Loans and leases for charter, tour, and line-run operators, from a single used coach to a full fleet refresh. Approvals up to $750,000 in as little as a few hours.
Motorcoaches are where Charabanc started. For more than twenty years we have financed coaches for charter companies, tour operators, and scheduled-service carriers across the country. Our team includes people with decades in the bus and motorcoach market, so we understand how a coach earns money, how it holds value, and how seasonality hits your cash flow.
Charter and tour revenue isn't flat, and your payments don't have to be either.
We structure the deal around your business, not a standard equipment-loan template.
From established fleets to operators just getting started.
We finance coaches from the major manufacturers, including Prevost, MCI, Van Hool, Temsa, and Setra.
Our affiliate, The Bus Coach, buys, sells, and consigns pre-owned motorcoaches and buses. We can have financing lined up before you pick a unit.
We’ll lay out both options side by side for your coach and your numbers.
You own the coach from day one and build equity with every payment.
You and the lessor agree on a residual value up front, which usually means a lower monthly payment.
Municipalities and transit agencies can also use municipal leases. Confirm tax treatment with your accountant.
Download a credit application. Smaller requests can go application-only: the application, recent bank statements, and a short company overview.
Our streamlined transportation process can approve requests up to $750,000 within a few hours of a complete application.
We structure payments around your calendar, including seasonal skips and 90-day deferred first payments.
