A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed to transport groups of people comfortably over short or long distances. Charter buses typically seat between 40 and 56 passengers and come equipped with amenities such as reclining seats, air conditioning, restrooms, overhead storage, undercarriage luggage bays, WiFi, power outlets, and entertainment systems (TVs/DVD players). They are ideal for moving large groups efficiently and cost-effectively compared to multiple smaller vehicles.

A minibus is a smaller version of a charter bus, usually seating between 18 and 35 passengers. Minibuses are perfect for medium-sized groups who want many of the same amenities as a full-size coach but don’t need as much capacity. They are easier to maneuver in urban areas and can access locations where larger buses might have difficulty. Minibuses often feature comfortable seating, climate control, PA systems, and optional WiFi/power outlets.

Our charter buses range from 40 to 56 seats. The most common sizes are 47, 50, 54, and 56-passenger models. These buses offer spacious interiors with high-back reclining seats, wide aisles, and plenty of legroom. If you have specific seating requirements or need extra space for equipment/luggage, let us know so we can match you with the right vehicle.

Our minibuses come in various sizes, typically offering 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, 30, or 35 seats. The exact configuration depends on the manufacturer and model. Smaller minibuses are great for shuttling guests between venues or providing last-mile connections from transit hubs. Larger minibuses can handle medium-sized groups without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

Our fleet includes several different types of buses to accommodate any group size or itinerary. We have 18- to 35-passenger minibuses for smaller groups, 40- to 56-passenger charter buses for larger groups, and specialty vehicles like party buses or entertainer coaches upon request. Each type of bus comes with its own set of features and options, so we can tailor your rental to match your exact specifications.

We offer a wide range of amenities to make your ride as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Standard features include cushioned reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, and large tinted windows. Many of our buses also have free onboard WiFi, USB/power outlets at every seat, flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth/AUX sound systems, PA microphones, and restroom facilities. If you need something specific—like extra luggage space, tables for working/eating, or ADA accessibility—just ask!

Yes! Most of our buses are equipped with audio systems that support AUX and/or Bluetooth connections so you can play your own playlists during the trip. Whether you want background music for relaxation or upbeat tunes to energize your group, you’ll have full control over what’s playing through the speakers. If this feature is important to you, please mention it when booking so we can confirm compatibility with your devices.

Charter buses typically have generous undercarriage storage compartments that can hold multiple suitcases, duffel bags, coolers, or even bulky items like sports equipment and musical instruments. Overhead racks inside the cabin provide additional room for smaller personal belongings. Minibuses have less total capacity but still offer enough space for carry-on sized bags and a few larger pieces in the rear or under seats. If your group is traveling with oversized or unusually shaped cargo, let us know in advance so we can ensure everything fits safely.

Contact us for guidelines and dimensions to ensure a perfect fit.

We will do our best to accommodate requests for particular bus models, manufacturers, or colors based on availability within our fleet.
