“Great service from SMC and Anton Coaches. We requested a quote via the website. We got a prompt response. The price was competitive, the best price and they had availability. We had 17 passengers on a few different flights and the driver was patient and no problems as one flight was 1.5 hrs late. Pick on for the return was prompt. Excellent service overall.”
“SMC coaches offered the most competitive price for a group going from Portsmouth to Gatwick.
The quotation and negotiation process was excellent. They were really responsive and helpful.
The journeys themselves were comfortable, punctual and drivers very friendly.
I would definitely use then again.”
“Highly recommend this company. We hired two coaches for our daughter's wedding and the whole process was simple and we were helped every step of the way. A big thank you to drivers Patrick and Steve who were prompt and friendly, Patrick even agreed to add ribbons to the bride's vehicle and took the trouble to re-route due to roadworks. Thank you all (drivers and admin team) for helping to make our special day run smoothly and keep us all calm on the big day.”
“I didn’t travel, but information I received was (10 minutes) late at pickup and just missed hitting another vehicle within 5 mins. Everything else was satisfactory.”
“Excellent value for money, very competitive with other quotes. Booked many months in advance and communication was great all the way delivering what was promised. The coach arrived on time and driver contacted me beforehand, the driver was courteous and pleasant, with a good standard of coach which was clean. Very pleased overall and would definitely use again, and highly recommend, thanks.”
“Our driver was on time, friendly and was good enough to stop multiple times for us on the way to our destination. We would definitely recommend this company, they we quick and informative when we enquired and also once we booked right up until our return.”
“This company took 21 of us to a London airport and picked us up for the return journey 10 days later. They were professional and answered all queries quickly and the price given was very competitive. Both drivers were friendly and I would definitely recommend this company and use them again in the future.”
“Smooth and quick process from initial enquiry and throughout! Staff were super helpful at the beginning with prices and matching/beating other companies quotes.
Our driver was so lovely, we needed to stop off on our journey and it was no hassle at all, also on our return journey he did the same thing, was super friendly, helpful and approachable.
The coach was nice and clean, had air con and the driver even let us put our selected radio station on!
Would definitely use this company again, great service. Driver is a credit to the company!”
“Amazing service from start to finish great price spotless bus amazing driver took full coach to Blackpool for festival driver was great fun with kids mum Defo recommend Tony he’s brilliant will b using all time from now on”
“Punctual, clean, nice driver. I was also unable to drive following an operation. I don't like trains much either. I've recommended your company to several of my friends”
“Very poor service. Very poor communication. Staff were unhelpful. Tried to change price and conditions after non refundable deposit was paid.
To confirm that SMC is an intermediate company and this review is only in reference to THEIR service. The mini bus drivers we had were excellent, prompt, professional and helpful. The poor rating is poorly based on how unorganised, unprofessional and unhelpful they were as soon as a significant deposit was paid.”
“DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY!!! they are cowboys 5 days after paying the full amount and 2 days before our event they emailed to say the specific coach for our party had "broken down" and the replacement would cost us an extra £220 which morally isn't right in the first instance but then we were shocked to read in their T&Cs they had this written in for this very unique circumstance which is very suspicious. We were even more shocked to look at the reviews and see they've done this to people multiple times so this is obviously a sinister tactic they use to get more money from people who they know 2days before an event that they're stranded and left with no other choice but to pay the extortionate extra fee. The email they sent to announce this change was also very suspicious as whatever low IQ staff member they got to send out the round robin email left a space for "PRICE" and also called me two different names when I rang up so this "broken down" coach specifically relating to just our party was obviously conveniently happening to all the rest of their fleet all at the same time.... convenient that. Only redeeming factor about this company is they refunded me which in all honesty I wasn't expecting but other than that they are cowboys. the wish.com of coach hire companies”
“SMC were superb to deal with, quick to respond to all requests, keeping us updated with driver details and confirmations of various bookings on a regular basis.
Their coaches were spotless, exceptionally clean & with friendly drivers. They are a pleasure to deal with, & would have no hesitation in using them again & recommending them to friends & family”
“We had a corporate event for 30 people. Arranging the quote and then securing the coach was quick and easy. It arrived promptly and the driver was smartly dressed, professional and friendly; the coach was spotlessly clean. We were driven well and arrived on time. The driver checked we had a contact number for him, should there be any problems and then arrived on time for our return journey. All in all a very successful trip. I would highly recommend SMC Coaches and would definitely use them again!”
