MINIBUS

Top Gear minibus training
Comprehensive minibus driver training

If you are planning on driving a minibus (from 9 - 16 passengers, 17 with the driver) for hire and reward you will require a professional D1 licence. The first step to gaining your new licence is to contact our customer care team and book a medical with licence application. Are you looking for more information on gaining your D1 licence? Contact our dedicated customer care team today.
Can I drive a minibus without having to take the D1 test?

If you hold a pre-1997 licence you are able to drive a D1 minibus for your own use or voluntary service, however you are not allowed to drive for hire or reward (restriction code 101), voluntary service (with no payment) would be allowed. Example, (church group/ family group) with no payment taken. Interested in minibus driver training? Contact our dedicated team today.
Completing your D1+E

Whether you have just passed your D1 test and want to take your D1+E test straight away, or you have been driving a minibus for a while and now want to upgrade your licence, Top Gear can help. Your D1+E test ensures you can drive a minibus with a trailer. Your training will be completed quickly and efficiently. Airport transfer companies and minibus tours are both enhanced by a driver with a D1+E licence.
