I think it’s fair to say that most of us would choose to drive a new school minibus, with no maintenance worries, rather than an old one.

I am pleased to say that both of those choices can be met through having a leased minibus that can come complete with a maintenance contract.

The great benefit of leasing is that the purchase of the bus doesn’t come in one lump from school funds. Rather the bus is paid for as it is used by the school.

Plus you can also opt for full maintenance of the minibus. Thus you have a professional undertake all the standard maintenance and servicing, effectively reducing the onus that is put on the person who is nominated in the school’s transport policy to look after the minibus.

So you get a double benefit. A new minibus which is less likely to have problems and you delegate the responsibility for maintenance to professionals.

Not only do the schools that use our service get a new minibus without having to use current capital to buy it, but they also get our certification that the bus has been checked by qualified engineers.

Given that the majority of school minibuses on the road are over five years old, this approach can be particularly valuable.
