What are the financing options for purchasing a school bus?

Can you explain the difference between leasing and buying?

Sure! When you buy a bus, you own it outright and can use it as you wish. Leasing, on the other hand, means you pay to use the bus for a set period but don't own it. Leasing often has lower monthly payments.

What kind of loans are available for school buses?

You can consider traditional bank loans, government-backed loans, or specialized financing from bus manufacturers. Each has different terms and interest rates.

Are there any grants available for school bus purchases?

Yes, there are grants available, especially for environmentally friendly buses or for schools in need. It's best to check with local and federal education departments.
