For minibus hire in Torquay, it's advisable to book as early as possible to ensure availability, especially during peak seasons. Torquay, known as the 'English Riviera', attracts many visitors during summer months and for events like the Torbay Royal Regatta or the Agatha Christie Festival. We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance for these busy periods. However, for off-peak times or smaller group travel, 2-3 weeks' notice is often sufficient. Last-minute bookings can sometimes be accommodated, but early reservation guarantees a wider choice of vehicles and often more competitive rates. If you're planning travel for bank holidays or school half-terms, it's wise to book even earlier. By securing your minibus hire well in advance, you'll have peace of mind and can focus on planning the other aspects of your Torquay trip, whether it's a seaside holiday, a business event, or a special occasion.
