A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by a group to travel together on a custom schedule. Unlike a public bus or pre-set tour, a charter bus goes exactly where and when you want—whether that’s a single one-way trip, a multi-stop loop, or a multi-day outing. It’s ideal for moving large groups to events, meetings, games, or across state lines, with all baggage and passengers in one vehicle. Modern charter buses offer comfortable reclining seats, strong climate control, onboard restrooms, and optional amenities like WiFi and video monitors. The rental includes a professional driver, fuel, tolls, and basic insurance.

Most modern charter buses are 40–45 feet long, about 12 feet tall, and 8.5 feet wide. They have a flat front, large tinted side windows, and smooth fiberglass or aluminum body panels. The front end is slightly sloped with a wide windshield and integrated headlights. Sides are mostly flat with three to five luggage bay doors below the windows. Rear has a large engine access panel, vertical taillights, and sometimes a small window. There are two outward-swinging passenger doors: one at the front, just behind the right front wheel, and an emergency exit at the rear left. Roof may have low-profile A/C units or a Wi-Fi antenna but no roof racks. Most are painted white, black, or silver-gray, but custom colors and full vinyl wraps are available.

Full-size charter buses seat 50 to 56 passengers in forward-facing, high-back seats arranged two on each side of a center aisle (2x2 configuration). Smaller models may have 47 or 49 seats; larger ones up to 58 if restroom space is reduced. Seats recline, have folding armrests, and fixed or adjustable headrests. Each seatback has a hard plastic shell with a magazine pocket and sometimes a tray table. Upholstery is durable fabric—either patterned or solid color—not leather or vinyl. Floor is flat with non-slip rubber or carpeted surface. Overhead parcel racks run continuous above both sides, open or with a lip, but no doors. There’s about 36 inches of legroom between seatbacks; no facing seats or tables. Groups larger than 56 need two buses.

Anyone needing to move a group of people at once will rent a charter bus. That includes schools, sports teams, businesses, wedding parties, event planners, church groups, military units, and even families or friends traveling together. It’s a popular choice for field trips, corporate events, game-day transportation, conference shuttles, airport transfers, and multi-day tours.

We offer a full range of buses in Huntersville, including 18-passenger, 20-passenger, and 25-passenger minibuses; 56-passenger full-size charter buses; and several specialty vehicles. Our minibuses are great for small groups or short-distance shuttles, while the 56-seat coach is ideal for large groups, long trips, or anyone needing maximum luggage space. Many models come from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, and Temsa. If you’re not sure which size is best, our team can help you choose based on your headcount, route, and budget.

A charter bus (or coach bus) is a standard, full-size motorcoach designed for comfortable group travel with forward-facing seats, luggage bays, and optional amenities like WiFi or video monitors. A party bus is a smaller vehicle (often built from a minibus or large van) with limo-style seating around the perimeter, colored lighting, sound system, and room to stand or dance—popular for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and nights out. An entertainer bus (or sleeper coach) is similar in size to a charter bus but custom-built with bunks, lounge areas, kitchenette, and sometimes a private bedroom—used by bands, performers, or VIPs on tour. It has fewer passenger seats but more living space.

Most of our Huntersville buses include cushioned reclining seats, strong A/C, overhead parcel racks, reading lights, and a PA system. Larger models (25 seats and up) have an onboard restroom, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, and 1–2 USB/power outlets per row. Wi-Fi is available on most newer buses but must be requested when booking. Full-size coaches (40–56 seats) also include underfloor luggage bays, individual climate vents, and optional 110V outlets. Optional amenities: Wi-Fi, 110V outlets, extra video screens, Bluetooth audio, microphone, and custom exterior wrap. Not available: leather seats, tray tables, reclining footrests, beverage holders, or window shades. All amenities must be confirmed at booking; additional requests cannot be added later.

Yes, many of our newer Huntersville-area charter buses (built 2015 or later) offer onboard Wi-Fi as a standard amenity. The Wi-Fi supports email, web browsing, and social media but does not allow streaming video (Netflix, YouTube), large downloads, or Zoom calls due to bandwidth limits. Connection speed is similar to a strong 4G cellular signal—fast enough for basic tasks but not high-speed broadband. Each bus has a single Wi-Fi network with a simple password; up to 20 devices can connect simultaneously before performance slows. The Wi-Fi covers the entire route, including I-77 and I-485, but may drop briefly in rural areas or under bridges. There is no extra charge for Wi-Fi, but it must be requested when booking to guarantee a bus with this option. Not all older buses have Wi-Fi hardware installed, so advance notice is required.

Full-size (40–56 seat) charter buses have three underfloor luggage bays that hold up to 50 large suitcases—about one per passenger. Each bay measures 90 inches wide, 36 inches high, and 36 inches deep. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin fit backpacks, laptop bags, or small duffel bags—one per person—but not roller bags or hard cases. Minibuses (18–30 seats) have no underfloor bays; only overhead racks and rear cargo area fit 8–10 small bags total. Oversize items (skis, bikes, equipment cases) must be declared when booking to ensure space. All luggage bays lock from outside but are not accessible during stops. There are no weight limits, but heavy cases may be stacked two high. No roof racks or trailer hitches are available for extra cargo.

Yes, we can provide an ADA-accessible bus with a wheelchair lift, wider aisle, and accessible restroom. Just let us know what you need when you request a quote.

Yes, you can wrap your charter bus with a custom design, logo, or advertisement. Full wraps, partial wraps, and window decals are allowed. The wrap material must be high-quality vinyl (3M or Avery) and professionally installed. You are responsible for all costs: design, installation, and removal. The wrap must not cover lights, mirrors, or safety markings. It must be applied and removed within your rental period. No offensive, political, or prohibited content. Wraps must be booked in advance to allow scheduling. Contact us to coordinate installation and get exact dimensions.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model (such as MCI J4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, or Setra S417) or color (white, black, silver, or custom). We will do our best to accommodate your request based on availability. However, we cannot guarantee a specific model or color unless it is booked well in advance. If your preferred model or color is not available, we will provide the closest alternative. Additional charges may apply for custom colors or premium models. Please specify your preference when requesting a quote.
