Things to Know Before Buying a Church Bus

Many churches rely on different forms of transportation to shuttle people to and from several types of services. Whether its night programs, Sunday morning mass, or mission trips, church buses bring people together to celebrate many facets of life. At Palmetto Bus Sales in South Carolina, we offer a great variety of Church Buses and work with you to find the right vehicle that suits your needs. However, there are some things to keep in mind before going into the buying process.

Understanding Your Needs

Understanding that your needs are different from other customers is a crucial point of the buying process. For example, if your bus is primarily used for transportation of the elderly, then finding a van that has easy entrance and exit access should be a priority. To accommodate, you could look for a bus with built-in ramps, or prioritize high ceilings and spacious center aisles. The point is that within your needs there will always be different ways to tackle these problems. Another point to consider is if you have someone qualified to drive your desired vehicle. While finding the right bus can be a challenge, finding someone to drive the bus can be equally as challenging. Buses also function as moving billboards. A properly branded bus can create great publicity for the church, which is a great way of getting people interested and involved.

Safety Is Paramount

An important factor when buying church buses is safety. Many churches still use large vans that hold up to 15 passengers. Large vans like these have been noted by the National Transportation Safety Board to be unsafe. Buses, however, are a much safer option. Buses are built to safely carry many passengers. The full steel cage construction, side impact beams, and stable chassis provide safe countermeasures to whatever the road throws your way. Buses are also usually constructed with a low first step, handrails, and wider aisles. Be sure to ask important questions regarding safety when you start the buying process.
