It has been so long since we’ve had a proper family holiday now – and we are determined to get one in before the end of the year – whether it is in the UK or somewhere in Europe – further afield if we can afford it. Something that we have been discussing for quite some time now is the possibility of going on holiday with more than just the four of us. We’ve discussed it with friends who have children similar in age to Jack and also talked about going on holiday with some of our family. Steve’s cousin actually has a villa in Spain and his sister lives in Tenerife so these are two such places we’d consider going as a large family group.
The problem is getting to our locations on holiday. Whether we holiday in the UK or Europe, it would mean plenty of vehicles with people and luggage – which equals to a lot of fuel and quite a bit of parking if we choose to go abroad. Something we have actually considered in the past is hiring a coach or minibus to transport us all, including luggage, to where we need to be. Of course, holidaying in Europe means a lengthy drive but with plenty of drivers in the group, that needn’t be a problem.
Enter SMC Coach Hire. They are a team who have over 30 years of experience working in the transportation industry and are now one of the leading suppliers in the UK. They offer standard minibuses, executive and luxury minibuses, executive and luxury coaches and accessible vehicles, catered to group sizes from a handful to 75. They really do cover all bases – you can hire them for a theme park day out, a day trip, a sports trip or a weekend trip. European tours, UK tours, airport hire? They do it! You can even hire them for stag and hen dos, weddings or corporate events. This is definitely handy for the days out we go on – we often find ourselves having to take a couple of different cars.
They even offer discounted tickets to all Merlin attractions which is handy for people who love Merlin attractions as much as we do!
With us looking to book a holiday sooner rather than later – and with the potential of there being more than the four of us – it makes sense to look into the services we may require. I’m so ready for my new adventure – I love travelling but don’t get to do it too often. Steve loves travelling too and I do sometimes regret we haven’t done more travelling whilst the kids are little. I’m keen to get more adventures in with my family and friends and maybe this will be the start. I’ve already got an extensive list of places I want to visit and holiday in, both in the UK, in Europe and further afield.
For now, I am still in the deciding stage of where to head to on holiday – once that’s decided, I’ll need to make transport arrangements and SMC Coach Hire may just be my first port of call. Have you had a holiday or been travelling this year? Where are you keen on heading to next time you go away?

I don’t think I’ve had a driving Europe holiday before because we don’t have many drivers in our family. The coach hire company sounds like a great idea x
Sounds like a great way to travel with extended family or friends! We love our travels and have had some great ones driving through the Netherlands or through Spain and Portugal that this could work on.
I totally understand having the difficulty in traveling especially if you have a big family. The idea of renting a minibus is such a great idea as its more convenient than traveling with 2 cars.
That’s interesting. I’d never considered hiring a coach before- we usually just use multiple cars.
With six of us that is such a good idea! We struggle with travel as it’s either drive or cost us the earth!
I am terrified of driving abroad and as a larger family this would really work for us
I think hiring a mini bus is a great idea!! Imagine the travelling you could do!
