Financing Built for Shuttle & Cutaway Routes

Shuttle and cutaway buses run a different kind of schedule than charter coaches — daily routes instead of seasonal trips. Charabanc has financed buses since 2002, and our team includes people with decades in the bus and motorcoach market, so we know how a shuttle route earns money and how to structure a payment that fits it.

Shuttle & Cutaway Bus Financing FAQ

Do you finance shuttle and cutaway buses?
Yes. We finance new and used shuttle and cutaway buses, from a single unit to a full fleet order.
What kinds of shuttle operations do you finance?
Hotel and resort shuttles, senior living and assisted living transportation, daycare and camp routes, airport and corporate shuttles, and paratransit fleets.
Can my payments follow my route schedule?
Yes. Seasonal payment structures let operators with seasonal routes skip up to three consecutive payments each year, and 90-day deferred payment options are also available.
What credit do I need to finance a shuttle or cutaway bus?
We work across a wide credit window, from A+ to C, and can underwrite start-up operators who have good personal credit.
Loan or TRAC lease: which is better for a shuttle fleet?
It depends on your tax position and how long you plan to run the vehicle. A loan builds equity from day one; a TRAC lease sets a residual value up front, which usually means a lower monthly payment. See the side-by-side comparison on our motorcoach financing page, and confirm tax treatment with your accountant.
What do I need to apply?
Smaller requests can go application-only: a credit application, recent bank statements, and a short company overview. Larger requests use our full-financials application. Both are on our Resources page.
Can I get approved before I pick a shuttle?
Yes. Apply first and you can shop knowing what you can finance. Our affiliate, The Bus Coach, buys, sells, and consigns pre-owned motorcoaches and buses if you are still looking for the right unit.
