Best Buses For Sale is a family-run used bus dealer in Huntington, New York. We sell reconditioned non-CDL, wheelchair and passenger shuttle buses to Florida churches, hotels and resorts, senior communities, NEMT and paratransit providers, and buyers shipping to the Bahamas and the Caribbean through Florida ports. We deliver anywhere in Florida on our own flatbed trailers.
Why Buy a Reconditioned Bus for Florida
Florida scores just 1.7 out of 10 on our road-salt rust scale, so Florida buyers rightly expect a clean underbody. Our buses already meet that bar: we buy them nationwide from outside the Salt Belt. Florida is hard on a bus in other ways, with heat, humidity and long A/C runtimes, so every bus is driven by Manny and reconditioned before it is sold, with the work done on what he finds, not a checklist that skips the expensive fixes.
What Florida Buyers Need to Know
- Licenses: a regular Class E license covers a shuttle under 26,001 lb designed for 15 or fewer people, including the driver. A bus designed for 16 or more needs a CDL with a passenger endorsement.
- Wheelchair buses: transit, paratransit and Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged provider buses fall under FDOT Rule 14-90, with a Florida-compliance lift label, posted lift instructions and annual safety inspections. CTD Rule 41-2 adds two-way communication. Some counties, such as Broward, also license NEMT vehicles.
- Registration and inspections: no emissions testing and no periodic state safety inspection. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN verification. Some counties, such as Miami-Dade and Broward, license for-hire vehicles.
- Sales tax: 6% state tax plus a county surtax on the first $5,000. 501(c)(3) organizations and churches with a Consumer’s Certificate of Exemption (DR-14), and government buyers, are exempt.
- Grants and NEMT: FTA 5310 senior and disability bus grants run through the FDOT Public Transit Office. Medicaid NEMT runs through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care plans and their vendors, such as MTM and Modivcare.

Do Church Buses in Florida Need a CDL?
Not if the bus is designed for 15 or fewer people, including the driver, and weighs under 26,001 lb. A regular Class E license covers it. A bus designed for 16 or more people needs a CDL with a passenger endorsement.

Can I See the Bus First?
Yes. Book a live FaceTime walkaround with Manny, watch the walkaround video on each listing, or visit us in Huntington, New York.
How Much Does a Used Shuttle Bus Cost in Florida?
As of November 2026, most reconditioned shuttle buses in our inventory are priced between about $40,000 and $66,000, depending on year, size and wheelchair equipment. Older or smaller buses can cost less, and larger F-550 wheelchair buses can cost more. See our Church Bus Buying Guide for more on sizing and cost.

Florida sales tax is generally paid when you title and register the bus in Florida: 6% plus your county’s surtax on the first $5,000. Churches and 501(c)(3) organizations with a DR-14 certificate are exempt. Confirm with the Florida Department of Revenue or your tax adviser.
