Buying a vehicle can be difficult. Here is a handy guide to help you find the right one to suit your needs:
Here is some important information about buying the right sized vehicles:
Vans
Vans serve many purposes. They are typically used by businesses that need to transport a small number of passengers or a haul of cargo to and from a location. Vans come in several different arrangements:
Passenger vans carry up to 15 passengers at a time and are used by churches, schools, airports, and other operations to move passengers from one location to another.
Crew vans combine the capabilities of the passenger van with the ability to haul cargo as well. These vans are great for shuttling a crew to a construction site or any other use that requires a crew to be on hand with their tools. The passengers are seated up front with the cargo in the back, and there is typically a partition between the two to protect any loose cargo from making its way up front.
Cargo vans are strictly designed to move large amounts of cargo. Seating is made upfront for the driver and one passenger, and the rest of the van is cleared out to haul cargo. Many industries use these vans such as florists, painters, caterers, and more.
Shuttle Bus
Shuttle buses are extremely popular because of their relative low cost, long lifespan, and capabilities.
They can be customized in virtually every which way you want, including for handicap capabilities. They are used by airports, casinos, colleges, hospitals, daycares, and more.
One of the great things, as previously mentioned, about the shuttle bus is the flexibility they provide. Our shuttle buses can seat as few as 9 people all the way up to 40 people depending on your needs. This means you are sure to find the bus you need without overpaying for one you don’t.
Coach Bus
Think of the coach bus as a Rolls Royce for more people to enjoy. These buses are made to transport everyone from high school athletes to a professional band all while enjoying comfort and luxury. In fact, coach buses can seat up to 57 people very comfortably.
Coach buses come with plush seating, on-board technology, and more, and can be customized however you would like. They can even be customized with exterior graphics to showcase your business, band, or school spirit.
School Bus
Who doesn’t love the school bus? Okay, well maybe some of us have some bad memories. Primarily seen in the classic yellow color with benched interior seating, these have been a staple of American life for many years. In some cases, school buses can fit 3 children per bench, but these numbers are typically determined by the school district or other local or state guidelines.
While the classic school bus will get the job done, today’s school buses can be customized to meet your needs as well. Window tint, custom graphics, wheelchair lifts, and upgraded technology can all be added to your school bus as you see fit.
Leasing and Rental Options
All of our vans, shuttles, and buses come with leasing and rental options to help you fit your purchase into any budget. These leasing and rental plans are specifically designed with you in mind to simultaneously meet budget constraints and the needs of your operation.
Warranty Options
Our goal is to be your partner not just while you find the vehicle you need, but after that and on into the future. This is one of the reasons why we offer excellent warranty options on all bus or van purchases. When buying a bus or van, especially used, having that warranty policy can help keep your fleet on the road and your mind at ease about buying used.
