How much does a 9-seater minibus with driver cost exactly?
Nine passengers fall into the minivan / minibus, 8 to 15 seats category, the first line of our price grid and the only one under the €500 mark. The table below puts the seven categories side by side: it is the right-hand column, the cost per passenger at full capacity, that explains why a 9-seater is not always the most economical choice.
| Vehicle | Seats | Price incl. VAT / day | Price per km | Cost per passenger at full capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minivan / Minibus | 8 – 15 | €350 | €1.50 – 2.50 | €23.33 |
| Midibus | 16 – 29 | €500 | €2.00 – 3.00 | €17.24 |
| Standard coach | 30 – 53 | €700 | €2.50 – 4.00 | €13.21 |
| Executive coach | 54 – 63 | €900 | €3.00 – 5.00 | €14.29 |
| High-capacity coach | 64 – 93 | from €900 | €3.00 – 5.00 | €9.68 |
| VIP / Luxury coach | 20 – 40 | €1,000 | €4.00 – 7.00 | €25.00 |
| Wheelchair-accessible bus — 4 to 5 wheelchairs per vehicle | 20 – 50 | €800 | €3.00 – 5.00 | €16.00 |
Indicative prices including VAT for a full-day hire, driver, fuel, tolls and insurance included. Above 93 passengers we put together a convoy of several vehicles, up to 1,000 passengers.
Day rate or per kilometre: at what distance does it tip over?
This is the question that moves the invoice the most, and it has a numerical answer. The day rate is €350 incl. VAT; the per-kilometre formula runs from €1.50 to €2.50 depending on the date and the route. The table gives the tipping point.
| Distance covered during the day | Per km at €1.50 | Per km at €2.50 | Day rate | Cheaper option |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 km | €75 | €125 | €350 | Per kilometre |
| 100 km | €150 | €250 | €350 | Per kilometre |
| 140 km | €210 | €350 | €350 | First tipping point |
| 200 km | €300 | €500 | €350 | Depends on the rate obtained |
| 233 km | €350 | €583 | €350 | Second tipping point |
| 300 km | €450 | €750 | €350 | Day rate |
How to read it: below 140 km in the day, per kilometre is always cheaper. Above 233 km, the day rate always is. In between, it depends on the per-kilometre rate obtained for your date — we price both and show you which one wins.

Minibus with unlimited mileage: what that means with us
The question comes up often and the honest answer fits in one line: unlimited mileage is the day rate. You pay €350 incl. VAT, the vehicle and its driver stay at your disposal, and the kilometres covered during the day do not change the price. That is the very definition of a full-day hire — not an extra to pay for.
| Day rate (“unlimited mileage”) | Per-kilometre formula | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | €350 incl. VAT | €1.50 to 2.50 / km |
| Kilometres included | All those of the day | The ones you declare |
| The vehicle waits on site | Yes | No, it leaves |
| Becomes the cheaper option | above 140 to 233 km | below 140 km |
| Programme changes along the way | No extra charge | Extra kilometres re-invoiced |
9, 12 or 15 passengers: the same price, not the same cost per person
The 8-to-15-seat category is hired at the same rate of €350 incl. VAT per day, whether you are 9 or 15. Filling the vehicle is therefore the most direct lever on the cost per person — and above 15, the midibus mechanically beats two minibuses.
| Group | Vehicle | Price incl. VAT / day | Cost per passenger |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 passengers | Minibus 8-15 | €350 | €38.89 |
| 12 passengers | Minibus 8-15 | €350 | €29.17 |
| 15 passengers | Minibus 8-15 | €350 | €23.33 |
| 16 passengers | Midibus 16-29 | €500 | €31.25 |
| 18 passengers | 2 × Minibus 8-15 | €700 | €38.89 |
| 18 passengers | 1 Midibus 16-29 | €500 | €27.78 — €200 less |
| 29 passengers | Midibus 16-29 | €500 | €17.24 |
The line that matters: at 18 passengers, a single midibus at €500 costs €200 less per day than two minibuses at €350, with one driver and one meeting point. Worth remembering if your group is just above 15.
