STADIUM TRANSPORT & MATCH-DAY SHUTTLES
Getting to a live match at Ellis Park, FNB Stadium, or Loftus Versfeld should be the best part of the day — not a two-hour parking ordeal. MiniBus Hire takes your group from door to turnstile and back, so everyone arrives relaxed and leaves safely.
The match-day problem we solve Major Gauteng stadiums draw tens of thousands of fans on match day. Traffic backs up kilometres from every entrance. Parking fills two hours before kickoff — and costs more than the ticket. After the final whistle, the congestion doubles. Booking a MiniBus Hire vehicle means your group leaves from one address, arrives together, and gets collected from the stadium exit when it suits you — not when the parking queue finally clears. |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do all bookings include a driver?
Yes — always. MiniBus Hire does not offer self-drive minibuses. Every vehicle is supplied with a professional, vetted driver as standard.
Can we book a return trip for a match at Ellis Park or FNB Stadium?
Yes. We offer a full charter service — pickup from your location before the match, and a return trip once the match is over. You choose the departure times; we adapt to your schedule, including late return journeys after post-match functions.
What is the minimum group size for stadium transport?
Our smallest vehicle seats 7 passengers, so the minimum practical group is 7. There is no minimum passenger count — if you need a 7-seater for a small group of friends or corporate clients, we can accommodate that.
Can we set up a recurring contract for the school sports season?
Absolutely. Many schools set up fixed-term contracts covering the full rugby, cricket, or hockey season. This simplifies admin, provides predictable costs for your finance team, and ensures the same experienced drivers for your team throughout the season.
Do you operate on weekends and public holidays?
Yes. School sports fixtures and major stadium events typically fall on Saturdays and public holidays. Early morning departures from 5am are handled as standard.
Are your vehicles licensed and insured for passenger transport?
Yes. All vehicles carry the required operating licences, public liability cover, and roadworthiness certification. Drivers hold professional driving permits (PrDP) as required by South African law. Documentation is available on request for school or corporate procurement.
