We are proud to offer one of the largest self drive minibus hire fleets surrounding Sawbridgeworth & Cambridge. Our very high repeat customer business is it’s own testament to our service and minibuses we provide. The owner of Alley Cat Rentals is also a qualified Minibus Driver auditor. We have over a decade of providing minibuses to our clients, including schools, colleges, universities, sports clubs, scout groups and many more not forgetting the general public. These vehicles are brilliant for small to large group travel. Should it be a day out or holiday excursion, a minibus provides a cost effective way to travel, whilst adding to the fun and togetherness with all the practicality.
Who can hire our minibuses?
Anyone with a standard car licence who is over the age of 30 for insurance purposes driver our 9 seaters. If you want to hire one of our 17 Seaters you’ll need a D1 Category. Use the filter below to discover more about each vehicle.
Do your minibuses have tow bars?
Yes! You can hitch your trailer or towing device for your journey. We have plug adapters at no extra cost if you need one. You can also hire one of our trailers if you wish.
Is there anything unique about driving these vehicles?
You’ll be surprised at how “car like” these vehicles are, especially the 9 Seaters. Like vans, they offer a higher ride giving a really good view ahead. Being a longer and heavier vehicle especially when loaded it’s important you leave a longer distance between you and the vehicle in-front so you can stop safely. Our minibuses are equipped with parking sensors to give a helping hand, after a few short journeys you’ll naturally learn to accommodate for the extra space needed but don’t be afraid to ask someone to be a look out when parking if you are unfamiliar. Another important factor is the height of the vehicle, don’t worry as our vehicles clearly display the height so you can manage any road restrictions. If you are new to driving a minibus you will also want to make sure that the passengers aren’t a distraction whilst on the road whilst you get use to the new dimensions. Our owner is a trained Minibus instructor, if you’re still unsure about anything we are happy to spend some time with you, just let us know.
