We hired star coaches for our recent trip to York Race course. The process of making the booking couldn't have been any easier. Jonathan was prompt at responding to emails and any request was no trouble.

Our driver on the day was Andy, he on time as planned and he was very courteous and friendly. He even stopped off for a much needed loo break without anyone asking him! He was ready and waiting for us at the end of the day and got us all home safe.

Thankyou so much to Andy & Star Coaches !

Response from the owner 10:24 03 Jun 25

I run a day service for adults with learning disabilities and last week star coaches took our group to St Anne's for the day. They were fantastic!

We will definitely use star coaches again for future trips!
