Starcraft Xpress

Starcraft Xpress

Launched in autumn 2011, the Starcraft Xpress was designed as a superior alternative to the overcrowded 15-passenger vans commonly seen on today’s roads. Featuring dual rear wheels, it provides enhanced safety and stability compared to raised-roof vans. The Starcraft Xpress is perfect for transporting passengers to casinos, resorts, and local airports. It includes a wide, spacious electric dual-pane entry door, facilitating easy boarding and exiting. Built on the robust Ford E-Series chassis, this bus offers a smooth, dream-like driving experience. While its body is narrower than models like the Allstar and MVP, it still offers ample room for passengers to travel comfortably.

Comparable to the Starlite, the Xpress accommodates up to 15 passengers, including the driver, potentially eliminating the need for a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). **Be sure to verify specific licensing requirements with your state DMV to confirm.** Its low entry step simplifies access for passengers, making boarding and disembarking effortless. The Starcraft Xpress offers flexible configurations to suit various needs, such as luggage space and perimeter seating—ideal for airport shuttles—or an ADA-compliant wheelchair station, which is highly favored in senior care facilities. For the price, the Starcraft Xpress shuttle bus stands out as an unbeatable choice.
