What is the definition of a Minibus?
A minibus is a vehicle usually between 9 and 16 seats plus a driver. If the vehicle has 8 seats, most insurers class this as a MPV, also known as a multi-purpose vehicle.
Do I require specialist Minibus Insurance to drive a minibus?
We have dealt with the UK’s market leading minibus Insurers for a number of years and have specialist team members trained at dealing with the complexities of Minibus Insurance and the Licence requirements. Minibus Insurance cannot be found on the online quote sites and requires a specialist Minibus Insurance broker to find you the correct cover. At Quotax we deal with a number of different Insurers so we can search the market and negotiate the best rates so you don’t have to.
Who can drive a minibus?
We would always ask clients to take guidance from the DVLA their website can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/driving-a-minibus
As long as the vehicle is not being used for ‘’hire or reward’’ i.e there is no payment from or behalf of the passengers the following conditions must be met:
- 21 years or more of age
- Full UK Driving Licence must be held for over 2 years.
- If you are over 70 you will need to meet the Group 2 Medical standards – Check with your GP if you are not sure whether you meet the standards.
- You must be driving the minibus on a voluntary basis and the minibus is used for social purposes by a non-commercial body.
- The minibus is less than 3.5 tonnes – or 4.25 tonnes including specialist equipment for disabled passengers, e.g a wheelchair ramp

What do I need to do if I want to drive a minibus for ‘’Hire and reward’’ or Private Hire?
If you wish to drive a minibus for Private Hire or commercially you need to apply for a Passenger Carrying Vehicle Licence (PCV Licence) more information can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/driving-a-minibus
You will also need a Public service vehicle (PSV) operator’s licence if you are operating a minibus for hire or reward that can carry 9 or more passengers.
What is a section 19 permit?
If you own or use a minibus and you are taking a contribution towards the cost of the journey in any way you will need a Section 19 Permit.
