About 12 Seater Minibus Hire
A 12-seater minibus is one of the most versatile and popular group hire sizes in the UK. Whether you are coordinating a school outing, a sports club away day, a corporate team event, or a large family celebration, a 12-seater gives you comfortable, cost-effective group transport.
Vehicles in this class include the Ford Transit Minibus, Mercedes Sprinter Minibus, and Volkswagen Crafter Shuttle. All feature forward-facing seats with individual seatbelts, good luggage space to the rear, and are suitable for motorway journeys.
Drivers must hold a Category D1 licence entitlement for true 12-seater minibuses (over 8 passenger seats). Licences gained before January 1997 often include D1. Please call us for advice on licence requirements specific to the vehicle.
