Why a 17-Seater Minibus is Great for School Field Trips
School field trips are integral to the educational experience, offering students the chance to learn outside the classroom and engage with the world around them. When it comes to transportation, a 17-seater minibus stands out as an ideal choice for such excursions. At CVM World we manufacture, sell, contract hire, lease and rent the very best minibuses in the UK.
Ample Seating Capacity
A 17-seater minibus provides enough space to comfortably accommodate a typical class size along with teachers and chaperones. This eliminates the need for multiple vehicles, ensuring that the group stays together and making coordination easier. Choose from removable seats to provide wheelchair access for added flexibility.
Enhanced Safety Features
Our Stellantis Group (Peugeot, Vauxhall, Citroen, Fiat) 17-seater minibuses are equipped with advanced safety features including seat belts for all passengers, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), and electronic stability control. Some models also come with additional safety measures like lane departure warning systems and multiple airbags. These features ensure the safety of both students and staff during the trip.
Comfortable and Spacious Interiors
Field trips often involve long drives. A 17-seater minibus offers comfortable seating with ample legroom, ensuring that students remain comfortable throughout the journey. Many models also come with air conditioning, heating systems, and even entertainment options like DVD players, making the trip enjoyable and stress-free. At CVM World our minibuses come with added insulation and are fully carpeted for noise suppression and to retain heat.
Cost-Effective
Renting, owning or leasing a 17-seater minibus can be more cost-effective than hiring multiple smaller vehicles or larger buses. It strikes a balance between capacity and cost, making it an economical choice for schools with budget constraints.
Eco-Friendly Options
At CVM World we now offer eco-friendly minibus models, including hybrid and electric options from Peugeot and Maxus. These vehicles not only help schools reduce their carbon footprint but also teach students the importance of sustainable practices.
Professional Image
A sign written 17-seater minibus can enhance the professional image of the school or club. It reflects a commitment to providing safe, reliable, and comfortable transportation for students, which can be appealing to parents and guardians. It also serves as a mobile billboard.
Versatility and Flexibility
A 17-seater minibus is versatile enough to be used for a variety of school activities beyond field trips. From sports events to inter-school competitions and educational tours, this size vehicle is adaptable to many different needs. Its flexibility makes it a valuable asset for any school. Our easy to clean flooring is perfect for school sports teams and removal seats can provide an area for additional kit.
Ease of Supervision
Supervising a large group of students is challenging, but a single minibus makes it easier for teachers and chaperones to keep an eye on everyone. The confined space ensures that all students are within sight, reducing the risk of anyone getting lost or left behind. At CVM World you can specify onboard CCTV, seatbelt sensors for all seats and other safety features.
Convenient Storage Space
At CVM World our 17-seater minibuses come with adequate storage space for bags, equipment, and other necessities. This ensures that all required materials for the field trip can be transported without cluttering the seating area, maintaining comfort and organization. Clever ideas like dome storage come as standard.
