Have questions in mind?

What school transport safety protocols does Travel Force UK adhere to?

Student safety is paramount. Our protocols are normal, regular vehicle checks on safety and maintenance over and above statutory obligations; all vehicles equipped with the most up-to-date safety equipment (e.g., seatbelts); all drivers holding enhanced DBS checks and necessary licenses; careful compliance with driver hours regulations; and full insurance cover. In addition, we have emergency operating procedures and regular vehicle cleaning.

Are your drivers specially trained to carry children and young people?

Yes, definitely. In addition to general professional driving credentials, all our chauffeurs assigned to school coach hire and school minibus hire are talked through and trained particularly in procedures for the transportation of children and young people. This includes knowledge of the need to be patient, good communication with teachers/supervisors, following pick-up/drop-off procedures, and fostering a responsible, child-conducive environment. Their further DBS checks also give further confidence of their appropriateness.

What baggage or equipment can be taken aboard by school parties?

Our minibuses and coaches offer large enough storage space to carry the usual equipment of school parties, such as sports gear, rucksacks, and teaching equipment. The amount allowed will depend on the size of the vehicle. For big pieces of equipment such as musical instruments, sports equipment (e.g., football posts, ski gear), or science fair exhibits, we strongly suggest letting us know when you book. This helps us to reserve an appropriate-sized vehicle or make alternative storage arrangements, so that all school equipment makes the journey safely.

How far in advance do schools need to pre-book their minibus hire or coach hire?

For school outings, particularly larger groups of students, more than one vehicle, or in the busy school periods (i.e., exam period outings, end-term trips, sport competitions), we highly recommend that you arrange your school coach rental or minibus rental as early as your school schedule permits. Ideally, it should be weeks or months in advance. Early reservation ensures car availability, gives enough time for a well-thought-out plan of itineraries, and ensures the best competitive rates for your school budget.

Do you offer scheduled shuttle services for daily school runs or inter-campus transfer?

Yes, Travel Force UK has significant experience in offering planned, reliable school transportation services for daily runs and inter-campus transfers. We consult with schools to create customized routes and itineraries which are carefully integrated with bell schedules and student requirements. This promotes on-time reliability, reduced parent vehicles on the road, and provides a safe, stress-free option for children traveling between home and school, or school locations. We offer committed account management for recurring services.

How is adult supervision on school trips organized?

Whilst the safe driving and operation of vehicles rests with our drivers, it is a requirement that there is adequate adult supervision (e.g., teaching assistants, parent volunteers, teachers) organized by the school for all groups of students on board. There should be a minimum number of supervising adults which is in line with your school’s own internal policy and legislative guidelines on student-to-adult ratio. Our drivers will be in constant contact with the assigned trip leader at all the pick-up and drop points for secure student transportation.

How do you arrange things if there is a last-minute route or itinerary change to a school trip?

We understand that school timetables may change occasionally in an unpredictable way. Travel Force UK endeavors to be flexible and helpful as reasonably possible. If you wish to change your booking information – for instance, pick-up time, location, or numbers of students – please contact your assigned account manager or our customer services team at the earliest opportunity. Though we will always attempt to accommodate your requirement, last-minute changes are at the mercy of available drivers and vehicles and in certain cases may involve an extra charge. Notice in advance facilitates smooth changes.

Do you offer child seats or booster seats for young students?

Travel Force UK is in compliance with all child passenger safety regulations relevant to our business. For lower grade students who need child seats or booster seats, we are generally able to make these available on a subject to vehicle type and availability basis. It is extremely important that they let us know how many and what age of children need such seats when booking so we can enable the appropriate equipment to be fitted and ready for your trip. Such schools can also use their own approved child seats, to be fixed in our vehicles by our drivers.
