A charter bus (also called a motorcoach or coach bus) is a large vehicle designed to transport groups of people together on custom routes and schedules. Unlike a public transit or a scheduled intercity bus, a charter bus is rented privately by a single group—such as a school, company, sports team, or wedding party—and goes exactly where and when the renter wants. Charter buses are commonly used for events, trips, shuttles, and tours that require moving 20–50+ people at once. They offer comfortable seating, onboard amenities, and luggage space for longer-distance or multi-hour travel.

Most full-size charter buses are 40–45 feet long, about 12 feet tall, and 8.5 feet wide. They have a rectangular, aerodynamic shape with a flat front, large tinted windows along both sides, and smooth fiberglass or metal body panels. The roofline is typically straight from front to back. There are one or two entry doors on the right side—one at the front, and sometimes a second near the rear axle. Luggage bays with locking doors are located below the passenger windows between the wheels. The rear of the bus is flat or slightly rounded with a large window and engine access panel. Exterior colors are usually white, black, silver, or custom paint.

Most full-size charter buses seat 50 to 56 passengers, but the exact number varies by the model and interior layout. Common capacities include 47, 50, 54, 55, and 56 seats. Some coaches can be configured with as few as 40 seats (for extra legroom) or as many as 60 (with narrower seats). Smaller “mini” coaches typically seat 24 to 38 passengers. The seating capacity is always specified when you get a quote.

Anyone who needs to move a large group of people at once! In Brookhaven, we commonly work with local schools, colleges, and universities for field trips, campus tours, or athletic travel; businesses and corporations booking employee shuttles, training sessions, or conference transportation; brides, grooms, and wedding planners arranging guest shuttles between venues; sports teams and fan groups traveling to games or tournaments; church and religious organizations attending retreats or services; senior citizen groups planning outings or casino trips; and event organizers running shuttles for festivals, concerts, or fundraisers. We also help families with reunion travel, cruise terminal transfers, and more.

Charter Bus Rental Brookhaven offers a full range of buses in Brookhaven, including 18-passenger minibuses, 20-passenger minibuses, 25-passenger minibuses, and 56-passenger full-size charter buses. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, and Temsa, so you’ll always have a choice of the newest and most comfortable models available. We can also provide party buses, sprinter vans (seating 10–15), and specialty coaches with custom seating layouts. If you need something even larger, we can arrange multiple buses or an “executive” coach with up to 60 seats. Just tell us your group size and we’ll recommend the best options.

A charter bus and a coach bus are essentially the same thing—both terms refer to a full-size motorcoach designed for group transportation. A party bus is a smaller vehicle (often built on a van or mini-bus chassis) that’s been customized for celebrations, with perimeter seating, dance floors, lighting effects, and sound systems. An entertainer bus (also called a sleeper bus) is a special type of motorcoach used by bands, performers, or VIPs; it’s outfitted with sleeping bunks, lounge areas, a kitchen, and sometimes a private bedroom. Most groups will want either a standard charter/coach bus or a minibus; party and entertainer buses are specialty vehicles for specific types of trips.

Our Brookhaven charter buses can include comfortable reclining seats with headrests and armrests, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks for small bags, and large undercarriage luggage bays. Most newer models come equipped with flat-screen video monitors (one or more), DVD players, a public address (PA) system with microphone, onboard WiFi for internet access, and 110V/USB power outlets at each seat. There is typically a restroom located at the rear of the coach. Additional amenities can include hardwood-style flooring, leatherette upholstery, tray tables, and optional WiFi.

Yes, most of our modern charter buses offer onboard WiFi as a standard amenity. The WiFi is suitable for checking email, browsing the web, and using social media. However, streaming video or downloading large files may be limited depending on cellular coverage along the route. If fast or robust WiFi is essential for your trip, please mention this when booking so we can assign a coach with the best available system. Some older models may not have WiFi, but it can often be added upon request.

A full-size charter bus has ample luggage space for large groups. There are spacious undercarriage luggage bays (accessible from outside the bus) that can hold full-size suitcases, duffel bags, or equipment cases. Additionally, there are overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for smaller bags, backpacks, or briefcases. As a guideline, each passenger can bring one large suitcase plus a carry-on item. If your group has extra luggage, sports equipment, or bulky items, please let us know in advance so we can ensure there’s sufficient storage space.

Yes, Charter Bus Rental Brookhaven can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Just let us know what you need when you call.

Yes, you can wrap your charter bus with a custom design, logo, or advertisement, but there are some restrictions. Full wraps, partial wraps, and window decals are allowed as long as they don’t cover driver visibility areas or required safety markings. The wrap must be professionally installed and removed without damaging the paint. All artwork must be approved in advance. Additional fees apply for installation, removal, and any extended downtime. Please specify that you want a bus wrap when requesting your quote so we can provide exact guidelines, pricing, and scheduling details.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model, manufacturer, or exterior color when booking your charter. We have a variety of coaches from top brands (including Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, Setra, and Temsa) in standard colors like white, black, silver, and gray. If you prefer a particular model—for example, a Prevost H3-45 or a black-on-black coach—please mention this when requesting your quote. We’ll do our best to accommodate your preference based on availability for your dates. While we can’t always guarantee a specific model or color, we’ll get as close as possible and will confirm the assignment before your trip. Custom branding or wraps are also available upon request.

Several factors influence the cost of renting a charter bus in Brookhaven: the type and size of vehicle (minibuses are cheaper than full-size coaches), the total distance traveled (mileage), the duration of the trip (hours or days), and the time of year (peak season rates apply in spring and fall). Additional factors include fuel prices, tolls, parking fees, and whether the trip requires overnight stays or multiple drivers. Special requests such as luxury coaches, custom branding, or onboard amenities (WiFi, power outlets) can also affect the price. Get an instant quote by calling 943-229-8260.

Your quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, insurance, and all miles or hours requested. Tolls, parking, and driver lodging (if needed) are extra.

It’s best to book your bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and fall are peak seasons for bus rentals due to school trips, sports events, and weddings, so buses can sell out quickly during these times. For major events or busy weekends, booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and limited in vehicle selection. Once you have your trip dates and itinerary, secure your reservation with a deposit.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should be a reputable budget or mid-range property (such as Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn, or similar) and must offer parking for the bus. For multi-day trips, the driver’s hotel should be located near the group’s lodging or event venue. If the itinerary includes multiple overnight stops, a separate room must be provided each night. The cost of the driver’s room is not included in the charter fee and is the responsibility of the chartering party. Single-occupancy rooms are required; drivers cannot share rooms with passengers.

Book early, especially for spring and fall trips. Have a detailed itinerary with addresses and times. Ask about parking and loading zones at your destination. Factor in all costs: tolls, parking, driver tip, and lodging. Communicate any special needs (WiFi, ADA access, equipment storage) upfront. Bring snacks and water, but avoid messy foods. Exchange cell numbers with the driver. Allow extra time for Atlanta traffic. Confirm everything in writing before departure.
