We don't offer self-drive hire — but what we do offer is often more convenient and similarly priced: a professional, licensed driver included in every booking. No insurance headaches. No one stays sober. No returning the vehicle.
Self-drive minibus hire requires specialist group hire insurance that can add hundreds to the total cost. Our all-inclusive price covers everything — you're insured the moment you step on board.
With self-drive, someone in your group has to stay dry and drive home. With a Tigers Transport driver, everyone can enjoy the day — weddings, nights out, sporting events, all covered.
Driving a minibus with more than 8 passenger seats requires a D1 licence category. Most standard UK licences don't cover this. Our professional drivers hold all required PSV licences.
Self-drive hire means someone has to get the vehicle back to the depot at a set time. With driver hire, the vehicle leaves when you're done. No rushing, no deadlines, no extra charges.
Our quotes include the driver, fuel, congestion charge, and parking. Self-drive quotes often exclude fuel, insurance top-ups, and mileage charges — making the final bill a surprise.
Our drivers know London's roads, bus lanes, ULEZ zones, and parking restrictions. No wasted time navigating an unfamiliar large vehicle through central London traffic.

Not as much as most people expect. Self-drive minibus rental requires specialist hire insurance (which adds significantly to the headline price), the correct D1 licence, and someone to stay sober and return the vehicle. Our all-inclusive price covers the driver, fuel, congestion charge, and parking — the final cost is often very comparable.
