A charter bus is a large motor vehicle designed to transport groups of people together to a pre-arranged destination or on a custom itinerary. Unlike a scheduled public bus or intercity coach, a charter bus is hired (or “chartered”) by a private group—such as a school, company, sports team, or wedding party—for exclusive use. The bus follows a schedule set by the client, making it ideal for events, trips, and multi-stop journeys. Modern charter buses offer comfortable seating, climate control, luggage storage, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi or video screens. Smaller “minibuses” with 18–35 seats are also available for compact groups or shorter trips.

Most full-size charter buses are 40–45 feet long and about 12 feet high, with a sleek, aerodynamic shape. They have a flat front, large tinted windows running the length of the vehicle, and smooth sides that may be painted white, black, silver, or another solid color. Many coaches feature subtle trim or can be wrapped with custom graphics. There are one or two entry doors on the right side—one at the front and sometimes a second mid-bus—and several luggage bay doors below the windows. The roofline is slightly curved, with air conditioning units mounted on top. LED marker lights run along the roof and corners, and the rear is squared off with large brake and signal lights. Wheels are typically steel or aluminum with polished covers.

Full-size charter buses typically seat between 50 and 56 passengers, depending on the model and interior configuration. Common capacities include 50, 52, 54, and 56 seats. Smaller “minibus” options are available with anywhere from 18 to 35 seats, making them ideal for compact groups or short-distance trips. All seating is forward-facing and arranged in rows along a center aisle, with pairs of seats on each side. Larger coaches maximize capacity while still providing comfortable legroom and reclining seats. When requesting a quote, be sure to specify your group size so we can match you with a bus that has the right number of seats.

Anyone who needs to move a large group of people at once can rent a charter bus! In North Miami, we commonly work with school groups going on field trips to places like the Museum of Contemporary Art, corporate teams attending conferences downtown, sports fans heading to games at Hard Rock Stadium, wedding parties shuttling guests between venues, and church groups planning retreats or mission trips. We also serve military organizations, senior citizen outings, music tours, and more. Whether you’re planning a one-day event or a multi-city tour, we can help you find the perfect bus.

We offer a full range of vehicles in North Miami, including 15-, 18-, 20-, 25-, 28-, 30-, 35-, 40-, 45-, 50-, 55- and 56-passenger minibuses and charter buses from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, Setra, MCI, and Temsa. Smaller groups can book a minibus with 18 to 35 seats, while larger groups often choose a full-size motorcoach with up to 56 seats. We also have party buses (15–40 seats), sprinter vans (10–15 seats), and entertainer coaches (up to 12 bunk beds) for special events or VIP travel. If you need something specific—like an ADA-accessible bus or a vehicle with extra luggage space—just ask. We can provide multiple buses for very large groups or custom packages that fit your exact needs.

A charter bus and a coach bus are essentially the same thing: a large, comfortable vehicle designed to transport groups of people over short or long distances. These buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and are used for everything from school trips to corporate events. A party bus is a smaller vehicle (often built on a bus or limo chassis) that’s been customized for celebrations, with perimeter seating, dance floors, lighting effects, and sound systems. An entertainer bus—also known as a sleeper bus—is a custom coach designed for touring musicians or performers. It includes bunk beds, lounge areas, a kitchen, and sometimes a private bedroom. Entertainer buses prioritize sleeping and living space over seating capacity.

Most modern charter buses come standard with reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control (A/C and heat), overhead parcel racks, and undercarriage luggage bays. Additional amenities often include flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, a public address (PA) system, and one or two onboard restrooms. Many coaches now offer free Wi-Fi and 110V/USB power outlets at each seat. Optional upgrades can include leather upholstery, tray tables, footrests, and custom lighting. Larger buses may have a second flat-screen monitor mid-cabin. All seating is forward-facing with padded headrests. Interior finishes are durable and easy to clean, with vinyl or carpeted flooring. Exterior colors are typically white, silver, or black.

Yes, most modern charter buses offer onboard Wi-Fi as a standard amenity. The Wi-Fi system connects to the internet via a cellular data network, allowing passengers to browse the web, check email, and use social media on their phones, tablets, or laptops. Bandwidth is typically sufficient for basic online activities but may not support streaming video or large downloads when the bus is full. Some operators offer upgraded Wi-Fi packages with faster speeds or higher data limits for an additional fee. If reliable internet access is important for your trip—especially for corporate groups or longer journeys—be sure to request a bus with Wi-Fi when booking. The network name and password will be provided onboard.

A full-size charter bus offers substantial luggage capacity, with both undercarriage bays and interior parcel racks. The exterior baggage compartments run the length of the coach below the floor and can accommodate large suitcases, duffel bags, or equipment cases—typically one large bag per passenger. Additional carry-on items can be stored inside the cabin on overhead parcel racks above the seats. For a standard 56-passenger coach, total luggage capacity is approximately 50–60 cubic feet below deck plus additional space inside. This is sufficient for most group trips, including airport transfers and multi-day tours. If your group has bulky items—such as sports gear, musical instruments, or trade show displays—notify the operator in advance to ensure adequate space. Minibuses have limited luggage capacity with only rear or interior storage.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model or color, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your preference based on fleet availability. When booking, simply specify the make, model, or color scheme you’d like—for example, requesting a black MCI J4500 or a white Prevost H3-45. While we maintain a diverse fleet of popular models in standard colors (white, black, silver), exact availability may vary depending on your travel dates and group size. We’ll confirm whether your preferred vehicle is available and offer the closest alternative if not. For large events requiring multiple buses, we can often provide several coaches of the same model and color for a uniform appearance.

Rates vary based on vehicle size, trip duration, mileage, and seasonality. Full-size charter buses (50–56 passengers) typically cost $1,200–$3,500 per day for local trips, with longer or multi-day trips billed by the mile or day. Minibuses (18–35 passengers) are less expensive, while specialty vehicles like party buses and entertainer coaches cost more. Call 786-998-6620 for an instant, all-inclusive quote.

Minibus rentals generally cost $600–$2,000 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle (18–35 seats), trip length, and time of year. Short local trips may be priced by the hour (with a 4-hour minimum), while longer trips are billed by mileage or day. Ask for a quick quote.

Yes—if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. Most groups book a room at the same hotel where they’re staying. The driver’s room should be single-occupancy and reserved under the driver’s name. For multi-day trips, the driver will need a room each night. If your itinerary requires late-night or early-morning departures, make sure the hotel is aware. Some hotels offer discounted rates for bus drivers. If your trip is longer than 8 hours, you may need to provide two drivers.

Book early, especially for spring break and winter season. Provide a detailed itinerary, including all pickup/drop-off addresses and times. Ask about parking/toll fees. Inspect the vehicle before departure. Exchange contact info with the driver. Bring snacks, water, and entertainment for longer trips. Tip your driver (recommended: $2–$4 per passenger per day).
