Outstanding Service & Excellent Support
I’ve had a great experience working with Lawrence and the National Coach Network team. Lawrence provides excellent service and is always professional, helpful, and easy to communicate with. What really stands out is how he regularly checks in every few weeks to see how things are going and whether I have any questions or concerns.
A big positive of working with National Coach Network is that they pay in advance, usually the day before the booking, which is incredibly helpful and gives peace of mind when planning work. The booking process has been smooth, communication is clear, and there are plenty of job opportunities available.
It’s clear that Lawrence genuinely cares about maintaining a strong working relationship and making sure everything runs smoothly. His regular follow-ups and willingness to help with any concerns make a real difference.
GREAT BIDDING COMPANY
Since joining NCN, I’ve had a far better flow of work and a stronger chance of keeping my business moving forward. The guys are brilliant to work with, and payments are always in the bank the day before the job — exactly how it should be. It’s made a real difference.

I had a great experience joining the National Coach Network. The registration process was incredibly straightforward, and their portal is very easy to use for managing job quotes and acceptances.
Lawrence was particularly helpful throughout the setup, providing excellent support. It’s also reassuring to see that they actively check in on their operators to see how things are going and offer genuine assistance. Highly recommended!

National Coach Network is a well-built platform that makes the process of submitting quotes quick, simple and efficient. From a usability point of view, it works very well and offers operators an easy way to access potential work.
That said, the main concern is the level of pricing being accepted across the platform. In many cases, the rates appear to be below what is commercially sustainable for operators who are properly accounting for the true cost of delivering the service. Running a minibus or coach operation involves far more than simply putting a vehicle on the road. Driver wages, fuel, insurance, maintenance, compliance, vehicle finance and unexpected operating costs all need to be covered within a realistic margin.
This industry only works when prices reflect the real cost of providing a safe, reliable and professional service. Continuously quoting below sustainable market levels may secure work in the short term, but it risks undermining standards and damaging the sector for everyone in the long run.
The platform itself has clear value, especially during quieter periods, but as the season becomes busier, it is important for operators to approach pricing with a full understanding of their costs and the commercial realities of the business. This is a professional service industry, and rates should reflect that accordingly.
