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.
