24 Seat Mini Coach with a Professional Driver
The in-between vehicle: big enough for a club, small enough for village streets and boutique cellar doors.
About the mini coach
Our Rosa mini coach seats 24 passengers plus the driver. It has forward-facing coach seats, air conditioning and space at the rear for day bags. Seatbelt vehicles can be confirmed when you book.
The seats are closer together than in a full touring coach to fit the extra passengers in, so for a long highway run with every seat taken we may suggest a 39 seat coach instead.
Where the mini coach shines
Seniors and Probus clubs
A full club day out without paying for a big coach to run half empty. The mini coach handles the Blue Mountains, the Southern Highlands and Sydney sightseeing loops with ease.
Winery days
Many Hunter Valley cellar doors have driveways a 57 seat coach cannot use. A mini coach reaches the smaller producers and still carries a sizeable group. See Hunter Valley wine tours.
Weddings
Bridal parties and smaller guest lists, especially at venues with tight access. See wedding coach hire.
School and sporting groups
A single class, a specialist group or a representative team travelling to a carnival. See school excursion coaches.
Day tours
Private tours to the Blue Mountains, the Southern Highlands and Canberra.
Bigger or smaller?
For 20 or fewer, our 20 seat Coaster offers a little more leg room. For 25 or more, or for long days with luggage, step up to a touring coach. Compare everything on the fleet page.

A typical mini coach day
Take a seniors club heading to the Southern Highlands. The mini coach collects the group from their club car park at 8.30 am, follows the Hume south and comes off at Mittagong in under two hours. Morning tea is in Bowral, where the coach can set down close to the main street so no one has a long walk. Lunch is in Berrima, and the afternoon finishes at Fitzroy Falls before the run home. With 24 seats, the club fills the vehicle without paying to move a half empty touring coach, and the smaller size makes every stop easier.
The same shape works for a Blue Mountains day with lunch in Leura, a Hunter Valley day with four or five cellar doors, or a Sydney harbour loop for visitors.
Why size matters on the day
Village streets, café strips and winery driveways were not designed for 12 metre coaches. A mini coach can pull in closer, turn around in smaller spaces and wait in places a large coach cannot. For older travellers that means shorter walks; for the organiser it means fewer compromises on where the group can go.
At the same time, it is a genuine coach, with forward-facing coach seats and air conditioning, so a full day on the road is still comfortable. For groups who need more room or luggage space, the next step up is a 39 seat touring coach.
What every booking includes
Every hire comes with a professional driver who holds a driver authority and a Working With Children Check, an air conditioned vehicle registered for tour and charter work, and a run sheet agreed before the day. The driver’s name and mobile number are sent ahead of the trip, so the group leader can call if a flight lands early or a lunch runs long. Quotes are for the whole vehicle and driver, never per person, so the cost is shared across the group, and charter time runs from depot to depot.
Before the day, our office checks access at each address on your itinerary. If a venue has a length limit, a steep driveway or nowhere for a vehicle to wait, we will tell you and suggest a workable alternative, such as a nearby set-down point or a different size of vehicle. On the day, the driver follows the agreed timings, waits nearby at each stop and adjusts if the group’s plans change within the booked hours.
Planning tips
- Count heads carefully. If the group might grow past 24, book the next size up early.
- Send us every address on the itinerary so we can check coach access.
- Allow ten minutes at each stop for getting on and off, and more for older groups.
- Tell us about mobility needs so we can plan seating and stops.
Mini coach questions
How many people fit in the mini coach?
24 passengers plus the driver. Every passenger must have a seat.
Can the mini coach do long trips?
Yes, it regularly runs day tours out of Sydney. For long highway runs with a full load, a 39 seat coach is more comfortable.
Is there room for luggage?
There is space for day bags. For overnight luggage, tell us the number of bags so we can confirm the right vehicle.
