How to book an RNA mini-bus
There are RNA mini-buses based in Plymouth, Portsmouth and Manchester.
These can be booked by a Member of the RNA free of charge.
The minibuses come with a full tank of diesel and we ask that they are returned with the same.
Their capacity is 9 pax (including the driver).
The minibuses have six seats in the back and three seats up front, so seat nine people, including the driver in total, with plenty of room for luggage.
The minibuses have wheelchair lifts so can accommodate wheelchair users.
