Inverness Airport (INV) sits about 13 km from the city centre, so most groups flying into the Highlands need a reliable way to cover that last stretch together. Global Bus Hire arranges private minibuses and coaches with professional drivers, so your whole party travels as one, with luggage, on a schedule built around your flights.
Not every journey starts at the terminal. We also plan transfers linking Inverness railway station, Inverness Bus Station and Nigg pier with hotels, venues and onward connections, sized to your group from 8 seats up to 70.

How Our Inverness Airport Transfers Work
Every transfer is private to your group. You tell us the arrival or departure details, passenger numbers and how much luggage you are bringing, and we put together a tailored quote for a vehicle and driver that fit the job. There is no shared shuttle and no waiting for other passengers.
Airport transfers in Inverness tend to involve more than a single run. A conference group might land at INV on one flight, collect colleagues from Inverness railway station, then head out again on departure day. We can plan all of these legs as one booking, so the timings and pick-up points are agreed in advance.
Booking follows four simple steps: share your requirements, get a tailored quote, confirm and schedule, then relax and ride in comfort. You can contact us through the website or on WhatsApp to get started.
Vehicles for Every Group Size
Our fleet runs from an 8 seater minibus for small families or executive teams through 16 seater minibuses, a 25 seater midi coach and 29 and 33 seater coaches, up to full-size 49, 57 and 70 seater coaches. Double deckers are also available for larger events.
Luggage is often the deciding factor on airport runs. Skis, golf bags or bulky cases can mean a larger vehicle than the headcount alone suggests, so let us know what you are carrying and we will recommend the right option when we quote.
Use the table below to match your group to a vehicle. If you are unsure, or have a lot of luggage, ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your transfer.
| Vehicle | Seats |
|---|---|
| 8 seater minibus | 8 |
| 16 seater minibus | 16 |
| 25 seater midi coach | 25 |
| 29 seater coach | 29 |
| 33 seater coach | 33 |
| 49 seater coach | 49 |
| 57 seater coach | 57 |
| 70 seater coach | 70 |
| Double decker | Ask for details |
