A charter bus is a large, professionally operated vehicle that is rented by a group to provide private, pre-arranged transportation on a schedule and route set entirely by the customer. Unlike a public bus or a pre-sold ticketed service, a charter bus operates exclusively for the group that hires it—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, wedding party, or any other organization needing to move people together. Charter buses are ideal for longer-distance trips, multi-hour or multi-day events, and any situation where keeping a group together on a single vehicle is important.

They are commonly used for events such as corporate outings, school field trips, sports team travel, weddings, and multi-day tours. Charter buses are popular because they offer comfortable seating, onboard amenities, and the ability to keep large groups together while traveling.

A charter bus is a large, boxy vehicle with a high roofline, flat sides, and multiple windows running the length of the cabin. Most are around 40–45 feet long and sit on three axles with large wheels and tires. The front end is usually sloped or rounded for aerodynamics, with a wide windshield and integrated headlights. Entry doors are located just behind the front axle and open outward or slide forward. The body is typically painted in a solid color (white, black, silver, or gray) with minimal graphics, though custom wraps and decals are available. Larger models have a raised rear roofline to accommodate underfloor luggage bays, while smaller minibuses have a lower profile and shorter overall length.

Most full-size charter buses seat 50 to 56 passengers, which is standard for 45-foot coaches used by brands like Van Hool, Prevost, Setra, and MCI. Smaller minibuses can seat anywhere from 18 to 35 passengers depending on the exact model and interior layout. We offer several mid-size options in the 25- to 35-seat range for groups that don’t need a full-size coach but want more capacity than a standard minibus. If you need to move more than 56 people, we can send multiple buses and coordinate them to travel together. Just let us know how many people you need to transport, and we’ll make sure you get a vehicle (or vehicles) with enough seats for everyone.

Anyone who needs to move a group of people from one place to another can rent a charter bus! We regularly work with school districts, universities, sports teams, corporations, event planners, wedding parties, religious groups, senior citizen organizations, and government agencies. We also provide transportation for airport transfers, cruise port shuttles, casino trips, concert outings, and multi-day tours. Even families or friends planning a reunion, vacation, or destination celebration can book a bus to simplify their travel. No group is too big or too small—if you need people moved, we can help.

Charter Bus Rental Lauderhill offers a full range of buses in Lauderhill, including 18-passenger, 20-passenger, and 25-passenger minibuses; 56-passenger full-size charter buses; and several mid-size options that can seat 28, 32, or 35 passengers. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, Setra, MCI, Grech, and Turtle Top, so we can match you with exactly the right size and style of bus for your group. Minibuses are great for airport transfers, hotel shuttles, and local events, while the larger 56-passenger coaches are ideal for school trips, sports teams, corporate outings, and any situation where you need to move a lot of people at once. If you’re not sure which size is best, just give us your headcount and we’ll recommend the most comfortable and cost-effective option.

A charter bus and coach bus are essentially the same thing—both terms refer to a full-size, forward-facing motorcoach designed for long-distance group travel. These vehicles typically seat 50 to 56 passengers and are equipped with amenities like reclining seats, climate control, luggage bays, and restrooms. A party bus, on the other hand, is a smaller vehicle (usually built on a minibus or shuttle chassis) that has been outfitted with limo-style seating, colored lighting, sound systems, and space for passengers to stand or dance. Party buses are popular for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and nightlife outings. An entertainer bus—also known as a sleeper coach or band bus—is a custom-built motorcoach designed for touring musicians, performers, or VIPs. These buses feature sleeping bunks, lounge areas, kitchenettes, and entertainment systems, and are used for multi-day tours where passengers need to eat, sleep, and relax on board.

Most modern charter buses come standard with reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, and luggage bays under the floor. Additional amenities can include onboard Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each seat, video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth audio systems, and a restroom at the rear of the coach. Larger coaches (40- to 56-passenger) typically have all of these features, while smaller minibuses may have only some of them due to space constraints. Premium models can be equipped with leatherette upholstery, LED accent lighting, PA systems, and optional amenities like tray tables or beverage coolers. If you require a specific amenity—such as Wi-Fi, power outlets, or a restroom—please mention it when requesting your quote so we can assign a vehicle that meets your needs.

Yes, most of our charter buses can be equipped with onboard Wi-Fi upon request. While many newer coaches include Wi-Fi as a standard feature, it is still considered an optional amenity on some vehicles and may need to be specified when booking. The Wi-Fi system connects to the internet via a cellular data network (4G LTE or 5G), providing passengers with wireless internet access throughout the trip. This allows guests to browse the web, check email, use social media, and stream music or video on their personal devices. Please note that onboard Wi-Fi is designed for light to moderate usage by multiple users simultaneously; bandwidth-intensive activities such as HD video streaming, large file downloads, or video conferencing may be limited or restricted to ensure fair access for all passengers. If reliable Wi-Fi is essential for your trip, please mention this when requesting your quote so we can assign a coach with the best available connectivity.

A standard 56-passenger charter bus offers approximately 400 to 500 cubic feet of luggage space, split between undercarriage baggage bays and interior overhead parcel racks. This is sufficient to accommodate one large suitcase (checked-bag size) plus one carry-on item per passenger—similar to airline luggage allowances. The underfloor bays are accessible from outside the coach and can hold bulky items such as equipment cases, garment bags, or coolers. Overhead racks inside the cabin are ideal for backpacks, briefcases, or smaller bags. For groups traveling with extra luggage—such as sports teams with gear, bands with equipment, or travelers with multiple bags—we can allocate additional space by reducing the passenger count or arranging for a second vehicle. Smaller minibuses (18 to 35 seats) have limited luggage capacity, typically offering only rear cargo space and no underfloor bays. If your group has special luggage requirements, please specify this when booking so we can assign an appropriately sized vehicle.

Yes, Charter Bus Rental Lauderhill can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Many schools, venues, and hotels in Lauderhill require ADA-compliant transportation, and we’re happy to accommodate any passenger with special mobility needs. Just let us know what you need when you request a quote.

Yes, you can wrap your charter bus with custom graphics, branding, or advertising, but there are some important conditions and restrictions. Full wraps, partial wraps, and vinyl decals are permitted as long as the materials are professionally installed and removed without damaging the vehicle's paint or finish. All artwork must be approved in advance, and additional fees may apply for installation time, cleaning, or extended prep days. The client is responsible for all costs associated with the wrap, including design, printing, installation, and removal. Wraps must not cover windows (except with approved perforated vinyl), lights, or safety markings. All graphics must comply with local laws and may not include offensive or prohibited content. Wraps must be scheduled in advance to allow time for installation before the trip. For more information or to arrange a custom wrap, please contact our office with your artwork and schedule details.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model or color, and we will do our best to accommodate your preference based on fleet availability. We operate several popular models including Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, and various Grech/Turtle Top minibuses—each available in standard colors such as white, black, silver, or gray. While we cannot always guarantee a specific make, model, or color due to scheduling and maintenance requirements, we will prioritize your request and assign a vehicle that matches your preference as closely as possible. If an exact match is not available, we will notify you in advance and offer the closest alternative. Please mention any specific model or color preferences when booking so we can make the appropriate arrangements.

The cost of a Lauderhill charter bus rental varies depending on the size of the vehicle, the length of the trip, and the time of year. Local trips are typically billed by the hour, with a five-hour minimum, while longer trips are billed by the mile or by the day. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, driver lodging, and optional amenities. To get an accurate estimate, request a quote online or call our office with your trip details.

Minibus rentals in Lauderhill generally cost less than full-size charter buses, but rates still vary based on distance, duration, and demand.

Request a quote online or call our office with your itinerary to compare options and find the best value for your budget.

Several factors influence the price of a charter bus rental in Lauderhill: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the distance and duration of the trip, the time of year (peak vs. off-peak), and any additional services or amenities requested. Longer trips, larger vehicles, and peak-season bookings generally cost more. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking, and driver accommodations can also affect the total price. For the most accurate pricing, provide as many details as possible when requesting a quote.

Every quote includes the rental of the bus, the driver’s time, fuel, and any standard amenities onboard. Tolls, parking, and driver lodging (for overnight trips) are typically not included and are billed separately. Optional add-ons like Wi-Fi, PA systems, or custom wraps will be listed as separate line items. Your quote will specify the exact pickup and drop-off locations, schedule, and cancellation terms.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and fall are peak seasons for school trips, sports, and weddings, so buses can sell out months ahead. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be more expensive and limited in vehicle selection.

For multi-day or overnight trips, the customer is responsible for providing and paying for the driver’s hotel accommodations. The hotel should be a budget or mid-range property (e.g., Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn, La Quinta) with secure parking for the bus and located within 10–15 minutes of the group’s lodging or event venue. Drivers are entitled to a private room (not shared with passengers) and should have access to restroom and shower facilities. For single-day trips or itineraries that do not require an overnight stay, no accommodation is necessary. If you need assistance booking a hotel for the driver, our office can recommend properties that are convenient and coach-friendly. Please factor the cost of the driver’s room into your overall budget when planning a multi-day trip.

Book early, especially during peak seasons (spring and fall). Provide detailed itineraries with exact addresses and timing. Ask about parking and loading zones at major venues like the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center or Central Broward Regional Park. Confirm amenities such as Wi-Fi and power outlets in advance. Budget for tolls, parking, and driver gratuity. For multi-day trips, arrange hotel accommodations for the driver. Communicate any changes to your schedule as early as possible. Finally, designate a group leader to coordinate with the driver on the day of the trip.
