Coach hire in the UK typically costs between £400 and £1,200 per day, depending on the size of the coach, travel distance, number of hours, and whether it’s a weekday or weekend. Local trips are more affordable, while longer or overnight journeys increase the price.
Hiring a 70-seater coach usually costs between £750 and £1,500 per day. This price includes the driver, fuel, and insurance. The final rate depends on journey length, timing, location, and any additional services required, such as waiting time or multiple pickups.
Coach hire in London is generally higher due to Clean Air Zone (ULEZ) charges, traffic congestion, and limited coach parking. Expect to pay between £500 and £1,300 for a day’s hire, with costs influenced by your route, group size, and how central your drop-off location is.
Coach hire may seem expensive because it includes multiple hidden costs—such as vehicle maintenance, driver wages, insurance, licensing, fuel, and compliance with environmental laws (e.g. Euro VI engines). Additionally, during peak seasons or big events, demand increases prices.
On average, coach hire in the UK costs between £50 and £100 per hour. This hourly rate often applies to short hires within the same city or region. However, most companies prefer a minimum booking time or offer flat day rates for longer journeys.
If you're referring to sports coaches (not vehicles), football coaches in the UK typically charge between £35 and £60 per hour, depending on their experience, location, and coaching level (e.g., youth, academy, or professional level). Private 1-on-1 sessions may cost more.
