Moving a group around Ras Al Khaimah means linking up a spread-out emirate. The town sits about 18 km from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport, its two universities are a few kilometres from the centre, and its historic forts are close by. UAE Bus Hire provides minibuses, midi-coaches, full-size coaches and double deckers, each with a professional driver, so your group travels together without anyone needing to navigate or park.
Every quote includes the driver, fuel, Salik tolls, CDW, liability insurance and breakdown assistance, plus 24/7 support by phone and WhatsApp. You get one clear figure for the job, whether that is a single airport run or months of daily staff shuttles.

Coach, Minibus and Bus Hire with Driver in Ras Al Khaimah
Our bus rental with driver covers the full range of group journeys in Ras Al Khaimah. These include airport transfers, corporate and staff transport, school trips, weddings and events, and tours or day trips across the emirates. You tell us the pick-up points, the timings and the size of your group, and we match the vehicle and plan the job around them.
Minibus hire suits smaller groups such as a family arriving on the same flight, a project team or a university society. Coach hire makes more sense when a whole department, school year or wedding party needs to travel at once. Because we cover all seven emirates, a trip that starts in Ras Al Khaimah can finish in any other emirate without changing operator.
Our drivers are professional and experienced. Every vehicle is registered, regularly serviced, cleaned and checked before it is sent out. If plans change on the day, our team can be reached at any hour by phone or WhatsApp.
Vehicles for Every Group Size
The fleet runs from a Mercedes executive car for up to four passengers to a double decker carrying up to 72. Between them are MPVs and vans with 6–12 seats, minibuses with 16–19 seats, midi-coaches with 22–33 seats and full-size coaches with 35–56 seats.
All our vehicles are air-conditioned and have seatbelts as standard, and we plan luggage space for your group. This matters most on airport runs, when every passenger arrives with cases. Luxury and VIP vehicles are also available for executive guests or wedding parties.
Use the table below to compare seating across the fleet. If your group falls between two sizes, tell us about your luggage and we will recommend the most practical option.
| Vehicle | Seats |
|---|---|
| Mercedes executive car | 4 |
| MPV / van | 6–12 |
| Minibus | 16–19 |
| Midi-coach | 22–33 |
| Coach | 35–56 |
| Double decker | up to 72 |
Getting Around Ras Al Khaimah by Group Transport
Ras Al Khaimah International Airport (RKT) is about 18 km from the town, so it is the natural arrival point for most visiting groups. Some groups fly into Sharjah International Airport (SHJ), about 65 km away, instead, and Dibba Airport (BYB) lies about 36 km away. We can collect from any of them and take everyone straight to their hotel, venue or workplace.
Ras Al Khaimah has no rail station, so road transport carries most group travel. Public buses use Nakil Bus Station, about 4 km away, and Al Hamra Bus Station, about 6.5 km away. A chartered vehicle collects from your own address instead, which saves your group from changing buses with luggage.
The town has two universities within easy reach: the University of RAK Medicine and Science, about 4 km away, and the American University of Ras Al Khaimah, about 6 km away. Both generate student, staff and visitor movements. For heritage outings, Al Hisn Fort is about 2.4 km away and Al Araibi Fort about 4 km away, so the two make a compact pairing for a school trip or a short guided visit.
