Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Detroit

A charter bus is a private, large-capacity motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. It is commonly used for group travel such as corporate events, school trips, sports team transportation, weddings, or multi-day tours. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and offer amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and luggage storage.

Charter Bus Company Detroit offers a full fleet of buses in Detroit, including 15-, 20-, 28-, 35-, 40-, 47-, 52-, 55-, and 56-passenger vehicles from top European and American manufacturers. Available models include the Van Hool CX35 and CX45, Prevost H3-45 and X3-45, MCI J4500 and D4505, Setra S417, Temsa HD35/HD37/HD45, and several Grech Motors minicoach options.

Many vehicles are available in multiple exterior colors and with custom interiors.

Most Detroit charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and flat-screen video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players. Additional amenities often include onboard Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each seat, a PA system with wireless microphone, and a full-size restroom with hand sanitizer. Some coaches feature leatherette upholstery, forward-facing seating, and optional tray tables. Premium models may offer HDMI inputs for gaming consoles, Bluetooth audio, and upgraded sound systems.

Yes, all full-size charter buses and most minibuses have dedicated luggage space. Larger coaches (40–56 passengers) feature undercarriage luggage bays that can hold one large suitcase per passenger, plus carry-on items. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin are available for smaller bags, backpacks, or personal items. The general guideline is one full-size bag below and one carry-on above per person. If your group has extra baggage—such as sports equipment, band gear, or presentation materials—please mention this when booking so we can recommend a vehicle with adequate storage.

Several factors affect the price of a charter bus rental in Detroit: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the length and duration of the trip (mileage and number of days), the time of year (peak seasons like spring and fall are more expensive), and any additional amenities requested (Wi-Fi, PA system, etc.). Local events such as Detroit Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, or Pistons games, concerts at Little Caesars Arena, or major conventions can also impact pricing due to increased demand and traffic congestion.

It’s best to book your Detroit charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, sports events, and weddings, so buses can sell out quickly. If you’re traveling during a busy time or need multiple vehicles, book at least 6 months ahead. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and have limited vehicle options.

Yes, we require a deposit to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost and is due at the time of booking. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your trip date. If you book less than 30 days in advance, full payment is required upfront. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract.

Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any standard amenities (Wi-Fi, power outlets, etc.). Not included are tolls, parking fees, driver accommodations (hotel and meals for overnight trips), and optional gratuity. For example, parking passes at Ford Field, Comerica Park, and Little Caesars Arena can range from $40 to $100+ for oversized vehicles. Your reservation specialist can help estimate these additional costs based on your itinerary.
