Long considered one of the "coolest" states in the nation, sunny California is synonymous with positive vibes, celebrity culture, and stunning coastlines that attract tourists the world over. The state equally targets culture vultures, beachgoers, artists, and park enthusiasts all in one with hip San Francisco, the imposing Yosemite National Park, and road trip phenomenon Pacific Coast Highway calling it home.
Some of California's most popular attractions include the Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood, Yosemite National Park, Disneyland, and Big Sur, a central coast charmer with some of the most scenic routes in the country.

Both come with comfortable cloth seats, T-slider windows, foldaway seating, and emergency equipment to stay safe on the road.

These include full size, narrow body, wide body, broad body electric medium duty, and wide body low floor electric medium-duty configurations. Each vehicle's range depends on route types and configurations.

TESCO offers different financing and leasing options for Californians. Our leasing program offers 100% financing with low monthly payments. It helps boost purchasing power by allowing you to finance larger buses despite a low cash/credit on hand and save on taxes, which are spread out with your monthly lease payments instead of a one-time charge.
Lastly, leasing comes with Powertrain coverage, protecting you against out-of-pocket repairs.
