Luggage first
A family of four travels with six bags. Interior racks work on a Transit; a rear luggage compartment on a cutaway bus keeps the aisle clear on airport runs.
Hospitality & Leisure
Airport runs, on-property loops and guest excursions in shuttles with luggage room, a low step and the branding to match the lobby.
The hotel shuttle is the first and last thing a guest experiences on property. It has to swallow luggage without a fight, kneel or step low enough for every guest, run the airport loop on a schedule and look like it belongs to the brand on the sign.
TESCO builds hotel and resort fleets from Ford Transit vans for smaller properties up to 25-passenger cutaway buses with rear luggage bays for airport hotels and conference resorts, most under the 14-passenger non-CDL line so any trained bell staff can drive.
Buyer's guide
The decisions that matter for hotel & resort shuttle buses, the ones a rep will walk through with you before the build sheet.
A family of four travels with six bags. Interior racks work on a Transit; a rear luggage compartment on a cutaway bus keeps the aisle clear on airport runs.
At 14 passengers plus driver, bell staff and valets with a standard license can drive. That flexibility is worth more than the extra seats of a bigger bus.
Guests in wheelchairs expect the shuttle to work for them. A lift with one or two positions on at least one vehicle keeps the property compliant and welcoming.
Franchise brand standards often specify shuttle graphics and even interior colors. TESCO's graphics team builds to the brand guide.
Shuttles wait at the terminal with the air running. Spec the climate system and battery for it.
USB charging, reading lights and a quiet cabin are inexpensive and get mentioned in reviews.

Questions
Most run a 14-passenger bus with a rear luggage bay so any trained staff member can drive, and add a second unit for peak check-in times rather than one larger CDL bus. Convention properties with group arrivals step up to 25 passengers.
Yes. Send the brand's shuttle specification and TESCO builds and wraps to it. Graphics are produced in-house.
You need the shuttle to serve every guest, and many brand standards require it. A lift with one position on at least one vehicle is the usual solution.
Both work; the deciding factor is usually mileage and lift condition. TESCO's inspected pre-owned shuttles suit properties replacing a tired vehicle quickly.
