A charter bus is a large, professionally driven vehicle that’s rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike a public bus or a pre-sold tour, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the group that hires it: you choose the pickup location, departure time, route, stops along the way, and drop-off point. Most full-size charter buses seat 40 to 56 passengers and are designed for comfort on trips ranging from a few hours to several days. They’re commonly used for school outings, corporate events, sports team travel, weddings, airport transfers, and multi-day tours.

Most full-size charter buses are 40–45 feet long with a high roof and a flat front. They have large tinted windows, smooth fiberglass or composite sides, and several luggage bays that open below the passenger floor. The front usually has a wide entry door behind the front axle and space for company branding, a destination sign, or a custom wrap. Common colors are white, black, silver, or dark blue, but some buses can be wrapped in custom graphics for sports teams, corporate branding, or special events.

Most full-size charter buses seat between 50 and 56 passengers. The exact number depends on the model and interior layout. Popular models like the Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, and Setra S417 can be configured with 50, 52, 54, or 56 seats. Buses with fewer seats often have more legroom, a rear lounge, or extra luggage space. Some older models may have 47–49 seats, while high-capacity coaches can fit up to 58 with tighter spacing.

Anyone who needs to move a large group of people at once can rent a charter bus! In Lewisville, that often includes school districts like Lewisville ISD planning field trips or athletic events, corporate groups organizing employee shuttles or conference travel, wedding parties needing guest transportation between venues, sports teams traveling to games and tournaments, church groups heading to retreats or services, and event planners coordinating transportation for festivals, concerts, or conventions. We also work with families and social groups planning reunions, vacation tours, or out-of-town trips. If you have a group and a destination, we can help you get there.

We offer a full range of buses in Lewisville, including 18-, 20-, 25-, and 28-passenger minibuses; 35- and 39-passenger mid-size buses; and 45- to 56-passenger full-size charter buses. Many models are available in each category, including Grech Motors, Turtle Top, Champion, Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, and Setra. Most minibus models seat 18–28, mid-size coaches seat 35–39, and full-size coaches seat 45–56 depending on the exact model and interior layout.

A “charter bus” and a “coach bus” usually refer to the same thing: a full-size motorcoach designed for comfortable group travel, typically seating 40 to 56 passengers. These buses have forward-facing seats, luggage bays, restrooms, and amenities like WiFi and video screens. A “party bus” is a smaller vehicle (often built from a minibus or stretched van) with a custom interior for social events—side-facing seats, dance floor, colored lights, sound system, and space for coolers or a bar. An “entertainer bus” (or “sleeper coach”) is a motorcoach converted for touring musicians or performers, with 8 to 12 bunks, lounge areas, galley kitchen, shower, and high-end audio/video. It looks like a charter bus from the outside but is built for living on the road.

Most full-size charter buses in Lewisville come standard with reclining cloth or leatherette seats, individual reading lights, overhead parcel racks, climate control, and a restroom at the rear of the coach. Video monitors (either flat-screen or ceiling-mounted), DVD/Blu-ray players, and a PA microphone are standard on newer coaches. WiFi and 110V power outlets are included on many late-model buses; USB charging ports at each seat are becoming common. Larger coaches have one or two underfloor luggage bays. Optional upgrades include leatherette upholstery, wood-look flooring, and custom video inputs.

Yes, most newer charter buses have WiFi available. Many late-model coaches now include WiFi as a standard feature, and it’s available as an option on most other buses. The system uses a cellular data connection (4G LTE or 5G) to provide internet access throughout the coach. It’s fine for email, web browsing, and social media; streaming video or large downloads may be restricted to preserve bandwidth. Some systems allow the group leader to set a password or control access. If WiFi is important for your trip, let us know when you request a quote so we can confirm it’s available on your bus.

A full-size charter bus has enough luggage space for every passenger to bring a large suitcase plus a carry-on bag. Most coaches have one or two luggage bays under the floor that can hold 50–56 roller bags or duffel bags. There are also overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for backpacks, briefcases, or smaller items. For trips where everyone brings a suitcase (like airport transfers, sports teams, or overnight trips), the luggage bays can handle it. If your group has extra-large items—coolers, band equipment, display cases—let us know in advance so we can be sure everything will fit. Minibuses and smaller coaches have less luggage space and may not have underfloor bays.

Yes! We can provide ADA-accessible charter buses in Lewisville and anywhere else your group needs to go. Many of our newer buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Just let us know what you need when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure your bus meets all ADA requirements.

Yes, you can wrap a charter bus with your own graphics, logo, or advertising. Full wraps, partial wraps, and window decals are available. Wraps are popular for sports teams, corporate branding, special events, and political campaigns. The cost depends on the size of the wrap and installation; allow extra time before your trip for design and application.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model, manufacturer, or exterior color—just let us know what you need when you call for a quote. We work with all the major coach manufacturers (Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, etc.) and can usually provide the exact model or color you want if we have enough advance notice. White is the most common exterior color, but black, silver, and custom wraps are also available. If you need matching coaches for a large event, we can arrange multiple buses of the same model and color. Special requests for upholstery, flooring, or interior options can also be accommodated on most newer coaches.

The cost of a charter bus rental in Lewisville varies based on the size of the bus, the length of the trip, and the time of year. Local rentals are typically billed by the hour (with a 4- or 5-hour minimum), while longer trips are billed by the mile or by the day. As a rough estimate, a local charter bus rental might cost $900–$1,800 for a half-day event, while a multi-day out-of-town trip could run $3,500–$6,500 or more. Minibuses are less expensive than full-size coaches. The best way to get an accurate price is to call us at 945-425-4260 with your trip details. We’ll give you an all-inclusive quote that covers the bus, driver, fuel, tolls, and any parking or lodging expenses.

Minibus rentals in Lewisville generally cost 20–30% less than a full-size charter bus. Local trips are billed by the hour (with a 4- or 5-hour minimum), while longer trips are billed by the mile or by the day. As a rough estimate, a minibus might cost $650–$1,200 for a local half-day rental, or $1,800–$3,800 per day for longer trips. The best way to get an exact price is to call us with your trip details.

Several factors can affect the price of your charter bus rental, including the size and type of bus, the distance and duration of the trip, the time of year, and any additional amenities or special requests. Peak seasons (like spring and fall) tend to be more expensive, as do trips that require the bus to be empty for one leg (deadhead). Additional costs may include tolls, parking, driver lodging, and optional amenities like WiFi or custom wraps.

Every quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, tolls, and basic amenities (A/C, restroom, PA, video monitors). WiFi and power outlets are included on most newer coaches. Any parking fees, bridge/tunnel tolls, or driver lodging will be itemized. Gratuity is optional but not included. There are no hidden fees—everything is spelled out in advance.

It’s best to book your bus as early as possible—ideally 2 to 6 months in advance for the best availability and pricing. Spring and fall are peak seasons for school trips, sports, and weddings, so buses can book up quickly. For major events, holiday weekends, or custom coaches, 6 to 12 months’ notice is not too early. Last-minute bookings (less than 2 weeks) are possible if we have availability, but selection may be limited and prices may be higher. Once you have your dates and itinerary, call us for a quote. A signed contract and deposit will secure your reservation; the balance is due before departure.

Getting a quote is easy—just call our 24-hour reservations team at 945-425-4260 and tell us your pickup location, destination, departure date and time, return date and time, and approximately how many passengers you expect. We’ll check availability and give you a custom quote in minutes. If you have special requests—multiple pickups, parking passes, ADA accessibility, WiFi—let us know so we can include everything. Once you have a quote, you can compare options and decide what works best for your group. There’s no obligation and no pressure to book until you’re ready.

Yes, we offer flexible packages to fit any itinerary—one-way transfers, round-trip charters, multi-day out-and-back trips, and complex itineraries with multiple stops. One-way trips (such as airport transfers or point-to-point moves) are available to any destination. Round-trip charters can be same-day or overnight. Multi-day packages are common for tours, sports tournaments, and destination events. If your group needs to be dropped off and picked up days later, we’ll quote the total package including any layover or deadhead mileage.

Whether you’re planning a multi-day trip to Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, or even farther afield, we’ll make sure you have a comfortable, reliable coach for the journey. Just provide your itinerary when you request a quote so we can plan for driver hours and any required layovers.

For overnight and multi-day trips, the group is responsible for providing (and paying for) the driver’s hotel room. The room should be reserved in advance at the same hotel as the group, or within walking distance. Most hotels comp the driver’s room when booking a block of rooms. The driver will need access to restroom and shower facilities. For single-day or local trips, no accommodations are needed. On longer trips, the driver must have a private room to comply with federal hours-of-service regulations. The cost of the driver’s room is not included in the bus quote. Please provide the hotel name and address so the driver’s layover can be scheduled.

Book early for the best availability and rates—spring and fall are peak seasons. Have a detailed itinerary with addresses and times for each stop. Ask about parking and loading zones at your destinations. Factor in tolls, bridge fees, and driver lodging for overnight trips. Bring snacks and drinks, but avoid messy foods and glass containers. Leave valuables at home—overhead racks are not secure. Allow extra time for traffic, weather, and rest breaks. Stay in contact with your driver or dispatcher. Count heads before departure and after each stop. Carry emergency contact information and a cell phone charger. Relax and enjoy the ride—charter bus travel is safe, comfortable, and efficient.
