Looking to move a group around Llanidloes or further afield? This guide walks through choosing a minibus, agreeing the hire terms and making an enquiry that gets answered quickly.
What SDVH offers in Llanidloes
Self-drive rental gives you control of the schedule without depending on a hired driver's hours. Vehicles range from compact 9-seaters, which suit school runs, committee meetings and family gatherings, through mid-size options, up to 15 and 17-seaters for larger parties such as sports clubs, weddings or choir tours. Every minibus is fully insured and routinely maintained, and monthly arrangements can be discussed alongside standard short-term bookings. Depending on where you are, you can collect the vehicle yourself or ask about delivery to your address.
Choosing the right size
Seats are only half the story. Luggage, pushchairs, sports kit and instruments all eat into space, so count bags as well as people before you commit. Think about access too: older passengers or anyone with mobility needs may prefer a sliding side door and a low step. If you are unsure which category fits, describe the trip to the hire team and they will suggest a vehicle, or a similar model, that matches your passenger count and load.
Sorting the terms before you book
A little preparation prevents surprises later. Confirm your dates and whether they can flex by a day, then discuss the mileage arrangement that suits your route, since terms can vary between bookings. Check the standard insurance excess, list every named driver, and raise anything unusual early, whether that is one-way travel, a European trip or delivery and collection at particular times. Any charge for these extras will be set out before the agreement is finalised.
Making your enquiry count
The more detail you give, the faster a booking comes together. Set out your preferred pickup and return times, the rough mileage you expect to cover, and the main requirements for the vehicle. Exact model and availability are confirmed at the point of booking, so keeping your enquiry specific helps the team hold the right option for you.
