Self-Drive Minibus Hire in Truro
Self-drive minibus hire puts you in control. Pick up the vehicle, drive your group wherever you need to go, and return it when you are done. It is the most flexible and often cheapest option for group transport in Truro and across South West.
Self-Drive Minibus Hire Prices in Truro
Self-drive minibus hire in Truro typically costs £80-£150 per day for a 9-seater and £120-£200 per day for a 12-17 seater. Weekend rates may be higher. Most companies require a deposit of £200-£500 and you must be aged 25+ with a full UK driving licence held for at least 2 years. Some companies charge extra for additional drivers. Fuel is your responsibility — vehicles are supplied with a full tank and should be returned full.
What Licence Do I Need?
For minibuses up to 9 seats (including driver), a standard category B car licence is sufficient. For 10-16 seat minibuses, you need a D1 licence. If you passed your car test before 1 January 1997, you automatically have D1 on your licence. If you passed after that date, you will need to take a separate D1 test, or you can drive a minibus under Section 19 permit rules for non-commercial purposes. Always check your licence before booking.
Tips for Self-Drive Minibus Hire
Book early, especially for weekends and holidays when self-drive minibuses in Truro are in high demand. Check the insurance excess — it can be £500-£1,000 on some policies. Consider purchasing the hire company's excess reduction cover. Inspect the vehicle thoroughly at collection and photograph any existing damage. Check tyre pressures and ensure you know where the spare tyre and jack are. Drive carefully — minibuses handle differently from cars, especially in crosswinds and when fully loaded.
