Bob, is a very careful considerate driver, we all felt safe with him.  He picked up some passengers from Bodiam station to travel to Bodiam Castle and found he was not allowed to park his coach in their coach park, so he went away and safely parked elsewhere and arrived back on time to take us back to the Bodiam station later on.  We also had some passengers that were not feeling too good in the hot weather and did not want to travel on the un airconditioned train.  Bob kindly took them back to Tenterden and waited for the rest of us to board the coach to go home.  He made our day in more enjoyable.

Will was fantastic, very friendly and professional. We hit a lot of traffic but he responded well and made the trip very easy for us! Also as a company was very patient with a lot of last minute changes from our booking due to workshop changes, thank you very much.

Thank you very much

Emma Oben

Thank you for providing such a good driver for the Canterbury U3A outings.  Will was very helpful and flexible and was a wonderful ambassador for Regent coaches. We had lots of positive responses from the group about him.  We will definitely use Regent coaches again.

Canterbury U3A

We had an excellent driver, very friendly and helpful. 10 out of 10 and although we thanked him on the day please pass on our thanks again

Carl Bradford

We had coach driver Will from regent’s coaches for our U14 rugby tour this weekend to Gloucester. Top service, top driver, couldn’t have accommodated us any more. Fantastic coach, always early, safe and smooth and very friendly. Will definitely use again. 5 stars!

Canterbury U14 Rugby

Will was a wonderful driver. He was very patient and kind. He drove confidently through the heavy downpour and was patient when I was trying to figure out the car seat. Will offered to stop at a services if we needed too.  

The coach was spacious, clean and very comfortable.
Thank you

Kirsty King

Thank you for the excellent service provided on this trip. The driver was very polite and punctual and the coach exceeded expectations in terms of quality and cleanliness. Very pleased with the service received prior to the trip too.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team.
It was very good of you to mange all the changes we incurred. And your driver was excellent.

Whitstable Scuba

Very smooth journey. He was also brilliant with sorting out the parking for the day. Thank you. All perfect.
Robert Sanderson

I just wanted to write and say thank you- having been on many school trips through you (three Royal Opera House trips and the Margate pantomime) I am always impressed by the friendliness of the drivers and the service that I have received from booking through to the actual journey.

You really make organising a school trip easy and hassle free. I thought I should write and say thank you!

Andrew Granville

Great service, on time and very nice coach.  I will be using your services again.

Mandeep Bains

35 Service- 

We would like to bring to your attention that we, Westgate on Sea Christmas Lights Switch On committee, recently held a vote in Westgate on Sea to find a Local Hero to switch on our Christmas Lights.

There were many names put forward with some great back stories.

We had to select a winner and we had 2 outstanding candidates. Mrs Ruth Shilling and Phil, the driver of your 35 bus service.

Eventually we decided to give the honour to Mrs Ruth Shilling but we felt that you should be aware of how much affection is felt for Phil. He is a star.

You should be very proud of Phil as an employee. He represents you in a very good light. He is kind, generous and very willing to help passengers not matter what their issues are.

BTW, Phil is aware that he was beaten to the post by Ruth as Ruth constantly reminds him !

Thank you

Ray Taylor

Your great super service.
Porchlight

Mark was excellent, could not have looked after us any better! Thank him very much from us all. Will use your service again.
Lee Eamonn

Hi Sam

We survived! Thank you SO much for all your logistical support in the planning stages, and thank you to your lovely drivers for being so professional and punctual. All went very well!

Thanks again and hope to work with you again ?

Best wishes,

Sarah

Sean was superb. A very smooth and safe driver. When in the service stations he would stay with the bus to make sure our stuff was safe. A very nice bloke indeed. Brilliant.
Robert Sanderson

I would just like to say what a fantastic driver you have in Keith on the 36. He is pretty much always on time, safe smooth driving has a brilliant manner with the passengers  and nothing is to much trouble. He is always up for a bit of banter which makes the journey a joy.

Bus was on time and clean. It was only a short hire but no issues thank you. Booking was easy and very efficient, said they would ring back and did so when they said they would. Confirmation was received, great.
Laurie Dengate

All 4 coaches and drivers were good – very reliable service and  I would recommend your company.

Jane baker

I just wanted to write to express my thanks and appreciation to the very kind bus driver of the 620 bus from Hastingleigh to Canterbury at 7.34am on Monday 5th August. My son and I were trialling his route to his new school and the driver took time to go over it all with us and went out of his way to ensure we understood where to go. My son now feels considerably more confident about negotiating this new route for him (as do I!). Please could you pass on our thanks for going out of his way for us.
Many thanks!

Becks Snart

Hi, I just wanted to let you know what a great driver you have.  
Yesterday my 11 year old daughter got on the wrong bus home to Stelling Minnis, she’s just started secondary school. Not only did she get on the wrong bus but her phone ran out of battery, to let me know where she was going or confirm that she was on the correct no.18 bus, her messages increasingly panicked and me trying to stay calm! Jess was the driver of the 620 bus she was on, my daughter eventually got the courage to explain to him she was lost and on the wrong bus and that her phone had ran out of battery.  He refused to let her out as they were driving through woods and explained to her it wasn’t safe to let her out there and he would drop her at the next village pub.  He also let her use his mobile phone to call me,

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Jess for taking care of her as much as he could, whilst still doing his job.

Sarah Grattan

Thank you Regent Coaches – not just a coach journey but an adventure!! Although not everything went exactly to plan, it was an adventure and all the drivers were professional and competent. We had a magical weekend of running and the coach and drivers made it all possible.

Thank you so much.

Vicky Godden

Brilliant service – all went very smoothly.  Would definitely use again.  Thank you!

Claire French

Great day and great service as usual.
Geoff Bull

Hi, I just wanted you to pass my thanks on to one of your drivers. On Saturday my friend and I were riding our horses out of Painters Forstal towards Eastling and we met one of your small busses going the other way (The bus was going to Throwley I believe). The horses were very nervous of going past the bus, compounded by some horses in a field next to us running up to the fence. Your driver was fabulous, he pulled over as far as he could, switched off his engine and was totally patient waiting for us to get past. We skittered past a bit sideways and again he was in no rush and waited until we were well clear before starting his engine again. He is a perfect example of what to do when faced with a nervous horse. This was at around 1300 but I’m not sure of the exact time. Please pass on my heartfelt thanks to your wonderful driver.

Lorna Chapman

Good afternoon,

Thought you might like to know about the driver of the 13.15 route 36 today
(Mon 6th July)  from Margate Cecil Square.
A very professional driver and really friendly with the passengers. For some
of the elderly passengers he was talking to, he probably really made their
day – important in these strange times. A credit to your company.

Kind regards

Alex

To,  the Management 

 I felt like I should write an email telling you about the wonderful service we experienced on Saturday the 28th of August on the 660. I have never used this route previously but a friend suggested it to get to Tankerton. Although the route is quite infrequent I thought we would give it a go. The bus driver, a young man Jessie was an absolute pleasure. I have never met a more courteous and polite driver. He greeted every customer with smile and welcomed them. He is an absolute asset to your company. 

 Thank you for your time 

 Tracy

Thank you very much for providing service for us. Robert, our minibus driver was brilliant and thanks to him as well.

If there is anything coming in the future I will definitely use your service and also recommend to my friends if they require.

Once again thank you.

Deepak

I feel I must congratulate you regarding your choice / hiring of drivers. The chap who was driving your bus from Birchington to Margate today was polite, courteous and also a good driver, I believe it was around 2.45 pick up from Birchington . 

What a pleasure to experience such a polite service in these days of falling standards !

Thanks

Ian Mackie

Mark was a superb driver and very helpful with getting everyone and all there purchases safely stowed away!

Thanks

Richard Baker

Hi

Yes please, this will be our final trip to Wild Play Natures Way so can I confirm we need one final coach.

Kind Regards

The service received was brilliant! When Steve arrived he let me know and although the people on the coach tour were supposed to leave at 9.30am they didn’t actually get on the coach until 10am but Steve was patient and professional and happy to wait. Overall a thoroughly spot on service! Would definitely recommend them 🙂

Jennifer Vye

I don’t know where to start – a professional and caring driver in an immaculate vehicle. Nothing was too much bother. Contact with the office was cheerful, friendly and positive.  The students and the staff had fun, felt very safe and wished the day had been longer.  I will bypassing on a recommendation tk colleagues for next year.

Mark, is a very good driver.  He was on time for the pick ups , we arrived at Chatham on time.  Going home he agreed to start a little earlier.  A considerate driver and safe. 

John Wakeham

Would thoroughly recommend Regent Coaches. Regent Coaches was booked as part of a football tour package for a school trip. Our driver, Will, was amazing. Nothing was too much hassle and Will fitted in so well with our staff team throughout the tour. The kids absolutely loved him! We would 100% use Regent coaches again, especially if Will was our driver!

Excellent service from start to finish

Linda Matthews

Great day. Usual high standards. James was a great driver and helpful with parking near to the venue and returning to collect us.

Geoff Bull

Rob was an excellent and safe driver who was polite, helpful and courteous at all times. The journey to and from the Ploughing Match was seamless. The coach was clean and tidy.
Thank you

St Edmunds School

Had a lovely day at the races. Mark our driver was a very imperative part of the day. From the start he got us to take part in the numbers on the wheel game. He was polite, pleasant and very accommodating for all of our needs and requests. We ended up being diverted all around the houses down some very narrow roads none of which phased him. Fantastic driving ability. The coach itself was amazing. We had the 29 seat bus which was comfortable, very spacious and extremely smooth. The air con was ice cold which was very welcome on a hot day with a full bus. The booking system is very easy to use and the ability to make payments online as and when the money from each race goer was given to me was fantastic. The company were very informative and would respond to emails and quotes almost instantly. Over all a very fantastic service exemplary driver and extremely reasonable price. Will be booking future excursions in the very near future. Thank you to all involved, especially mark our driver.

Mitch Avery

This is the fourth year we have used Regent Coaches to get us to our annual dinner in London.  Excellent service as usual. Great company. Highly recommended.

Top score on every point, from pick up to back home

Gill Monk

Praising drivers on 36 bus route especially one on 18.53 last night from Herne Bay. Excellent with customers.

Norman, Robert and Sean.

Centaur Coaches

A perfect day thanks to having a comfortable coach with an understanding driver whose standard of driving was first class.
David Bowley

Peter was lovely polite, professional and a credit to your company.
Jacquie Edwards

As I was the Treasurer when the deposit was paid for the coach and acted as ‘tour guide’ last Saturday, I thought I would drop you a line to say thanks to Sean for driving us so well down some very ‘narrow’ roads (because of the cars parked on both sides) and for being very attentive in looking after our well-being when we were getting on board and alighting. We had an excellent day and Sean got us all back to Broadstairs station in good time for the trains to home. Many thanks and best wishes to you and your firm for the future.
The Organ Club

We had excellent service, thank you. The coach arrived on time and the driver knew exactly where we wanted to be and was happy to fit in our itinerary. There were no problems at all.
Patricia Wakeham

Coach arrived exactly on time & we were delivered to our destination ahead of schedule. Norman remained in touch with us during the day & was easily located for our return journey. Comfortable coach. Many thanks for your part in a memorable day!
Sandra Chandler

Dear Stella,

What a journey it has been!

Our Embassy Summer Canterbury centre will be closing on Monday, 12th August!

Together, we have provided excellent services to almost 1,000! children from all over the world, and, I dare say, helped making Summer 2019 a memory they will always be happy to revisit!

 Therefore, on behalf of our management team, I would like to express a huge thank you to your whole organisation! We have valued your cooperation, flexibility and helpfulness, and held our partnership in very high regard.

 Hopefully, in the following years, this partnership will continue to thrive, and together, we will be able to make more customers very happy!

Thank you again, on behalf of the Embassy Summer Canterbury management team,

Adam Hussein, Excursion Manager

l got the 36 bus from Birchington to arrive at QEQM Hospital Margate at  2pm and had the same driver getting on at QEQM at 4.05, and l wanted to tell you what a difference a bus ride can be. The driver was so friendly, polite and courteous. He was such a lovely young man, apart from no tea and cakes he made our ride so much better. l hope you thank him on behalf of myself and all his other customers. He is an absolute credit to have on your staff,

Thank you

Susan Collard

I just wanted to let you know that the gentleman driving the 36 bus at 15.16 in margate was exceptionally kind. His attitude towards me was so kind and I thought you should know that I am extremely grateful for that and he made my day. 

Have a good day.

Liberty Gardner

Have been on the 36 today, cheerful drivers both trips there and home again.

Jo Chaston

Dear Sir or Madam,

I write to you, because I want you to know about the operator of one of the Bus routes the County Council subsidises.

People are very quick to criticise, but usually slow to praise.

This letter regards Route 36 – Herne Bay to Margate, operated by Regent Coaches.

I would like it to be put on record the first class quality of service provided by this Operator, and I know this is not only my opinion but also that of most of the passengers who use it.

Given that there are often traffic and road works problems from time to time, it is extremely good on time keeping.

Other comments from passengers are how pleasant and cheerful and helpful their drivers are.

If only the same could be said for the areas main operator.

I and, I’m sure, most of the other passengers, hope that we can look forward to many more years of their excellent service on Route 36.

Mick Ayton

Just a quick email to pass on my thanks to the drivers this weekend. The weather conditions were difficult to say the least and they were all extremely flexible and understanding.

Chaucer College

A fantastic service. Our driver, Sean, was exceptional and went way above and beyond at all times throughout the trip. A great ambassador for your company!!

Michelle Elliott

I am just writing to say a big thank you on behalf of myself and my regulars for providing the transport for the charity boxing night I’m participating in. It’s very generous of you and really appreciated by all of us.

Dan Warwick

Wonderful service, really flexible and friendly. Felt able to ask questions.
Reliable.
Would use/ recommended to others again.

Kesia Wills

I’m currently on the bus home to Margate and I felt I needed to write and comment on the driver. He’s extremely pleasant to all the customers and it makes a really nice change to see, usually we take Stagecoach and the majority of the staff are quite rude!!  This chap is a real credit to your company. 

Regards

Nichola Jarvis

Dear Regent coaches team,

I have been meaning to do this thankyou for many years now since the beginning of the pandemic actually.

 But after the storms last week I told myself off for still not having done it.

THANK YOU 😊 THANK YOU 

              THANK YOU

I work at the QEQM margate and am a regular bus user, and have the NHS staff travel card (stagecoach) as you will be aware when social distancing came in, getting to and especially from work became harder and harder for everyone!! 

But your little 36 bus was always there to get us staff home after very busy and stressful shifts at the hospital.

Without your company we would watch the stage coach buses come into the Qeqm and go out again, time after time not unloading and not picking up.

You gave us a home life, time to be with our loved ones when everything had turned upside down in the world and in the hospital 

Please do not under estimate the gratefulness of all of us QEQM  staff who see the 36 and still breath a sigh of relief.

We know we will get home on time today!!

Again last week when the stagecoach  buses were cancelled, your little bus got me home !!! As you were the only bus running.

The driver was at the qeqm I saw it and ran for it so relieved to see it as I don’t carry cash and was going to be walking home in the storm.

It was like seeing water in a desert ……

Thank-you for allowing us to continue to use your bus at no extra cost!!!!

Please convey my thanks to all your hardworking drivers when they are cheery and friendly, especially your young chap.

I remember when he used to work for stagecoach he was always friendly and happy, it makes the journeys pleasant when you have someone like that, as that is not very often the experience of being a bus passenger on that company.

So please thank all your drivers  who pick up, us QEQM middle aged women morning or evening.

We really do appreciate it !!

Kind regards and sincere thanks

Dear Sam,

I would like to personally thank you for all your help this year.

I know it hasn’t been easy and tis been tough. 

However your very polite and professional and I thank you for that.

Thank you for sending everything and being patience. 

Wish you all the best, 

Goran

 

Driver was very patient whilst we settled all of the children onto the coach. He dropped us off at our required destination and was waiting and ready for us to take us back to school. One of the children had been feeling poorly on the way there and the coach driver made sure we had some bags for the journey home!

Parkside Primary School

I just wanted to send a quick note to say a huge thanks for a brilliant service today. James, our driver, was absolutely lovely and head office’s quick turnaround and communication has been exceptional. Having been let down by another coach company before I was nervous but the bus turned up right on time and even arrived early in Norwich.

 I’ve recommended you to all our junior managers and you will definitely be our first port of call for future away fixtures.

Everything including  travelling, timings, was perfect . James our driver was just amazing,  he was really marvellous, he was part of the family and so helpful, friendly and courteous. Thank you so much for asking James to be our driver , he really is a good ambassador for Regent Coaches.

Sandra Miles

Everything worked really well. Coach good, clean  and comfortable. Will was always on time, kept us informed and drove us safely there and back.  Whole trip met your usual high standards. Thank-you

Geoff Bull

I was very impressed with the whole booking/confirmation process. On the day, Rob arrived on time for our departure. He was friendly and very helpful in assisting our disabled travellers and we had a comfortable journey to our destination. The return trip was equally trouble-free and all travellers really enjoyed the experience    and the efficient way that Rob handled the driving.. 

Alan Stewart

The driver and the service were first class. This is an annual trip and shall certainly use your services again.
Special thanks to Mark for being so friendly and accommodating. 

Mr Merrick

Excellent driver, couldn’t ask for a better service. Polite, friendly , chatty. James was brilliant! Thank you x

 

Rebecca Collins

We would just like to take the opportunity to thank you for your services on the 8th December. We hired three of your coaches.  

We have received really positive feedback from our colleagues about how excellent the coach service was and how lovely the drivers were! 

I was on the return coach from our Ashford office to Kent County Showground, and I believe our driver was Martin. He was incredibly helpful made our return journey very enjoyable 😊

Thanks again and hope you all have an enjoyable Christmas.

Girlings Solicitors

Our choir trip into London was effortless, very comfortable and all elements were handled beautifully. Our driver was on time at every point and we appreciated the suggestion of using the Magistrates Court bus stop as our pickup/drop off point – much more convenient to the Canterbury Cathedral Lodge than the St. George’s Lane coach station – many thanks!!

All Saints, Beverly Hills

Excellent service for wedding guests to get from hotel to venue and home. Difficult country lanes and very careful driver. He went above and beyond taking my elderly mother to her door after the drop off point. Thank you!

Donna

Driver was really lovely, turned up on time, mini bus was clean and comfortable, Will definitely use and recommend.
Cheryl Martin

Another excellent trip with regent coaches.  The driver I have to say was a real pleasure and went out of his way to make our outing a memorable experience, will definitely book again next year,  thank you again.
Mrs Gloria Webb

Had a fantastic coach trip with Steve – he was fantastic, really accommodating and kind, and got us to each destination on time. The service from Regent was excellent – very efficient and smooth. Thank you!
Catherine Herbert

We had an excellent night, thank you very much for the brilliant service!
Siesta Crafts

I wanted to thank your driver who drives the bus through Waltham around 4/5pm. On several occasions my friends and I have been horse riding through the village and your driver is always courteous – pulling over, stopping and really important waits until we have all passed and got a distance away before starting up his engine. He is always polite and patient. So good to see a professionai driver who understands and is respectful of other road users. Thank you.

Sue Harvey

Great service, pleasant and professional driver, clean and comfortable coach. Top rating.

Ana Eastwood

Many thanks for your super service and lovely drivers.

Thanet South Girl Guide

Just a brief one to thank you for the service at the weekend with the delivery of the Jose Arnauda group from Luton to Bookers.

The group and the driver seemed to develop a very good relationship, and everyone was in really good spirits on their arrival. (Not an everyday event when you’ve landed at Luton!)

The group asked if the same driver was available for their departure, and I told them that that was beyond my control, but either way, a real commendation for your man.

Kent School Of English

We would like to say a BIG thank you to Regent Coaches for another great service for our annual preschool trip to Kent Life in Maidstone. Our driver Steve was helpful and really looked after us. The coach was luxury, comfortable, cool and most importantly for our little ones had seat belts and a toilet. Our coach arrived early, was a lovely ride both there and back and we arrived back with ten minutes to spare. Highly recommend this local business who are great on price too ?
Briary School

Thank you for providing the coach for our recent trip to Taunton.
Everything went well and I wish to express our particular thanks to our two drivers, Shaun and Pete. They were extremely helpful, courteous and friendly  and a credit to your
company.

St Alphege Church Seasalter

I’d like to say what a fantastic bloke Pete is! We had nightmare traffic, enough to test anyone’s patience but Pete was calm, friendly & obliging from start to finish. We even had a  lovely chat with his wife Ange 😉   Would highly recommend your first class service to anyone.

Sarah Newman

Yet again Regent Coaches delivered a 1st class service for our pubs annual trip to the races. Robert was very helpful, as are the other drivers who have taken us every year.
Many thanks to Sam also for providing us with a very comfortable coach and a very reasonable price for our trip. Well done to you all, many thanks from all of us.

The local, Chartham

hi there! just wanted to let you know how wonderful your bus driver Phil is! He drives the 35 between Westwood cross and Mountfield way and is always such a happy and friendly guy. I love getting Phil’s bus and am always slightly disappointed when someone else occasionally replaces him.
Zoë Ryan

I would just like to say we had a good day at ascot and your driver Ray was so
good. We will definitely be using you again, the service was great. Thanks
for getting us there and back safely Ray.
Lisa Jeffery

Thanks for an excellent trip to London. All of our wedding guests have commented on the professional standard of your coach service. Graham our driver arrived on time and collected us at the time arranged. He was most helpful, friendly and professional.
If we have a need, we will not hesitate to use Regent Coaches again and if asked will certainly recommend you.

Thanks once again.

Richard Holness

Always get a first class service when I start organising a coach trip. Helpful from the beginning to the final date of the trip. Really great drivers and very comfortable coaches at reasonable prices.
Janet Payne

Dear Regent Coaches, I would like to thank you for the service we received yesterday. Special thanks to our driver Sean who got us to Ruxley Manor and back safe and sound. He was so helpful and made our trip so enjoyable. 
Pat Day

We were using your services on the 9th of January 2020 (for a trip to ASDA) and on the 12th of January 2020 (for a trip to Dover Castle) for our Welcome Week programme. Both days we were pleased with the service. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Furthermore, the coaches arrived on time and we had a pleasant journey. Many thanks for the great service you provided.

University of Kent

Sean was fantastic throughout the day. Brilliant with the students, extremely friendly and accommodating. He managed the seemingly impossible task of getting us across central London through seemingly endless congestion, using his experience and a handy back road through Farringdon. His hard work made the day a total success.

Dr Sam Robinson

Great service the previous two weeks.  Really friendly and helpful drivers. Very much appreciated.

Caroline Chatwin

Thank you.  We had an excellent trip to Chelsea FC and return via BlueWater with a helpful and friendly driver.  Travel times were not too long despite heavy traffic leaving London in the afternoon.

Deborah Becks

I work at QEQM and your lovely driver transported me back to Herne Bay. He’s a credit to you, so friendly and professional. I’ve had some negative experiences since the C19 and my place of work from another bus company and it was lovely to be treated so nicely. Thanks to him. I don’t know his name but the bus was number 36. He’s a real asset to your company. Thank you.

Jane Samatha

I am writing to thank you and all your team for the wonderful service you provided for the above booking (Broadstairs/Westgate/Whitstable/London and return) for my family to attend my son’s wedding in London.

First I would like to thank your booking team – this was not an easy booking, with arrangements changing over the course of time (due in part to booked London wedding venues deciding not to re-open post pandemic) and your team dealt with it all courteously and professionally – thank you!

Secondly I would like to thank and congratulate our team of three drivers – all very skillfull but I must particularly thank our main driver (Whistable/London and return) – (I’m afraid I didn’t catch his name).  His driving skill and knowledge of London were spectacular – he managed to negotiate pre-Remembrance Day  London grid-locks calmly and his information and helpfulness were greatly appreciated –  this led to it being a totally stress-free day.   I should be grateful if you would pass our thanks on to him.

All in all a very successful day – thank you all. 

Derek Carpenter

I just wanted to say thank you to all the lovely drivers on the 36 bus (Herne Bay), particularly Jess, who is so friendly, caring, helpful and kind. It’s a real pleasure to ride on such a cheerful bus, and that, of course, is down to the wonderful attitude of the drivers.

They make you feel welcome, so it not only feels like a real community bus, but it often turns into quite a social occasion too, as the other passengers join the friendly atmosphere on board!

The drivers often look out for particular passengers if they feel they should be at a certain stop, but aren’t there. How caring. And they also make sure that they drop you off at a safe place.

It is so kind, in this day and age, to be cared about that much.

That’s quite something! Thank you to all these drivers for the happy bus journeys!

Best wishes to you all,

Good afternoon,

 I had the pleasure of being the designated First Aider on a visit to the V&A Museum in London from Towers School with a group of our Sixth Form students.

We were driven by your lovely driver, Dean.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for such a smooth journey. Dean is a credit to your company with his courtesy towards other road users; quite rare in London!

I understand that you would probably expect nothing less but I think it’s nice to hear from a customer!

It might not sound much but things like Dean’s courtesy and smooth driving make a big difference to a day out!

 Many thanks to Dean again.

 Very best wishes

The coach arrived in good time. Steve was smartly dressed and polite and conducted himself in a very professional, yet down-to-earth manner. An excellent driver. Although it wasn’t a long journey, we felt we were in safe, capable hands. Thank you Steve.

Barry Walker

Great customer service, attention to detail, and easy communication process when planning our journey, for a works day out. Our driver on the day was very well dressed, conserderate and accompdating to our changing needs on the day. An all round gold star service from Regent Coaches – thank you!

Our whole experience of the day was exceptional. James was very helpful and nothing was too much for him. Definitely an asset to the Company. The coach was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely use again and have already recommended your company.

Just a quick one to say a huge thanks to you and the team for making our wedding transport completely seamless. Been fantastic working with you –  if I ever need to move 100 people again, you will without doubt be the first people I call! 

Daniel Davis

We had an excellent journey at every stage, always on time at each pick up point. Will was friendly and very helpful as were the staff in the office nothing was too much trouble. Thank you once again for your excellent service.

Judy Warburton

Many thanks for your recent services for Mr Burkhard’s group of American golfers.  According to Mr Burkhard, the ‘transportation was excellent’.  No further words are necessary, except to say that we will use your services as soon as the next opportunity arises.

Countrywide Golf Holidays

Our driver Mark was a great Thanks so much! The travel to and from event was perfect thanks to George, who was amazing. We will definitely be using Regents Coaches again. Keep up the good work.

Matry

Our driver Mark was a great coach driver for our trip. He was very friendly and some of the staff on the coach had a good chat with him. The drive to and from Sittingbourne was smooth, and we all felt at ease with him behind the wheel. Thank you!

Poppy Phibbs

Great experience. Friendly driver, clean coach, very easy to book, great value and easily contactable. Would recommend.

Toby Smith

This is the first time we have used Regents Coaches. Our driver Jeff was very polite and nothing was a problem when we need to stop to pick other people up.

Would definitely recommend them.

Bill March

Great service provided, with good communication answering and confirming all our questions fluently. Punctual and polite. Couldn’t fault Regent coaches for the service they provided for our wedding guests.

Addam Liddle

I would like to commend Jess, one of your drivers. He is consistently good humoured, polite, helpful and a good safe driver. It is always a pleasure to travel with him and he is a great credit to your organisation.

Roy Wilson

We would like to take this opportunity to write and thank Sean, our driver, for going above and beyond the call of duty during our trip to Lille last week.

The return trip was problematic for reasons quite beyond our control – arising due to cancelled trains during the day on Eurostar.

Sean managed the situation very well, even though feelings were running very high.  When we received the news that our train had been postponed for a further 8 hours he took the initiative and organised a return by Ferry.

As you can imagine, our return time was significantly later than originally anticipated, but Sean made sure that everyone arrived to their respective homes safely.

We really appreciated him taking care of us so well.

Canterbury Christ Church University

Our driver was absolutely brilliant could not compliment him enough! Well done regents.

Liam Guida

Please could you pass on my thanks to Sean for a splendid journey to and from the Tower of London today.

He was an excellent driver but it was not just that… his thoughtfulness in driving close to the kerb to allow the children to board safely; his health and safety messages at the beginning; his local knowledge to avoid the queues and his patience with the inevitable delays and London traffic… all of this made our day so much more pleasurable and the whole trip was stress-free and happy.

The children loved him and we will certainly request that he drives our coaches again in future.  Please tell him that he is a star

St Edmunds School

Great Day good Driver and very good coach We would rate Initial Enquiry,Office Vehicle
Coach ,Pick Up,Driver Company all at 5 and would recommend you to others.

Marion Gilbert

Coach was on time and  driver was very friendly and helpful and  quickly took us to airport.
Nick Parker

Our driver was brilliant…I’m sorry but I can’t remember his name and I’ve lost the card he gave me on the day.  He was really good though, safe and accommodating. thank you.
Victoria Burton

Pete and the other driver hired on the day for my sisters wedding were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, very kind and polite, really lovely to travel with . Thank you so much it was a lovely journey
Catherine Austin

I’m writing in regarding to your driver who drives the 638 from Faversham to Whitstable. ( I’m lead to believe his name is Jess) 

I’d just like to say that he is one of the most amazing drivers I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. He always greets all the passengers with a smile, nothing is to much for him and when the pupils get off the bus he wishes every single one a good day and to cross safely and to be good. All the children behave on the bus and he is always friendly and polite. 

If you have a employee of the month I highly recommend him.

Peri

Perfect service for a perfect day.

 

We hired a 16 seater coach which was very clean, comfortable & well appointed. Thankfully over this record breaking weekend the air conditioning was very efficient. To our delight there was lots of space for the men in our family who are all well over 6ft.
We hired over two days with two different drivers, both of them were professional and patient, nothing was too much trouble and we enjoyed good service with a smile.
The office staff were also extremely helpful, keen to ensure that we had what we needed.
(There wasn’t a lot of luggage space for 16 people, but we didn’t need it & I’m sure the office staff would have pointed that out if our circumstances had been different).
We would definitely recommend this company without hesitation & will use them again should the need arise.

 

Claire Barber-Lomax

Fantastic service, very prompt – actually early which made me nice and relaxed to get to my niece’s wedding on time. Very friendly driver, nice and chatty – he used to teach my daughter Geography at school!!
This is the 2nd time I’ve used Regent Coaches for a family wedding and would highly recommend them to others and use you again.

Thank you.

Lucy Tennant

Stella was amazing – most helpful from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble.

Both drivers were polite, professional and considerate.

The buses were exceptionally clean and tidy and very well presented.

Thanks all round to the whole team.

Parry Law

A big Thank you to all at Regents for supporting our sailing programme this term.
The Kings School

Thank you for organising  a coach for us last Saturday; it all went well . Please also convey my thanks to the driver, Gyorgy – he was very helpful and considerate .

Bill Vennart

Dear Regent Coaches,

I travelled on your route 638 service today departing at 1356 from Whitstable, Harbour Street to Faversham, Makenade Garage, and in this day and age when people are so quick to complain about things I thought I’d make the time to send a compliment.

The bus was clean and tidy, but in particular what has prompted me to send this email was the courteous driver and his excellent driving skills over what seems to me to be quite a challenging route, all contributing to making this a good travel experience.

I don’t often make the time to write letters of praise (which in many ways is a shame) but I was particularly ‘driven’ (pun intended ?) to do say after today’s experience. I hope the feedback is of interest.

Andy Veitch

 l  got on the bus at Birchington at 14.39 to go to QEQM hospital at Margate. The driver was a lovely young man, we stopped at Margate for one minute and he explained it was to do with timing. l thought that was good of him to tell us and not leave us wondering why, and at the hospital he told me the return times to Birchington and it was the same driver at 17.05. He is a credit to your company and both buses spot on time, GREAT.

Susan Collard

 I just want to thank you and your staff for the bus service while the Corona Virus is on. I live in Seasalter and have been relying on the 638 and 660, mainly the 660. The bus has always been on time and Mark the driver is always happy. It has been a pleasure travelling on his bus. Once again, thank you.

Mrs Gillian Potter

We were 2 Australians staying near Whitstable for 2 weeks. The bus driver who drives between Faversham and Tankerton was an amazingly helpful and friendly driver. His courtesy to his regular passengers and to new passengers, like ourselves, was outstanding. We would vote him ‘UK’s Bus Driver of the Year!’
Thank you to your bus company for helping us get around your beautiful part of Kent!!!

Helen & Paul

 

We used Regent Coaches for a trip to a conference and then on to another destination. The driver was on time and very patient and polite with a large group a teenagers!
We will definetely use again. Communications from booking right through to the day were very professional – highly recommend!

The Whitstable School

Once again thank you to Sam for providing our travel for a very special occasion. Price quoted as previous very competitive and the fine 29 seater coach was very comfortable.  Thank you to Norman our driver for that day in persevering with some very jovial passengers. Well done to team regent coaches.

Shailesh

Fantastic service from Regent coaches. The driver was amazing – very prompt and polite. Was very patient with a teenage group. Highly recommend!

Luci Brown

The coach arrived on time, the driver was friendly, we got to the theatre with time to spare… Regent Coaches helped to trip run smoothly! Thank you!

Katie Day

Dear Sir,

Just to let you know that we had a wonderful trip to Hole Park Gardens yesterday on one of your coaches. Our driver was lovely and very attentive to those that needed a bit of help getting on and off the coach. We had a very comfortable, safe journey.

Also a thank you for making the booking of this trip very easy.

Many thanks

Carole Rogers on behalf of Faversham Gunpowder WI

Fantastic Service! We could not ask for better drivers either! Robert and Bob were a great addition to our day away. Highly recommend them!

We were really impressed by the service provided by Regents. We gave the company very short notice to provide our school under 17 cricket side with a 16 seater minibus for a national cup semi-final. Regents provided an excellent quote immediately and worked with us to ensure we hit the right timings for the journey. Adrian, the driver, was very friendly and drove professionally and sensibly. We had a pleasant trip back and forth from Winchester College. I would highly recommend this company.

Steve was very friendly and helpful. He was at the pick up early and he made sure he returned to the coach in plenty of time on the return journey. He was very polite and asked the ladies if we’d enjoyed ourselves. The coach journey was very smooth. An excellent service!

Anne Livingstone

The journey to Hever and back was very comfortable and enjoyable. The driver was excellent, he was friendly and very supportive of the less able members of the party. Everyone who went enjoyed the day made possible by your company and the driver. I am sure that Chestfield WI will be using you again in the not too distant future.

Chestfield WI

Excellent service from start to finish. The driver was also lovely, which made the journey pleasant.

Emma Whiting

All great. Early arrival. Polite and helpful driver. Excellent driving. A really good experience. Thank you.

Lucy Taylor-Smith

Robert was punctual, enormously patient (we did faff about a lot and change plans along the way) and a safe driver without dawdling. The coach was comfortable and impeccably clean.

Peter Aukland

The driver and coach were perfect. Thank you so much for the wonderful journey to and from our event. The driver was very professional and friendly and we enjoyed our trip. Air con was also very much appreciated as it was a very hot day 🙂 If we had had confirmation of numbers sooner I could have suggested a mini bus rather than coach (my bad, not yours) but we enjoyed the journey there and back regardless. Thank you

Joanna Scamp

Fabulous service! Especially since he had to get us down a very tight country lane! And he was very patient with us on the ride home when we wanted to have a good old sing song!

Thank you – would recommend you and your service to others without hesitation!!
