In an ideal world I suspect that most schools would much prefer to buy a complete minibus package rather than shopping around for the individual elements that are required to keep the vehicle running – a maintenance programme, breakdown cover, road tax…
Yet, for many schools this is not a viable option as buying a complete package is typically much more expensive than a school budget will permit.
Benchmark have, however, designed a minibus leasing package especially for schools, and at a very reasonable price, where all you need to add is fuel and an insured/licensed driver.
And it is an option that can also work out to be much cheaper than buying a minibus outright (especially if one takes into account the re-sale value) or hiring a coach each time you need transport.
Options and details of the leasing packages that Benchmark offer are as follows…
Ford Transit Minibus 15 seat, Trend Model:
Contact Hire with Full Maintenance, Breakdown Cover and Road Tax
3 Years, 30,000 Total Miles gives Monthly Rentals of £330.88 + VAT
4 Years, 30,000 Total Miles gives Monthly Rentals of £313.37 + VAT
Ford Transit Minibus 17 seat, Trend Model:
Contact Hire with Full Maintenance, Breakdown Cover and Road Tax
3 Years, 30,000 Total Miles gives Monthly Rentals of £372.41 + VAT
4 Years, 30,000 Total Miles gives Monthly Rentals of £343.57 + VAT
Both packages outlined above include air conditioning, metallic paint (if required), heated front screen, electric mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, and fog lamps.
The leasing package/contract also includes routine servicing, replacement of worn tyres, replacement of worn brakes, repair of the exhaust, repair of the battery, delivery and collection for pre-booked servicing, breakdown cover, and road tax for the full term of the agreement.
The payment profile is 3 months initial payment upon delivery with 1 payment per month for the remainder of the lease term.
What’s more, we are able to value and dispose of older minibuses and can either pay the proceeds to the school or use it as a higher initial payment on the new leased minibus thereby reducing the ongoing payments.
