Groups travelling from Beaufort, whether for school outings, fixtures or family occasions, can arrange a self-drive minibus sized to the headcount, from compact 9-seaters up to roomy 17-seaters.
Getting started with your booking
Arranging a minibus through SDVH is straightforward: tell us when you need the vehicle and how many seats you require, and we will confirm what is available. Collection can be made locally, or you may ask about delivery to your address. Short hires and longer monthly agreements are both possible, so a weekend trip and an extended project can be handled on the same terms. Every vehicle is fully insured and undergoes routine safety checks before it goes out. If nobody in your party wants to drive, self-drive is the standard arrangement, giving your nominated driver full control of the itinerary.
Choosing the right size
Seat numbers vary considerably across the fleet, so it is worth matching the vehicle to the occasion rather than guessing. Nine-seaters suit small committees, airport runs and compact family parties. When numbers creep into double figures, a 12-seater offers a sensible middle ground with extra luggage room. Larger parties, such as sports squads or whole-class outings, are better served by a 15- or 17-seater. Think about kit as well as people: pushchairs, instrument cases, match bags and presentation materials all eat into space, so mention bulky items when you enquire.
Terms worth checking before you commit
A few details deserve attention before the agreement is signed. Confirm your dates and collection times, and ask how the mileage option applies to your journey length. Standard insurance is included in every hire, though the excess and any optional extras should be understood in advance. Check who will be listed as named drivers and what licences they hold, particularly for the larger seat counts. If you need the vehicle dropped off, taken elsewhere at the end of the hire, or driven into Europe, raise these points early so the arrangements can be confirmed properly.
Making your enquiry count
The more precise your first message, the quicker we can confirm a suitable vehicle. Include your preferred dates, rough mileage, passenger numbers and any special requirements such as access needs or extra load space. Availability and the exact model are confirmed at the point of booking, giving you certainty before you finalise the rest of your plans.
