What kind of licence do I need to operate a minibus?
Drivers intending to operate a minibus must hold a full category D1 driving licence. In addition, drivers operating minibuses for hire and reward must also hold a public service vehicle (PSV) operator’s licence from a local authority.
Not-for-profit organisations such as schools and charities may be able to operate minibuses without a PSV operator’s licence if they hold a Section 19 permit.
If you’re still unsure about the type of licensing you need, get in touch with our team of experts who can assist you with any questions you have.
Can you cover multiple vehicles?
Yes, we can cover multiple vehicles. The insurers we work with can offer cover for one vehicle, along with offering multi-vehicle policies and insurance for Minibus Fleets.
Will my Minibus Insurance policy include Public Liability Insurance?
Public Liability covers drivers if their actions injure a member of the public, a passenger, or damage the passenger's property as a result of an accident not directly involving the insured vehicle.
Whether or not Public Liability is included in your policy depends on the insurer. It can be a paid optional extra, or you may need a separate standalone policy if it’s a contract requirement.
Should you have any further questions about Public Liability Insurance, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today. Our team of experts can help you with any queries you have.

We can take into account No Claims Discounts from previous Minibus Insurance policies to get you discounts from the specialist insurers that we work with.
If you take out Minibus Insurance through us, and if you are claim-free through the policy, you will earn no claims discount at the renewal of your insurance.
