Why partner with Liberty

A transport partnership built around your school

Everything schools tell us they need from a transport supplier: predictable costs, a team that knows them, and vehicles available when the timetable demands.

Fixed pricing

Easier budgeting and fewer surprises.

One point of contact

One team managing transport across your school or trust.

Priority availability

Preferred access to vehicles for regular customers.

Full vehicle range

Taxis, minibuses, coaches and higher-capacity vehicles.

Built for education

Built for schools and academy trusts

Whether you are a single school or a trust of twenty, Liberty can run your transport as one managed account — with centralised booking, agreed rates and invoicing that suits your finance team.

  • Centralised booking and account management for one school or many
  • Agreed rates held on your account, applied to every journey
  • Regular timetabled routes alongside ad-hoc journeys
  • Consolidated invoicing where appropriate, or school-level invoices
  • One team who know your sites, staff and pick-up arrangements
