There's nothing more simple than driving down to the coast for the day, right? Unless you have to think about getting everyone to one location and then thinking about how they'll all get home. Kinghorn is great for those who want a day at the beach or on the walking paths and having a minibus available will allow those who are travelling together to travel to and from with ease.
Minibus Hire Edinburgh offers minibuses with drivers ranging from 8 to 18 seats. We also offer our coach hire service which we use for many coastal trips, airport shuttles, weddings, school trips and more.
Kinghorn falls under the main post code of KY3 but this can vary depending on what you require so please ensure you add your postcode when enquiring about a minibus.
The local station in Kinghorn is located at Station Brae, KY3 9RA. The Kinghorn Train station can be used for collection of passengers who are arriving at Kinghorn by train. As there is no car park available at the station there is an area that you can pick up and drop off passengers at.
If you require a trip from Kinghorn Primary school you can collect passengers from their location which is on Baliol Street, KY3 9UD. You should let the coordinator know where you will collect from. If your minibus trip starts in Kinghorn you can collect your passengers from any of these areas or nearby residential streets if there is room to stop your vehicle.

As mentioned above Kinghorn is known for its coastline. There is plenty to see and do along the beach and Kinghorn loch which is close to the sea but out in the countryside.
You can catch a bus to Kinghorn beach which is located near the harbour. Or you can drive to Pettycur bay which is another lovely stretch of beach to enjoy a nice day out at the seaside.
There is also the famous black rock 5 which is a coastal run held in Kinghorn. If you're looking to hire a minibus for a group trip to the Black Rock 5 we would advise choosing a collection point that isn't near main roads to avoid traffic build-up during the race.
There are many things you can do within the area and surrounding villages. So if you're planning on travelling around we can arrange collection points that are convenient to each other.
As stated before Edinburgh airport is the closest airport to Kinghorn if your group requires an airport shuttle then you can use our minibus hire service. Minibus Hire Edinburgh can supply airport transfers for many trips and can accommodate return journeys if you wish to come back to Kinghorn.
We can travel further afield to Glasgow Airport and surrounding areas so if you're looking to travel there please don't hesitate to contact us. Keep in mind there are many routes you can take to get there so always consider the amount of time your journey may take when booking your transfer.
