Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you sell buses or only rent them?

Carpenter Bus Sales is primarily a dealership. We sell new and used buses and vans to churches, schools, senior living communities, and other organizations. We also offer short-term rentals in Tennessee and Texas for organizations that need a vehicle for a specific trip. If you are interested in renting, let us know in the notes field on the form above.

Do I need a CDL to drive a church bus?

CDL requirements vary by state and vehicle. In most states, a CDL is not required to operate a vehicle designed to carry 15 passengers or fewer. Larger buses typically require a CDL. We will help you understand the requirements for your specific vehicle and state when you speak with one of our specialists.

What does the 8-year unlimited mile warranty cover?

Carpenter Bus Sales offers an exclusive 8-year unlimited mile warranty for church and senior care community customers who purchase new buses. This is a Carpenter Bus warranty, not the manufacturer's warranty, and it covers your vehicle regardless of how many miles you put on it over those eight years. No other bus dealer in America offers this level of coverage. Ask your sales specialist for full details.

Can you deliver a bus to our church in Tennessee?

Yes. We deliver buses anywhere in the United States. Our drivers bring the vehicle directly to your church so you do not have to travel to our Franklin, TN location. Delivery is available on both new and used purchases.

Do you offer financing for churches?

Yes. We work with several lenders who understand church and nonprofit financing. Whether your congregation is budget-conscious or looking to purchase multiple vehicles, we can help you find a financing option that works. Our sales team will walk you through the options when you request your quote.

How long has Carpenter Bus Sales been in business?

Carpenter Bus Sales was founded in 1953. We have been serving churches, schools, and senior communities for years. We are headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, with a second location in Waco, Texas. Our reputation is built on honesty, expert guidance, and standing behind every bus we sell.

Real Reviews

What Our Customers Say

"Rick did an outstanding job answering all our questions and keeping us informed. He was very familiar with our needs as a church and helped guide us to the perfect bus for our situation. I am sure we will be talking to Carpenter the next time we are on the market for a multi-passenger vehicle."

Scott A.

Local Church Pastor

"I just purchased a mini bus for our church from these fine folks. I couldn't have asked for a smoother sale. All done online, had them deliver it 500 miles away. From the salesman to the delivery driver, it arrived on time and was very clean. I highly recommend this dealership."

Tony Sutherland

Church Bus Buyer, Facebook Review

"On behalf of Community Baptist Church, just wanted to pause and thank you for your tireless efforts. From the start you have been professional, kind, caring, and honest. Our church is incredibly blessed with young people and this bus will be used to take them to youth meetings at other churches, camps, and more."
