Going Green
RDH Coaches is committed to a cleaner and greener environment. Our drivers have all recently received training in fuel efficient driving to try and reduce our carbon footprint.
We take an active interest in local transport issues and work alongside various local groups and councils to ensure passenger transport remains a priority and is a safe and environmentally friendly alternative for the whole community.
Coach travel not only represents a cost efficient form of transport, it is also one of the most carbon efficient methods of mass transporting people. With organisations now setting themselves tough environmental targets, choosing coach travel has the potential to make a massive impact on an organisation’s carbon footprint.
All our vehicles comply with emissions legislation and are maintained to the very highest standards by our sister company RDH Commercials Ltd.
CO2 Emissions
The coach generates 1/6 of the carbon dioxide emissions of air travel, 1/2 of rail and nearly 1/4 of car.

What you say...
Just wanted to say thank for yesterday and being so flexible with us. They day went just as planned and Colin was great as well. Next time we need a coach, we’ll come to you first. Thanks again for all your help.

The drivers were great, it’s not easy driving to some of the sites and they took it in their stride! Thanks!
