Other services

Minibus permits

add

A Section 19 (Transport Act 1985) permit allows a minibus to be operated for hire or reward by organisations concerned with education, religion, social welfare, recreation or other activities of benefit to the community on a non-profit basis. The driver of a section 19-permit minibus can be either a paid or unpaid volunteer.

Fleet Services no longer supplies section 19 minibus permits. You can apply for a permit online on GOV.UK.
