Drivers Info

Every one of our coach hire drivers goes through a tough selection procedure to ensure we only employ those with experience and professionalism.

Choosing drivers with the right personality ensures our customers receive the kind of care and attention to detail they deserve.

When new drivers join us, they are already qualified with a PCV license, however upon joining our company they must undergo a stringent introduction programme to bring them up to South Wales Transport’s standards of both safety and customer care.

From years of experience we know that our knowledgeable, professional, safe and friendly drivers will make your journey a pleasurable one.
