See how much MinibusLite could save you
MINIBUS LITE CAN SAVE YOU £900 PER PERSON IN FEES FOR A D1 LICENCE
Training and test fees for a D1 licence will cost approximately £900 per person, excluding at least two days out of the office.
The national pass rate for the D1 test is just 60% so there is no guarantee your investment will be worthwhile and there is a strong chance a re-test will be required. Multiply this sum for each employee and the figure quickly escalates.
Over 5 years the additional cost for training four members of staff per year could be in excess of £18,000 - nearly the cost of a new minibus.
Why Minibus Lite makes perfect sense
To drive the MINIBUS LITE you do not need a D1 licence (excluding
specification 2). So long as you meet the criteria detailed here you will have less restrictions and expense placed on your staff than the majority of school minibuses which require the driver to have D1 entitlement.
*the figure of £900 is an estimate based on the DSA test fees, the typical cost of a 2 day training course to prepare individuals for the test, and the cost to replace a member of teaching staff over the period.
