A smart offer for your school transport
For primary and secondary schools located near our coach depots, be sure to make use of this brilliant offer. The School Smart Discount can save you up to 50% on school coach hire when booking transport between 9:30 am and 2:30 pm, for any requirement within your National Curriculum programme, helping you to save money on your travel budget.
Let’s put this into context…
If you are looking for shuttles to and from the local swimming centre, for regular lessons between 10 am and 12 pm but need reliable and cheap transport - this offer could be the one for you.
If you are located close to one of our depots or a contract that is running mornings and afternoons, we could provide your hire in between the contracts. This means the hire would be at a saver rate due to the vehicle being a shorter mileage away.
All you need to do is quote our discount code ‘School Smart’ to see if your school trips meet our criteria and take advantage of this regular savers offer.
