Private bus insurance!

Post by Raymond97 »

Hey guys, my brother and I are keen on buying a 1992 B10m bus to convert into a transporter for a car. We are struggling to find anywhere to insure it privately.
We don’t really want to register it as a motor home as we don’t want to change the door to swing outwards plus some company’s are saying no due to it either being a transporter or me being to young.

My question is can we register it as a truck or van easily? And if anyone has someone that will insure for just 3rd party

Thanks Ray!

In theory, a bus without seats is a van.

But if you are going to convert it into a transporter,you will probably need an engineer's certificate to get it registered.

The rules will vary from state to state, so best to talk to your registration authority.

Insurance will be a problem, so perhaps best talk to a broker.

Good luck.
