Across Ghana, when a group needs moving — a church to a convention, a company to an event, a school on a trip, a family to a funeral — the vehicle that turns up is very often a Toyota Coaster. This 30-seat bus is the dependable backbone of group transport: big enough for a real crowd, nimble enough for most roads, and economical per seat. We hire it with a professional driver for groups of every kind.
What the Coaster is
The Coaster is a 30-seat (typically 29 to 33 seat) mid-size bus, air-conditioned and comfortable, that carries a substantial group in one vehicle. It’s the standard choice for mid-to-large parties — more than a 14-seater can hold, but more manoeuvrable than a full touring coach.
