Can I legally drive this minibus?

Many commercial business operate an employee transport service using their own minibuses.

However, there are two separate types of operation here, and if you are found to be driving a minibus with the incorrect licence you and the minibus owner could be liable to prosecution.

A commercial business who charged their employees a fare to use the minibus would be classed as "hire and reward", and therefore the driver would be treated as if they were working for a commercial business (if you intend or currently drive a minibus under these conditions, click this link)

On the other hand if a commercial business bore the total cost of operating the minibus themselves and provided transport to their employees for FREE, then this would not be classed as "hire and reward". (if you intend or currently drive a minibus under these conditions, please continue)

Question: Do you have a PCV D or D1 category on your licence,
obtained by passing a separate driving test ?
