Many of our charter buses and minibuses come equipped with free onboard WiFi and power outlets at every seat—perfect for staying connected, streaming movies, or charging devices during the ride. If having WiFi or outlets is important for your group, please mention it when booking so we can match you with a bus that meets your needs.

All of our full-size charter buses have large undercarriage bays that can hold suitcases, sports gear, musical instruments, or trade show displays. Overhead racks inside the cabin provide additional space for backpacks and small bags.

If you’re traveling with bulky items like bicycles, coolers, or AV equipment, let us know so we can recommend the right vehicle.

We recommend booking your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months before your trip—to ensure the best selection and rates. Spring and summer are especially busy due to graduations, weddings, and peak travel season. However, we understand that plans can change. If you need a last-minute rental, call us anyway! We often accommodate same-week or even same-day requests thanks to our large fleet and flexible scheduling.

Yes, you can update your reservation if your plans change. Need to adjust the pickup time, add a stop, or upgrade to a larger bus?
