FAQ

Minibus Hire
Questions

Which seat count do I need?

If your group fits in 9 seats and you only have a standard car licence, the 9-seat minibus is the easy answer. For 10–17 passengers — sports teams, school trips, weddings, corporate tours — pick the smallest variant that comfortably fits your group plus luggage. We don't recommend cramming.

Do I need a D1 licence?

For our 9-seat minibus, no — a standard UK Category B licence is fine. For 12, 15, and 17-seat minibuses, the driver needs D1 entitlement. Drivers who passed their test before 1 January 1997 may have D1 automatically — check your licence's entitlements (back of card).

What documents do I need to hire a minibus?

Bring your full UK driving licence showing the appropriate D1 entitlement (for 12+ seats), a second form of ID (passport or recent bank statement), and two recent proofs of address (dated within 90 days). We'll run a DVLA licence check on arrival to confirm your D1 status before handing over keys.

Can I hire same-day?

Yes — we can usually get you away in around 15 minutes. Pick up the phone — 01664 563 275 — arrive with your documents, and we will have you on the road. Subject to availability.
