Minibus rentals seem to be a great idea for traveling with friends and family, especially when planning to travel in a larger group during COVID times. The desire to travel together with as many people in your acquaintance as you can is, indeed, tempting. But at the same time, it is not as easy as it appears when it comes to ensuring safety of all passengers, maintaining social distance, and following precautionary measures to prevent Coronavirus spread. Opting a minibus on rent is, then, the only option you’re left with if you do not want to miss the joy of celebrating every moment of your journey with your loved ones.
With redBus, BusHire, you can easily book a minibus in multiple locations across India, such as Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Madurai, and more.

Let’s check out some of the benefits of booking a minibus to travel!
Mandatory Masks for the Staff and Passengers
Under the Safety+ guidelines in minibuses, everyone on board is required to wear masks, including the minibus driver. Based on the COVID safety standards released by the Ministry of Health, the bus staff has to follow this rule throughout the journey.
Deep Cleaned Vehicles
redBus minibus rentals with Safety+ feature undergo a deep cleaning and disinfection process before starting and after completing the trip.
No Blankets/ Linens
While blankets and linens are a part of amenities provided by many of the minibus operators associated with redBus, these would not be provided during COVID times due to safety concerns. Passengers are requested to carry their own blankets, linens, or shawls to stay comfortable throughout the journey.
Hand Sanitizers Available
To keep the passengers stay disinfected throughout the trip, hand sanitizers will be provided in every minibus on rent. redBus also recommends that passengers carry their own sanitizers to keep these handy when required.
Regular Temperature Checks
Minibus drivers or the service personnel are subject to temperature checks before every trip. Their body temperature will be recorded in order to avoid passengers’ risk of being infected.
Passengers with Symptoms Not Allowed
In addition to other preventive measures, passengers showing symptoms of COVID-19, such as sneezing, high fever, shortness of breath, etc. are advised not to travel. In such cases, the passengers with symptoms can also be deboarded, considering the safety of fellow passengers.
Stay with your group
Finally, the best thing about redBus minibus rentals is that you are always with the people you know. As the saying goes, ‘you can be the master of your own life,’ it’s easy to follow precautionary measures for COVID when you are with your folks, without anyone else’s intervention.
With qualified drivers, popular operators, and Safety+ guidelines, booking a minibus for group traveling can be your best decision during COVID times. Book a minibus using the redBus, BusHire website or app and stay safe until this pandemic leaves the world!
