How much is minibus insurance?

Minibus insurance has no fixed price. It depends on who drives, whether passengers pay, the number of seats and the value of the vehicle, your drivers’ ages and experience, your mileage and your claims history.

Who drives

Volunteer drivers, named staff and professional paid drivers are rated very differently.

Whether passengers pay

Hire and reward work costs more than free transport for your own members.

Seats and value

A 17 seat minibus with a lift is worth more, and costs more to insure, than a 9 seater.

Group of people of different ages.

Drivers’ ages

Insurers set minimum ages and experience, and younger drivers push the price up.

Mileage and trips

Local runs are cheaper than long trips, and travel abroad needs declaring.
