A charter bus (also called a motorcoach or coach bus) is a large vehicle designed to transport groups of people over long distances. These buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and come equipped with amenities like cushioned reclining seats, overhead storage racks, undercarriage luggage bays, air conditioning, PA systems, and optional features such as TVs with DVD players, WiFi, power outlets, and restrooms. Charter buses are ideal for moving large groups efficiently and comfortably, whether it’s for a multi-day tour, an out-of-town wedding, or a corporate retreat.

A minibus is a smaller, lighter-weight bus that usually seats between 18 and 35 passengers. These vehicles are great for short-distance trips around town, like shuttling wedding guests between venues, providing last-mile transportation for employees, or taking a youth sports team to a tournament. While minibuses don’t have as much storage space or as many amenities as full-size charter buses, they often include comfortable seats, air conditioning, and sometimes WiFi and power outlets. Their compact size makes them easier to maneuver through city streets and tight parking lots.

Most charter buses in our fleet seat between 40 and 56 passengers. The exact number depends on the make and model of the bus. For example, a Van Hool CX45 has 56 seats, while a Prevost H3-45 has 54 seats. If you need something smaller, we also offer midsize coaches that seat 30 to 39 passengers. Let us know how many people you’re traveling with, and we’ll match you with a bus that has enough seats for everyone—and then some!

Mini buses in our fleet typically seat anywhere from 18 to 35 passengers. Common sizes include 20-passenger, 25-passenger, and 28-passenger models. These vehicles are perfect for small groups who want to stick together without renting a full-size charter bus. They’re easy to park, quick to load and unload, and still offer plenty of comfort for short trips around Davie or Broward County.

We offer a wide range of buses to suit any group size or budget. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses (40-56 seats), mini buses (18-35 seats), party buses (10-40 seats), entertainer coaches (6-12 bunks plus lounge), and sprinter vans (8-15 seats). Each type of bus comes with its own set of features and benefits. Full-size coaches are best for long-distance travel and large groups, while mini buses are ideal for short trips and small groups. Party buses are perfect for celebrations, and sprinter vans offer a cost-effective solution for quick shuttles.

Our buses come equipped with a variety of amenities designed to keep passengers comfortable and entertained. Standard features include cushioned reclining seats, climate control, overhead lighting, and ample legroom. Many of our vehicles also offer free WiFi, power outlets or USB ports at every seat, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, Bluetooth sound systems, PA microphones, and even onboard restrooms. If you have specific requests—like extra luggage space, ADA accessibility, or custom branding—just let us know when you book.

Yes! Most of our newer models come with Bluetooth-enabled sound systems that allow you to stream music directly from your smartphone or tablet. If you prefer a wired connection, we can provide a bus with an AUX input or RCA jacks. Some buses also have USB ports for charging devices and playing audio files. Just tell us what kind of setup you need, and we’ll make sure your ride has it.

Full-size charter buses offer the most luggage space, with large undercarriage bays that can hold up to 500 pounds of baggage—enough for each passenger to bring a full-size suitcase plus a carry-on. Overhead racks inside the cabin are perfect for smaller items like backpacks, purses, or laptop bags. Mini buses have less storage capacity but can still accommodate several pieces of luggage in rear compartments or floor-mounted racks. If you’re traveling with oversized equipment (like musical instruments or sports gear), please mention this when booking so we can assign a suitable vehicle.

Absolutely! We believe everyone should have access to safe and reliable transportation. Our fleet includes ADA-compliant buses equipped with wheelchair lifts or ramps, designated securement areas, priority seating, and wider aisles for easy maneuverability. These vehicles also feature accessible restrooms (on larger models) and low-entry steps for passengers with limited mobility. Please notify us of any special requirements at least 48 hours before departure so we can make the necessary arrangements.

Yes, you can! Bus wraps are a great way to promote your brand, celebrate a special occasion, or simply stand out from the crowd. We’ve worked with clients to create custom graphics for corporate events, sports teams, parades, and more. Wraps can cover the entire exterior of the bus or just a portion (like the windows or rear panel). Pricing varies based on the size of the bus and complexity of the design. Please contact us at least three weeks in advance if you’re interested in this option.

We will do our best to accommodate requests for specific models or colors, but availability may vary depending on the date and location of your trip. Our fleet includes buses from top manufacturers like Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, Temsa, Grech Motors, and Ford. Common color options include white, black, silver, and blue. If you have a preference, please let us know when you book, and we’ll try to match it.

The cost of renting a charter bus in Davie depends on several factors, including the size of the bus, length of the trip, time of year, and any additional amenities requested. On average, prices range from $150 to $300 per hour for local trips, or $1,200 to $2,500 per day for longer journeys. For an exact quote tailored to your itinerary, call our office at 754-218-8430 or fill out the online form on our website. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

Minibus rentals are generally more affordable than full-size coaches, with rates starting at around $125 to $225 per hour or $900 to $1,800 per day. Final pricing will depend on the number of passengers, distance traveled, duration of service, and any optional features selected. Discounts may be available for multi-day bookings or repeat customers.

Several variables influence the total cost of your bus rental: type and size of vehicle, mileage, number of hours or days required, seasonality (peak months tend to be more expensive), pickup/drop-off locations, and choice of amenities. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking permits, cleaning fees, or driver lodging on overnight trips. To get the best rate, try to book at least four to six weeks in advance and provide as much detail as possible about your travel plans.

Your quote covers the use of the bus itself, compensation for the driver, fuel, basic insurance coverage, and standard onboard amenities. It does not include gratuity for the driver (typically 10-20% of the total fare), meals, lodging for overnight stays, or incidental expenses like road tolls and parking fees. Optional upgrades such as WiFi, premium entertainment systems, or custom wraps may incur additional costs. All terms will be clearly outlined in your contract before you commit to anything.

We recommend booking your bus as early as possible—ideally three to six months before your event date—to ensure the widest selection and best pricing. Spring and summer are especially busy seasons due to graduations, weddings, and tourism, so plan accordingly. Last-minute reservations can sometimes be accommodated, but availability may be limited and prices higher. Once you have your headcount and itinerary finalized, give us a call to lock in your reservation.

Yes, we offer flexible packages to suit any schedule. One-way rentals are perfect for airport transfers or relocating vehicles between cities. Round-trip service is ideal for events where passengers need transportation both to and from the venue. Multi-day charters are available for extended tours, conferences, or destination weddings. You can customize pickup times, drop-off points, and stopovers as needed. We’re here to make your travel plans as seamless as possible.

Absolutely! Our buses regularly travel to destinations across the state and beyond, including Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Charlotte, and New Orleans. Long-distance trips can be arranged with overnight accommodations for the driver and scheduled breaks for passengers. Chartering a bus is often more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than flying or driving multiple cars. Plus, you get to enjoy the journey together as a group.

If your itinerary requires the driver to be away from home overnight, you will need to arrange and cover the cost of a hotel room. Most clients book a standard single-occupancy room at the same hotel where the group is staying. This ensures the driver is well-rested and ready to operate the bus safely the next day. For multi-day trips, please also budget for meals and incidentals.

Getting a quote is quick and easy! Simply call our office at 754-218-8430 or fill out the online request form on our website.

To ensure a smooth experience, finalize your headcount and itinerary before booking, communicate any special needs (such as ADA accessibility or extra luggage space), and confirm all pickup/drop-off locations with exact addresses.

During the trip, respect the driver’s instructions and keep the aisles clear. Afterward, check the bus for personal belongings before disembarking.
