Madison Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a large, privately rented motorcoach designed to transport groups of people to a specific destination on a schedule set by the customer. Unlike public transportation or pre-scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates entirely on-demand, following custom routes and itineraries tailored to the needs of the group. These vehicles typically seat anywhere from 36 to 56 passengers and are equipped with amenities that make long-distance or multi-hour travel comfortable and efficient for riders.

Charter Bus Company Madison offers a full fleet of modern, professionally operated buses available for rental anywhere in Madison, Limestone County, and the greater Huntsville-Decatur region. Our vehicles range from 15, 18, 20, 25, 28, 32, 35, 40, 44, 47, 50, 55, and 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches to 18, 20, 22, 24, 28, 30, 32, 35, 36, 38, and 40-passenger minibuses, plus several 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14-passenger sprinter-style vans. We carry all the most reliable and comfortable models in the industry, including Van Hool CX45 and TX45, Prevost H3-45 and X3-45, MCI J4500 and D4505, Setra S417, Temsa TS35E and TS30, Grech Motors GM40 and GM36, Turtle Top VT3, and Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans. Most vehicles are available in multiple exterior colors (white, black, silver, gray, blue, red) and can be custom-wrapped or branded for your group upon request. If you need something even larger or smaller, just ask—we can usually find exactly what you’re looking for.

Most full-size (40- to 56-passenger) coaches include reclining cloth or leatherette seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, up to five flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, PA system with wireless mic, Bluetooth audio, 110V AC outlets at every row, multiple USB-A/C ports, and a spacious restroom mid-cabin. Many of our newer Van Hool, Prevost, and MCI models feature optional leather upholstery, forward-facing ceiling-mounted 22″” or 28″” LCD screens, integrated Wi-Fi (4G/5G cellular), and upgraded sound systems compatible with HDMI, AUX, and Bluetooth input from laptops or mobile devices. Larger coaches can be configured with up to five video monitors, while smaller 30- to 40-seat minibuses (Grech GM40, Turtle Top VT3, Temsa TS30) offer similar amenities minus the restroom and underfloor luggage. All vehicles come standard with powerful air conditioning, comfortable reclining seats, and either overhead parcel racks or full underfloor luggage bays. For groups requiring additional power, we can provide coaches with dual 110V outlets per row and multiple USB-C ports throughout the cabin. If you need something specific—like a coach with all-leather seating, extra video monitors, or advanced AV capabilities—just ask when you request your quote. We can accommodate most special requests, including custom exterior wraps, window branding, and even beverage coolers or snack stations for longer trips.

Yes, all our Madison charter buses and minibuses come with ample luggage space. Full-size (40- to 56-passenger) motorcoaches are equipped with both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large underfloor luggage bays accessible from outside the vehicle. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase or duffel bag to be stored in the undercarriage bays and one smaller carry-on item (such as a backpack, laptop bag, or tote) to be placed in the overhead compartment above their seat. For example, a 56-passenger coach can comfortably accommodate 56 large pieces of luggage below plus 56 carry-on items inside. Smaller minibuses (20 to 35 seats) offer generous overhead storage and may include a rear cargo area for additional bags, though they typically do not have underfloor bays. If your group has extra-large items—such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or trade show materials—please mention this when booking so we can recommend a vehicle with sufficient storage capacity. We’ve handled everything from coolers and golf clubs to band gear and presentation cases, and we’ll make sure there’s room for all your belongings.

Many of our most popular vehicles—including 20- to 56-passenger coaches from Van Hool, MCI, Prevost, and Grech—are available in fully ADA-compliant configurations. These buses feature a wide entry door, integrated wheelchair lift (typically mid-vehicle), flat non-slip flooring, and removable seating to accommodate one to four mobility devices (wheelchairs or scooters) secured with four-point tie-downs. The aisle is at least 32 inches wide, and the onboard restroom (if equipped) meets ADA clearance requirements. Additional amenities include priority seating near the front, grab bars, and accessible PA/video systems.

Charter bus pricing in Madison is influenced by several key factors: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the distance and duration of the trip (local vs. long-distance), the time of year (peak seasons like spring and fall are more expensive), and the specific itinerary (number of stops, tolls, and parking fees). Additional costs may include driver accommodations for overnight trips, fuel surcharges, and special amenities such as Wi-Fi or AV equipment. Large events like Rocket City Trash Pandas games, local festivals, and university events can also impact availability and rates.

It’s best to book your Madison charter bus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak travel seasons like spring (April–May) or fall (September–October). These months are busy due to school field trips, sports tournaments, and wedding events across North Alabama. Large events at Toyota Field, the Orion Amphitheater, or nearby university campuses can also impact availability. For summer and winter trips, a two- to three-month lead time is usually sufficient. Last-minute bookings are possible but may have limited vehicle selection and higher rates.

Yes, we require a deposit to secure your reservation, with the remaining balance due prior to departure. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total trip cost and is payable at the time of booking. Final payment is due 14 to 30 days before the trip, depending on the size and duration of the charter. We accept all major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract and invoice.

Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any requested onboard amenities (Wi-Fi, power outlets, AV equipment). Not included are tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations for overnight trips. For example, parking passes at Toyota Field or downtown Huntsville garages may incur additional charges of $10 to $40 per vehicle. Any ancillary expenses will be billed separately or paid directly by the group. Gratuity for the driver is not included but is customary and appreciated.
