What “Smarter Travel” Means in 2026
Group travel isn’t just about getting from A to B.
It’s about planning efficiently, reducing costs, and travelling sustainably.
With new low-emission zones, rising fuel prices, and renewed focus on well-being, more UK travellers are switching to modern, eco-friendly coaches.
Here’s what makes smart travel the trend to follow this year:
- Smarter for budgets — group pricing beats individual rail or taxi fares.
- Smarter for the planet — one coach replaces up to 30 cars on the road.
- Smarter for teams and families — everyone arrives together, stress-free.
- Smarter for planners — digital booking, transparent quotes, and nationwide coverage.
2026 is the year to move smarter — and A Class Coach Hire is leading the way.
