Coach and bus insurance specialist Gauntlet Group has announced exclusive offers as part of its membership with coach hire price comparison website Coach Hire Comparison.

As part of its partnership arrangement, Gauntlet is offering what it calls a ‘Call Paul’ service. It allows Coach Hire Comparison members to contact insurance expert Paul Hawley with any queries relating to insurance covers for free advice and a ‘no-nonsense situation review’.

In addition, Coach Hire Comparison customers can enjoy a 10% discount on specially arranged coach and bus breakdown cover, offered by Gauntlet through the RAC. 

Gauntlet says the partnership is the next step in its campaign to help coach operators back to full recovery. It follows its Back on the Road: The Coach Operator’s Renaissance Guide to Insurance and Driving in 2021 booklet, published in 2021, which presented advice on how to return vehicles to the road post-lockdown.

It hopes that by working with Coach Hire Comparison it will encourage operators to capitalise on the maximum earning potential of a coach or minibus’s hours spent on the road, and reducing excess capacity. Coach Hire Comparison is free to join, but can see operators boost earning potential.

“Gauntlet has provided coach and bus operators with first-class insurance policies and top-quality advice, for nearly 30 years,” says Gauntlet Sales Manager Angela McIver. “It’s fantastic to now partner with a vibrant business like Coach Hire Comparison and offer this expertise through a different channel. 

“We are putting our heads together to work on a series of forthcoming initiatives and believe we can bring innovative added value to the coach and bus travel community.”

Adds Coach Hire Comparison co-founder James Stokes: “Partnering with Gauntlet makes absolute sense for Coach Hire Comparison and its members. Both companies are striving for the same end goal, and that’s to see coach and minibus operators back on the road as much as possible, after what have been a turbulent few years.  

“With Coach Hire Comparison’s platform and Gauntlet’s excellent insurance offerings, we firmly believe the future can be a bright and productive one.”

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
