We run pre-booked minibus hire with a driver for group airport transfers to Stansted, Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton, with Geoff driving the eight-seater door to door. Booking weeks ahead means the trip is sorted long before you need to leave, which matters most on the small-hours starts.
A 6am flight out of Stansted doesn’t mean setting an alarm for 5am. It means a pickup around half two in the morning, sometimes earlier if there’s fen fog about. That’s easier to plan for when it’s already in the diary rather than hoped for on the day.
We’re G and M Taxis, a husband and wife firm serving Downham Market for twelve years. Airport runs are one of the jobs we get booked for weeks out. You get us, not a call centre. That’s the difference between this and hoping an app turns something up in the morning. Your slot is fixed, and Geoff knows the route.
Villages like Stoke Ferry and Denver have no direct public transport out to any of those airports. A pre-booked group airport transfer covers the whole route, not just the last stretch into Downham Market.
Minibus hire with a driver in Downham Market books Geoff and the eight-seater for a set block of time, rather than one point-to-point run. That could be a few hours around a wedding, an evening out with a few stops planned, or a full day out for a group. You tell us what you have in mind when you call, and we’ll make sure it fits within the council’s taxi licensing conditions.
The eight-seater covers a good few of the jobs we do. Group trips that suit this kind of hire include:
One eight-seater, one driver in Geoff, booked directly with Geoff and Melissa. If you need the minibus for a block of time rather than a single run, get in touch and we’ll talk it through.

Eight people heading the same way usually means two cars, which means two drivers and someone left working out who owes what for fuel afterwards. Our 8 seater minibus hire puts everyone in one vehicle. Geoff drives, and there’s one fare for the whole group rather than splitting it across two cars. We stay at eight seats rather than anything bigger, which keeps the minibus within what Geoff’s public service vehicle taxi licence covers; a vehicle carrying nine or more passengers for hire needs a separate operator’s licence.
It’s the same minibus hire with a driver we use for hen and stag trips, wedding guest runs and group airport work, one branded eight-seater rather than a fleet. If you’ve got a date in mind, a family outing in West Norfolk or a night out in King’s Lynn, it’s worth getting it in the diary early.

Wedding guest transport moves guests between the church, the register office, the reception and their hotel, all pre-booked and agreed well ahead of the day. This is separate from the couple’s own wedding car. It’s about getting a group of people from one place to the next with no fuss, and making sure no one is left standing around waiting for a lift.
Wedding guest transport is a minibus hire with a driver: usually one or two set trips, agreed in the diary early on, with the timings coming from you. We do a lot of this work for Downham Market weddings, covering places like Stoke Ferry and Denver. Our eight-seater minibus hire handles most smaller wedding parties fine, saving you needing two cars.
We’ve noticed couples sometimes leave this part too late. Try to sort it before you send out the invites, if you can.

A hen party or stag do rarely stays in one place. There’s usually a meet-up at someone’s house in Downham Market, then maybe a stop for food, before the night moves on to wherever it’s heading. Hen party minibus hire and stag do minibus hire both work the same way: we plan a route with several stops, all agreed with you beforehand, not worked out once we’re already on the road. Small, local and family-run, that’s us.
This is a whole evening mapped out in advance with minibus hire with a driver, so it’s worth getting your dates and stops in the diary weeks ahead.
Geoff drives the eight-seater for the whole trip, so the group stays together from start to finish. Get in touch early with your dates and all your stops, since weekends fill up pretty fast once someone’s set a date.

A group airport transfer is a minibus hire with a driver for when your party is spread across a few addresses but all catching the same flight. Say a wedding party or a work group is flying from Stansted, with two picked up in Downham Market, two out at Wereham and the rest in Denver. Geoff works out a route that picks everyone up in turn, so nobody has to arrange their own lift to a meeting point first.
This takes more planning than a single pickup, which is the part people underestimate. We need addresses and rough timings early, so the order of pickups works out and everyone still gets to the airport with time to spare. It’s worth calling well ahead for this, not the week before.
Once the pickup order’s set and it’s in the diary, that’s sorted.

Event shuttle service is a minibus hire with a driver for organisers, not individual travellers. It’s built around set pickups and drop-offs that match your timings, rather than one open-ended booking. Say you’re running an evening do at a village hall near Denver, with half your guests staying at a hotel in Downham Market. The point is moving people in and out of one occasion, at the times you tell us.
We’ll go through the timings with you before the day, so nobody’s left standing outside in the cold waiting on a lift that isn’t coming. It’s a diary entry with a few timed stops, and we’re used to fitting round a schedule that isn’t ours.

Our usual patch is Downham Market and the villages, places like Wereham and Denver, within about ten miles of Wimbotsham. The same minibus hire with a driver covers longer trips too, when a group needs it to.
That might be a day out to the Norfolk coast, a family trip to Cambridge, or a run up to Addenbrooke’s for an appointment with a few of you travelling together. It’s the same vehicle and Geoff is still the driver, covering a longer route.
Long distance minibus hire covers group trips beyond Norfolk, whatever the reason for it. One driver for the whole trip means no swapping between two cars and no working out who follows who on unfamiliar roads, which helps when you’re all meant to end up in the same place.
It’s worth planning ahead for this one. We’re a two-person operation, Geoff driving and Melissa on the bookings, so a longer trip needs a slot in the diary rather than a same-day call. Get in touch with your dates early and we’ll work out timing and pickups.

Train station minibus transfers work to the timetable rather than a flight time, covering Downham Market station or King’s Lynn, whichever end of the trip you need. It’s one group, one pickup point, and we get you there with time to spare, or we’re waiting on the platform when you step off with your bags.
Stations get busy around big local weekends, when a group of eight arriving together, or heading back to catch a train, is much simpler in the eight-seater than splitting into two or three taxis. If you know your dates, get it in the diary early rather than leaving it to the week before.
This is the same minibus hire with a driver service we use for airport runs, just timed to a train instead of a flight. We can pick you up or drop you off, whether you’re a family coming home after a weekend away or a group setting off to catch a train, with everyone and the luggage in one vehicle.

Not every party is a wedding or a hen do. A 60th birthday at a pub in Downham Market, a big anniversary meal, or a christening with family coming in from Hilgay and Wereham, all suit the same minibus hire with a driver: the eight-seater, with Geoff behind the wheel. You tell us the plan, and we work out the pickups and drop-offs around it.
Most of these bookings are straightforward. Out to the venue and home again at the end, with no ceremony timetable to build around. We run one eight-seater, not a fleet, so it’s worth getting your date in the diary early. We accept cash or cards on the day.

The questions we get asked most about wedding cars and event transport in Downham Market
For flights, the airport minibus transfer is one private group and one fixed pickup time.
