What to know

A licensed minibus or MPV is usually a private hire booking. You will not find eight seats waiting on every rank in Swansea.

Headcount, luggage (golf, suitcases, instruments), pickup addresses, and return legs. Stag/hen and wedding transfers often need a clear timeline.

Drivers and vehicles must be licensed. Ask the operator to confirm they are licensed for the journey — especially if crossing licensing boundaries.

Two cars can be cheaper for four people with light bags. A minibus wins for comfort, one pickup, and larger parties.

Can I hail a minibus?: Unlikely. Book private hire. Some towns have larger hackneys — still ask before you assume.
Do council tariffs cover minibuses?: Published hackney tables are for metered taxis of the licensed kind. Charter minibuses use agreed private-hire pricing.
