Who better to finance and insure your bus than the people who built it?
Mercedes-Benz Financial Services offers an innovative finance product to exceed all customer expectations. Choose from options to help reduce monthly repayments, improve cashflow and lengthen vehicle replacement cycles.
• Operating Lease: pay for the use of the bus, rather than ownership
• Instalment Agreement: predictable and regular instalments
We also offer flexibility through structured payments, skip payments and individually calculated interest rates.

• TruckStore will trade in your old vehicles (single units or entire fleets) on new ones through the entire MBSA CV dealer network
• TruckStore is a significant supplier of used commercial vehicles, categorised as either ‘Gold’, ‘Silver’ or ‘Bronze’ according to age and mileage
