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:

- 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.
