Minibus Taxi in Ashford, with a driver included
A minibus taxi takes the organising out of group travel. Instead of coordinating several cars, everyone meets at one pickup point and travels together. Our 12 seater and 14 seater minibuses each take a large case and a piece of hand luggage for every passenger.
The driver is included, so nobody in the group has to stay sober or find parking. It is the practical choice for stag and hen parties, wedding guests, sports teams, school and club trips, and big families flying out of Gatwick or Heathrow.
Why Book your Minibus Taxi in Ashford with Plus Ride
Large groups get the same standards as every Plus Ride booking: a fixed fare, a vetted driver and a vehicle that turns up on time.
One fixed fare per vehicle
Priced for the whole vehicle, not per head. No meter, no surge.
Everyone together
Your whole group travels in one vehicle and arrives at the same time.
Luggage planned in

Where Our Ashford Minibuses Travel
Our minibus taxis from Ashford cover airport runs, events and days out across Kent and beyond. Journey times are approximate and depend on traffic.
Leeds Castle and Maidstone are reached on the M20 westbound, Canterbury on the A28. Airport runs continue west on the M20 and M26 to the M25, while trips into London usually follow the M20 and A20. Minibuses take slightly longer than cars on busy roads, so we allow for it in your pickup time.
Planning group timings
Early mornings are best for airport runs and long journeys out of Kent.
Weekday rush hours on the M20 and M25 can add 30 minutes or more to a minibus journey.
Event days and holidays bring heavy traffic near venues and ports. We plan a realistic arrival time.
Loading 12 or 14 people and their luggage takes longer than a car pickup. Tell us if the group is meeting at one address or several and we will build the collection time into your booking.
Minibus pickups across Ashford
We collect groups from homes, hotels, venues and stations in and around Ashford, including:
- Ashford town centre
- Ashford International station
- Kennington
- Kingsnorth
- Willesborough
- Park Farm
- Wye
- Charing
Groups of eight or fewer may prefer our 8 seater taxi in Ashford. For local journeys, see our Ashford taxi service.
Airports, Events and Days Out
From holiday flights to wedding days, our Ashford minibus taxis go wherever your group needs to be.
Group airport transfers
Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted and the other London airports. On the way home we track your flight and allow 60 minutes of free waiting after landing.
Weddings, parties and trips
Transfers between ceremony and reception, nights out in Canterbury or London, sports fixtures, school and club trips, and visits to Leeds Castle or the coast.
Planning a Minibus Trip From Ashford
Start with the headcount and the luggage. Twelve passengers with small bags fit our 12 seater; fourteen with holiday cases fit the 14 seater. If the group is larger, we can send two vehicles timed to arrive together.
For events, give us the start and finish times and the venue address. We can wait and return, or collect at an agreed time, and the fare is fixed in advance.
What to tell us when you book
- Number of passengers
- Luggage, sports kit or equipment
- One pickup address or several
- Event or flight times
- Whether you need a wait-and-return

Excellent service

January 4, 2026Jeg bestilte en elbil luksusbil. Hva jeg fikk var et møkkete gammel rusten bensin bil. Absolutt ikke i nærheten av hva jeg hadde bestilt og betalt for. Sjåføren var masete, ringte og sendte meg meldinger konstant på WhatsApp etter landing. Han forklarte at jeg måtte forte meg ut av terminalen fordi han måtte betale ekstra mye for parkering. Jeg mener det er ikke mitt problem. Jeg hadde bestilt taxi med alle opplysninger om hvilket fly jeg kom med. Jeg ga beskjed når jeg landet på WhatsApp som han ba om, jeg ga beskjed når bagasjen kom som han ba om. Virket som et veldig useriøst selskap. Aldri igjen.
