Minibus sales have been on the rise this month after many minibus companies have released monthly sales figures that they would expect to see for the entire year.

Although these couple of months before summer normally display a rise in sales, minibus retailers got a shock when they saw their monthly figures this month. One company that had a successful summer build up was Anchor Vans who saw monthly sales figures that matched what they would expect to see in a year.

From these figures it appears that air conditioned 17 seater minibuses have seen the most improvement in sales, this strengthens the predictions that UK holidamakers are choosing to not head further this summer and choosing UK destinations or surrounding countries like France as their summer getaway. Due to the current credit crunch, people are looking for cheaper alternatives to flying abroad so with the fuel price coming back down and the weather improving, the amount of people opting for a UK holiday is on the rise.

The rise in sales is not just down to holidaymakers. Due to the recent weather conditions, there has been a large number of sales from schools that are preparing for sporting events and outdoor activies for the summer period. This is because we have seen a increase in the overall weather conditions during April and May which seems like it’s here to stay.

Although many people are doing it, buying a second hand minibus may not be for you, if you don’t want to get stuck with you, you should consider the alternatives to buying one. One way to do this is minibus leasing. There are many advantages to getting a minibus lease, one being that you can reduce your overall costs, you get a brand new minibus rather than a second hand one and finally you don’t get stuck with a minibus once you’re done with it.

So if you decide to go for a UK holiday rather than flying abroad, choosing to lease a minibus might be a better plan than actually buying your own Or maybe if you’re not after a minibus, there are many different types of vehicles you can get by van leasing.
