Where we go

From Ellesmere Port town centre and the National Waterways Museum to the shops and hotels around Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet, we cover the local patch and beyond. We regularly run services to Chester city centre, venues in Bromborough, Bebington, Halewood and Neston — and throughout Cheshire for weddings and nights out.

Local routes

A typical weekend route might start at a home in Neston, collect friends in Bebington, stop off near Cheshire Oaks for dinner and finish at Chester’s bars — all without anyone needing to drive.

Booking tips

Want the best deal? Book early for bank holiday weekends and prom season. Split the cost evenly among passengers, and consider hiring the 16-seater party bus for the outward journey while using a smaller minibus home if you want to reduce costs. If the group grows, combine vehicles from our fleet through a single booking to keep everyone together.

A real tale from a local booking

I’ll never forget the time a bride-to-be rang in a panic after a last-minute cancellation. We found a 16-seater party bus, the driver picked everyone up from Bebington, we squeezed in a cheeky detour past Cheshire Oaks so the girls could snap photos, and arrived at the venue right on time. The bride cried (happy tears), the driver was calm, and the evening felt seamless — that’s the kind of memory these vehicles help create.
