Transporting people safely, efficiently, and comfortably is essential for schools, charities, local authorities, businesses, sports teams, and care organisations. At Commercial Vehicle Contracts, we specialise in minibus leasing across the UK, providing flexible, cost-effective, and hassle-free solutions for every requirement.
Whether you need a compact 6-seater for small groups, a spacious 17-seater for larger teams, or a fully accessible minibus with wheelchair lifts and ramps, we have the expertise and resources to deliver the perfect solution.
Why Lease a Minibus?
Leasing a minibus provides flexibility, affordability, and convenience:
- Low initial outlay – Avoid large upfront costs.
- Fixed monthly payments – Budget-friendly and predictable.
- Upgrade options – Swap or upgrade vehicles as your needs evolve.
- Manufacturer Warranty – Brand-new vehicles: Manufacturer warranties provide reliability and peace of mind.
- Optional maintenance packages – Keep your minibus in peak condition with minimal hassle.
A maintained agreement looks after your vehicle’s routine servicing, tyres, MOTs and wear-and-tear repairs, while a manufacturer’s warranty covers faults caused by defects in materials or workmanship. If you’d like a clear, detailed breakdown of how they compare — and what each one includes — you can read our blog titled: ‘Maintenance vs Warranty: What’s the difference?’.
Leasing is perfect for organisations that need dependable transport without worrying about depreciation, ownership, or unexpected repairs.

Read our blog ‘Contract Hire vs Finance Lease – A complete guide to van leasing for UK businesses’ to discover the differences, advantages, and which option could work best for your business.
While minibus leasing and contract hire are our most popular options, we also offer hire purchase agreements designed for those who want to own the minibus rather than lease.
