Transport

Want low cost, high quality transport?

We can provide groups from across the county with approved operators and vehicles at the best possible price..

The Sport, Outdoor Learning, Life Skills, Adventure and Risk Management Service supports Schools and Academies in broadening the learning opportunities their young people receive.

Our transport scheme, Why Nott? Transport, can help you to save time and money. As a result of the large number of bookings we make on behalf of schools, academies and community groups, coupled with the buying power of Nottingham City Council and our excellent relationship with local transport operators, we can source low cost quotes for any vehicle, from taxis and minibuses to double decker coaches. We can even do this on the same day you travel if there is an urgent need!

Why Nott? offers competitive transport quotations to groups from all over Nottinghamshire, all year round and for any trip – be it to Forest Fields or France – and is available online or via telephone. We can source anything from a taxi or minibus to a double decker coach and often can provide vehicles the same day as your request! Don’t forget, booking in advance gets the best possible rate and these on average are 10% cheaper than going direct.

Why Use Us?

Quality:

By using our services, organisations will have peace of mind that their transport is being provided by a reputable company and will also benefit from the excellent rates offered to us by our approved operators, all trusted companies working in the Greater Nottingham area. Before a company can submit a tender to provide transport through our scheme, they must first submit a Pre Qualification Questionnaire (P.Q.Q.) This is to ensure that they have all the necessary documentation, licences and insurances in place to legally provide the service. The P.Q.Q. also ensures that the company is financially viable, to safeguard any booking or contract placed with them. We also conduct quality control monitoring visits to ensure standards are maintained.

Price:

We source a minimum of 3 quotes to ensure best value and we send you the most competitive price.
Our prices are, on average, 10% cheaper than going direct to operators. This is achieved though the economies of scale that we receive and our relationship with operators.

Support:

We are here to help. If you are ringing/emailing around local operators for the cheapest quote and completing lots of paperwork for each journey, then try Why Nott? Transport as we will do this for you. Plus, if anything goes wrong with the journey, we will act as your advocate and handle any complaints for you.
