How many people does a minibus with a driver take?

The seats and bags are shown on each offer on this page. Choose by those numbers and keep in mind that large luggage uses space that people could otherwise use.

How much is a minibus with a driver in Sharm El Sheikh?

The lowest airport transfer price for the minibus class is shown on this page. It is per vehicle with the driver, so a group divides it between everyone.

Is a minibus better than several taxis for a group?

It keeps the group together and gives you one price and one arrival time. Street taxis have no meter and fares are negotiated each time, so it is harder to coordinate several cars.

Can a minibus have child seats?

Cars marked Child seat on request have one available. Choose such an offer and write the child’s age in the request.

Can I book a minibus for a group excursion?

Yes. Describe the places and times in the request and see the excursions page for distances. Entry tickets and activities are paid separately at the sites.

What if our group is bigger than any minibus shown?

Send a request describing the group. The company confirms whether it can propose two vehicles, and the booking step shows what each price includes.

When a minibus makes sense

Think of a minibus from about eight people upwards: a large family, two families travelling together, a group of friends, a diving club, a wedding party or a team. Splitting such a group over three or four taxis means different drivers, different arrival times and a lot of phone calls. A single minibus keeps everyone together from the airport to the hotel and on the way back. For five to seven people a minivan is usually enough, and the minivan page shows that class. Always compare the real numbers on the offers rather than relying on the class name.

Seats, luggage and equipment

Each minibus offer shows its seats and bags. Compare them with your group: count every passenger including children and infants, and every suitcase, plus hand luggage, prams and equipment. Seats and luggage space compete in a minibus, so a vehicle full of people can have limited room for bags. Tell the company about large items such as dive bags, golf bags or musical instruments. The price is per vehicle with the driver, not per person, so the cost divides between all of you; the booking step shows exactly what the price includes. The company confirms the exact vehicle after your request.

Group transfers from the airport

For a group arriving together, one minibus is simpler to coordinate than several taxis at the arrivals hall. As rounded road estimates without traffic, the airport is about 11 to 14 km and 15 to 20 minutes from Naama Bay, about 8 km from Nabq Bay, about 11 km from Sharks Bay and about 20 km from the Old Market. If the group arrives on separate flights, say so, because the pick-up time depends on who lands last. Add a flight number on the booking step. Ordinary street taxis do not give you a fixed price for a whole group in advance, so agree the vehicle before you travel.

Day trips, stops and what to send

A minibus also works for a group excursion or a day with several stops. In the request give the date, pick-up address, number of adults and children, bags and equipment, the places you want and the time you need to be back. If a child needs a seat, write the age and choose an offer marked Child seat on request. For Dahab, Ras Mohammed, Mount Sinai or Cairo, see the excursions page: distances are 90 to 95 km, 20 to 30 km to the park gate, about 205 km and about 500 km, and everyone must carry a passport for roadside checks. Cairo needs a full visa for everyone in the group.

Organising a large group

Name one contact person who sends the request and keeps the final headcount. Share the pick-up time and meeting point with everyone, and ask people to keep ID and passport within reach on longer trips. If the group is made of several families, collect luggage numbers from each so the total is clear before you send the request. Mention any passenger who needs extra help getting in and out, and ask about air conditioning in summer. Small details agreed in advance save time at the pick-up.

When to ask for more than one vehicle

If your group is larger than the biggest minibus shown, or if the luggage fills the vehicle before the seats are full, describe the group in a request and ask what the company can propose, which may be two vehicles. Do not assume that several vehicles will be available at the same time or the same price: the company confirms it. For a mixed group, for example ten adults and a few children, one minibus and a separate minivan can also be an option.
