Motorcoaches: common questions
What is a motorcoach?
A 45-foot touring coach, typically a Prevost, MCI, Van Hool, or Setra, specified for premium long-haul passenger service.
How many passengers does a motorcoach seat?
Motorcoaches typically seat 45 to 61 passengers. Exact capacity depends on the seating configuration and, where wheelchair positions are specified, on how many seats are given up to securement stations.
Do you need a CDL to drive a motorcoach?
Requires a CDL with passenger endorsement. A commercial driver's licence with a passenger endorsement is generally required at 16 or more occupants including the driver, or above 26,001 lb GVWR, but state rules vary and the occupant count on the specific unit is what decides it. Always verify against the unit, not the category.
Who buys motorcoaches?
Premium tour and charter service, entertainer coaches. On CommercialBuses these requests usually arrive from a dealer whose own inventory cannot fill a buyer's spec.
Can CommercialBuses find a motorcoach for my buyer?
Yes. Submit the buyer's requirements and CommercialBuses searches participating dealer inventory for an available motorcoach that meets every must-have. Searching is free, and you only choose a plan once we confirm a match.
