Why a Charter Bus is the Preferred Mode for Group Travel

When you're traveling with a group, there are lots of details that demand your attention, but few more important than your choice of transportation. When you have problems on the road, it can put a damper on the entire trip. Make it easy on yourself with a charter bus rental:

  • You'll be able to customize the trip to your needs and wishes—With a charter bus, you tell us where you want to go, when you want to leave, what you want to see and how long you want to stay. We'll make it happen. In most situations, you can even amend your itinerary at the last minute or even book a whole trip with next-to-no notice.
  • You can depend on a mini bus—Delays and cancellations are virtually unheard of with a charter bus rental. Your driver has the tools and technology to foresee potential roadway problems and find alternate routes to get you there on time. In addition, because of our access to a large fleet of vehicles nationwide, it's easier for us to find a replacement if there are mechanical problems.
  • You'll be safe and secure—Because there's a highly skilled and trained professional behind the wheel, a charter bus is one of the most accident-free ways to travel. You won't have to worry about unwanted guests, either—there's only one way on and off the bus.
  • You'll ride in comfort—Stretch your legs, because there's more room in front of you than on any other mode of travel. The seats are big and plush and there are only two on each side of the row. The aisles are also spacious and you can move about at your convenience. In addition, climate control is generally a standard feature on all charter buses.
  • Everyone can relax—On most group trips, someone has to be in charge, checking the GPS or the clock, battling traffic, or looking for parking. With a charter bus, everyone can enjoy the ride while your driver handles all those details. You won't have to worry about missed connections or lost luggage—you'll travel on the same vehicle throughout the trip and your bags will be with you. No worries about a TSA security checkpoint, either. Bring your favorite shampoo and keep your shoes on. Your devices won't interfere with on-board navigation, so you can stay in touch at all times.
  • Your bus offers multiple functions—Of course, it's your way to get there and back, and to get around while you're at your destination. But it's also a great place for a team meeting, to give out last minute instructions, or to have a party. It can also be a quiet place for a little down time during a busy trip.
  • You can take advantage of the high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes—You won't spend a lot of time stuck in traffic.
  • Charter buses are cost effective—Because you share many of the costs of travel, charter bus rentals are one of the most affordable ways to take a group anywhere.
  • Charter buses are eco-friendly—You'll lower the overall carbon impact when you ride with others on a charter bus.

FAQs about Charter Bus Travel

How will I know if a mini bus is the right vehicle for my group?

  • We'll carefully assess the details of your trip—how many people are going, what you'll be bringing or taking home, how long you'll be on the road, and any special needs of your participants. Then we'll work with our extensive network of vendors to find the coach that’s just right for you.

Are there different types of mini buses?

  • Yes. We have access to mini buses that seat 24, 28, 30 or 35 passengers, offering traditional bus row type seating. We can also get you an executive mini bus, which comes set up with tables that seat four, so that you can meet in small groups or play games.

How much will a mini bus cost?

  • The price of a mini bus rental varies, based on a number of factors:
    • When and where you'll be renting the bus—The cost of a charter bus rental depends, to some degree, on supply and demand. For that reason, in places like Florida, where the demand for charter buses is greater in the winter than the summer, the cost of a mini bus rental in January will typically be more than in July. The opposite tends to be true in Northern regions of the country.
    • The day of the week—Charter buses are generally more expensive to rent on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
    • How long you'll be gone—If you're going and coming back in a day, you can expect to be charged either by the mile or by the hour, with a minimum fee. If you're staying overnight anywhere, you'll customarily pay by the day. When you lodge anywhere for the night, you'll be expected to pay the cost of your driver's accommodations.
    • Where you rent the bus and where you return it—Expect to pay more for a mini bus in a metropolitan area than the suburbs or in a small town. In addition, it usually costs more if you want to return the bus to somewhere other than where you boarded it.
    • Any special amenities you'll need-With a mini bus, reclining bucket seats, climate control and AM/FM stereo are standard. Other modern conveniences, such as Wifi, tables, charging stations, DVD players, PA systems and on-board bathrooms may be available for an additional fee.
    • Any tolls, permits or other fees incurred, including parking expenses—You will be responsible for all similar types of expenses.

How much luggage can I bring on a mini bus?

  • That varies, based on the size and available amenities. Most coaches have storage underneath and some offer overhead bins as well. Check with your booking agent for specific information.

What is the alcohol consumption policy on a US Coachways charter bus rental?

  • The consumption of beer, wine and liquor is permitted on your charter bus, provided you request permission to do so in advance. Your driver will always have the discretion to suspend or terminate alcohol privileges. In addition, all passengers on the bus must be of legal drinking age in the state where the bus is traveling.
