For those who rent a microbus vehicle
Last Updated July 23, 2019
Use a bus company licensed by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to arrange a microbus with a driver.
- The "white number" microbus with a driver is a service that violates the so-called "white bus" and the Road Transport Law. Don't use it.
- The official microbuses of bus companies (chartered bus operators) that have been approved by the Road Transportation Act have a "green number".
- Formal chartered bus operators are required to issue related documents such as "transportation acceptance documents" and "receipts". The contract is a service that violates the law.
The car's microbus does not have a driver.
- You can only rent a car from a rental car company.
- If you rent a car, the user who borrowed the car must drive (*).
- (※) The user who borrowed the car himself can request another person to drive on his own, but in this case, it is necessary to declare the name of the actual driver to the rental car company in advance .
- The service provided by the rental car and the driver integrally is also a service that violates the so-called "white bus" law. Don't use it.
- Also, the person who requested driving cannot arrange a car rental.
If you encounter an accident using an illegal "white bus", insurance may not be applied.
- In the unlikely event that you are injured in an accident using an illegal "white bus", appropriate damages may not be made, and in some cases, the user himself must bear the full amount of damages such as treatment costs.
