Whilst we can often accommodate last-minute requests, it's advisable to book your minibus hire in Atherton well in advance. This is particularly important during busy periods such as school holidays, local events like the Atherton Carnival, or popular weekends. By booking early, you'll have access to a wider range of minibus options, including our luxury and accessible vehicles. For large group bookings or specific requirements, we recommend securing your minibus at least 4-6 weeks ahead.
