Class Groups/School Incursions
In hiring The FunPad as part of a school fun day or as part of a reward program in which class groups will be utilising the service, we recommend splitting the class into two groups if there are more than 25 children. This way, the groups can each have a session on the bus (session length determined by the school) to be sure there is sufficient play space to guarantee children have an awesome experience on board The FunPad.

What's the parking requirements for the bus?
- We can park the bus outside your place or closest to the door we can get the bus.
- If your driveway can accommodate we can park there(only with double driveways with a width of at least 4 mtrs).
