A charter bus is a full-size motorcoach designed for long-distance travel and large groups. These buses typically seat 40-56 passengers and come with features like reclining seats, air conditioning, restrooms, TVs, DVD players, and lots of storage space. Charter buses are great for taking school groups on trips to Houston or Dallas, moving sports teams with all their equipment, or providing comfortable transportation for conferences and conventions. They’re built for comfort and efficiency on the road.

A minibus is a smaller version of a charter bus, usually seating between 18 and 35 passengers. These are perfect for shorter trips around town, such as shuttling wedding guests from a hotel to the ceremony, getting employees to off-site meetings, or running a campus loop for students. Minibuses are easier to maneuver in city traffic and can fit into tighter parking areas, making them ideal for local routes and quick transfers.

Charter buses come in several sizes, but most have between 40 and 56 seats. The exact number depends on the model and how it’s configured. Some have extra legroom or larger restrooms, which might reduce the seat count slightly. When you call us, let us know how many people you need to move, and we’ll match you with a bus that has enough seats for everyone.

Minibuses generally have anywhere from 18 to 35 seats. Smaller models are great for quick trips across town, while larger ones can handle medium-sized groups going to places like Kyle Field for a game or downtown Bryan for a night out. If you’re not sure what size you need, just ask—we’ll help you pick the right one.

We offer a wide range of buses to fit any group size. Our fleet includes minibuses (18-35 seats), midsize coaches (36-39 seats), and full-size charter buses (40-56 seats). Each type comes with different features, so whether you need something basic for a short shuttle or a luxury coach for a long-distance trip, we have options. Let us know what your priorities are—like seat count, storage, or amenities—and we’ll find the best fit.

Our buses come with a variety of amenities to keep your group comfortable and entertained. Standard features include cushioned seats, strong AC, and plenty of overhead storage. Many buses also have free WiFi, power outlets at every seat, flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and PA systems for announcements. If you need extra luggage space, onboard restrooms, or ADA-accessible lifts, we can provide that too. Just tell us what would make your ride better, and we’ll make it happen.

Most of our newer buses are equipped with either an AUX input, Bluetooth connectivity, or both, so you can play your own playlists through the sound system. This is great for setting the mood on a wedding shuttle, pumping up a sports team before a game, or just keeping everyone entertained during a long drive. If having this feature is important to you, mention it when you book so we can confirm it’s available on your bus.

Full-size charter buses have the most storage, with large undercarriage bays that can hold multiple suitcases per passenger, plus overhead racks inside for smaller bags. Minibuses have less space—usually just overhead racks and maybe a small rear compartment—but are still sufficient for day trips or light packers. If your group has a lot of gear, like band instruments or sports equipment, let us know so we can recommend a bus with enough room.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses with features like wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and designated seating areas. Accessibility is important, and we want everyone in your group to be able to travel comfortably. Please request an ADA-accessible bus when you book so we can ensure it’s available for your dates.

Absolutely! Wrapping your bus with custom graphics is a great way to promote your brand, event, or team.

We’ll do our best to accommodate requests for specific models or colors, especially if you have branding guidelines or want all your shuttles to match. Our fleet includes several makes and models, so while we can’t always guarantee an exact match, we’ll get as close as possible. For special requests, the more advance notice you give us, the better.

The price of a charter bus rental depends on factors like distance, duration, and amenities. Local trips within Bryan might cost a few hundred dollars, while longer journeys to cities like Austin or San Antonio will be more. Full-size charter buses (40-56 seats) generally start around $150-250 per hour or $1,200-2,500 per day, depending on mileage and amenities. For a detailed quote, call our team at 979-810-0040.

Minibus rentals are usually less expensive than full-size coaches, with rates starting around $125-200 per hour or $900-1,800 per day.

Short shuttles between local venues will cost less than an all-day charter to Houston or Dallas.

Several things influence the cost of renting a bus: the size and type of bus, how many days you need it, total miles traveled, and any extra amenities like WiFi or custom wraps. Busy seasons like spring graduation or football weekends can also impact availability and pricing. To get the best rate, try to book early and provide as much detail as possible about your itinerary.

Your quote covers the use of the bus, driver’s time, fuel, and standard amenities (AC, seats, storage). Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees, and optional extras like WiFi, entertainment systems, or custom wraps. Gratuity for the driver is not included but is appreciated. We’ll break down all charges upfront so there are no surprises.

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for large events or during peak seasons. For major Texas A&M football games, spring formals, or holiday weekends, reserve your bus at least 3-6 months ahead. For smaller groups or off-peak times, 4-6 weeks is usually sufficient. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible, but choices may be limited.

Tell us what you need, and we’ll customize a plan.

Absolutely! Our buses regularly travel to destinations across Texas and beyond.

Long-distance trips require extra planning, so contact us early to discuss routes, rest stops, and driver schedules.

If your trip involves overnight stays away from Bryan, you’ll need to arrange lodging for your driver. The hotel should be safe, clean, and provide easy access to the bus.

Plan your itinerary with as much detail as possible, including exact addresses and timing for each stop. Consider traffic patterns around Texas A&M on game days or construction zones that could affect your route. Make sure your venue has space for a large bus to park or unload safely. Communicate any special needs, like ADA accessibility or extra luggage space, when you book. And don’t forget to budget for driver gratuity—it’s customary to tip 10-20% for good service.
