Default Airport taxi to Gatwick

Hello !

I am going on a stag weekend on 1st Oct. We are flying from Gatwick, and most people live in the Bracknell area.

Does anyone know of any Bracknell or Gatwick-based minibuses that we could use for transport that are reaonable priced ? There are 16 of us.

Question

You might find that 16 is rather too many for a minibus, but I'd suggest the following:

Yellow Pages.
Bracknell local paper small ads.
Bracknell area taxi companies.

Find out who has the local school/s bus contract as they will have a range of smaller coaches and if you are going out of school hours then they give you a reasonable deal.

We are going to Prague for a weekend - Fri - Mon. Flights are 116 quid, accomodation (2 apartments) are 16quid per person per night. Rest is beer money, plus 50 quid for karting, paintball and something else that i cant remember.

If you are going abroad, dont assume that Ryanair, Easyjet will be cheaper. In my case BA from Heathrow was cheaper (plus you get food, drink and allocated seats) but nobody bothered to ask me if i could help with the flights.

Alternatively if you are going in the UK, then I went to Leeds and Newcastle over 3 days, and used a 16 berth crew coach (www.sleepercoach.com) which was 80 quid per person for the whole weekend. I would recommend the coach as it was wicked !!!

I'd take you, but 16 people probably won't fit in the car.
Why can't the beer taxi take you, now you're married she's taking liberties?

The crew bus was great, well worht the money. We wgot on it a t 2am in Newcastle and woke up at 9ish the following morning a few miles from home.
