Early bookings for Chalkwell

Chalkwell Coaches of Sittingbourne has noticed this year that coach hire bookings are coming in earlier than usual. The operator has found schools and groups are booking their coach trips for as far ahead as July 2017. Chalkwell Coach Hire and Tours Specialist, Jenny Barham, said, ‘I think there is now a stronger realisation than ever amongst customers that only by booking early will they get the size of coach, and the number of coaches, they require for their days out. No organiser of a day out wants to be disappointed and with a growth in demand for coach hire I believe early bookings will certainly become the norm. Junior and primary schools in particular are anxious not to let children down when demand for private hire is high and they appreciate it is now becoming a case of first come first served. If a school or group wants two or three coaches for a day out to the seaside, wild life parks or castles they realise it is no good leaving the booking to the last minute when there is less chance of availability.’
