Bus Hire Cost and Recommendations

    We were getting ready to print our invites and thought maybe we should put info about available transport in there.
    Is this normally done?

    My OH thinks we should provide a transport service after the wedding which should take ppl to their respective accommodation outside of our hotel. Our hotel is not cheap to stay in and it's too small anyway for the number of guests, so we think there will be plenty who'll need a way to get elsewhere. It's also not that central, so getting taxi's might be pricey.
    We thought we could arrange a mini bus for 2am and 3am for about 50 people or so. We'll be having about 130 at our wedding I think. Does that sound reasonable?
    Also, what would this normally cost? It's out of social hours but it should only be around the vicinity and we don't need busses to get people there as the civil ceremony is on the grounds.
    Any recommendations for the Mayo/Ballina area would also be appreciated.

    you could try corduff travel or barretts or mcnulty coaches, they all have loads of different sized buses but i've no idea of the cost involved. you could try taxi companies in ballina, some of them might also have a minibus?

    got quoted approximately 150-200 for couple of runs on a mini-bus of 16-25 seater between 1 and 3am.
    Is that reasonable?

    That's about right, even a bit low I would have thought. Suggest contact guests to see what they're doing and gauge numbers.

    Ring Ray at Arrow cabs he has small minibuses. Also John Rush is located in Quay Area of Ballina if your venue is the Icehouse he is based just across the road from it.

    ring your local taxi company and price around, we got a minibus to take people home for €50*,

    *depends on distance though.
