It depends on the bus's size and weight. In Texas, a CDL is generally required if the vehicle is designed to transport 16 or more passengers (including the driver) or has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more. We offer a wide selection of "Non-CDL" buses—typically 14-to-15-passenger shuttles and vans—perfect for Austin-area daycares, small churches, and Austin senior care facilities that want to avoid the strict commercial licensing requirements for their staff.

Absolutely. We know that robust, high-capacity air conditioning is non-negotiable for passenger transport, especially when sitting in stop-and-go traffic on I-35 or US-183 during a Austin summer. Many of our shuttle, coach, and school buses are equipped with heavy-duty front and rear A/C systems specifically designed for extreme southern climates. We highly recommend verifying the dual A/C specifications with our sales team.

While Texas requires an annual comprehensive safety inspection for all commercial vehicles, operators in the Austin metro area face stricter rules. Travis County requires regular emissions testing for diesel buses to meet local air quality and compliance standards. Our concierge team can help ensure the bus you purchase meets the specific environmental compliance standards required to operate legally within Austin and surrounding non-attainment counties.

For businesses operating around Austin-Bergstrom International Airport or the downtown Capitol district, we frequently recommend mid-size shuttle buses and luxury passenger vans (like Ford Transit or Mercedes Sprinter models). These offer comfortable seating, dedicated luggage space, and the maneuverability needed for dense urban environments and hotel staging areas. For industrial crews outside the Austin metro area, we also supply rugged, heavy-duty retired school buses.

Yes! Navigating the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) and local Travis County tax offices for commercial fleets can be complex. We offer an expert concierge service to handle the heavy lifting regarding out-of-state transfers, title work, and registration paperwork, ensuring your bus is legally ready to hit Austin roads as quickly as possible.

We carry a large inventory of ADA-compliant buses equipped with wheelchair lifts, securement tie-downs, and appropriate aisle clearances. Whether you are a Austin-area transit contractor, a local assisted living facility, or a medical transport company navigating the Austin hospital districts, we can supply vehicles that meet both state and federal accessibility guidelines.

You don't have to worry about coordinating a pickup yourself. We offer reliable, nationwide delivery services. Whether your facility is located right in the heart of Austin, in a surrounding Austin suburb like Round Rock or Cedar Park, or anywhere else across the large state of Texas, we can transport your purchased bus directly to your lot.

Yes, Texas is a very popular state for "Skoolie" conversions. We sell a variety of retired school buses (Blue Bird, Thomas, and International) that make perfect conversion platforms for exploring the state or traveling outside the Austin metro area. Once converted, you will need to apply for a title change through the TxDMV to reclassify the commercial bus as a motorhome for personal use.

We offer flexible, competitive financing options tailored to businesses, schools, and tour operators. Whether you are an established Austin charter company expanding your fleet of luxury MCI coaches or a startup shuttle service catering to the Austin metro area, our finance team works with commercial lenders to find terms that fit your budget and business plan.

Yes, we are always looking to expand our inventory. If your Austin-based business is upgrading its fleet or downsizing, we buy all types of used school, shuttle, and coach buses. We offer competitive valuations and can often arrange prompt pickup of your old vehicles directly from your facility.
