A coach bus is a large motor vehicle used for transporting groups of up to 55 people. Renting a coach bus is the preferred type of transportation for many groups, including corporations, sports teams, tour groups, wedding parties, faith groups, nonprofit organizations, military or local government groups, and more.

From corporate clients and sports teams to student groups and non-for-profit organizations, a coach bus rental is very versatile and can be ideal for a wide range of groups.

Sports teams will benefit from the undercarriage, which has room to store all your hockey, football, or track and field equipment. And group types such as corporate clients, student groups or faith organizations, will benefit from the high level of comfort and wide range of available amenities. It is also recommended to rent a coach bus for any trips longer than two and a half hours.

The onboard restroom that comes standard on all coach bus rentals means you can schedule fewer pit stops and spend more time on the road, shortening your overall drive time.

Renting a coach bus is the best option for longer trips and for large groups that need transportation from one city to another. Sports teams often rent a coach bus to move coaches, players, and support staff to out-of-town games. They’re also frequently rented by sports fans attending tailgate parties for their favorite teams.

You can also rent a coach bus simply for the comfort it offers due to the largest number of amenities onboard. They are also a great travel option for Faith groups who often rent a coach bus for spiritual trips involving many members of their congregation. Companies can also benefit from renting a coach bus when transporting their employees to corporate retreats or conferences. With outlets on board and the possibility of adding Wi-Fi connectivity, employees and guests are able to remain productive and stick to their routine, even while on the road!

The most obvious benefit of renting a coach bus is that you can spend long hours on the road comfortably and still arrive at your destination fresh and well rested. When you rent a coach bus, you’ll still want to make the occasional pit stop, but you won’t have to scour the road for parking every time one of your 55 passengers has to use the restroom. Amenities like air conditioning, TV/DVD entertainment equipment, and Wi-Fi also provide extra comfort and plenty of ways for your passengers to stay occupied in transit. Corporate clients appreciate a certain standard of travel and an executive coach bus is sure to satisfy even the most demanding guest.

The standard coach bus rental includes an on-board restroom, a vetted and courteous driver, and a massive undercarriage for extra luggage or sports equipment.

Coach buses are the roomiest option out of all the bus types, with plenty of undercarriage space for any of your luggage.

In short, absolutely. On top of the standard features, you can request audio-visual equipment, power outlets, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning to make your ride all the more cushier. With every extra amenity, your ride only becomes more comfortable. Fortunately, adding amenities doesn’t add a lot to your coach bus rental cost.

When renting a coach bus, there are certain factors that come into play to affect charter bus costs. The most important factor that changes a coach bus rental cost? Time.

When you book––from the time of day to the time of year––will have a significant impact on the coach bus rental cost. For example, coach buses typically run higher bills during night routes, given that suppliers often need to pay drivers a premium when driving after dark. Prices also peak during longer trips.

The more time spent on the road, the higher your coach bus rental costs will be due to mileage rates, fuel surcharges, and the possibility of employing multiple drivers to cover the distance of the trip.

There are a few ways to hunt down a low coach bus rental cost. One strategy is to book in the off-season, as this tends to be when charter bus rental prices are at their lowest. The off-season is generally between December and March. Even if you are not traveling during this time, it’s still possible to secure a better bus deal by booking far in advance.

We also run a price-matching program. If you’ve found a quote at a more competitive coach bus rental cost, let us know and we’ll do all we can to match it, so you can get the best possible price for your booking.

The service fee represents Bus.com’s booking charge and is used to maintain our website.

A driver’s hotel fee is automatically added when a driver’s total number of driving hours exceeds daily limits set by the Department of Transportation in the U.S. and Canada.  In the U.S., these limits dictate that a driver can legally drive for 10 hours and be on duty for 12 hours. After this, a driver must take an 8-hour break. In Canada, a driver can legally drive for 12 hours and be on duty for 14 hours, but then must take an 8-hour break.

The hotel bookings are typically handled by our procurement team and cost approximately $150 per night. However, this may be affected by location and seasonality.

Nearly all of our U.S. bus partners have $5 million coverage for automobile liability as well as $5 Million for general liability.
