Groups should usually book their Florida charter bus rental at least 3 months in advance. Cities like Miami and Orlando tend to have high bus demands in peak travel seasons like summer and spring. If your trip falls during these busy times, it's highly recommended you secure your bus as far in advance as possible. We recommend at least 6 months in advance for peak season travel plans.
Florida Charter Bus Company’s network consists of multiple transportation partners with a variety of different minibus and charter bus models. Minibus models are usually offered for small and medium-sized groups with up to 25 passengers. Larger charter bus rentals are available for big events and are highly recommended for comfortably long-distance travel. The availability of certain models may vary depending on your city and when you’re traveling.
We don’t generally offer party bus rentals. Depending on the city, party bus rentals may be offered with limited availability.
ADA-accessible charter bus rentals are available in our network throughout Florida. When you call to book your Florida charter bus rental, notify your reservation representative about what accessible features your group will need. ADA-accessible buses can be equipped with wheelchair lifts, additional handrailing, and other features to make sure all passengers are traveling comfortably.
Drinking may be permitted on your charter bus with prior approval. Some of our transportation partners prohibit drinking onboard. Others allow drinking on board with notice from your rental expert. Smoking cigarettes and other substances are not permitted on any bus.
Passengers are strictly prohibited from driving their bus, even if they have a valid CDL license. The only person who may operate your bus is the professional driver assigned to your trip.
Groups traveling multiple days or overnight will need to provide comfortable lodging accommodation for their driver. Your driver will need to rest at least 8 hours for every 10 hours of driving.
Tipping is not required but it’s highly recommended. Charter bus drivers often work long hours and work hard to keep everyone safe while traveling. Providing them with a tip that is equal to 5-15% of your total trip cost is recommended.
Yes, the cost of parking your bus at your destination will be up to you. Parking and toll costs will not be included in your rental quote, as we cannot predetermine these costs for most destinations.
