Can I drive a minibus on a normal car licence in Darwin?
It depends. If you hold a standard C-class licence, you’re legally allowed to drive a small passenger bus with up to 12 seats in the NT. Once the vehicle exceeds 12 seats, including the driver, you’ll need at least an LR licence. Adding a trailer may also require an LR or above, depending on weight and local regulations.
What do I need to hire a minibus in Darwin?
Drivers must be at least 21 and carry a full, unrestricted licence. Visitors from overseas should bring an International Driving Permit or an officially translated licence along with their passport. Have your booking details and payment card ready, and the pickup process is usually quick and straightforward.
Can I book a long-term minivan rental in Darwin?
Absolutely. Minibuses can be hired for extended periods, including rentals longer than a month. This works well for long projects, seasonal tourism work, ongoing work needs or when your own vehicle is off the road. Long-term bookings also give you steady costs and reliable access to the same vehicle.
What safety tips should I know about driving a minibus?
Minibuses are heavier than a regular car, so they take longer to brake and require gentler cornering. Leave plenty of space, slow down early and stick to posted limits. With extra passengers chatting behind you, it’s easy to get distracted, so stay focused until you’ve safely parked. Also, check mirrors and blind spots carefully, as visibility differs from standard vehicles.
