Does Seating Capacity Include the Driver?

At Private Hire, we often receive inquiries about seating capacity and how it applies to various vehicles. A common question is whether the seating capacity includes the driver. Understanding this can help you make informed decisions when hiring transport services across the UK.

Understanding Seating Capacity

Seating capacity typically refers to the number of passengers a vehicle can accommodate safely. This number usually excludes the driver. For example, if a minibus has a seating capacity of 16, it means that 15 passengers can be seated comfortably, with the driver's seat reserved for the driver.
