Mini Buses
Mini buses can be an economical solution to a church's, or any other organization's group travel challenges. The 15 passenger mini bus does not require a special or commercial driver's license, making them a simple solution to perplexing travel plans that may include transporting a group of fifteen or less. Often churches or large membership organizations will own these to have on hand for their different ministries needs. These vehicles can also be leased for short or long time spans or journeys, giving churches the option of short-term rental expenses as compared to an investment of a new or used van.
Group travel can either be adventurous and exciting, or crowded and claustrophobic. If a group of fifteen or less are planning a mission trip or weekend retreat, these mini buses can be a wonderful answer to making the trip memorable and can actually be more economical than taking personal cars. The fact that they can be rented from a car or bus rental agency allowing short-term trips to be taken together is an added bonus. And a 15 passenger mini bus does not require a special driver's license to drive, so there is no need to hire a professional driver. Anyone who is a licensed and insured driver within any agency can drive them.
Purchasing versus renting may be an option that some churches want to consider. If a church is promoting programs that require travel, then investing in a mini bus might be a wise financial decision. There are new and used vehicles available on the market today. There are also agencies that rent mini buses, and these agencies will sometimes offer a used 15 passenger mini bus for sale at a special price to churches and non-profit organizations.
When using a vehicle that will seat up to fifteen people, an organization should be made fully aware of any safety risks involved. A 15 passenger mini bus has a larger wheel base than an average van, so drivers are encouraged to get information or training before driving any distance. It is recommended that only experienced drivers drive these vehicles. It is also advised that all passengers wear their seat belts at all times, to ensure the safety of each. Mini buses can certainly be a valid and economical means of travel, but consider every option available when taking the responsibility of transporting precious lives. "I sent him therefore the more carefully, that when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful." (Philippians 2:28)
