What is a minibus?
A minibus – also called 9-seater, 12-seater or 17-seater – is the ideal solution for groups of 8 to 17 people. Typical models include Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, Ford Transit or Fiat Ducato in passenger configuration. With individual seating, A/C, accessible step-in and ample storage for luggage or sports gear, the minibus is far more comfortable than splitting a group across multiple cars. On Busly you'll find minibuses with driver (BKrFQG-certified) for every group occasion – from sports teams to family events.

From experience
When does a minibus make sense?
Four typical occasions for 8 to 17 passengers – from team travel to weekend tours with hiking groups.
BuslySports clubs and team travel
Youth football team, women's handball squad or volleyball team with coach and support staff – a 12-17 seater minibus brings the whole team to away matches or training camps.
Stag/hen parties and birthdays
A men's or women's group of 10-15 people heading to bowling, brewery tours or a city outing – in a minibus the group stays together, no one has to drive.
Family events and wedding guests
Extended family for a wedding, birthday gathering or funeral – the minibus moves the closest guests from church to venue, or from hotel to event location.
Weekend tours and day trips
Hiking group, photo club or senior gathering on a day trip – the minibus reaches remote trailheads, small villages and narrow mountain roads that coaches can't access.

Frequently asked questions about minibuses
Daily rates (with driver, approx. 8-9 hours) depending on size and route start at around €350-600. Half-day tours (4-5 h) from around €250. On Busly you see an instant direct price and can book directly – or compare individual offers for multi-day rentals.
For 12 passengers plus driver, we recommend a 17-seater for boarding comfort, luggage space and possibly an extra companion. A 9-seater only fits up to 8 passengers (plus driver).
Many minibuses have a tow hitch for sports trailers (gear, boats, equipment). Ski racks and bike racks should be flagged in your request – not every provider has them on every vehicle.

Complex Requirements?
Many trips at once, a shuttle at a fixed interval or a service running for weeks? That is what bus logistics is for: plan it all in one project and tender it to operators as a package.
