Frequently Asked Questions @ BGA School Buses, Inc. Hudson, FL

My question isn't answered?

*Where are you physically located?
We are not currently at any physical location

*How long have you been in business?
Greg Sr. has been in the bus business since 1972. He started his own dealership in 1974. He has driven buses over 1,000,000 miles across the country, and has personally converted 4 school buses into campers.

*What makes your buses better?
We personally drive each of the school buses we offer for sale.

*Where do your school buses come from?
Most of our buses come direct from the school. They are fresh off from route work, and are very well maintained by the school. This doesn't mean all school buses are maintained properly. Many school districts do just enough to pass inspection. Others take pride in how nice they keep their buses. Buying a bus direct from the school does not insure a perfect bus. Having over 50 years of knowledge has allowed us to learn what schools to avoid, and what schools to deal with. This is knowledge most dealers do not have. They simply know the bus is fresh from the school. Which school?

*Who can own a bus?
Anyone can own a bus. This includes you. People, churches, schools, day cares, sports fans, and anyone else that wants or needs a bus can own one. There is no required use for a bus either. You can use it for any purpose you wish.

*Do I need a CDL to drive a bus?
You need a CDL to drive a bus that is rated for over 15 passengers including the driver in most states. This is why there are so many 15 passenger vans used. You do not need a CDL to drive a bus that is titled as a motor home. We can help you title your bus as a motor home (MH title). You do not need an air brake endorsement if you are using the bus as a motor home in FL. Check with your state to verify the same is true.

*Can I get Air Conditioning on a bus?
You can get A/C on a bus. Most transit type buses have a/c built in. Most school buses still do not have a/c installed. Of course there are exceptions to these statements.

*Why would someone want a bus?
Buses have 100's of uses. Many people want a bus to transport people. They are churches, schools, day care centers, pre-schools, or employers. There are also several other reasons people buy buses. Conversions are very popular. Either as a motorhome, or a full time home. Nascar buses, or tail gating buses are another very popular use for buses. You have probably seen one of these buses at an event you have attended. People moving long distances can save a fortune buying a bus. Instead of money to U-Haul, you can buy a bus and move all of your stuff in it. A wheel chair lift comes in handy for this use. Then when you get moved to your new house, simply sell the bus and get your money back. Other ideas in no particular order are portable library, portable housing, portable storage, portable dentist, portable x-ray, blood mobile, portable massage parlor or masseuse, doggy sitter, dog groomer, educational display (animals, electronics), dance bus, tumble bus, party bus, shed, rolling billboard. There are tons of other ideas people have for buses, what is yours? We can help make your dream a reality.

*Where do you deliver school buses?
We deliver school buses to anywhere in the lower 48 states.

*What does it cost to deliver a school bus to me?
The cost to deliver a school bus can vary based on location and current fuel prices. Contact us for the most up to date pricing.

*How do you deliver school buses?
All of our deliveries are made by driving the school bus. We do not put your bus on a trailer and ship it. There are trucking companies that can do this if you prefer, but we always drive the bus to your door. This helps ensure you receive a bus that is ready to work.

*How long does it take to get my school bus?
Delivery time is set up once payment for the bus has been received. Many times we can get your bus to you within 7-10 days. Sometimes our schedule is full and we will require extra time. Every attempt is made to get your bus to you when you need it. If you have an extreme circumstance, do not hesitate to call. We will get you your bus.

*Can you export the bus for me?
We do not arrange shipping. We can deliver your bus to the port. This saves you from paying sales tax, and it's one less thing to worry about! The charge to take a bus through the port is $300 on top of the delivery charge.

*Do you recommend anyone for shipping?
We do not have anyone that works for us to arrange shipping. There are a few companies that I have heard good stories about. If you want a referral, please email us.
