How should one approach this ?

A lady at work owns a Kombi and travels from a nearby town to work and back every day.

She has several people traveling with her and at the moment pays her a fee for this.
I seem to recall that if one transports people for a fee, then all sorts of permits are required and she does not want to go through all these hassles.

Is there an avenue she can use to get past the above ?

The main concern I have is that if she ends up in an accident and people are hurt/killed, what then ?
