Take a Charter Bus Trip to Tennessee

Visit the Volunteer State in Luxury, Safety and Convenience

There are few states in the nation that have as much to offer as Tennessee. From Memphis to Chattanooga, from Nashville to Knoxville, you'll find unmatched musical offerings, stunning natural beauty, great food and more than 120 Civil War monuments. The people are friendly, the prices are pretty reasonable anywhere you go and you can have a great time outside nearly year round. Don't turn a trip to Tennessee into a lot of work. With a charter bus rental from US Coachways, you can join the fun while someone else handles all the details.

The US Coachways Customer Bill of Rights

When you ride with US Coachways, your needs and concerns will always be our priority. On any trip with us, you'll have the right to:

• Know all anticipated costs up front — We will fully disclose all potential costs at the point of sale, and will make certain the correct costs are carefully documented in your written agreement. We recognize, however, that our prices may change due to availability of coaches. If your projected costs increase after you've entered into your contract, we will notify you immediately and give you the opportunity to cancel your trip without a cancellation fee (provided the fee increase was not caused by changes you made to the itinerary).
• Cost protection in the event of cancellation of your trip — We will explain our cancellation policy to you before you enter into your agreement. We will also offer you the opportunity to secure "charter cancellation protection" to minimize the potential costs of a cancellation.
• A professional driver at all times — US Coachways requires that all affiliate charter bus companies comply with state and federal guidelines for safety and driving skills. We also require that your driver have a thorough understanding of your itinerary and use professional courtesy in all matters throughout your trip. If your driver does not meet any of these standards, we ask that you notify us immediately, so that we can conduct a thorough investigation. If our investigation corroborates your allegations, we will refund 5% of the total cost of your charter, up to a maximum of $500.
• Protection in the event of "state of emergency" or weather - related closures or cancellations—If a venue on your trip is not open because of a declared "state of emergency," we will limit any cancellation fee to $500, provided the cancellation was beyond your control. For weather-related cancellations, you can use the cancellation fee as a discount on future bookings with US Coachways.
• Amenities that work properly — If any amenity fails to function properly, provided that it's either standard or paid for as part of your booking, US Coachways will either fix the problem or find a replacement bus, if possible. Furthermore, you'll be entitled to a refund of up to 5% of the total cost of the charter for each day the amenity did not work, up to a maximum of 20% of the total cost of the charter.
• To be picked up on time — We allow a 30 minute grace period for your initial pickup. If we are more than 30 minutes late, we'll refund you 5% of the total cost of your charter. For every additional 30 minute delay in picking you up, we'll refund an additional 5%, up to a maximum of 20% of the total cost of your charter.

Come to Tennessee for the Time of Your Life

Few states have as many diverse and vibrant cities as Tennessee, and no other state has two major metropolitan areas that both claim the title as "Music City":

• Nashville — From Music Row to the Ryman, from Ernest Tubb's Record Shop to the Bluebird Lounge, Opryland and the Country Music Hall of Fame, Nashville has a legitimate claim to the title of Music City U.S.A. There's always live music here and because of the laid-back vibe in Nashville, it's not uncommon to see famous musicians at the local restaurant or watering hole. Enjoy some Nashville-style hot chicken and wash it down with a cold brew from one of the city's nearly 20 craft breweries.
• Memphis — The home of the blues, Beale Street, Sun Records, Stax, Graceland and innumerable musical landmarks, Memphis has equal claim as America's "Music City." Visit the Memphis Rock n' Soul Museum, with memorabilia from the city's heyday as the soul, R n' B and blues capital of the world. Visit the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel, where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. Many proclaim Memphis to have the best ribs on the planet, but there's also great brisket, pulled pork and barbeque chicken throughout the city. Another local creation is chicken and waffles—most locals consider Gus's World Famous Chicken to the have the best.
• Knoxville — On the east side of the state, home to the University of Tennessee and the storied Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Knoxville has a college-town vibe—lots of great, small live music venues, plenty of live theatre, plenty of craft beer joints, and mom and pop restaurants serving everything from buttermilk pie to barbeque (closer to Carolina style than Memphis), grits and other Southern standards. There's a burgeoning arts scene here, with lots of funky galleries. Knoxville is also a popular destination for antique hounds and vintage/thrift shoppers.
• Chattanooga — Just a little over an hour south of Knoxville, but seemingly in a different world, Chattanooga is just plain fun. Visit Ruby Falls, the country's deepest commercial cave and underground waterfall (1,120 feet below ground!) or go to Rock City, where you can get a view of seven different states from Lookout Mountain. For great indoor fun, there's the Tennessee Aquarium, one of the nation's best. The Chattanooga Zoo is also among the best in the American Southeast. Go to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum and take a one hour ride back in time from Grand Junction Station through the Missionary Ridge Tunnel, completed in 1858.

Of course, many of the most storied battles of the American Civil War were fought in the Volunteer State. Visit the Shiloh National Military Park, Chickamauga, the Carnton Plantation, Fort Donelson and the Maplewood Confederate Cemetery, among more than 120 Civil War sites and monuments in Tennessee.

We'll Find the Right Bus for You

Choosing charter is just the first step toward a successful group outing. It's just as important to take the time to get the right coach for your group and your trip.

At US Coachways, we'll ask all the right questions to learn the important details of your outing—how many attendees you'll have, how long you'll be on the road, what you're planning to bring or take home, and any other special needs of your group. Then we'll work with our vast network of charter bus vendors to find your ideal bus.

Headed to Tennessee with a smaller group? Consider the mini-bus, with a number of models that seat anywhere from 24 to 35 comfortably. For a larger entourage, you'll want the full-sized charter bus, with accommodations for as many as 57 and a bathroom on-board. Multiple bus rentals are typically an option and ADA-compliant coaches are usually available.

Enjoy certain basis amenities—high-back bucket seats, climate control, a top-notch sound system and lots of space for personal items—as standard items on any charter bus (except for some school buses). Other modern conveniences may also be available for an extra charge, such as Wifi, public address systems, DVD players and monitors, electrical outlets and charging ports, leather seats and hardwood floors. Check with your booking agent.
