A charter bus (also called a motorcoach or coach bus) is a large vehicle designed to transport groups of people over long distances. These buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and are equipped with comfortable reclining seats, overhead storage bins, undercarriage luggage bays, restrooms, air conditioning, WiFi, power outlets, and TV monitors with DVD players. Charter buses are ideal for transporting large groups to events, conferences, sporting events, or on multi-day trips across the state or country. They offer the most seating capacity and storage space of any option in our fleet.

A minibus is a smaller, more compact version of a charter bus that typically seats between 18 and 35 passengers. Minibuses are great for short-distance trips around town, such as shuttling wedding guests between venues, transporting employees from a park-and-ride lot to the office, or taking a youth sports team to a tournament. While they don’t have undercarriage luggage bays like full-size coaches, minibuses still offer comfortable seating, air conditioning, and optional amenities like WiFi and power outlets. They’re easier to maneuver in city traffic and can access smaller parking lots that larger buses can’t.

Our charter buses in Hollywood typically seat between 40 and 56 passengers, depending on the exact model and configuration. The most common size is a 56-passenger motorcoach, which is ideal for large groups traveling long distances. We also have slightly smaller options that seat 50, 52, or 54 people if you need something just under full capacity. All of these buses offer spacious interiors with reclining seats, armrests, and plenty of legroom so everyone can ride comfortably.

Minibuses generally seat anywhere from 18 to 35 passengers, making them perfect for medium-sized groups who don’t need a full-size coach. In Hollywood, our most popular minibus sizes are 20-passenger, 25-passenger, and 28-passenger models. These vehicles are great for shuttling wedding guests, corporate commuters, or small sports teams around Broward County. If you’re not sure what size you need, just tell us your headcount and we’ll match you with the best option.

We offer a wide range of bus types in Hollywood to accommodate groups of any size. Our fleet includes 56-passenger charter buses, 50-passenger charter buses, 40-passenger charter buses, 35-passenger minibuses, 28-passenger minibuses, 25-passenger minibuses, 20-passenger minibuses, and even smaller sprinter vans for groups of 10-15 people. If you have specific seating requirements or need multiple vehicles, we can customize a package to fit your exact needs.

All of our Hollywood bus rentals come standard with comfortable seats and strong air conditioning—essential for South Florida weather! Charter buses usually include an onboard restroom, free WiFi, power outlets at every row, DVD players with flat-screen monitors, PA systems for announcements, overhead parcel racks, and large undercarriage luggage bays. Minibuses may offer WiFi, power outlets, and TV monitors but typically do not have restrooms or separate luggage compartments. If you need something specific like USB ports, extra monitor screens, or tables for working en route, let us know when you book.

Many of our buses are equipped with sound systems that allow you to play your own music through AUX or Bluetooth connections. This is perfect for setting the mood on a wedding shuttle, pumping up a sports team before a big game, or just keeping your group entertained during the ride. If having this feature is important to you, please mention it when booking so we can ensure your bus has the right setup.

Charter buses offer the most luggage space, with large undercarriage bays that can hold full-size suitcases for every passenger plus additional gear like coolers, band instruments, or sports equipment. There are also overhead racks inside the cabin for smaller bags and personal items. Minibuses have limited storage—usually just overhead shelves and maybe a small rear compartment—so they’re best for groups traveling light. If you’re bringing oversized items like bicycles, trade show displays, or tailgating tents, let us know so we can recommend a vehicle with enough capacity.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses in Hollywood and throughout Broward County. These vehicles are equipped with wheelchair lifts or ramps, wider aisles, designated securement areas, and accessible restrooms (on full-size coaches). If anyone in your group has mobility challenges or other special requirements, please let us know when you request a quote so we can match you with a suitable vehicle. There is no extra charge for requesting an ADA-accessible bus.

Yes, you can wrap your charter bus with custom graphics for branding, advertising, or special events. This is popular for corporate groups attending conventions at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center, sports teams traveling to tournaments, or companies running promotional tours. Full wraps cover the entire exterior of the bus, while partial wraps or decals can be applied to specific areas. You’ll need to provide the artwork and cover the cost of installation and removal. Please discuss your plans with us in advance so we can coordinate logistics and ensure the wrap meets our guidelines.

If you have a preference for a specific bus model or color, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, and Ford, available in colors such as white, black, blue, and silver. While we can’t always guarantee a particular make or shade due to scheduling and availability, we’ll try to match your specifications as closely as possible—especially for high-profile events where appearance matters.

The cost of renting a charter bus in Hollywood depends on several factors including the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, time of year, and any special requests. For a quick estimate, local trips within Broward County typically start around $1,200-$2,500 per day for a full-size coach. Longer journeys—such as multi-day excursions to Orlando theme parks or Key West—will be priced by the mile or day. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call us with your itinerary so we can calculate the total based on your exact needs.

Minibus rentals generally cost less than full-size charter buses, making them a budget-friendly option for smaller groups. Rates in Hollywood usually range from $900 to $1,800 per day depending on the size of the minibus, duration of the charter, and distance traveled. Shorter shuttles—for example, moving wedding guests between a hotel and beachfront venue—may be quoted at an hourly rate with a minimum number of hours. As always, the fastest way to get a precise price is to contact us with your trip details.

Several factors influence the price of a bus rental in Hollywood: type and size of vehicle (charter bus vs. minibus), total mileage or number of days, time of year (peak season rates may apply during spring break or major festivals), and any optional amenities or customizations like onboard WiFi, catering, or exterior wraps. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking fees at destinations like Hard Rock Stadium or Port Everglades, overnight stays requiring driver accommodation, and extended layovers. Providing a detailed itinerary upfront helps us give you the most accurate quote with no hidden surprises.

Your quote includes the use of the bus for the duration of your trip, driver’s wages, fuel, standard amenities (A/C, WiFi, power outlets), and basic insurance coverage. It does not cover parking fees, road/bridge tolls, gratuity for the driver (customary but optional), lodging for the driver on overnight trips, or any special requests like catering or bus wrapping. We’ll spell out exactly what’s included when we send your quote so you know what to expect.

We recommend booking your bus as early as possible—ideally 3-6 months in advance for large events or peak travel periods like spring break, winter holidays, or major festivals. This gives you the best selection of vehicles and locks in current rates before demand goes up. Last-minute bookings are possible (sometimes within 24-48 hours), but availability may be limited and prices higher. For smaller groups or off-season trips, 4-8 weeks’ notice is usually sufficient.

Yes, we offer flexible packages to suit any itinerary: one-way charters (e.g., airport transfers to FLL or MIA), round-trip service (such as day trips to Miami Beach or Sawgrass Mills), and multi-day rentals for extended tours or out-of-town events. You can customize pickup/drop-off times and locations anywhere in Hollywood or beyond. If your schedule spans several days—like a school trip to Disney World or a corporate retreat in Naples—we’ll keep the bus dedicated to your group for the duration.

Absolutely! Our buses regularly travel statewide and beyond. Popular long-distance routes include Hollywood to Orlando (Disney, Universal, SeaWorld), Tampa Bay Area (sports games, Busch Gardens), Naples/Fort Myers (Gulf Coast resorts), Key West (overnight excursions), and even out-of-state destinations like Atlanta or New Orleans. For lengthy trips, we’ll build in rest stops and arrange for additional drivers if needed to comply with hours-of-service regulations.

If your trip itinerary requires an overnight stay outside of Hollywood, you will need to provide hotel accommodations for your driver. The hotel should be a national chain rated 2 stars or higher and must provide the driver with their own room. This ensures the driver has a safe and comfortable place to rest before continuing the trip. If your trip does not require an overnight stay, you do not need to provide lodging for the driver. If you have questions about whether your itinerary will require overnight accommodations, please ask your reservation specialist when booking.

Plan your itinerary with exact addresses and timing for each stop—this helps us run an efficient schedule and avoid delays. Factor in extra time for traffic congestion, especially if crossing I-95 or heading into downtown Miami during rush hour. Communicate any special needs upfront, such as ADA accessibility, oversized luggage, or onboard refreshments. Budget for incidental expenses like tolls (e.g., Florida’s Turnpike), parking at venues like the Hard Rock, and driver gratuity (industry standard is 10-20%). Stay in touch with your driver or dispatcher on the day of travel for real-time updates. And finally, relax—once you’re on board, we’ve got everything covered!
