Step 1: Define Your Group Holiday Vision

Every great group adventure holiday starts with a clear idea. Are you dreaming of group ski trips to the Alps, group trips UK-style through the countryside, or a sun-soaked group tour holiday in Spain? Gather your crew, whether it’s six friends, seven family members, or nine adventurers and decide on the following:

Destination: Pick a spot that suits the group. Group ski holidays might mean Chamonix, while group adventure trips could lead you to the Lake District.

Planning on staying in the UK? See our blog posts on UK holiday planning here:

Dates: Find a window that works for most (use tools like Doodle for polling availability if this is a professional get-away). 

You can use group chat features in applications such as WhatsApp, if you just need a casual way to organise group communication.

Budget: Aim for cheap group holidays or low cost group holidays without skimping on fun.

Pro Tip: Larger groups can unlock group trip deals. Look for bulk discounts on accommodations or activities and keep reading to see how van hire saves you even more!

Step 2: Assign Roles & Plan Collaboratively

Organising group family holidays or group adventure holidays solo is a recipe for burnout. Delegate tasks like:

Accommodation Scout: Finds options for your group holiday size.

Activity Planner: Examples: Research ski passes for group ski trips or hiking trails for group trips UK.

Transport Guru: Books a 6 seater van hire, 7 seater van hire, or 9 seater van hire to save on travel costs and take care of logistics, (more on this later!).

Step 3: Book Accommodation & Activities

For group holidays, size matters. A villa or chalet often beats multiple hotel rooms for cost and camaraderie. Websites like Airbnb or Booking.com offer filters for group tour holidays or group ski holidays, ensuring space for all.

We also recommend you checkout Cottages.com for booking out an entire cottage or lodge, great for trips away to Scotland or Wales and perfect for breaking in those hiking boots!

Next, lock in activities. Group trips to Europe might include a city tour, while group adventure trips could feature kayaking or zip-lining. Book early to snag group trip deals and avoid sell-outs.

Step 4: Simplify Travel with 6, 7, or 9 Seater Van Hire

Here’s where hirefleet shines. Coordinating transport for group holidays can be a logistical nightmare, think multiple cars, parking fees, and fuel costs. Enter 6 seater van hire, 7 seater van hire, or 9 seater van hire. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:

Cost Savings: Split the cost of one van instead of multiple vehicles. For cheap group holidays or low cost group holidays, this is a no-brainer.

Stress Reduction: One driver, one route, no public transport chaos. Perfect for group trips UK or group trips to Europe.

Extra Space: Our people carriers are crew cab vans, meaning extra cargo room for skis, luggage, or shopping hauls, ideal for group family holidays or group adventure trips.

Whether you’re six snow-lovers or nine explorers, hirefleet’s vans keep your crew together and your budget intact.

Step 5: Pack Smart for Your Group Holiday

Packing for group adventure holidays or group ski holidays requires foresight. With a 9 seater van hire, you’ve got that crew cab cargo space, but still:

Coordinate Gear: For group ski trips, share items like portable speakers or cooking gear to save space.

Essentials List: Share a checklist via WhatsApp, think passports for group trips to Europe or sunscreen for group tour holidays in the sun.

Snacks: Load up the van with group-friendly treats to keep energy high.

Step 6: Finalise Details & Hit the Road

A week before departure, confirm everything: 

Accommodation check-in details.

Van pickup from hirefleet (ensure your 6 seater van hire, 7 seater van hire, or 9 seater van hire is reserved).

A group playlist—because every group holiday needs a soundtrack.

Then, pile into your crew cab van, crank the tunes, and enjoy the ride. Whether it’s a group ski holiday, a group trip UK, or a group adventure holiday in Europe, you’re set for success.

Bonus Tips for Cheap Group Holidays

Off-Peak Travel: Score low cost group holidays by avoiding peak seasons.

Self-Catering: Cook in your Villa, Lodge or Cottage to cut dining costs.

Van Hire Perks: hirefleet’s competitive rates on 6 seater van hire, 7 seater van hire, and 9 seater van hire keep transport affordable.
