Anyone got any ideas on 12 seater options? The biggest thing I can drive still on a NSW "C" licence is a 12 seater. The Toyota Coaster even Commuters a lot of them are 14 seats which is annoying. I've seen some HiAce 12 Seaters. The only other real option I've found is a Ford Transit Bus.
I'm looking at most seats for cheapest price! Some enterprising people around town have started charging my guests to get them to and from work each week and I've worked out they are paying around $400 a week to various folk for a 10km each way lift to work. There are two shifts so it would be three half hour stints a day I think, five days a week. 8am drop off. 3pm drop off and pick up same time and then 11pm pick up.
I've got enough backpackers around the place looking for any work I'd trade a bit of free rent for the van runs. Trying to work out if it is worth it. My last backpacker van was crashed by guests but the van had cost $2K, lasted 2 years and made about $350 a week in rental plus all the money in furniture delivery etc it saved me. They paid the damage, I sold it to wreckers and didn't claim on any insurance so it was okay. Now trying to work out if I should buy something again!
