Getting Around York — Why a Minibus Is the Smart Choice

York is one of England’s most remarkable cities a place where nearly 2,000 years of history can be walked in an afternoon. Founded as Eboracum in AD 71 by the Romans, it later became the Viking city of Jorvik, then a medieval ecclesiastical powerhouse, and today one of the most visited tourist destinations in the United Kingdom. With a city population of around 222,000 and a historic core that draws millions of domestic and international tourists each year, York is a city that never stands still.

The YO postcode area is one of the largest in England covering not just York city itself but Scarborough, Whitby, Filey, Pickering, Malton, Selby, Thirsk, and Bridlington across an area of approximately 830 square miles. York itself sits 27 miles north-east of Leeds, 20 miles south of Thirsk, and 43 miles from Hull making it equally accessible from West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, and East Yorkshire.

For groups coming to York, the city presents a classic transport dilemma: the city centre is compact and historic (largely traffic-managed), parking is expensive and limited, and taxis for eight or more people quickly become as costly as the day out itself. A minibus solves all of this one vehicle, one drop-off point, one price, no parking, no multiple Ubers, no half the group arriving half an hour late.
