Group Travel Trends for Summer 2025: Benefits of Coach Hire

Get Quote

As the travel industry continues to rebound and evolve, summer 2025 is shaping up to be a big season for group travel. Whether it’s families reuniting, corporate teams bonding, or friends chasing summer adventures, the demand for efficient, affordable, and comfortable group transport is on the rise. At 247 Coach Hire, we’ve been keeping an eye on the latest travel trends, and we’re seeing some exciting shifts that make coach hire an even more attractive option for group journeys.

1. Sustainable Travel Choices

Eco-conscious travel is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a priority. In 2025, more travellers are choosing group transport options like coaches to reduce their carbon footprint. Hiring a coach can significantly lower emissions per person compared to taking multiple cars or flights. Our modern fleet at 247 Coach Hire includes fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles that align with greener travel goals.

2. Rising Costs of Individual Transport

With fuel prices remaining volatile and train fares expected to increase over the summer, hiring a coach for group travel is a cost-effective alternative. Instead of coordinating multiple vehicles, tolls, and parking fees, coach hire offers a single, consolidated cost that covers everything from pick-up to drop-off.

3. The Convenience Factor

Group travel logistics can be stressful. With coach hire, everything is streamlined. You get a dedicated driver, flexible scheduling, and door-to-door service. This convenience makes it easier to plan day trips, tours, or long-distance journeys without the hassle of navigation, parking, or splitting up the group.

4. Comfort and Connectivity

Today’s travellers expect more from transport than just a ride. Our coaches are equipped with reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard Wi-Fi, USB charging ports, and entertainment systems—ensuring your group stays connected and comfortable throughout the journey.

5. Customised Travel Experiences

In 2025, people want more than standard trips; they want personalised experiences. Coach hire allows for tailored itineraries, scheduled stops, and the flexibility to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations. At 247 Coach Hire, we work with you to design a travel plan that suits your group’s specific needs.

6. Ideal for a Range of Group Types

Sports teams travelling to matches

Festival-goers heading to summer events

Family reunions are looking for shared experiences
