A charter bus is a large, professionally operated vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to a destination or event of their choice. Unlike a city bus or public transit, a charter bus runs on a schedule and route set entirely by the customer. People commonly use them for group travel such as corporate outings, sporting events, weddings, school trips, or multi-day tours. They’re valued for their comfort, onboard amenities, and ability to keep large groups together traveling directly from point A to point B.

A charter bus is a large, boxy vehicle with a high roofline and smooth sides, typically painted white, black, or another solid color. It has huge tinted windows running the length of the cabin, a front door just behind the driver, and several luggage bay doors below the windows on either side. The front end slopes gently downward with a wide windshield and prominent side mirrors. Most ride on six wheels (three axles) with the rear wheels set close to the back of the bus. The overall look is streamlined and professional, built for moving large groups comfortably over long distances.

Most full-size charter buses seat between 50 and 56 passengers, though some models can accommodate up to 60. Smaller minibuses typically offer 18, 20, or 25 seats, making them ideal for mid-sized groups or shorter trips. We can also provide even larger vehicles—up to 60 seats—if you need extra capacity. If you’re traveling with a very large group, we can send multiple buses to accommodate everyone.

Anyone who needs to move a group of people from one place to another can rent a charter bus! Common customers include schools, sports teams, businesses, wedding parties, religious groups, military organizations, senior citizen groups, and event planners. People often rent buses for field trips, corporate events, athletic competitions, airport transfers, conferences, festivals, or multi-day tours. They’re also popular for shuttling guests to weddings, concerts, or cruise terminals. Even families or friends planning a group vacation will book a bus to make travel easier and more enjoyable.

We offer a wide range of buses in Sunrise, including full-size motorcoaches, several sizes of minibuses, party buses, and entertainer coaches. Our full-size charter buses typically seat 56 passengers, though some models can accommodate up to 60. Minibuses are available in 18-, 20-, and 25-passenger configurations. Party buses usually hold between 15 and 40 people, depending on the model. Entertainer coaches are designed for touring artists or VIP groups and can sleep up to 12 people in bunk-style accommodations. If you need something smaller, we also have sprinter vans that seat up to 15 passengers. Just let us know how many people you’re traveling with, and we’ll recommend the best option for your group!

A charter bus (or coach bus) is a standard passenger vehicle designed for comfortable group travel with forward-facing seats and amenities like restrooms and luggage bays. A party bus is built for on-the-move celebrations, featuring perimeter seating, dance floors, lighting, and sound systems—perfect for weddings or nights out. An entertainer bus (or sleeper coach) caters to touring performers or VIPs, offering sleeping bunks, lounge areas, and kitchens for multi-day trips. The main differences are in layout and amenities: charter/coach buses prioritize seated comfort and storage; party buses focus on open space and entertainment; entertainer buses provide living quarters for extended travel.

Most modern buses come standard with reclining seats, air conditioning, overhead reading lights, luggage racks, and undercarriage storage bays. Many also feature flat-screen monitors with DVD players, sound systems with PA microphones, and optional WiFi and 110V power outlets at each seat. Larger coaches often include a restroom at the rear of the cabin. Premium models may offer leather upholstery, individual climate controls, USB charging ports, and Bluetooth audio. Some buses can be equipped with tables for playing cards or working on laptops. If you require specific amenities—such as WiFi, power outlets, or video screens—please mention this when booking so we can assign a vehicle that meets your needs.

Yes, many of our charter buses offer onboard WiFi—just ask your reservation specialist to confirm availability when booking. While coverage is generally reliable, speeds may vary depending on the route and number of connected devices. On longer trips, WiFi is perfect for checking email, browsing the web, or streaming music and video. If internet access is essential for your group, be sure to request a bus with WiFi so we can accommodate your needs.

A standard 56-passenger charter bus can easily accommodate up to 56 suitcases—one per passenger—in the undercarriage storage bays, plus additional smaller bags in the overhead racks inside the cabin. Minibuses have less storage space but can still handle carry-on-sized luggage for each passenger. If your group is traveling with oversized items such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or display materials, please let us know in advance so we can arrange a vehicle with sufficient cargo space. Additional storage options may be available for bulky or unusual items.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses equipped with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and designated securement areas. These vehicles also feature accessible restrooms and priority seating for passengers with mobility challenges. When booking, please specify any accessibility requirements so we can assign a properly equipped vehicle and ensure a smooth boarding process. Our team is experienced in accommodating passengers with disabilities and will make every effort to meet your needs.

Yes, you can wrap your bus with custom graphics or advertising, but there are restrictions. Full wraps may be allowed on select vehicles for multi-day rentals, while partial wraps and window decals are permitted on most buses. Artwork must be approved in advance, and installation should be scheduled before the rental period begins. Additional fees apply for application and removal. Please discuss your wrapping needs when booking so we can recommend a suitable vehicle and provide a quote.

We will do our best to accommodate requests for specific bus models, manufacturers, or exterior colors. While we cannot guarantee the availability of a particular vehicle, we can often assign one that meets your preferences if given sufficient notice. Please mention any special requests when booking, and we will try to match them. Keep in mind that fulfilling specific requests may depend on fleet availability and scheduling.

The cost of a bus rental in Sunrise varies based on the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, and time of year.

For multi-day trips requiring an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should offer secure parking for the bus and be located near the group’s lodging. Most customers book a room at the same hotel where the group is staying. For single-day trips or charters not requiring an overnight stay, no accommodations are needed.

Plan your itinerary with precise pickup and drop-off locations, accounting for traffic around major venues like Amerant Bank Arena or Sawgrass Mills. Secure parking permits in advance for large vehicles, especially in downtown areas or at event sites. Book early during busy seasons when events and festivals increase demand. Communicate special requests such as accessibility or extra luggage space upfront. Allow buffer time in your schedule for loading, unloading, and potential delays. Prepare for tolls and parking fees along routes like I-595 and the Sawgrass Expressway. Stay in contact with your driver or dispatcher during the trip, and designate a group leader to coordinate with the driver. Consider weather conditions and plan accordingly.
