Vans for Sale at Carpenter Bus Sales
Carpenter Bus Sales isn't just about buses. We carry a full lineup of new and used passenger vans and wheelchair-accessible vans from trusted manufacturers including Forest River Vans, FR Conversions, ADA Boy Vans, and Collins. Whether you need a compact people-mover for your organization or an ADA-compliant vehicle for passengers with mobility needs, we have the right van in stock, backed by the same expertise, financing, and warranty support we're known for on the bus side.
Not sure whether you need a van or a bus? The short answer: vans are ideal for smaller groups (up to 15 passengers), tighter parking situations, and organizations that want a lower-profile vehicle that any licensed driver can operate. If you need more capacity, a purpose-built bus may be the better fit. View our bus inventory.
Passenger Vans
Our passenger vans seat up to 15 people and are built for churches, schools, senior living communities, corporate campuses, and any organization that needs reliable group transportation without the size or cost of a full bus. Available in multiple seating configurations with options like rear luggage space, reclining seats, and upgraded interiors.
No CDL required. Your volunteer drivers and staff can get behind the wheel with a standard license. View our current passenger vans for sale.
Wheelchair Vans
For organizations that transport passengers with mobility challenges, our wheelchair-accessible vans come equipped with ramps or lifts, wheelchair securement systems, and ADA-compliant layouts. These vans are purpose-built for senior living communities, healthcare providers, daycares, churches, and nonprofits that need safe, dignified transportation for every passenger.
Available in multiple configurations to accommodate both ambulatory passengers and wheelchair positions. View our current wheelchair vans for sale.
Wheelchair Mini Vans
For organizations and fleets that need wheelchair-accessible transportation in the smallest possible footprint, our wheelchair minivans deliver ADA-compliant access in a vehicle that parks anywhere and drives like a car. Built by FR Conversions on platforms like the Chrysler Voyager and Toyota Sienna, these converted minivans are available in rear-entry, side-entry, and hybrid configurations — each with a built-in ramp and wheelchair securement systems.
Wheelchair minivans are especially popular with medical transport providers, senior living communities, taxi and rideshare fleets, home healthcare agencies, and any organization that needs to transport one or two wheelchair passengers without the size of a full-size van.

Frequently Asked Questions About VANS
A passenger van is designed for ambulatory passengers and features standard bench or individual seating for up to 15 people. A wheelchair van has been modified with a ramp or lift, a lowered floor, and securement systems to safely transport passengers who use wheelchairs. Some wheelchair vans also include a mix of standard and wheelchair seating positions.
In most states, you do not need a CDL to drive any vehicle that carries 15 total passengers or less. However, some states have stricter requirements. As always, please check with your local DMV for CDL licensing requirements.
In most cases, yes — but we recommend purchasing a purpose-built wheelchair van rather than retrofitting a standard passenger van. Factory-built wheelchair vans from FR Conversions and ADA Boy are engineered from the ground up for safety, ADA compliance, and durability. If you have a specific conversion need, contact our team and we can advise on the best approach.
Our passenger vans seat up to 15 people including the driver. Wheelchair van configurations vary depending on the number of wheelchair positions — typically accommodating 4 to 12 ambulatory passengers plus 1 to 3 wheelchair positions, depending on the floor plan. Wheelchair minivans typically accommodate 1 to 2 wheelchair passengers plus 2 to 4 ambulatory passengers.
Yes. We offer flexible financing options on all of our vans, just as we do on our buses. Whether you're a church, nonprofit, municipality, or private organization, our finance team can help you find a payment plan that fits your budget. Contact us to get a quick, no-obligation quote.
