Florence Charter Bus Rentals from Charter Bus Company Florence

A charter bus is a private, pre-arranged vehicle rental that transports groups of people to and from specific destinations on a schedule you set. Unlike public transportation or pre-scheduled tours, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the client, making it ideal for events like corporate outings, school trips, weddings, sports team travel, or multi-day excursions. Modern charter buses offer comfortable seating for 20 to 56 passengers and can include amenities such as Wi-Fi, power outlets, reclining seats, and onboard restrooms.

Charter Bus Company Florence offers a full range of buses in Florence, AL, from 15- to 35-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches and several party bus and specialty vehicles. Our fleet includes vehicles from trusted brands like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, and Champion—so you can always get exactly the right size and style of bus for your group. We also offer multiple buses for large groups, custom-wrapped coaches, and ADA-accessible options with any size vehicle.

Most modern buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, luggage bays, and a PA system. Larger coaches (40+ seats) typically feature flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, Wi-Fi, 110V or USB power outlets at each seat, and a restroom. Optional upgrades include leather upholstery, tray tables, forward-facing video screens, and custom branding. Minibuses (20–35 seats) offer similar amenities but may lack restrooms or full AV systems. All vehicles are cleaned and sanitized before each trip.

Yes, all our Florence charter buses have ample luggage space. Full-size motorcoaches (40–56 passengers) feature large undercarriage baggage bays that can hold one large suitcase per person, plus carry-on items. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin accommodate smaller bags, backpacks, or personal items. Minibuses (20–35 passengers) offer rear luggage compartments and overhead shelves for carry-ons. For trips requiring extra storage—such as sports teams with equipment, band groups with instruments, or event planners with display materials—we can provide trailers or additional baggage space upon request. Each passenger can typically bring one large bag for the luggage bay and one carry-on for the overhead compartment. Please inform your reservation specialist of any oversized or special luggage needs when booking.

Yes, we offer ADA-accessible buses in Florence and throughout Lauderdale County. Many of our larger motorcoaches and several minibus models can be equipped with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and designated securement areas for passengers with mobility devices. These buses also feature low-entry steps, handrails, and accessible restrooms when available. If you require an ADA-compliant vehicle, please specify this when requesting your quote so we can ensure the bus meets all accessibility needs for your trip.

Several factors affect the cost of renting a charter bus in Florence: the type and size of the vehicle (minibuses are less expensive than full-size motorcoaches), the duration and distance of the trip (local rentals may be billed hourly, while longer trips are charged by the day or mile), and the time of year. Peak seasons—such as spring and fall for school trips, or summer for weddings and festivals like the W.C. Handy Music Festival—can drive up prices due to higher demand. Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees at venues like the Florence Sportsplex or UNA’s Braly Stadium, and lodging for the driver on overnight trips. Special requests for luxury amenities, custom wraps, or last-minute bookings can also impact the final price.

It’s best to book your Florence charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates.

Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer fewer vehicle options.
