Our 9-seater minibus offers a flexible seating configuration that adapts to your needs. The front row seats three (including the driver), the middle row seats up to three with reversible seating, and the rear row accommodates three more passengers. All six rear seats are fully removable, so you can customise your layout — whether you need 5, 6, or 7 seats to balance comfort and luggage space.
Why choose a minibus?
Hiring a 9-seater or 8-seater minibus is the ideal way to transport more people without stretching your budget. It strikes the perfect balance between space, comfort and practicality, making it easy to drive and park around London.
Whether you’re heading to the airport, attending a wedding, taking colleagues to a job or travelling with family, this option saves you the hassle of using multiple cars, keeping travel costs and emissions low.
The removable and reversible seating gives you complete flexibility: carry passengers, luggage or both. The workstation seat, tinted windows and USB charging points make longer journeys even more convenient.
At Pace Van Hire, we make the process straightforward with no hidden fees, no deposit options, and a well-maintained fleet that’s regularly serviced for reliability.
