Rivervale is the new home of Castle Minibus and are the UK's leading provider of minibuses and associated safety and maintenance services. We not only lease, hire and sell new and used minibuses to the education sector, churches, sports clubs, scouting organisations and similar - we also provide a range of services to support the safe and legal management and driving of those vehicles.
Minibus Safety Inspections are a legal requirement under a Section 19 Permit and we complete over 50,000 safety inspections a year with our mobile engineer partners. Details of your inspections and maintenance are now included in your Section 19 Permit - please get in touch if you've questions or concerns about safety inspections.
