Rent a bus without a driver

We operate with 45 to 60 vehicles. We offer the full range, from 7-seat vans to coaches with up to 55 seats. In between, you'll also find a large number of minibuses and midibuses with 10-28 seats. Divided into three comfort classes: Standard, Business, and VIP.

Every vehicle is insured with comprehensive, third-party liability, and passenger coverage. The comprehensive deductible (CHF 2000) and the third-party liability deductible (CHF 1000) can be reduced with additional insurance, which can be ordered when booking the vehicle. Details here: https://busmiete.ch/bus-ohne-fahrer-mieten/versicherung/

In brief, the following applies to self-drivers (according to Swiss and EU law): 

Driving license category: 
Category B:     Up to 8+1 seats
Category D1:  Up to 16+1 seats
Category D:    From 17+1 seats

For category D1, please note whether you obtained this category under the old regulations without an additional test. If so, your license would have a gross vehicle weight limit of 3.5 tons. Keep this in mind when selecting vehicles. Further details can be found at: https://busmiete.ch/bus-ohne-fahrer-mieten/fuehrerausweise/

Every vehicle at Busmiete.ch is equipped with a digital tachograph, which can be operated with the personal driver card.

When is a driver card mandatory?:

• If you transport people commercially (taxi, bus, and travel agency companies) and offer transport and travel for a fee, the driver must have a driver card. 
• Buses with a total weight of more than 3.5 tons must always be driven with a driver card. Whether they are used for commercial purposes or not, it doesn't matter. 

If you rent a 3.5t vehicle and make internal and private journeys for your company, club, school or family, you do not need a driver card in Switzerland and the EU. 

Professional drivers who carry out commercial passenger transport attend annual further training courses, which are confirmed in the certificate of competence. 
Self-drivers for clubs, families, companies, or other organizations who carry out transport internally and free of charge do not require a certificate of competence or further training. More details here: https://busmiete.ch/bus-ohne-fahrer-mieten/fuehrerausweise/faehigkeitsausweis/
