About MinibusInsurance.co.nz
Impartial specialist referral service matching NZ minibus operators with the right cover for their needs — regardless of fleet size.
Who We Are
MinibusInsurance.co.nz is a specialist referral service connecting New Zealand minibus operators with licensed insurance advisers. We work with a curated panel of advisers who have deep expertise in commercial motor vehicle insurance for vehicles carrying 9 to 25 passengers.
Whether you operate a single school minibus, a community shuttle, a tourism vehicle, or a growing commercial fleet, we make it easy to get connected with an adviser who understands your specific needs — and the regulatory environment you operate in. We work with operators of every size, from single-vehicle owners to multi-vehicle fleets.
What We Do
We are not an insurer and we do not sell insurance policies directly. Our role is to help operators navigate the specialist minibus insurance market — which can be complex, with different requirements for schools, commercial operators, community groups, and tourism providers.
When you submit an enquiry through our site, your details are passed to a licensed financial adviser on our panel who will contact you, assess your needs, and present the most suitable options — not the most expensive or the easiest to sell. Providers on our panel include NZI, Vero, Ando, Gallagher, DUAL NZ, and other specialist commercial insurers.
Our Commitment
We only refer to advisers who are licensed under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and hold appropriate professional indemnity insurance.
We are impartial — our only goal is to match you with the most suitable provider for your specific operation, whether you run one minibus or twenty.
We welcome operators of all sizes: single-vehicle community groups, school kura, disability support services, tourism operators, and commercial fleets.
We provide clear, general information about minibus insurance so you can make informed decisions before speaking with an adviser.
We protect your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 and never sell your data to third parties.
How We Match You
The NZ minibus insurance market includes a range of providers — from large commercial insurers like NZI (IAG) and Vero (Suncorp) through to specialist underwriters like DUAL NZ and Gallagher who serve tour operators, disability transport, and smaller community fleets. Not every provider is right for every operator.
Our advisers look at your actual operation — how many vehicles, how they're used, who drives them, and what level of cover you genuinely need — and match you with the provider that fits best. The goal is always appropriate cover at a fair premium, not the broadest policy at the highest price.
