Compare Minibus Travel was built around a simple idea: hiring a minibus should be straightforward, safe and fairly priced. We’re based in Middlesbrough, right in the heart of Teesside, and over the years we’ve become the first call for families, schools, sports clubs and businesses across the North East who need reliable group transport.
Why local businesses and families choose us
Teesside is a close-knit region, and reputation matters. We’ve built ours one journey at a time — turning up on time, keeping vehicles spotless, and making sure every driver treats passengers the way we’d want our own families treated. Whether it’s a wedding party heading to a venue in Yarm, a school trip to Preston Park, or a stag party bound for Newcastle, the same standard applies every time.
Our fleet
Our minibuses range from 5 to 16 seats, in standard, executive and luxury trims. Every vehicle is safety inspected every six weeks, cleaned before each job, and fitted out for comfort on both short local hops and longer motorway runs to airports and cities further afield.
Fully licensed, insured and DBS checked
All of our drivers are DBS checked and professionally trained, and every vehicle operates under a full private hire licence with comprehensive passenger insurance. For school transport and youth group bookings in particular, this gives parents, teachers and group leaders genuine peace of mind.
Serving Teesside and beyond
We’re proud to be based in Middlesbrough, and most of our work comes from Teesside: Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham, Redcar and Darlington are all just a short drive from our base. We also regularly cover Hartlepool, Sunderland, Durham and Newcastle, and our minibuses travel to destinations across the whole of the UK — airport transfers, sporting fixtures, weddings and city breaks included.
