Why Hire A Minibus Lite For Your School?

1 minute read time

One of the biggest benefits of a lighter minibus is it uses less fuel

You also have less restrictions when it comes to choice of driver. It can also be driven by staff who have an ordinary driving licence for a car.

You won’t need to pay for a D1 licence in order to take pupils on field trips or to and from home. Unsurprisingly, this makes it an increasingly popular option.

A D1 licence can be highly expensive (training alone costs around £900 per person), not to mention the fact it’s time consuming to procure. Because the national pass rate for this type of licence is only 60%, many people have to pay for more than one test.

When you hire one of our Minibus Lite vehicles for your school, you also won’t have to worry about maintenance or repairs.

GM Select has the only lightweight school minibus to pass rigorous and stringent European testing. The Minibus Lite has achieved European Whole Vehicle Type Approval and is used by schools and colleges across the UK.

All our vehicles have been thoroughly tested and are highly safe.
