Our Society has used Chalkwell Coach hire for many years now when we have organised our day trips. They have always been very reliable and staff very friendly and helpful. We would certainly recommend them.

We hired Chalkwell to take 36 of us to Staffordshire and they were amazing, they were on time and quick to help with any issues. We would really like to thank the driver Grant who picked us up from Staffordshire he was amazing and had great customer service skills. We would recommend Chalkwell to others and we will be using them again in the near future. Sittingbourne Baptist Church.
