Visit Rivervale at the Nursery Managers Show, stand H34

Rivervale provides leasing, purchasing, servicing and vehicle management for cars, vans and minibuses. The new home of Castle Minibus, Rivervale provides all you need for affordable and efficient minibus and vehicle management including a wide range of vehicles, safety inspections, driver training, driver risk assessments and education on minibus or vehicle management.
Looking for a smaller vehicle?
We have a wide range of 8- and 9-seater cars available for the nursery sector who might want something smaller and more comfortable that can be driven on a standard car licence and don’t require D1 entitlement to drive or a Section 19 Permit.
Need wheelchair accessibility?
We have lots of options for wheelchair accessibility on all sizes of vehicles. The Maxus Deliver9 is available with wheelchair access as a 9 seat or without at a 14 seat. Speak to Rivervale about what you need and we will make sure we find you the right vehicle.
Making Minibus Manageable
Running a fleet, and managing drivers and vehicles is no easy task and it extends way beyond completing the initial purchase or lease agreement. There is a lot to organise, plan, monitor and record to comply with the requirements of the Section 19 Permit. If you have minibuses (9+ seats) then 10-week minibus safety inspections completed by qualified engineers are a requirement under Section 19 Permit and our UK-wide fleet of engineers will complete these inspections at your premises.
Lease a brand-new vehicle or purchase a quality used vehicle
If you are looking to lease a brand new minibus Rivervale has a wide range available, including the Ford Transit 17 seat Euro 6. We are also uniquely placed to offer ex-lease vehicles for sale, most with a single previous owner that we will have fully maintained from new. All our used vehicles come with an RAC warranty, breakdown cover, year’s MOT and full service, livery and logo.
Driver training
Rivervale delivers both MiDAS and one-to-one D1 driver training as well as an online risk assessment tool that offers additional driver training.
With every vehicle leased, purchased or hired from Rivervale we give customers free access to our Minibus Management Course, so they have the knowledge they need to confidently run their fleet under a Section 19 Permit. For more information, please visit Rivervale.co.uk/minibus, email [email protected] or call 01869 253744.
