Group Travel Scotland: Vans, Coasters, Coaches
Choosing the right vehicle for 6, 8, 16 or 50 passengers

Key takeaways
- 8 to 53 passenger capacity
- Weddings, corporate and sports groups
- Coaster and coach are quote-only
Booking group transport in Scotland — for weddings, corporate away-days, sports teams or extended families — hinges on picking the right vehicle. Too small and you split into multiple cars; too large and you overpay.
