A charter bus is a large vehicle designed to carry 40 to 56 passengers comfortably over long distances. They are perfect for big groups traveling together for events like school trips, sports games, weddings, business conferences, or multi-day tours. Charter buses come with amenities like cushioned seats, air conditioning, restrooms, overhead storage, and undercarriage luggage bays. Some even have Wi-Fi, power outlets, TVs, and DVD players. Charter buses are great for trips from Flint to Detroit, Chicago, Toronto, or anywhere your group needs to go.

A minibus is a smaller bus that seats between 15 and 35 passengers. They are ideal for short-distance trips around town, airport transfers, shuttle services, or transporting small groups to special events. Minibuses are easier to maneuver than full-size charter buses and can navigate narrow streets and tight parking lots. They still offer comfortable seating and basic amenities like air conditioning and overhead racks. Some models have Wi-Fi, USB ports, or PA systems. Minibuses are perfect for shuttling guests between hotels and venues in Flint or making quick runs to Bishop International Airport.

Charter buses typically have 40 to 56 seats, depending on the model and configuration. The most common size is a 56-passenger motorcoach, which is great for moving large groups efficiently. Smaller charter buses with 40 or 47 seats are available for mid-sized groups or when you want extra legroom and space. All seats are cushioned and recline for comfort during long rides. If you need to transport more than 56 people, we can send multiple buses or arrange staggered departures to fit your schedule.

Minibuses come in several sizes, usually seating 15, 20, 25, 28, or 35 passengers. The exact number depends on the make and model of the bus. Smaller minibuses with 15 to 20 seats are perfect for quick shuttles or small teams, while larger ones with 28 to 35 seats can handle bigger groups without needing a full-size coach. Let us know how many people you’re moving and we’ll match you with the right minibus for your needs.

We offer a wide range of buses to fit any group size or budget. Our fleet includes 56-passenger motorcoaches, 47-passenger charter buses, 40-passenger executive coaches, 35-passenger minibuses, 28-passenger mid-size buses, 25-passenger party buses, 20-passenger shuttle vans, and 15-passenger sprinter vans. We also have ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts and securement areas. All our vehicles are clean, modern, and comfortable. If you need something specific, just ask!

Our Flint bus rentals come with a variety of amenities to make your ride comfortable and enjoyable. Standard features include cushioned seats, air conditioning, heating, overhead storage, and reading lights. Many buses have free Wi-Fi, power outlets or USB ports at every seat, flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and PA systems. Larger coaches may have onboard restrooms, reclining seats with footrests, tray tables, and cup holders. Premium options include leather upholstery, wood-look flooring, mood lighting, mini-fridges, and even karaoke machines. Tell us what you want and we’ll get you a bus that has it!

Yes, most of our buses have sound systems that let you play your own music through AUX, Bluetooth, or USB connections. You can hook up your phone, tablet, or laptop and control the playlist for the whole ride. Some coaches have CD/DVD players that can also play audio through the speakers. If playing music is important to your group, please mention it when booking so we can confirm the bus has the right setup.

Charter buses have plenty of luggage space for big groups. A 56-passenger motorcoach has undercarriage bays that can hold up to 100 cubic feet of baggage—enough for everyone to bring a suitcase and a carry-on. There are also overhead racks inside the cabin for smaller items like backpacks, purses, or jackets. Minibuses have less storage but can still fit several duffel bags or cases behind the last row or in a rear compartment. If you’re carrying extra gear like coolers, strollers, or musical instruments, let us know so we can recommend a bus with enough room.

Yes, we offer ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, ramps, and securement areas. These buses have wider aisles, priority seating, and accessible restrooms if needed. We believe everyone should be able to travel comfortably and safely. If anyone in your group has mobility challenges or special requirements, please tell us when booking so we can provide a bus that meets all ADA standards.

Yes, you can wrap your charter bus with custom graphics for branding, advertising, or decoration. Full wraps cover the entire exterior of the bus, while partial wraps or decals can display logos, slogans, or artwork on specific panels. Wrapping a bus is a great way to promote your company, sports team, or event as you travel around Flint and beyond. We can coordinate with your design team to ensure the wrap fits the dimensions of the bus. Additional fees and advance notice are required for wrapping. Contact us for details and pricing.

You can request a specific bus model or color, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your preference based on availability. Our fleet includes buses in various colors such as white, black, blue, and silver. If you need a particular make or model (e.g., Prevost, MCI, Van Hool, Temsa), let us know when booking. We can also arrange for matching buses if you’re ordering multiple vehicles for a coordinated look. While we strive to fulfill all requests, exact matches cannot be guaranteed during peak seasons.

The cost of renting a charter bus in Flint ranges from $150 to $300 per hour, $1,200 to $2,500 per day, or $4 to $8 per mile, depending on the size of the bus, duration of the trip, and distance traveled.

The final price depends on how long you need the bus, how far you’re going, and what amenities you want.

Several factors affect the price of a bus rental: size and type of bus, length of trip, total mileage, time of year, and any special requests. Bigger buses with more seats and premium amenities cost more than basic models. Longer trips that require overnight stays or multiple days will increase the rate. Peak season (spring and fall) sees higher prices due to high demand for graduations, weddings, and sports events. Optional extras like ADA accessibility, custom wraps, or luxury features may add to the total. Always book early to lock in the best rate.

Your quote includes the bus, driver’s time, fuel, standard insurance, and all taxes and fees. Onboard amenities such as Wi-Fi, power outlets, A/C, and restroom (if applicable) are part of the package. Tolls, parking charges, and driver’s hotel (for overnight trips) are not included and should be covered by the group. Gratuity for the driver is optional but appreciated. There are no hidden costs—everything will be clearly listed in your contract before you sign.

It’s best to book your Flint bus rental at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially for large events or during busy seasons. Spring and early summer fill up quickly with proms, graduations, and wedding shuttles. Fall weekends are popular for football games and corporate retreats. Last-minute bookings are possible but selection may be limited. For major events like Back to the Bricks or UM-Flint commencement, reserve your bus as soon as you have a date. Early reservations get the best choice of vehicles and lowest rates.

Yes, we offer flexible packages to suit any itinerary. One-way rentals are available for airport transfers, relocation moves, or point-to-point service. Round-trip bookings are common for weddings, concerts, and day trips where the group returns to the starting point. Multi-day charters can be arranged for tours, conferences, or out-of-state travel with the bus staying with you the entire time. We customize the schedule to fit your needs—just tell us where and when you want to go.

We provide long-distance bus rentals to anywhere in Michigan, the Midwest, or across the country. Popular destinations include Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Toronto.

Cross-country trips are no problem—just give us your route and we’ll make it happen.

If your trip requires overnight stays away from Flint, you must provide a separate hotel room for the driver each night. This ensures they are rested and ready to operate the bus safely. The hotel should have secure parking for the bus and be located near the group’s lodging if possible. Most clients book a standard room at the same hotel as the passengers. The cost of the driver’s accommodation is not included in the rental fee and should be budgeted separately.
