How Much Does 16 Seater Minibus Hire Cost?
The cost of hiring a 16-seater minibus in Yorkshire depends on whether you hire with a driver or self-drive, the distance and duration, and the specific operator. With a driver, expect to pay around £180-£350 for a full day hire within Yorkshire. Self-drive 16-seater minibuses typically cost £130-£220 per day. Longer journeys or multi-day hires are usually better value per day. Most operators offer free, no-obligation quotes.
With Driver or Self-Drive?
Most 16-seater minibus hire in Yorkshire comes with a professional driver included. This is the most convenient option as you can relax and enjoy the journey without worrying about navigation, parking or driving restrictions. Self-drive 16-seater minibuses are available but you will need a D1 category on your driving licence (standard for anyone who passed their test before January 1997). If your driver passed their test after this date, consider a smaller vehicle or hire with a driver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special licence to drive a 16-seater minibus?▼
Yes. To drive a 16-seater minibus you need a D1 category on your driving licence. If you passed your driving test before 1 January 1997, this is likely already included. Otherwise, you will need to take an additional test or hire a minibus with a driver.
How much luggage space does a 16-seater have?▼
Most 16-seater minibuses have a separate luggage compartment or dedicated space at the rear. For trips with a lot of luggage (such as airport transfers), let the operator know in advance so they can provide a vehicle with adequate storage.
