About Castle Minibus

Castle Minibus have been providing vehicles to the education sector for nearly 25 years. We are unique in our attitude to safety and compliance, choosing to only supply the safest vehicles, using the highest qualified instructors and providing compliance services and accredited courses. Everything we do is designed to protect schools’ budgets, times, staff and pupils.

As the market leader, we will continue to develop and invest in new and innovative products and services to deliver the best we can for our customers throughout the UK

Why Castle?

Castle Minibus remains staggered at the amount of schools sold vehicles that they later discover are not fit for purpose because of weight or licensing issues.

Schools have very high profiles in their communities. Teachers, governors, parents and children should feel immensely proud and safe when out and about in their minibuses and confident in the knowledge they’re as safe as they can be.

Castle provides the very best vehicles, service, short-term hire, driver training, advice and training to our clients, we don’t just hand over the keys and hope for the best.

Champions of Minibus Safety

Castle are partnered with the likes of the RAC and approved by RoSPA for different projects to raise the standards of school’s compliance, vehicle safety and standard of drivers.
