Hiring private small bus for Longitude Festival

Hi there

I was wondering if someone has heard of a private bus companies offering private bus rental for gigs. Thinking of hiring a bus for Longitude on Saturday.

Cheers

What do you mean by "private bus rental" - as in you provide the driver? Not sure any would go for that.

What are the details, where from? Dates/Times? How many people? and as posted with/without driver?

It would be for Saturday and Sunday, we would be around 6-8 people and the bus driver will pick us in one location and collect us back once the gig is finished. I was last year, and I was almost 2 hours waiting for a bus. Two weeks ago, just the same after Arcade Fire so we don't want us to happen the same this year.

But where is the pickup? Dublin? Cork? Kerry? Tallaght? Finglas?

Loads of companies about, try Dublin Mini Coaches, based in Bluebell but cover whole city. Otherwise try Liam's Bus Hire or Bonanza Bus.

Pick up the yellow pages, look up coach hire and ask them for prices. Don't expect it to be cheap and be prepared for a long wait to a pick up point though as traffic after the event will be cack.

If I were you, I'd either go up on the 14/16 bus and taxi it home afterwards or avail of the on the day shuttle service.
