How much does it cost to rent a minibus without a driver?
The price of renting a minibus without a driver varies depending on size and standard. A 9-seater usually costs between NOK 2,000 and 4,000 per day, while a 16-19-seater is between NOK 4,000 and 8,000 per day. In addition, there are costs for gas, tolls and ferries.
The rental price often includes a certain number of kilometers, e.g. 100-300 km. If you drive longer, you have to pay extra per kilometer. Insurance and deductibles are also important to check. Most rental companies offer comprehensive insurance with a deductible of NOK 5,000-25,000 in the event of damage.
Some offer cancellation insurance and additional insurance for a higher excess. Check the conditions carefully before you book. Remember that a 25-year age limit and a minimum of 2 years’ driving experience are common. Some rental companies accept younger drivers for an additional fee.
What is included in the rental?
When you rent a minibus without a driver, the vehicle itself is included with the necessary equipment, such as seats with seat belts, heating, air conditioning and often a music system. You often pay a so-called “attendance fee” that covers pick-up and delivery of the minibus within a certain radius.
As a rule, you’ll receive the minibus with a full tank, and then it must be returned with a full tank again. The minibus is expected to be tidy and in the same condition as when you picked it up.
A certain amount of kilometers is often included. Beyond that, you have to pay a set rate per kilometer. Tolls, ferries, parking, etc. must be covered by the customer. Insurance is normally included, but the deductible may vary from company to company.

What types of minibuses can I rent?
There are several types of driverless minibuses available for hire, tailored to the size and needs of your group. The most common are:
- 8-seaters
- 9-seaters
- 16-17 seaters
Minibuses can also have different levels of equipment and facilities. Some are simple, while others may have extra comfort such as adjustable seats, refrigerators, light and sound systems, etc.
8-seater minibus rental without a driver
An 8-seater minibus is perfect for smaller groups going on a trip. It’s compact and easy to drive, but still has plenty of space for passengers and luggage. 8-seaters are often cheaper to rent than larger variants. Our network of rental companies across the country has a wide range of 8-seaters, both with and without extra comfort and equipment.
9-seater minibus rental without a driver
If you need a little extra space without going up to the largest minibuses, a 9-seater could be just the thing. It’s got one more seat than an 8-seater and therefore more space for people and luggage but is still agile in traffic and easy to maneuver. A 9-seater is a practical and affordable option for many. We’ll help you find a suitable 9-seater from quality-assured rental companies, whether you’re going on a company outing, a boys’/girls’ trip, a voyage of discovery or something else entirely.
17-seater minibus hire without a driver
With plenty of space and comfort for passengers, most models also have plenty of luggage space. Multiple seats offer opportunities to share costs. 17-seaters can be a little heavier to maneuver than the very smallest buses, and thus require the driver to have a class D1 driving license. Our partners offer a good selection of 17-seaters in different price ranges and equipment levels, so you can find one that suits your needs and budget.
When is a driverless minibus best suited?
Hiring a minibus without a driver is perfect for many occasions:
- Weddings: If you need transportation for your guests between the ceremony, dinner and party, a minibus rental can be convenient. It’s at your disposal and you have complete flexibility.
- Bachelor party: A minibus is brilliant for transporting your party safely between different locations at the bachelorette party. No need to drive yourself or take a taxi.
- Company tour: For team building or customer visits with up to 17 people on board, a minibus is a great choice. You travel together and only need one person to drive the minibus.
- Sporting events: Minibuses are great for transporting your team and supporters to and from a match, convention or cup some distance away.
- School trips: When the whole class or year group is going on a field trip, to a museum or visiting the theatre, it’s convenient to have a minibus and be able to control and organize the transport yourself.
- Boys’ trips/girls’ trips: Renting a minibus for a weekend trip to the cabin or a city weekend makes it easy to take the whole gang without anyone having to miss out because there aren’t enough seats.
Renting a minibus is suitable for all purposes as long as you’re a group going the same way. The cost per person is usually lower compared to other alternative transportation solutions.
What is there room for in a minibus?
A minibus can accommodate passengers and luggage, but the amount of luggage it can carry depends on the size of the bus. Larger minibuses usually have more luggage space than smaller ones.
In specially designed “party buses” with karaoke systems, refrigerators, lighting and sound systems, etc. there will be less space for luggage than in a standard minibus.
For airport transportation, you should choose a minibus with extra luggage capacity. Some rental companies also offer minibuses with a ski box or trailer to accommodate more equipment and luggage if needed.
