a semi professional with tools

i though £360 will be a fair

any minibus driver like to comment and how much will it cost?

i wouldnt drive a mini bus for a living as i find it very boring to drive on motorway is as much fun as watching paint dry

Try 1st Class Travel (0800 970 4844)) they charged me £300 return for 6 passengers to London Heatrow and back, and that was in a nice Chrysler Voyager

i am off on holiday in dec and need a 8 seater bus to take me to heathrow airport, does anyone know a good cheap firm that cant qoute how much?

 

Go with megabus - it departs from Meadowhall Bus Station and only costs £1 per person + 50p booking fee. Don't know where it goes to in London, but you can always get the tube the rest of the way.

[Averi 10]

It is not always cheaper with megabus. if you book early then ,yes , you can get a deal at £1 but say for 27th dec and coming back on 29 th it is total of more than £200 for 8 persons.

add to that the cost of the heathrow express and tube fares plus all the lugging about with luggage and it does not work out so appealing after all does it
