Mobile Charter Bus Rentals

Every charter bus comes standard with cushioned seats, overhead parcel racks, and large windows with curtains. Most vehicles feature a center aisle running the length of the cabin, with rows of forward-facing seats on either side. You’ll find personal reading lights and air-conditioning vents above each seat, as well as speakers for the onboard entertainment system. Some models offer additional amenities like footrests, tray tables, or video monitors mounted at the front and middle of the cabin.

Charter buses can seat anywhere from 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the model and configuration. The most common size is the 56-passenger motorcoach, which features 14 rows of four seats each (two on either side of the aisle). Smaller buses may have fewer rows or wider seats, while larger ones maximize capacity by minimizing aisle width and seat pitch. If you need exact numbers for a specific vehicle, just ask your reservation specialist when you call for a quote.

Standard amenities on a charter bus include cushioned seats, armrests, reclining backs, climate control, overhead parcel racks, and large tinted windows with curtains. Many buses also feature a PA system, video monitors, DVD player, and stereo with CD/MP3 input. Additional options may include WiFi, power outlets, USB ports, tray tables, footrests, and lavatory. Luggage compartments are located under the floor and at the rear of the cabin.

Yes, many modern charter buses come equipped with power outlets and USB ports at each row or between pairs of seats. These allow passengers to charge phones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices during the trip. Older models may not have individual outlets but might offer a few shared sockets near the front or rear of the cabin. If access to electricity is important for your group—especially for student trips or corporate events—please specify this requirement when booking so we can provide a bus that meets your needs.

Yes, most full-size charter buses are equipped with a bathroom located at the rear of the cabin. The restroom typically includes a toilet, sink, mirror, and hand sanitizer dispenser. While functional, these bathrooms are compact and best suited for emergency use rather than regular visits. We recommend planning occasional rest stops for longer journeys to give passengers a chance to stretch their legs and use larger facilities.

Yes, full-size charter buses are designed with ample storage space for both carry-on and checked baggage. Each bus features large undercarriage bays that can accommodate suitcases, equipment cases, or even musical instruments. Inside the cabin, you’ll find overhead racks suitable for backpacks, purses, and smaller items. For trips requiring extra storage—such as sports teams traveling with gear or bands with instruments—please let us know in advance so we can assign a bus with maximum capacity.

The cost of renting a charter bus in Mobile varies based on factors such as the size of the bus, duration of the rental, distance traveled, and time of year. Prices are typically quoted per hour, per day, or per mile. To get an accurate estimate, it’s best to contact our team with details about your itinerary, including pickup and drop-off locations, number of passengers, and any special requests. We offer competitive rates and can provide a personalized quote within minutes.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least six to nine months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates. This is especially important for trips during peak travel times, such as spring break, summer vacation, and major events like Mardi Gras or college football games. Last-minute bookings are possible, but options may be limited. Reserving early gives you more flexibility in choosing the right vehicle and allows us to accommodate any special requests your group may have.

Booking a charter bus with us is quick and easy. Simply call our office or fill out the online quote form with your trip details, including the date, time, destination, and number of passengers.

No, the quote covers the base rental fee for the bus and driver, but does not include additional expenses such as tolls, parking, or permits. These costs vary depending on the route and destination. For example, parking at popular venues like the Mobile Convention Center, USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park, or Hancock Whitney Stadium may require separate payment. Toll roads such as the Foley Beach Express and bridges along I-10/I-65 corridors will incur extra charges. It’s the client’s responsibility to cover these fees either in advance or on the day of the trip. Our team can help estimate potential costs based on your itinerary.

Mobile’s public transit system is limited compared to larger cities, making it difficult for large groups to travel efficiently. The Wave Transit System operates a handful of fixed bus routes serving downtown, Midtown, and select suburban areas, but schedules are infrequent and coverage is sparse—especially on weekends or late at night. There’s no local commuter rail or regional express service connecting Mobile to surrounding communities like Daphne, Fairhope, or Theodore. While rideshare apps such as Uber and Lyft operate in the city, they aren’t practical for moving dozens of people at once or coordinating multiple pick-up points. In contrast, a private charter bus offers door-to-door service tailored to your exact itinerary, whether you’re attending a conference at the Mobile Convention Center, catching a show at the Saenger Theatre, or organizing a beach trip to Gulf Shores. You set the schedule, route, and pace—without having to worry about missed connections or split parties. For schools, companies, churches, and other organizations needing reliable transportation across Mobile County and beyond, a charter bus is the most flexible and efficient option available.
