My friend and I lost a tyre on the very remote Birker Fell while travelling back from a long and demanding walk in the Lake District. We didn’t have a spare and my recovery service couldn’t get a vehicle up there. Instead, they contacted CMAC who managed to find a driver, Torres, from Getaway Travel, who was willing to attend and drive us both back to Preston. He arrived at 02:00 and got us back just after 04:00. Torres was absolutely lovely and we chatted away all the way back while my mate slept in the back. We were just so grateful that he was willing to come out at such an ungodly hour.

They go above and beyond. We have enjoyed several trips out now and cant recommend highly enough. Thank you, greenslades

Used gateway last year. Excellent all round service. Travelled to Manchester with return collection booking. Highly recommended

Absolutely brilliant service. Will always be number one for airport runs and private hire, 5 stars!!!

Great friendly service, pleased how easy it was with helpful drivers highly recommended

Me and 4 friends booked to be collected from a pub in Ulverston, Mark arrived right on time and took us through to barrow. He played all the music we liked we were laughing and singing the whole way home.

Would just like to congratulate Getaway Travel on their new online booking system. This new online way of booking is fabulous. It's so easy to use, and you receive the quote really quickly. I've just booked two journeys for my family, and I have been impressed with the professionalism and speed of response. Truly seamless. Well done. I will review the actual trip once that has taken place in May 2024. Thank you

Hi Anthony, Just a brief note to say thank you for your company’s excellent service yesterday. Your driver was excellent (please pass on our thanks), the coach was very comfortable, and it all contributed to a fantastic day out for the lads and parents alike. Best, Ali.

What a wonderful company, went the extra mile, cant recommend them highly enough, Robbie was a star.

Dear Anthony, I just wanted to say a big thank you for the coach travel last week. We loved the VIP coach ( it's the poshest coach we have ever been on) - and the driver was brilliant. We really enjoyed him telling us some interesting facts about London. Thanks Sarah

Hi John Oska looked after us really well yesterday and just wanted to say thank you. He was brilliant to deal with and the whole group had great fun with him. Thanks again and won't hesitate to recommend your company to anyone looking for coach hire.

As always an impeccable experience from booking to return. This is the second time we have used Marett's Chariots and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Anthony is a delight to deal with and Bruno, who drove us on this occasion was simply superb.

Went to mcarthur Glenn with this company bus was clean and tidy Ian m was very friendly would definitely recommend this company

Good afternoon Jackie, I recently hired one of your minibus (for Saturday 18th November) going from Sedgeford to the Thursford show. I would just like to say, on behalf of myself and the other passengers, a very big 'THANK YOU'. The driver Bruno, was on time, polite, courteous and extremely professional. We all commented on the cleanliness and presentation of the minibus (and trust me when I say we have been in some very ropey ones in the past!!) It was good to see that even in these economically difficult times, a company still remembering that good customer service costs nothing, even if petrol etc has gone sky high!! Please could you pass on our comments to your team, but especially to Bruno, who helped to make the evening really enjoyable with his wonderful banter and service. I have gone on to recommend your service to others and should I be in the area, would defiantly hire you again without hesitation. Thank you once again. Wishing you all a merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Yours sincerely Zena

Dear John We all had a fantastic time yesterday. To top it all off Oska drove us all safely to and from the venue. The coach was great and the driver was awesome. He is a real asset to your company. Danbury Parents Assoc - Albert Hall - 20/11/2023

Our driver Jason was very professional and his steady driving and friendly manner added to our great day. The minibus was clean and comfortable with Jason managing the temperature to keep us all comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use the company again. Thank you all.

The owner arranged our old girls group an entire day out, at our request, such a wonderful service and a great price. Will absolutely use you again in the future.

We booked this company to transport us to an event in Coventry. The coach was incredibly clean, comfortable and even had a Tv on board which the kids loved. The driver was was friendly & helpful, but most importantly he transported us all safely. I Would definitely recommend this company . Thank you!

We hired a coach to take the Contemporary Arts Society of Wales to take us from Cardiff to Bath for the day. The immaculate Mercedes coach arrived on time with Andrew at the wheel. He was a very skilled, helpful and courteous driver who looked after the party well. The arrangements were made by Nikki who was very kind and efficient. We all thought that Gwyn Jones coaches were a terrific company and would highly recommend them.

Just to say thank you so much for such fabulous service on our airport run last week. Steve was an absolute super star. So helpful and professional, we were all so pleased with how the pick up and drop off went.

Dear Paige and Jackie I had a very special and perfect day yesterday. Turbo very much contributed to that. I cannot praise him enough. He became very much part of then group which is how all my friends saw him and so much enjoyed his company but also his efficiency in his role as driver. Please pass on my thanks to Turbo and say I will get the group photo to him when I have sorted downloading from my phone to my computer.. Unless you have a WhatsApp I can send it to. My thanks to all at Marriott Chariots for their contribution to the day. I cannot not have chosen a better company. I hope this message is passed on to the owners of Marriott Chariots. It was a day that all friends will remember and treasure and Turbo will be very much part of those memories for us all Big Thanks

I just wanted to thank you for your exemplary service in providing a coach to take our wedding guests to the Bridal Barn last Saturday. Much fun was had by the guests on the coassh and , though anxious not having heard from you the day before.....a relief that the coach had arrived as planned....I missed my text message from the driver until after the event !!. Thanks for a great service at a great price!

We use this friendly and reliable coach company on a regular basis for our school trips! The drivers are so great with our young people and make the travel to and from our visits such great fun. Would highly recommend them for future trips - they are my go to for booking now!

Hi Anthony, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your help with the coaches on Monday. We had a great night out on the broads, made even better by the fantastic punctuality and service from your drivers. We apologise for the terrible singing on the return leg! Please pass our thanks on to the team. Many thanks, Rhia
