Iowa Bus Sales & Support Team

New and used buses, vans, and shuttles delivered anywhere in Iowa, with a dedicated regional sales rep, nationwide service coverage, and in-house financing behind every vehicle.

Known for its enthralling rolling plains, cornfields, and quintessential American culture, Iowa should be at the top of everyone's travel wish list. One of our favorite Iowa treks is the Great River Road and its countless nature preserves and Native American settlements along the Mississippi River. The Loess Hills National Scenic Byway is a close second, with tons of wineries and breweries in the region to enjoy.

Some of Iowa's most popular attractions include Arnolds Park Amusement Park, Lake Okoboji, the High Trestle Trail, and the Driftless Area Scenic Byway. Its state capital, Des Moines, is also an underrated tourist attraction. It is home to a hearty downtown Farmer's Market and the Iowa State Fairgrounds, one of the nation's most significant summer fairground events.

If you are looking to travel to Iowa as a mobile health clinic operator, tour operator, or any service transporting large groups, then TESCO can help. Keep reading to learn more about TESCO and its massive inventory of new and used buses, shuttles, and mobile health clinics.

    Response from TESCO

    This bus was a diesel, year 2000 model, with over 200,000 miles which was sold wholesale. The customer came here and drove the bus, it was negotiated to terms sufficent to both parties before he left and after a significant test drive. We are very transparent regarding these buses and customer expectations. We sell all wholesale buses with an honest and open dialoue, prices are usually low for the value, and some work is usually always needed after a sale.
