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.

I am writing to thank you on behalf of our group for the most wonderful service we have received from yourselves and the company. Everything went according to plan seamlessly, the driver was brilliant with our members – courteous and nothing too much trouble.
As it was my first attempt as Events Co-ordinator I send my personal thanks, as my life was made so much easier with your efficient service. Look forward to speaking again!

Just to let you know Mark was an exemplary driver and we had a wonderful day at the Watts Gallery. Mark arrived in very good time in the morning and was friendly and helpful throughout our time with him. We had no complaints whatsoever and our audience is discerning one!
