 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Booked 2 mini buses for my daughters wedding on Saturday, what a joy the 2 drivers were, so accommodating, very friendly, arrived early, took us from Fulwell to South Shields Town hall, patiently waited while service and photos took place then dropped us all off at the venue back in Sunderland via the seafront. I would highly recommend, and thank you lads 🤗

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Booked for a return journey to Newcastle Airport for 15 passengers and cases.  Arrived promptly, driver Jamie was very helpful and got us there with plenty of time to spare.  Rang Jamie upon return to Newcastle Airport and he arrived just as we came out of the airport.  He even did 2 further drop offs at peoples houses, which was beyond our expectations.  Will definitely use this company again.  Price was the best available and service was first class.  I would certainly recommend this company.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Easily booked through the website for an airport transfer, turned up on time and the minibus was very clean and tidy. Far cheaper than booking the parking fees. Would definitely recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5/5 Stars – Outstanding Service for Our Stag Do!
We booked D&G Minibus Hire for our stag do trip last Friday, and they were brilliant from start to finish.
Punctual & Reliable: The minibus arrived nice and early for pick-up giving us plenty of time to load up before we set off.
Smooth Experience: The vehicle was spotless, modern, and spacious enough to comfortably fit the whole group along with a trailer for  all our luggage.
Our driver was exceptionally professional, patient, and friendly, handling our energetic group with ease and ensuring a safe, smooth journey to and from the destination. Even being accommodating when we requested an earlier pick for our return journey.
I couldn't recommend D&G Minibus Hire enough for any group events or stag weekends. We will definitely be using them again! Thanks again David from  Martin and the rest of the Randal stag group 👍

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service from start to finish. Quick reply to initial query. Very competitive rate. Communication from driver was excellent for both journeys to and from airport, letting us know about delays on roads due to an accident to ensure we were at airport on time, on return a quick call to the driver and we were picked up within 5 minutes. Highly recommended. Thanks for a brilliant reliable service provided.
