Minibus

The YMCA Bournemouth mini bus is available for social purposes and can be picked up from St Christopher’s Church in Southbourne.

Details and Cost:

• 17 person capacity (including driver’s seat)
• £60.00 per day (plus replacing diesel used)

Driver Requirements:

A driver must be ‘named’ and this person must fulfil the following requirements:

• Unless the minibus is being used to transport children/young people or for commercial purposes, anyone awarded their driving licence prior to 1 January 1997 is likely to be able to drive the minibus without additional qualifications or permits. People awarded their licences after this date will probably need a ‘PCV licence’. However, the requirements are complicated so please read our Driver Requirements leaflet carefully. Please call us if you have questions.
• The Driver Safety Checklist must be completed.
• A scan or photocopy of the named driver’s driving licence (photo card only) will be required.
• We also need access to your driving licence details via the ‘share my driving licence’ website at gov.uk/view-driving-licence. Once the process is completed you’ll be given a ‘Check code’ to send to us.

Location

The minibus is based in the car park at St Christopher’s Church, Arnewood Road, Bournemouth BH6 5DW
