Bus Hire Marrickville
Minibus and coach hire for schools, clubs, weddings and corporate groups across Marrickville and the southern Inner West.
Marrickville sits about 7 km south-west of the Sydney CBD on the northern bank of the Cooks River, and it is the largest suburb in the Inner West Council area. Marrickville Road is the main shopping strip, shaped by the Greek families who opened shops there after World War II, while Illawarra Road carries the Vietnamese bakeries, grocers and eateries that grew from the 1980s. South Marrickville’s light industrial streets now hold one of Sydney’s best known clusters of craft breweries, an easy destination for social club and corporate group outings.
Our bus hire Marrickville service covers transfers, return trips and multi-stop days for 12 to 62 passengers. Request a Marrickville quote →

Stations, Streets and Coach Access
Rail, Metro and Light Rail
The old Bankstown Line through Marrickville and Dulwich Hill reopened on 30 October 2026 as part of the Sydney Metro North West and Bankstown Line, running through Sydenham to the CBD. Sydenham station is also served by the T4 and T8 Sydney Trains lines, and the L1 light rail ends at Dulwich Hill. We also run shuttles and transfers and staff shuttles when services are disrupted.
Parking and Pick-ups
Illawarra Road, Marrickville Road and Enmore Road are busy shopping strips with kerbside parking, deliveries and heavy foot traffic. Many terrace streets nearby are too narrow for a full-size coach to stop or turn. When you book, we confirm a pick-up point that suits the vehicle, such as a wider side street or venue forecourt, and our drivers follow all signposted restrictions. For tight streets, two 24-seat Mitsubishi Rosas can work better than one 57-seat coach.
