Why is the national fleet of school minibuses growing at such a rate – and how are schools managing to finance such growth?

According to recent surveys one of the main reasons for the recent growth in the number of school minibuses is that schools are acquiring them in order to connect with other schools.

Schools have reported that they derive huge benefits from having closer links with other schools, whether it is a case of playing competitive sport, participating in a unified schools’ orchestra, or sharing the use of the facilities at a neighbouring school (be it a gym or top of the range D&T equipment).

And as this interchange between schools becomes increasingly popular, more school minibuses are needed to cater for this demand.

Furthermore, schools are finding it easier now than ever to finance their school minibus thanks to the various leasing arrangements that are now available and which enable them to avoid having to make a large upfront payment.

Benchmark Leasing offers schools the option to lease a minibus, which has proven for many to be cheaper than making an outright purchase (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).

What’s more, Benchmark Leasing offer a full maintenance programme, so no matter the outcome of the vehicle’s services and MOTs, the cost of repairs won’t affect the lease price.
