New on the road

Abel Travel is a new minibus hire company in Derry, launched in September 2026 after months of getting everything in place. It’s one bus, run by someone local, and the number on the back doors goes straight to the man who runs it.

Airport at four in the morning or a weekend in Donegal, you’ll get a straight answer on price and a bus that turns up when it says it will.

“Very reliable service. Definitely 5*. Was on time for both pickups. Bus is very clean. Also price was very good.”
