A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike a public Greyhound or Megabus, a charter bus does not sell individual tickets but is hired as a single unit to serve a school, company, sports team, wedding party, or other organization. Charter buses are commonly used for events, field trips, corporate travel, airport transfers, and multi-day tours. They are valued for their comfort, large seating capacity (up to 56 passengers), onboard amenities (restroom, WiFi, power outlets), and ability to keep groups together while traveling directly between prearranged pickup and drop-off locations.

A charter bus is a large, boxy vehicle typically 40–45 feet long with a high roofline, flat sides, and a slightly rounded front end. The exterior is usually painted white, black, or silver, though custom colors and full-vehicle wraps are available. Windows run the length of both sides and are often tinted for privacy and sun protection. Luggage bays are located below the passenger cabin between the axles, with doors that swing upward or outward. The front door is just behind the windshield and opens outward. The rear may have additional storage compartments but no entry door. The roofline is straight or gently curved, sometimes with low-profile HVAC units. The overall appearance is sleek and streamlined, built for highway speed and passenger comfort.

Most full-size charter buses seat between 50 and 56 passengers, depending on the exact model and interior configuration. Common capacities include 50, 52, 54, and 56 seats. Some newer models can accommodate up to 58 passengers if they have a tighter seat pitch and no rear restroom. Smaller groups can book a minibus, which typically seats 18, 20, 25, or 28 passengers. For very large groups, multiple buses can be chartered together. When requesting a quote, be sure to specify your group size so we can provide a vehicle with the appropriate seating capacity.

Anyone who needs to move a large group of people at once will rent a bus. Schools and colleges book them for field trips, campus shuttles, and athletic events. Sports teams use them to travel to games and tournaments. Corporations hire them for employee shuttles, conferences, and business meetings. Wedding planners arrange guest transportation between venues. Churches and religious groups charter buses for retreats and mission trips. Event organizers use them for festivals, concerts, and convention shuttles. Finally, families and social groups book buses for reunions, vacations, and sightseeing tours. In short, any organization or group that needs convenient, private transportation for 15 or more people can benefit from renting a charter bus.

We offer a full range of vehicles from 18-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size charter buses, plus party buses and entertainer coaches for special events. Our fleet includes models from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, and Temsa—each available in multiple configurations to suit your group size and budget. Minibuses are ideal for 18-35 passengers, while our largest motorcoaches can seat up to 56 people comfortably. Many vehicles come with deluxe amenities such as leather upholstery, reclining seats, individual reading lights, flat-screen monitors, DVD players, WiFi, power outlets, and onboard restrooms. If you need something specific—like an ADA-accessible bus or a coach with extra luggage space—just ask. We can quickly provide pricing and availability for any type of bus you need.

A charter bus (also called a coach bus or motorcoach) is a large vehicle designed to transport groups of 30 to 56 passengers comfortably over short or long distances. It offers forward-facing seats, climate control, luggage storage, and optional amenities like WiFi and restrooms. A minibus is a smaller version seating 18 to 28 passengers, ideal for shuttles or short trips. A party bus is built for celebrations, with perimeter seating, color-changing lights, a sound system, and room to stand or dance—popular for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and nights out. An entertainer coach (or sleeper bus) serves bands, performers, or VIPs on tour, featuring living space, bunks, a lounge, kitchen, and sometimes a shower. It’s designed for multi-day trips with overnight accommodations. In short: charter/coach buses move large groups; minibuses handle smaller groups; party buses are for on-the-road events; entertainer coaches provide mobile living quarters for touring professionals.

Most modern charter buses come standard with reclining cloth or leatherette seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, and large tinted windows. Additional amenities often include flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, PA system, WiFi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each seat, and an onboard restroom located at the rear of the coach. Larger models may have forward-facing seats with armrests and tray tables. Optional upgrades can include leather upholstery, USB ports at every row, Bluetooth audio, and custom lighting. Minibuses offer similar amenities but typically lack a restroom and may have fewer video screens. If you require something specific—such as WiFi, power outlets, or a restroom—please mention this when requesting a quote so we can assign a vehicle that meets your needs.

Yes, most of our modern charter buses and minibuses can be equipped with onboard WiFi upon request. The WiFi connection is suitable for checking email, browsing the web, and using social media, but bandwidth may be limited for streaming video or downloading large files—especially when many passengers are connected simultaneously. If reliable WiFi is important for your trip, please mention this when booking so we can assign a vehicle with the best available equipment. There may be an additional charge for WiFi, depending on the data plan and length of your trip. Keep in mind that coverage can be spotty in rural areas or on certain highways.

A full-size charter bus typically offers enough luggage space for each passenger to bring one large suitcase plus a carry-on bag. Most motorcoaches have spacious undercarriage (belly) compartments that can accommodate 50–56 large roller bags—one per passenger—plus additional items like duffel bags or equipment cases. Inside the cabin, overhead parcel racks run the length of both sides and are ideal for backpacks, laptop bags, and smaller carry-ons. For trips requiring extra luggage—such as sports teams with gear, band groups with instruments, or travelers with bulky items—please notify us in advance so we can assign a vehicle with ample storage or arrange for additional space. Minibuses have limited luggage capacity, typically offering only rear cargo space and overhead racks.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Just let us know what you need when you call.

Yes, you can wrap a charter bus with your own custom graphics, logo, or branding. Full wraps, partial wraps, and window decals are available. Wrapping a bus is popular for sports teams, corporate events, political campaigns, and special promotions. You’ll need to provide the artwork to our specifications, and installation must be done by an approved vendor. Additional fees apply for both installation and removal. Please request a wrap at least two to three weeks in advance so we can schedule the work and ensure the bus is ready before your trip. Contact our team for pricing, artwork guidelines, and lead time.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model, manufacturer, or exterior color when booking your charter. We offer vehicles from top brands like MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, Setra, and Temsa, and common colors include white, black, silver, and gray. While we do our best to accommodate specific requests, exact availability may vary depending on your trip dates, group size, and how far in advance you book. If your first choice isn’t available, we’ll offer the closest alternative. Be sure to mention any preferences—such as seat fabric, interior layout, or exterior color—when requesting your quote. Additional customization, such as decals or window signs, can also be arranged.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Port Orange: the type and size of vehicle (minibuses are less expensive than full-size coaches), the distance traveled (mileage fees for longer trips), the duration of the trip (hourly or daily rates), and the time of year (peak season rates during spring and summer). Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees, driver lodging for overnight trips, and optional amenities like WiFi or custom wraps. One-way trips are more expensive than round-trips of the same distance because the bus must return empty. Large events such as Bike Week or race weekends can also impact availability and pricing. Booking early and providing detailed trip information will help you get the best rate.

Your quote includes the bus rental, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any requested onboard amenities (WiFi, power outlets, DVD monitors, restroom). Tolls and parking fees are typically not included and are the responsibility of the group. For multi-day trips, the quote covers all hours the bus is needed each day. Driver gratuity (usually 10–20%) is not included but is customary and can be added to the invoice or given in cash. Additional charges may apply for extra mileage, extended hours, or special requests. The quote is fully inclusive of all standard costs; any potential extras will be clearly outlined. Ask your reservation specialist to explain any items not included.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and summer are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sporting events, so buses can book up quickly. Large events like Daytona Bike Week and NASCAR races also increase demand. Last-minute bookings (less than 4 weeks out) are possible but may be more expensive and offer fewer vehicle choices. For major events or custom vehicles, book 6 to 12 months ahead. Once you have your trip date, destination, and headcount, request a quote and secure your reservation with a deposit.

Getting a quote is easy—just call our 24-hour reservations team at 386-895-0500 or fill out the online form on our website. Provide your trip details: date, pickup location, destination, departure time, return time, and estimated number of passengers. Specify any special requirements such as WiFi, power outlets, or an ADA-accessible bus. Our team will quickly calculate an exact price and send you a detailed quote by email. If you have multiple legs or stops, include those as well. Quotes are free, no-obligation, and typically valid for 7 days. Once you’re ready to book, the process can be completed electronically.

Yes, we offer flexible packages to accommodate one-way trips, round trips, and multi-day charters. One-way trips are ideal for airport transfers, cruise port shuttles, or groups with different return arrangements. Round trips are common for events, excursions, and out-and-back travel. Multi-day packages are available for groups needing transportation over several days—such as sports tournaments, conferences, or overnight tours. The bus and driver remain with your group for the duration, providing local shuttles as needed. Pricing is customized based on the itinerary, distance, and length of service. Provide your schedule when requesting a quote, and we’ll tailor a package to fit.

Yes, we can provide long-distance charter bus rentals from Port Orange to any destination in Florida or across state lines. Common out-of-town trips include Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Savannah, Atlanta, and Miami. Our coaches are built for highway travel, with comfortable reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, and optional WiFi. For very long trips, drivers are limited by federal hours-of-service rules—so a second driver may be required for continuous travel. The bus can make rest stops, meal breaks, and overnight stays as needed. Long-distance pricing is based on mileage and duration. Contact us with your itinerary for a custom quote.

For overnight or multi-day trips, the group is responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The driver must have a private room (not shared with passengers) to comply with federal rest regulations. Budget or mid-range hotels are acceptable, but the room should have basic amenities and be located near the group’s lodging or event venue. Many hotels offer complimentary parking for buses. For single-day trips, no accommodations are needed. If the bus will be parked for several hours, the driver may request access to a lounge or waiting area. Driver lodging is not included in the base rental price and should be arranged in advance.

Book early—especially during peak seasons like spring break, Bike Week, or race weekends. Provide detailed itineraries with exact pickup and drop-off addresses. Request parking permits in advance for venues with restricted access. Budget for tolls on highways like I-95 and I-4. Ask about onboard amenities such as WiFi, power outlets, and restrooms. Confirm luggage allowances for airport or cruise transfers. Plan meal and rest stops for longer trips. Communicate special needs such as ADA accessibility or equipment storage. Review the cancellation and refund policy before signing the contract. Assign a group leader to coordinate with the driver on the day of the trip.
