The Guildford minibus and people-carrier range covers 7, 9, 12, 15 and 17-seat options, each figure including the driver.

Nine-seat automatic minibus for group travel without manual transmission.
Twelve seats for events, schools, clubs and medium-sized group trips.

Build the passenger and meeting-point plan
Working through these points helps settle on a vehicle before you commit to dates.
Add the driver to your headcount before comparing seat classes, since every figure from 7 to 17 already includes them.
A bigger seat count doesn't automatically mean more load space, so describe what's travelling alongside your team.
Have your preferred delivery point and, separately, your return or collection point ready to discuss.
Mention any specific seating or loading requirements when you enquire, rather than after the vehicle is agreed.
Local coverage
Guildford sits within Surrey, and self-drive minibus and people-carrier hire is arranged across the town for eligible addresses. The same range is available a little further out too, including Shalford, Merrow and Worplesdon, so if your team is gathering from one of these areas rather than the town centre, mention it and we can confirm what's workable for your booking.
