There are many minibus sizes available - from small 8 seater models to larger 17 seaters.
We typically offer Contract Hire agreements from 2 to 5 years.
It can take up to a year to receive a new minibus, so we recommend ordering in plenty of time. There may be batches of pre-built vehicles available (known as 'stock' vehicles), subject to economic factors.
Anyone with a valid UK car driving licence (over 21 years of age, and under 70) can drive one of our Lightweight Minibus options, which don't require a D1 licence. For any other lightweight options, please speak to our experts who can advise which ones you qualify for.
Other minibuses can only be driven by those who hold a D1 licence - we can arrange the training for you, should you wish to acquire this type of licence.
Yes, a minibus will require an MOT every 12 months from new. We will remind you of this in plenty of time prior to the MOT expiry date.
When you take out a Contract Hire agreement, the rental you agree to will be based on the number of miles you drive the minibus. Exceeding this total contract mileage may incur Excess Mileage fees, which will be set out in your agreement before you commit.
Yes, most minibuses can be adapted to accommodate wheelchair passengers. Please discuss this with us at the point of quoting so that we can arrange for the necessary conversions and cost inclusions.
