D1 Category should not be shown on a licence dated after the first of Jan 1997 and as a result the holder is not able to drive a minibus without undergoing additional training and passing an additional driving test geared toward minibus driving. An exception does exists for holders of a full category B (car) driving licence which upon meeting a set of conditions detailed below will entitle the holder to drive a vehicle that has a maximum of 16 passenger seats.

Driving licence held before 1st January 1997.

If you passed your car driving test before 1 January 1997, you automatically gained a licence with Category B and D1 entitlement, or Groups A and B on older licences, qualifying you to drive minibuses as well as private cars

Factors that effect the cost of Insurance

A sure way to bring down the likelihood of accidents and as a result your insurance is to take or send your drivers on an approved minibus driver compliance course.

  • Driver's 25 or under will pay extra as this age group make more claims and the actual claim amount in monetary terms are larger than if over 25. The underwriter adjusts the quotes for under 25's to reflect the increased risk
  • The cost to repair utility vehicle does vary with some being more expensive than others depending on the manufacturer. This along with the purchase cost play a factor in determining your risk level. The more expensive your vehicle category is to replace or fix the higher the premium. Spend time reviewing what different manufactures have to offer to find the best vehicle for your requirements.
  • The more seats the more expensive insurance will be. With this fact if you are sure you will only ever need 9 seates then buy a people carrier with only 9 seats.
  • Security: Can you provide secure overnight parking? Have you fitted industry approved alarm systems? If the answer is yes then this will be reflected positively in your quote.
  • The drivers history: A good history of no claims will normally lead to a discounted quote.
  • Excess Amount: Raising the excess amount will also lead to a better quote from the broker.

Typical Exclusions that may apply are as follows:

  • If the vehicle is damaged or stolen by a careless act of the owner. Example leaving keys in ignition or visible to prying eyes
  • Damage caused by a driver that is not listed on the policy documents
  • Using the minibus for purposes other than included in the insurance
  • Losing the keys.
