Professional Driver Cover for Your Group Vehicle

Your vehicle. Our driver. Less stress for everyone.

Need a qualified driver for your minibus?

Some organisations already own, lease, borrow or hire a minibus, but do not always have the right driver available when a journey comes up.

Kytrix supplies the professional driver only. Your organisation keeps responsibility for the vehicle, insurance, permit or licensing position, passengers and the journey.

It can help with school trips, sports fixtures, youth groups, airport runs, events, community outings and staff shuttles, especially when organisers need to stay focused on people rather than the road.

Important responsibilities

Clear compliance, without the drama

This page is intentionally plain about who is responsible for what. It protects your organisation, your passengers and the driver.

Your organisation remains responsible for
  • The vehicle
  • Insurance
  • Permits or licensing position
  • Passenger supervision
  • Safeguarding arrangements
  • Vehicle condition and maintenance
  • Risk assessments where required
Kytrix does not
  • Supply the vehicle
  • Become the legal operator
  • Take over safeguarding responsibilities
  • Act as permit holder
  • Provide passenger assistants unless agreed
  • Accept unsafe or unsuitable vehicles

Important Compliance Note

Driver Only is not vehicle hire and does not make Kytrix the legal operator of your vehicle. Before accepting a booking, we need to understand the vehicle, insurance, permit or licensing position and safeguarding arrangements. If something is unclear, we'll say so calmly and help you work out the next sensible step.
