Greg provided the most professional, friendly, and flexible service, and at a great price. He even was ready to help us out last minute when we thought another company had messed us about. Great guy and great minibus service. Highly recommended!

I can't rate Eastbourne Minibuses more highly. We used booked 3 Minibuses for pick up and drops off to and from our wedding venue. Greg on the run up to the event was fantastic really easy to communicate with and we got exactly what we asked for. On the day all the drivers arrived early for both pick up times and were extremely friendly. For any large group taxi trips I would strongly recommend them.

What a great service. We booked at the last minute to take us back after doing the South Downs Way. Greg was positive and enthusiastic about supporting us a clearly understood the challenges around timing. On the day we kept Greg updated and Wayne who was driving arrived within 60 seconds of us getting to the end. Perfect. We loaded up, he took us to buy a few things and then got us home. Could not ask for a better service.
