If you are someone who is interested in live music, you are sure to know that the UK is home to some of the world’s top festivals. There’s everything from Glastonbury and British Summer Time, to smaller and more niche festivals dotted around the country. Simply, there is something for everyone.
Attending a festival is exciting, but we can all agree that planning your transport from A to B can be stressful. Though some festivals are easy to get to on public transport, many are not. Though driving to festivals is an option for a lot of people, being the designated driver and paying for parking is a major downside. Many people buy a festival ticket, only to later realise that the pracitcitalies of getting there and back aren’t quite as straightforward as they initially assumed. Luckily, festival coach hire is always an option.
The Benefits of Festival Coach Hire
You only have to think about festival coach hire for a minute or two before you’ll realise just how many benefits there are. A lot of people make the mistake of assuming the only benefit is convenience, but this isn’t the case. Hiring a coach as festival transport is cost effective, stress free and spacious. Plus, it’s an easy way to get everything there, without having to worry about how big your cat boot is.
It’s a Cost Effective Travel Option - If you have been to a festival before, you will know how costly the experience can be. Not only are festival tickets expensive - this tends to be the case regardless of how long the event is, whether it’s a one day festival or a festival that spans over a long weekend - but you also need to think about food, drinks and merchandise. This is why a lot of people opt to travel there and back by coach, as it can be a cheaper option if you are going as a large group. Instead of everyone paying the individual price of a train ticket, or for petrol and parking, you can split the cost of coach hire. Often, it will save your group money.
Everyone Can Travel Together - A lot of people choose to drive to a festival, or they split up and book a number of different taxis. However, this means that everyone cannot travel together. At most, you could travel in groups of four and five. Though this is suitable if you are going to a festival with a handful of friends, it becomes less practical if there are a lot of you. When you book a coach to take you to and from a festival, everyone can stay together and enjoy the experience as a group. You’ll all arrive at the same time, and you won’t find yourself waiting for another group to arrive late.
There’s Plenty of Space for Luggage - If you are going to a festival that lasts a few days, you are probably planning to camp. After all, that’s half the fun of a festival for a lot of people. This means taking a lot of things with you such as tents, sleeping bags, clothes, wellies, backpacks, food and drinks. The more people you have, the more things you will need to bring. Taking all of this on public transport or trying to cram everything into a car isn’t always easy, but there is plenty of space in a coach. When you book festival coach hire, you can relax knowing that everything will fit securely. There’s even more room for stretching your legs, making the entire journey a comfortable one.
You Don’t Need a Designated Driver - There is no denying the importance of not drinking and driving but this does mean that, unless the festival is conveniently located along a public transport route, you will need a designated driver. Not only are you likely to struggle to find someone who wants to go without drinking at a festival, the event is likely to be less enjoyable for them. Let’s face it, there’s nothing fun about being sober when everyone else is letting loose. With festival coach hire, everyone can enjoy the day without having to worry about who is driving home.
Fewer Things For You to Plan - There’s a lot to think about when you are planning a festival trip, such as how you will get there and what time you should leave. When you opt to travel by coach, you will have one less thing to worry about. You won’t find yourself worrying about knowing when to leave and getting there on time, nor will you need to navigate travelling home at the end of a long day. You can hand everything over to Coach Hire Direct, knowing that everything will be taken care of for you. This means you can sit back, relax and enjoy some live music with your friends. You don’t need to worry about traffic, diversions or delays.
