Minibus Hire for Events
JRP Direct is a family-run minibus and coach hire company based in Heathfield, East Sussex, providing event transport across Sussex, Kent, London and the wider South East. Since 2019, we have grown into a modern fleet of 15 vehicles, driven by DBS-checked, well-presented drivers and supported by an office that answers the phone.
Our event minibuses are clean, climate-controlled and comfortable, with a choice of 16-seater minibuses, 19-seater executive minibuses, 35-seater team coaches and wheelchair-accessible executive coaches (51 seats plus one dedicated wheelchair space). Every vehicle carries CCTV and telematics, and is prepared to a high standard of cleanliness before every hire.
Most of our event work falls into a few familiar shapes. Each gets the same care: early arrival, a confirmed driver, and transparent paperwork before the day.
Weddings and private celebrations
From one vehicle ferrying the bridal party between ceremony and reception, to a full shuttle operation collecting guests from hotels at the end of the night. Drivers are briefed on timings, venue access and named contacts, so nobody is standing in the car park wondering who to call.
Corporate events and away days
Executive minibuses for corporate conferences, client days, exhibitions, office socials and company celebrations. Smart vehicles, professional drivers, optional Wi-Fi, charging and PA on request. If the event runs late, we adjust the return time before it becomes a problem.
Sporting events and club fixtures
Team coaches for match days, training, tournaments and all sorts of sports fixtures. A trailer can be arranged for a bulkier kit, and drivers are used to late returns after evening games without making it anyone’s problem.
School, college and community events
End-of-term outings, SEN transport, prom pick-ups, choir tours, carnival floats, club days, and general school trips. All drivers hold enhanced DBS checks, and accessibility equipment is checked as part of our pre-journey routine.
Theatre, shopping and cultural day trips
Group transport for London West End shows, Goodwood meetings, Glyndebourne, Brighton shopping days, coastal trips, and any private itinerary where you want the group to stay together and arrive together.
European tours and multi-day events
We operate UK and European trips, working with you on route planning, driver-hours compliance and accommodation logistics. Particularly popular for sports tours, school trips, milestone birthdays and anniversary tours.
What’s Included in JRP Direct Minibus Hire?
Every event booking includes the same fundamentals. You should not have to ask for any of them.
A professional, DBS-checked driver
Smartly presented, trained in accessibility where relevant, and fully briefed on your event details before they leave Heathfield. If your booking runs to more than one vehicle, the lead driver takes responsibility for keeping the group together on the road.
A modern, clean vehicle
Every vehicle is thoroughly cleaned before every hire. Cabins are climate-controlled, seating is supportive, and there is generous headroom and aisle space. Luggage is kept tidy, and a trailer can be arranged for bulkier kit by prior agreement.
15 minutes early as standard
Our drivers aim to arrive at the first pickup point 15 minutes before the booked time, every time. You don’t need to phone to check.
Clear paperwork and confirmed details
You get a written quote, a confirmed itinerary, driver contact details, and a single point of contact in the office. No surprise charges on the day.
CCTV and telematics on every vehicle
Every JRP vehicle carries onboard CCTV and audio recording, plus live vehicle tracking. That matters for school trips, SEN groups and late-night wedding shuttles, and it matters for compliant corporate hires.
Extras
Wi-Fi, charging, PA for a tour host, chilled bottled water, Bluetooth audio, DVD entertainment, wedding ribbons and trailer hire. We’ll sort out what you need if you tell us in advance.
