Just Over the Mountain

Shuttle Buses & Wheelchair Vans in Asheville, NC

Asheville is about 60 miles from our lot — one run down I-26. Hotels, retirement communities, and tour operators get big-market vehicle selection with next-door logistics.

Greeneville to Asheville is about 60 miles — over Sams Gap on I-26, an hour and change. We treat Asheville like local business because it is: delivery is usually included or minimal, an in-stock unit can be at your property the same day, and coming to walk the lot is a morning, not a road trip.

The buying pattern in Asheville is tourism plus retirement. Hotels downtown and around the Biltmore Village area run guest shuttles year-round, and the leaf season crush makes reliable capacity a revenue question. Brewery and sightseeing tour operators want the 14-passenger size their guides can drive without a CDL — that is the HLE Strykr. Retirement and continuing-care communities from Weaverville down to Hendersonville run daily outings and medical appointments on mid-size buses like the Mavryk with mixed wheelchair and ambulatory floor plans, and on FR Conversions wheelchair vans for one-on-one transport.

Asheville sits on the Carolina side of our territory, which our Greensboro-based sales manager Jimmie Lawson covers — though at this distance, anyone on the team can have eyes on your property fast. Built-to-order buses run 60–120 days; financing decisions usually come back within 24 hours, which matters when you are ordering ahead of a summer season.

Good Questions

Asheville Questions, Answered

What does delivery to Asheville cost?

Usually little to nothing. Asheville is only about 60 miles from our Greeneville lot — over the mountain on I-26 — and that is local-delivery range for us, typically included or minimal. Your quote spells it out. In-stock units can be in Asheville the same day.

Can we look at buses in person?

Yes, and it is an easy trip — the Greeneville lot is a little over an hour from Asheville. Every unit on the inventory page is physically on the ground. For fleet buyers, ask about us bringing a unit over the mountain when routing allows.

Our tour drivers aren’t CDL holders. What can they drive?

Anything under 16 occupants including the driver — in practice the 14-passenger Strykr class, which is the standard tour and shuttle size for exactly this reason. The CDL guide has the full breakdown.

Where does service happen for an Asheville-based vehicle?

Chassis work goes through any franchise dealer in the Asheville area. For body and conversion work you are one mountain pass from us — call and we will either coordinate a local shop or handle it here.
