Purchasing a minibus costs money, lots and lots of money. Money that most schools just don’t have. Not now, not next week, not the week after…

And indeed, after taking into account the additional maintenance costs that come with the responsibility of owning a minibus, even considering such a purchase is unimaginable for most schools.

Which is why we have developed and introduced a facility to lease minibuses to schools.

It is an arrangement which very often makes it possible for schools to fund the minibus through a small payment each month – and, I am delighted to say, it has been an enormous success with well over 150 minibuses supplied through our facilities since we launched the scheme.

In some cases, where trips are paid for by contributions from parents and the PTA, it is possible to allocate a part of those contributions towards the cost of the minibus, thereby reducing the funds being deducted from the school’s capital account.

One of the other main attractions of leasing a minibus from us seems to be that schools don’t have to worry about maintenance as the contract requires us to keep the vehicle fully operational at all times.

A new minibus is a valuable asset which enables the school to arrange beyond the classroom activities and is also a statement to prospective parents about the breadth and scope of the school’s vision.
