Although charming and picture perfect, planning group transport from the remote and very rural New Forest villages of Ashurst and Netley Marsh can be tricky! With our minibus hire service we offer a simple solution to getting your group where they need to be together without the hassle of limited bus connections from these areas or organising multiple cars and early start times!
Travelling from/to the New Forest villages? Minibus Hire Southampton specialise in connecting customers from rural areas to major transport hubs. Our driven minibus service regularly picks up from the remote New Forest villages of Ashurst and Netley Marsh and travels to Southampton Airport, Southampton's popular cruise ship terminal or even as close as Ashurst railway station!
Travelling somewhere within the New Forest area? Make the most of your time out and about in the beautiful New Forest area whether that's visiting the popular tourist attraction of Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary, going for a walk on the forest trails or visiting your local village community event at St John the Baptist Church. Leave the driving stress to us with our convenient drop off and collection service!
Planning a wedding/celebration? Many of the popular wedding and celebration venues in the New Forest area have limited parking and can be reached via single track lanes which can really play havoc with timings! Minibus Hire Southampton's wedding and celebration service can whisk your guests from the gorgeous village church to reception venue and home again afterwards, leaving you and your guests feeling happy relaxed and on time!
