No one argues about the benefit of having a minibus – or indeed even a second or third minibus for the school.

From transporting students from outlying villages to taking sports teams to away fixtures, the reasons for use are as many and varied as there are schools with minibuses.

But there is always the issue of costs – and the knowledge that the minibus will, after a number of years solid use, start to show its age and become costly to repair.

Which is why leasing appeals. For not only is there no need for a major upfront payment, but also the subsequent budgeting of the costs works from a pre-planned set of arrangements, that incorporates not only the lease, but also all the servicing and repair costs.

Of course there are other benefits. A new minibus works wonders in impressing parents – including those who are thinking of sending their children to the school (don’t forget to put the new bus on display on open days!)

And then there is the safety issue – by definition a new vehicle is safer than an old one, as more and more safety features are built into vehicles all the time.

Now that is a fairly long list of benefits already – but it is by no means complete, for minibus leasing also ensures that the road fund licence is renewed at the right time, that the MOT is taken care of when that comes around, and that break down cover is always incorporated into the arrangements.

Of course you’ll have your own requirements for your bus, and we can work to these to ensure you can obtain the minibus that most suits your needs.

For example, if you already have a 17 seater bus, you might opt for a 9 seater as the follow up. Disabled access is important, but given the requirements of those in your school, you might not need full disabled facilities in each minibus.

However you want to proceed, whatever you need the bus for, whether it is the first, second or third in your fleet, leasing allows you to obtain the bus you want, now, and a clear knowledge of the funding that is involved.
