A Family Story Built on Trust, Safety & Service
For more than three decades, Orbit Coaches has been proudly family-owned and operated in Leicester. What started as a small coach hire business with and a solid idea; to provide reliable, comfortable transport with a personal touch, has grown into one of Leicestershire’s most trusted coach hire providers.
We’ve built our reputation the right way: through word-of-mouth, long-term relationships and consistently putting people first. From schools and sports teams to corporate clients and wedding parties, our passengers know they’re travelling with a company that genuinely cares.
Our Heritage
Founded over 30 years ago by the Chapman family, Orbit Coaches began life with a single vehicle and a big ambition; to make coach travel simpler, safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
Today, Orbit remains a true family business. Director; Lee Chapman, leads alongside his relatives, supported by a dedicated local team of drivers, operations staff and engineers. This hands-on leadership means the same people who built the business still shape its standards every day.
Over the years we’ve modernised, grown our fleet and expanded our services, but our promise has never changed…
Every passenger matters, and every journey deserves our best.

Community & inclusion
As a family-run business, we believe travel should be accessible to everyone. Our modern, luxury fleet meets the latest standards for wheelchair and restricted access, and we’ll always make sure any mobility requirements are fully accommodated when you book with us.
Our friendly, professional drivers are trained to assist passengers with care and respect, whether it’s helping with boarding, securing wheelchairs safely, or simply ensuring everyone feels comfortable and included throughout the journey.
Beyond accessibility, we’re proud to serve the Leicester community by supporting local schools, events and organisations, helping to bring people together through safe, inclusive, and enjoyable travel experiences.
