A charter bus (also called a motorcoach or coach bus) is a large vehicle designed to carry 40 to 56 passengers over long distances comfortably. These buses have cushioned, reclining seats arranged in rows with an aisle down the middle, plus overhead storage racks, undercarriage luggage bays, and a rear restroom. Charter buses are built for highway travel and can be equipped with luxury features like flat-screen TVs, DVD players, PA systems, WiFi, USB/power outlets, tray tables, and climate control. They’re ideal for moving big groups—like sports teams, school classes, wedding parties, or corporate employees—on trips lasting several hours or days.

A minibus is a smaller, lighter-weight bus that typically seats between 15 and 35 passengers. Unlike full-size coaches, minibuses usually have a single door at the front, no restroom, and less storage space—but they’re easier to maneuver on city streets and perfect for short-distance routes. Most minibuses have cloth or vinyl seats, basic air conditioning, and limited entertainment options (like a Bluetooth-enabled sound system). These vehicles are great for hotel shuttles, church outings, airport transfers, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or connecting public transit riders from park-and-ride lots to final destinations. If you need something bigger than a van but smaller than a charter bus, a minibus is the way to go.

Most charter buses have between 40 and 56 seats, depending on the model and manufacturer. The most common size is a 56-passenger motorcoach, which measures about 45 feet long and has five seats per row (two on one side of the aisle, three on the other). Smaller “mid-size” coaches may have 40, 42, or 47 seats arranged in similar fashion. All of these buses feature high-backed, reclining seats with armrests, footrests, and headrests for maximum comfort during long rides. If you’re not sure what size bus your group needs, just tell us how many people are traveling and we’ll recommend the best option.

Minibuses come in several different sizes, typically ranging from 15 to 35 seats. Common configurations include 18-passenger, 20-passenger, 24-passenger, 28-passenger, and 30-passenger models. The smallest minibuses have bench-style seating similar to a large van, while larger versions use individual forward-facing seats like a charter bus. There’s usually a narrow aisle, modest legroom, and limited space for bags (either in a rear compartment or under the seats). Minibuses are ideal for groups that are too big for a couple of SUVs but don’t require a full-size coach.

Our fleet includes vehicles with a wide range of amenities to suit any group’s needs. Standard features on most charter buses include high-back reclining seats, armrests, footrests, individual reading lights, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a rear-located restroom with toilet and sink. For entertainment, you can request multiple flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA/microphone system, and a Bluetooth-enabled sound system. Stay connected with onboard WiFi, 110V/USB power outlets at every seat, and device charging stations. Additional options include hardwood-style flooring, LED accent lighting, tinted windows, tray tables, cup holders, and extra-large baggage compartments. ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts and priority seating are also available.

Yes, most of our minibuses and charter buses are equipped with either an AUX input, Bluetooth connectivity, or both—so you can easily play your own music, podcasts, or audio content through the vehicle’s speaker system. Just bring your smartphone, tablet, or laptop loaded with playlists, and you’ll be able to set the vibe for your entire ride. If you have specific requirements (like needing a 3.5mm AUX jack, RCA inputs, or a USB port), please mention that when booking so we can assign a bus that meets those specs.

Full-size charter buses offer the most luggage capacity, with up to 500 cubic feet of storage in undercarriage bays—enough for each passenger to bring a large suitcase plus a carry-on bag. Overhead racks inside the cabin provide additional room for backpacks, purses, or small items. Minibuses have less dedicated storage, usually a rear compartment that fits several roller bags or duffel bags, along with limited space under seats or in overhead shelves. If your group is traveling with oversized equipment (like musical instruments, sports gear, or trade show displays), let us know so we can recommend a vehicle with adequate cargo space.

Absolutely! We’re committed to providing accessible transportation for all passengers. Our ADA-compliant buses feature a wheelchair lift or ramp, securement areas for mobility devices, wider aisles, and designated priority seating. Additional accessibility features may include grab bars, slip-resistant flooring, visual/audible stop announcements, and accessible restrooms. Please inform us of any specific mobility needs at the time of booking so we can ensure your bus is properly equipped and ready to accommodate everyone in your group.

Yes, you can wrap your charter bus for branding, advertising, or decorative purposes. Full wraps, partial wraps, window decals, and magnetic signs are all permitted, provided they comply with local regulations and do not obstruct driver visibility or emergency exits. Wrapping a bus is a popular choice for corporate sponsors, sports teams, political campaigns, or special events looking to make a visual impact. You’ll need to arrange for printing, installation, and removal of the wrap, and coordinate timing with your rental dates. Contact us for exact dimensions and specifications of your assigned vehicle.
