About Buses n Bugs

Career highlights past and present

Buses n Bugs is the country’s leading importer and restorer of vintage Volkswagen vans. Among the wide array of classic VWs available are Type 2, Transporter, Samba, and Kombi models. These were manufactured in Brazil for decades, in quantities far in excess of German production, and with a comparable level of quality. Overseeing all aspects of importation to its Houston warehouse, Buses n Bugs undertakes a meticulous restoration of the VW campers from the ground up.

The refurbished vehicles combine reliable performance with charm and embody the freewheeling “hippie van” era. They are often sold through the escrow.com platform, which allows secure and safe payment that is not released until the actual vehicle has been inspected and taken on a test run.

Buses n Bugs was the brainchild of an entrepreneur whose friend operated a surf school in the San Diego area and wanted a VW Bus with which to transport students. Having gone through an arduous process of shepherding the vehicle from Brazil to the USA, he handed it off to the friend, who promptly resold it at a nice profit. The realization that a significant market for VW buses existed led him to establish the company and refine the VW import and transportation process.
