Can I drive a Minibus? Do I need a Minibus licence?

Let us explain – The law relating to the driving of a D1 minibus is quite complex and can be confusing. We have tried to simplify it but please visit www.gov.uk/driving-a-minibus for a more comprehensive explanation.

If you passed your car test before 1st January 1997 you already hold the Category D1 minibus entitlement but with the 101 restriction on it – ‘not for hire or reward’.

So if you want to earn money by driving a D1 minibus as a job you will have to

  • Call NDC – book your course
  • Complete Minibus driver training,
  • Pass the driving test and earn your the CPC qualification.
