Tucked on the outskirts of Winchester, Compton is a wonderfully tranquil village that makes for a peaceful rural retreat – an absolute delight to call home!
Public transport is limited, however, so if you live here and are looking to organise travel for a group, we’re here to help! Between coordinating a fleet of cars for an early start and limited public transport options, getting everyone where they need to be, together, can prove to be a logistical puzzle. That’s where we come in! Since 2011, our friendly and reliable team has been providing stress-free Minibus Hire Southampton for special occasions and day trips – we can supply a driven minibus in 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 seater options, so whether you need a cosy 6-seater minibus for a trip out with the family or you’re organising transport for the whole club in an 18-seater, we’ve got you covered!
We pride ourselves on providing hassle-free transport to and from local attractions and hotspots – we can conveniently drop your group off and then return for collection at a later time, so you’re free to enjoy a relaxing walk along the Itchen Way or while away a leisurely afternoon exploring the beautiful Shawford Park.
If you’re looking to venture a little further afield, we can also link you up to the Compton and Shawford railway station for onward travel on the mainline network, and regularly make trips to Southampton Airport and Southampton’s cruise terminals. If you’re travelling with a big group, our driven minibus service can also collect from multiple locations, so we can pick your fellow passengers up en-route – we even cover trips to neighbouring hamlets!

Getting to and from a wedding or other special celebration is easy with our Minibus Hire Southampton service, too! There are plenty of gorgeous historic venues in and around Compton, but parking can be limited and roads leading to some of the locations can be fairly narrow, making it tricky for guests to get there and potentially adding unwanted stress and delays on the big day. Our professional minibus hire service means your guests can enjoy a smooth and timely transfer from the ceremony at the historic St Mary’s Church to the reception venue, and even back home again afterwards! We’re confident with tricky country lanes and have local knowledge of quieter routes through the Itchen Valley, too – you can relax in the knowledge that our friendly drivers know the area and will have everyone where they need to be, happy and on time!
Our Southampton minibus hire with driver service is also popular with schools and other community groups in the area – from trips to away fixtures for the lads and lasses at nearby Twyford School to field trips for pupils at Winchester College! Term time gets busy fast, so get in touch to enquire as early as possible.
Day trips are a breeze with our minibus hire Southampton service – visit historic sights like Winchester’s cathedral or explore attractions nearer the coast in Portsmouth. Our handy minibus hire service means no more worrying about expensive parking or who’s going to be the designated driver!
