  • “A Gem Of Your Team”

    “I am really pleased to see that a coach driver has such a kind heart and professional attitude. Children all arrived at their destination safely and happy! He is a gem of your team! And I hope that you can pass on our gratitude and thank you so much again for being a very good driver, giving the children a very good example of how it should be behind the wheel.”

What We Do

JRP Direct is a family-run minibus and coach hire company based at Buttons Farm in Cross in Hand, near Heathfield, East Sussex. Since 2019 we’ve built a modern fleet, from 16-seater minibuses through to 71-75-seater school coaches and a wheelchair-accessible executive coach, and put a genuinely local team behind every booking.

We work with schools, care homes, wedding parties, sports clubs and businesses across Sussex (including Brighton, Eastbourne, and Hastings), Kent (including Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, and Tonbridge) and London, including regular airport transfers to Stansted, Gatwick and Heathrow. Wherever the journey starts, it’s handled by the same small office that answers the phone and the same drivers who turn up 15 minutes early, DBS-checked and ready to go.

What sets us apart isn’t size, it’s consistency. Every hire is backed by clear communication, transparent pricing and straightforward booking, so you know exactly what to expect before the day arrives. If you’re planning a trip and want to talk it through, our office is happy to help on 01435 515099 or at info@jrpdirect.co.uk.
