Private Hire

How Do I Get a Quote for Private Coach Hire?

Fill in our quote form, call us on 0113 871 5327 or email info@leaptravel.co.uk. Tell us the date, where you’re being picked up, where you’re going, the return time and how many are travelling.

How Many Passengers Can You Carry?

Our executive coaches seat 48, 55 and 57 passengers, and our belted double-decker bus seats 80. For bigger groups we can send more than one vehicle.

Which Areas Do You Cover?

We pick up anywhere in North and West Yorkshire, including Leeds, York, Wakefield, Selby, Castleford, Wetherby and Harrogate. See all the areas we cover.

How Much Does Coach Hire Cost?

It depends mainly on how far you’re going, how long you need the coach and the size of vehicle. Your quote covers the whole time the coach and driver are with you, including waiting time. Our coach hire prices guide explains what affects the cost.

Can You Pick Up from More Than One Address?

Yes. Give us all the pick-up points and we’ll plan the route, so nobody has to make their own way to a meeting point.

Do You Do Stag and Hen Parties?

Yes. We take stag and hen groups to nights out, race days and venues across Yorkshire and beyond, with door-to-door pick-ups. See stag & hen party coach hire.

Can You Take Our Group Abroad?

Yes, we run international trips for groups. See international coach trips for how we plan them, then send us your dates and destination.

Do You Offer Contract Work and Regular Runs?

Yes. We run staff shuttle buses, home-to-school routes and event shuttles. Our 80-seat double-decker is fully belted and PSVAR compliant.

Day Trips

How Do I Book a Day Trip?

Book online any time on our day trips page, call us on 0113 871 5327, or book in person at White Rose Travel. Seats are limited and popular trips sell out, so book early.

Where Are the Pick-Up Points?

Our day trips run on five pick-up routes across Leeds, Castleford, Selby and Wakefield. Each trip shows which route it uses, and our pick-up points page shows every stop on a map.

Which Way Round Does the Coach Go?

Our pick-up routes run in both directions, depending on where the trip is going. That means the order of the stops, and the time at each one, can change from trip to trip, so always check the departure time shown online with your trip.

Where Can I Find the Departure and Return Times?

Departure and return times are shown online with each trip on our day trips page.

Can You Add an Extra Pick-Up Stop for Our Group?

For larger groups we’re happy to arrange extra pick-up stops on request. Call us on 0113 871 5327 to talk it through.

What Time Should I Arrive at My Pick-Up Point?

Please be at your pick-up point at least 10 minutes before the departure time. We stick to the timetable so the trip runs smoothly for everyone.

Where Are We Dropped off at the End of the Day?

We drop off along the same route and stops as the pick-up, unless the trip says otherwise.

Can I Pay in Cash?

Yes. You can book and pay in cash in person at White Rose Travel before the day of travel. We don’t take cash on the coach.

Which Payment Methods Do You Accept?

All major debit and credit cards online and over the phone, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Can I Get a Refund or Change My Booking?

To keep prices low, we don’t offer refunds or changes once a booking is confirmed. If you can’t go, you’re welcome to give or sell your ticket to someone else, as long as they travel under the original booking name.

What Happens If Leap Travel Cancels a Trip?

In the unlikely event that we cancel, you’ll get a full refund or can move your booking to another date.

Do You Sell Gift Vouchers?

Yes. Day trip gift cards make a great present, or contact us and we’ll help.

Do You Offer Group Discounts on Day Trips?

Yes. Contact us to talk about group bookings and prices.

Are Seats Reserved?

Seats aren’t usually allocated. If a trip is fully booked we may allocate seats so groups can sit together. We also try not to fill the coach completely, so you have a bit of extra space.

Can I Reserve a Front Seat?

We can’t guarantee front seats because so many people ask for them. If you ask in advance we can sometimes seat you near the front.

Do You Stop on the Way?

We don’t usually stop on the way, so you get more time at the destination. On very long journeys, where the driver must legally take a break, there’s a scheduled 20-minute stop.

Can I Bring Food and Drink?

You’re welcome to bring cold snacks and drinks. Please don’t bring hot food or alcohol, and take your rubbish with you.

Can I Leave My Things on the Coach During the Day?

Yes. The coach is locked when it’s left, but we recommend you don’t leave valuables behind.

Can I Bring Luggage or a Pram?

Small bags and day-trip essentials are fine. Folding prams and buggies are usually fine too, but space is limited, so let us know in advance. Check with us first for anything bulky or heavy.
