What you guys recon on these toyota Hiace minibus vans for private hire use?
Are they reliable?
And how much does it cost to convert one of these vans into a minibus?

You want something reliable or something VOSA are gonna get you for? When you say "minibus" is that PSV minibus (over 8 passenger seats) or private hire minibus?

VOSA have hotted up on van conversions recently; you'll need type approval and all sorts of things, hardly worth the trouble.

Yes I'm aware of that, so why buy a van and convert it? That's when you need the type approval or whatever. The professional conversion already have that done.
