Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the size and capacity of the bus. In Michigan, a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) with a passenger endorsement (Class B+) is required for any bus weighing over 26,001 lbs or designed to carry 16 or more passengers. If you are unsure which license is required for a specific vehicle in our inventory, our bus experts are always here to help guide you.
Michigan has a flat statewide base sales tax of 6%. Unlike many other states, Michigan does not have any additional local, city, or county sales taxes. This means the 6% rate applies uniformly across the board, whether you are registering your bus in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, or anywhere else in the state.
No, the state of Michigan does not require statewide emissions testing or annual state safety inspections. There is also no statewide idling limit. However, commercial vehicles must still strictly comply with federal EPA and FMCSA safety standards, and fleet operators are encouraged to follow EGLE and EPA SmartWay guidelines. Always keep your inspection and maintenance records on hand for routine DOT compliance checks!
To comply with state and federal regulations, your minimum liability coverage depends on the passenger capacity of your vehicle. Vehicles with under 15 seats require at least $1 million in coverage, while buses carrying 16 or more passengers require $5 million. If you are a for-hire operator, you must also file Proof of Financial Responsibility. Keep in mind that church fleets and nonprofit organizations can often qualify for group or discounted fleet rates through Michigan-licensed insurers.
All commercial buses and converted motorhomes (skoolies) must be registered through your local Michigan Department of State (SOS) Vehicle Registration Division branch. If you are converting a used school bus, it must meet Michigan's motorhome and safety conversion standards. Furthermore, if you plan to run a for-hire passenger operation, you will need to obtain commercial carrier authority from the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC), as well as a USDOT number and applicable Operating Authority.
