Minibus FAQs

Can I drive a minibus on a normal car license?

It depends. If you’re driving for a commercial company, you’ll need a PCV or PSV license. However, under a Section 19 Permit, you can drive a minibus on a car license if you:

  • Are 21 or older (and meet medical standards if over 70)
  • Have had your license for at least 2 years
  • Are a volunteer driver (non-commercial)
  • Drive a minibus under 3.5 tons (or 4.25 tons with disability equipment)
  • Don’t tow a trailer.

If you got your license before January 1997, you might already have D1 entitlement, allowing you to drive up to 16 passengers.

What seating options are available?

We offer minibuses with 9, 15, and 17 seats. Our 17-seater minibuses come standard with wheelchair accessibility. When the wheelchair space is in use, the 17-seater can accommodate 13 passengers, plus the driver, and one wheelchair.

  • Handrails by the entrance door for easy and safe boarding
  • Fire extinguisher for emergency situations
  • First aid kit for immediate medical assistance if needed
  • Step edge moulding to reduce the risk of slipping
  • Emergency exit hammers for quick window exit in emergencies
  • Non-slip flooring throughout the vehicle
  • Wheelchair restraints to securely accommodate passengers with mobility devices
  • Seating lift and release red handle safety system for easy adjustment of seats
  • Rear door safety buzzer alarm to alert when the rear door is open
  • All required safety signs (e.g., emergency exit, break glass, disabled badge, weight limits)

These safety features are standard across all our minibuses, reflecting our commitment to providing safe and reliable transport for all passengers.
