Don’t buy the bus with your eyes closed. Insurance is a monster. Insuring a 40-foot bus for personal use can cost $2,000 to $5,000 per year. Some companies won’t even touch you because you look like a maniac.
Maintenance is another beast. Tires for a bus? $400 each. And you need six of them. If the engine blows? That’s a $10,000 surprise. Keep a credit card with a high limit handy.
Fuel? A school bus gets about 6 to 10 miles per gallon. You will become best friends with every gas station attendant. Their name will be “Dave,” and Dave will know your coffee order.
