Struggling to plan group transport in and out of picturesque Newtown? Leave it with us!
We can collect you and your group from anywhere in and around quaint Newtown and shuttle you to your chosen destination on the Isle of Wight or the mainline. We can even collect other members of your group en route. Our Newtown based driven minibus hire service has been running since 2011 and we’ve got 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 seaters available (from £35 for the smaller ones, and from £75 for the bigger), helping you get a no-obligation quote from us and know exactly how much you’ll pay before you book.
Skip the stress of navigating Newtown’s narrow single track roads and dodgy parking arrangements (especially close to the nature reserve!) and let our expert local drivers shuttle your group to one of the island’s ferry terminals (Wightlink or Red Funnel) to continue your journey, or collect you on arrival.
Why not make a day of your visit to the idyllic Isle of Wight hamlet and drop a few of the group at Newtown’s popular National Nature Reserve whilst others visit pretty Holy Trinity Church or explore Newtown Old Town Hall? Alternatively we can help your whole group get to some of the island’s other top attractions – book ahead to secure your day trip to Newport, Cowes or elsewhere on the IOW, or ahead of fixtures or away days for your sports team. We regularly help community and school groups with transport needs too.

Planning a special day in Newtown? Whether you’re getting married at one of the local venues (including the church!), or planning another celebration, parking for guests can be patchy in Newtown so let us know if you’d like us to shuttle guests and other members of the group from ceremony to reception to their respective accommodations and onwards.
We can even take you further afield if you fancy, meaning you can book one of our minibuses ahead of a trip to a local market, fete or other special event!
Our locally-based, DBS checked, Certificate of Professional Competence holding drivers would be happy to help – enquire today. Call our Ocean Village based office on 02381 120 005 or email bookings@minibushiresouthampton.com to find out more – just tell us your pick up and drop off locations, dates/times, how many people you’ll be and the amount of luggage you’ll have and we’ll let you know! Cash, card and bank transfer payments can all be made. We have special offers for University of Southampton students and discounts for NHS staff. Remember to book ahead for trips over weekends and bank holidays too!
