Minibus Hire Maidenhead

To hire a minibus from Fairview in Maidenhead, drivers must be between 25 and 65 years of age and hold a full valid DVLA driving licence held for at least two years. If you fall outside this age bracket, please speak to our Bray team directly, as you may be referred to our insurers, which could result in additional charges.

When collecting your minibus from our Bray branch, you’ll need to bring your full, valid DVLA driving licence and proof of address dated within the last three months, such as a utility bill or bank statement. You’ll also need a credit or debit card in the name of the main hirer. International licence holders may be required to provide additional documentation, and our team will confirm any specific requirements at the time of booking.

All minibus hires with Fairview include basic insurance covering third-party liability as standard. However, this comes with an excess amount in the event of an accident or damage. We recommend reviewing the full insurance policy carefully before your hire begins, and considering whether additional excess protection is right for you. Our team is happy to advise if you have any questions.

Yes, we accept both debit and credit cards at our Bray branch, provided the card is in the name of the main hirer. Business customers or organisations arranging group travel who would prefer to pay on account can discuss this with our team prior to booking, subject to prior agreement from us.

Subject to availability, same-day minibus hire may be possible at our Bray branch. Given that minibuses are in high demand, particularly during school holidays and event periods, we’d strongly recommend booking as far in advance as possible to secure the right vehicle for your group. If you do need something at short notice, call us directly and we’ll do everything we can to help.

Our branch is located at 274 Windsor Road, Bray, Maidenhead, SL6 2DT, just a short drive from Maidenhead town centre and easily accessible from junction 8/9 of the M4. For group collections, most customers arrange to be dropped off at the branch before departing together in the minibus. Maidenhead railway station is the closest rail option if anyone in your party is arriving by train, with local bus connections running towards Bray from the town centre.

Your minibus will be provided with a full tank of fuel at the start of your hire and must be returned the same way regardless of the distance covered. If returned with less than a full tank, the shortfall will be charged at the AA’s highest recorded pump price on the day of return, plus a 20% administration fee. With a larger fuel capacity than a standard car, it’s worth factoring in a fuel stop on your way back to the branch.

If you need to move your minibus booking to a different date, you can do so free of charge. Should you need to cancel altogether, a charge of 30% of the total booking value will apply. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the scheduled collection time will result in the full payment being retained. During peak periods such as school holidays and bank holidays, cancellations within seven days of collection are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled. Given the nature of group travel, we’d recommend arranging independent travel insurance to protect your booking.

For families needing more space than a standard car, our Bray branch has a great selection of options. From spacious people carriers that comfortably seat larger families to our range of minibuses for bigger groups, we have vehicles that take the stress out of travelling together.
