Minibuses Suitable To Drive With a B1 Licence.. read more

A B1 License is a normal car license which allows you to drive any minibus regardless of passengers up to 3.5 tonne. These vehicles are generally classed as an M1 vehicle which is normal classification for a car.

The range of B1 minibuses generally include 8 or 9 seats including the driver however there are some exceptions, so if you're looking for minibuses you can drive with a B1 licence you're in the right place!

Larger buses and minibuses require a D category licence, however we’ve got more lightweight models of up to 8-9 passengers suitable for B1 licence holders.

When you need extra room for a few more passengers, our B1 licence minibus leasing gives you access to a range of larger vehicles that are still flexible and adaptable. Suited to a range of needs, from transporting clients to larger families, these lightweight minibuses offer increased space while still providing a car-like driving experience.

Whether you work in events, transporting your sports club or simply need to fit the whole family, we can help you source the ideal passenger vehicle for your needs.

For a highly versatile people-mover that’s spacious and includes built-in practical solutions, opt for the Toyota Proace Verso. Designed with all the comfort you’d expect from a car and well-suited to active outings, it’s a safe and reliable drive equipped with an advanced diesel engine.

With front-wheel-drive and twin side load doors, the Renault Traffic is another great option. With trims to suit either business or sport, it’s an attractive transport for teams or a large family. It features a range of handy tech features and ample storage for suitcases and equipment.

With its outstanding comfort levels, the Ford Tourneo Custom provides a premium experience for a refined people-carrier that’s a cut above the rest. With its EcoBlue engine, smart-drive assist features and flexible seating configurations, the Tourneo is a class-leader that’s sure to impress.

Browse our full selection to find your perfect people-carrier.
