Our free, no-obligation school minibus audit (available to any organisation running fleets of minibuses) is designed to help those running a fleet of minibuses identify any inefficiencies, identify any gaps in compliance, and plan for the future of their transportation.

If you answer yes to any of the following questions, then our free minibus audit is for you.

  • Are you concerned about the costs of an ageing fleet? Increased maintenance, 6-week safety inspections and ULEZ charges?
  • Are your minibuses from different lenders, causing confusion when there are issues?
  • Are you wondering if replacing some minibuses with 9 seaters would be more cost-effective?
  • Are your drivers predominantly B1 licence holders, but your minibuses require a D1?
  • Are you struggling to find quality MiDAS and D1 Driver training?
  • Do you think a fully maintained leasing contract might save you money and help avoid unexpected costs?
  • Are you thinking that buying a used vehicle outright might be a better option than leasing?
  • Are you a vehicle short but don’t know whether to lease, purchase or hire?
  • Would on-site safety inspections for all your minibuses save you time and money?
  • Would you like some comparative quotes just to see if you can make any savings with different scenarios?
