Mini Bus Hire

We offer the hiring of a 15-seat capacity Minibus with wheelchair accessible to any group as long as the drivers hold a current MiDAS certificate. If you don’t have a MiDAS certificate please click here to find out how you can obtain one.

Making a Booking

You can make a booking by either telephoning at: 01851 702632
or calling in to our offices at: 30 Francis Street, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, HS1 2ND

You will be asked for group name, contact telephone number and the dates on which you wish to hire the bus. We will also ask you about special requirements i.e. if you need us to remove seats to enable wheelchair access. Once we receive the necessary information you will then be sent a letter confirming your booking details. 

Before the Hire

If it’s the first time you have driven our bus you will be taken on a short drive to familiarise yourself with the bus.

The Minibus Log which comes with the Minibus Driver’s Pack must be read before commencement of the hire of the vehicle, all relevant forms must be completed and all hire regulations detailed in the Driver’s Pack must be strictly adhered to. The Transport Coordinator will go through the form you are required to complete with you. The Minibus Driver’s Pack is located in the front of the Minibus.

After the Hire

On completion of the hire, the Minibus must be returned to Third Sector Hebrides premises and any fuel used must be replaced. If you fail to do so, the cost will be added to your invoice. You will also be invoiced for repairing any damage or excessive cleaning costs.

Cancelling the Booking

Wherever possible 5 working days should be given for any cancellations otherwise a fee of 50% of the total hire charge will be levied.
