What is the best way to budget for the cost of maintenance and repairs for the school minibus’?

The wheels on the bus go round and round. Round and round. Round and round. The wheels on the bus go round and round, all day long.

The horn on the bus goes beep. The wipers on the bus go swish. The windows on the bus go up and down…

Until, of course, the wheels, horn, wipers, windows, or, indeed, any other part of the school minibus stop working. Which causes a problem when the part failure means that the minibus is out of service, waiting for money to be allocated for its repair.

When leasing a minibus with Benchmark a full maintenance programme is included, so no matter the outcome of the vehicle’s services and MOTs, the cost of repairs won’t affect the lease price.

What’s more, leasing from Benchmark has proven time and again to be cheaper than buying a minibus outright (especially if one takes into account the re-sale value of a school bus at the end of its working life) or hiring a coach each time.

It is an arrangement which makes it possible for schools to fund the minibus through a small payment each month, which has the added benefit of improved budgeting and cash flow forecasting.

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