A fixed monthly payment will take the pressure off budgeting for your minibus maintenance, and our free course is a starting point for effective minibus management.

Show off your new school minibus

Rivervale Minibus offers a range of options to increase minibus safety, from driver training options to the advanced Minibus Management Course. For schools and organisations running under a Section 19 Permit, completing the Minibus Management Course is proof of your commitment to minibus compliance and safety. Parents will be reassured that their children will be safe and well cared for on the school minibus, which is roadworthy and being driven under the correct permits by staff with the correct licenses.
