Leading corporate organisations book their transport with us
If you’ve ever wondered about the best way to get your group around Edinburgh and beyond without the usual faff, then Tour Coach & Minibus Hire might just be the answer. Whether it’s a family gathering heading to Arthur’s Seat for a wee hike, or pals making their way to a gig in Glasgow, having a reliable ride that fits everyone comfortably makes all the difference. There’s something special about piling in together, sharing laughs, and not worrying about parking or who’s the designated driver.
Here at Happy Travel in Edinburgh, we get how important it is to feel safe and valued on every trip. We’re not just another booking platform — we’re your neighbours, sharing the love for this city’s cobbled streets, hidden gems, and the buzz of the Royal Mile. Our fleet ranges from spacious coaches perfect for wedding parties to minibuses ideal for smaller groups exploring the city or venturing further afield.
You might be asking yourself, “With so many options, what makes Happy Travel stand out?” It’s simple. We combine local know-how with a genuine care for your journey. We’ve driven around the city ourselves, navigated the tricky bits like Leith’s one-way systems, and know the best spots for a comfort break en route to St Andrews or Perth.
Our platform lets you compare vehicles easily, so you’re not just guessing what fits your needs. Whether it’s a corporate outing to Dundee or a family trip to Carlisle, you see exactly what’s on offer — from legroom to luggage space — and pick what suits you best without the confusion.
While Edinburgh is our home turf, we also cover a good stretch around the City of Edinburgh. That means if your plans take you to St Andrews to catch some golf, or you fancy a weekend in Glasgow’s vibrant music scene, we’ve got you covered. Heading north to Dundee or Perth? Or maybe a trip south to Carlisle? Our vehicles and drivers are ready to help you get there safely and comfortably.
Travel can sometimes feel a bit stressful, especially if you’re organising a big group. We hear you. That’s why every vehicle we offer is maintained to the highest standards, with safety checks you can trust. Our drivers know the local roads well and treat your trip like it’s their own — punctual, polite, and professional. It’s about feeling relaxed from the moment you step on board to when you reach your destination.
