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...
I just wanted to send a big thank you to the driver of the wedding bus. I gather he was a complete star. Everyone has commented how nice he was and his flexibility was invaluable.
If I (or any friends) ever need any transport again – you’ll always be our first contact.

Both Colin and Richard were very helpful indeed and seemed to enjoy the week as well as rising to the challenge of driving in some pretty awful weather!
