Appendix 1
Minibus Permit Requirements

Yes

It is unlikely that a PSV Operators licence permit will be required. A Section 19 permit maybe required. Holders of an appropriate valid drivers licence (see relevant section) can drive the minibus.

No

A PSV Operators Licence and a PCV (Category D) drivers licence will probably be required.

No

Either a Section 19 permit or a PSV operators licence will be required. If valid, a Section 19 Permit will avoid the need to obtain a PSV operators licence. Section 19 permit minibuses maybe driven with appropriate valid driving licence (see relevant Section).

Is the vehicle being used by a body concerned with education, religion, social welfare or other activities for the benefit of the community on a non-profit making basis ?

Yes

Is the vehicle being used for ‘Hire and Reward’ ? **

** = 	‘Hire and Reward’ is defined as ‘any sort of payment which gives a person a right to be carried on a vehicle regardless of whether a profit is made or not’.

You should contact the University Safety Adviser if you are unsure if the use of the minibus may constitute ‘For Hire and Reward’.
