An online version of the application form that can be printed off, filled in, and sent to us at the address in the contact us section is available in our Resources section, as well as some government advice on driving minibuses.
Short Period Minibus Insurance
Our short period minibus insurance is ideal for groups hiring or borrowing a minibus either to weekend camps or on longer expeditions. No more ringing around parents to find enough spare seats to transport your Scouts and Cubs to and from camp, when you couldn’t get a minibus because of insurance issues.
Short period minibus cover is provided on a fully comprehensive basis for up to 3, 7, 14 and 21 days.
