A family-run coach rental company operating from Witney has been placed on the market after almost five decades in operation.

Blunsdon of Oxford has established itself as a trusted name throughout the region during its near 50-year history.

The business was established in 1977 and functions as a well-known coach hire company serving the Oxfordshire market town of Witney.

The company is now seeking new ownership through an online listing with an asking price of £129,000.

According to the sales listing: “The enterprise delivers dependable school transportation contracts and private hire services, having built a solid reputation for reliable performance and adherence to regulations as a licensed national operator.

The company’s fleet includes four full-size vehicles, with two compliant with current PSVAR accessibility regulations, maintaining ongoing compliance with government standards.

With a dedicated local clientele, enduring agreements with local authorities, and a conveniently positioned secure facility in Witney that also produces supplementary rental revenue, the business presents a stable platform for expansion through additional educational contracts or entry into smaller vehicle rentals.”

The listing indicates the company benefits from reduced operating costs thanks to subleasing space to other operators, consistent revenue from longstanding council agreements, and dependable term-time school work plus opportunities for additional private and seasonal bookings.

The current owner’s reason for selling was not disclosed in the public listing.

The business was previously marketed at £129,000 but the price has since been reduced from £149,000.
