A charter bus is a large, professionally operated motor vehicle rented by a group for private transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike a public bus or fixed-route “shuttle,” a charter bus goes exactly where and when the customer wants—whether that’s a one-way trip, round-trip, or multi-day itinerary with multiple stops. People often use “charter bus,” “coach bus,” and “motorcoach” interchangeably. These vehicles are built for comfort on longer trips, with forward-facing seats, strong climate control, and smooth highway ride.

Most modern charter buses are 40–45 feet long, about 12 feet tall, and 8.5 feet wide—roughly the size of a city transit bus but sleeker and more aerodynamic. They have a flat front (“pusher” engine in back), smooth fiberglass or aluminum sides, large tinted windows, and luggage bays running the length of the lower body. Common brands include Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, and Setra. Buses are usually painted white, black, silver, or gray, but custom colors and full-vehicle wraps are available. The roof may have low-profile HVAC units, antennae, or even satellite domes.

Full-size charter buses typically seat 50 to 56 passengers, depending on the exact model and interior configuration. For example, a 45-foot Prevost or Van Hool can hold up to 56 people with standard reclining seats. Smaller “mini-coaches” might have 28, 32, or 40 seats, while larger double-decker or custom coaches could go slightly above 56. The seating capacity is usually based on two people per row across a central aisle, with four or five seats per row. Some buses can be configured with fewer seats to allow for tables or extra legroom, which would reduce the total capacity.

Anyone who needs to move a large group of people can rent a charter bus! In Bossier City, common customers include schools (for field trips or athletic events), corporations (for employee shuttles or conferences), wedding parties, sports teams, church groups, military units, and fans traveling to concerts or casino resorts. We also serve hospitals, construction crews, senior citizen outings, and families planning reunions or destination celebrations. Whether you’re organizing a single-day event or a multi-day excursion, a charter bus offers the flexibility and convenience that groups need.

We offer every type of bus available in Bossier City: full-size 56-passenger charter buses (from Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, Setra), minibuses seating 18–35 (Grech, Turtle Top, Champion), party buses for 15–40, and sprinter vans for 10–15. Most full-size coaches seat 50–56; mid-size “mini-coaches” do 28, 32, or 40; party/limo buses run 15–35; sprinters do 10–14. Exact capacity depends on model and options—some can do 60+ with tighter seating, or fewer with tables/ADA space. We can send photos/specs of any bus, and special-request a model if needed.

A “charter bus” or “coach bus” is a standard motorcoach built for comfortable group travel—forward-facing seats, A/C, restrooms, luggage bays, optional Wi-Fi/TVs. A “party bus” is a bus or large van converted with perimeter seating, dance floor, colored lights, sound system—built for socializing, short trips, no luggage, seats 15–40. An “entertainer bus” or “sleeper coach” is a motorcoach custom-built for bands/performers—bunks for 8–12, lounge, galley, shower, A/V, little/no seating. We do all three—charter/coach, party bus, entertainer/sleeper.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining cloth or leatherette seats, strong A/C, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a restroom. Standard amenities: reclining seats, strong A/C, underfloor luggage bays, overhead racks, restroom, 110V outlets, Wi-Fi, flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray, PA/mic. Many have 110V outlets at every row, Wi-Fi, flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray, and a PA/mic. Newer coaches add USB ports, leatherette upholstery, individual reading lights, and larger video screens. Premium models offer leather seats, USB at every seat, individual reading lights, Bluetooth sound, and optional Wi-Fi. Extras: forward-facing seats, PA/mic, Bluetooth audio. Upgrades: leather seats, USB power, fast Wi-Fi, HDMI video, Bluetooth audio, lounge seating, tables, galley area. Minibuses get similar features minus restroom/luggage. Party/entertainer buses: custom lighting, sound, lounge/bunks.

Yes—most of our newer buses offer Wi-Fi, but it’s always best to request it when booking. The Wi-Fi connects through a cellular data hotspot (4G/5G), which works well along I-20, I-49, and in town, but can slow down or drop in rural areas. It’s fine for email, web browsing, and social media, but streaming video or large downloads may be limited or blocked to keep the network usable for everyone. If reliable Wi-Fi is important for your trip—say, for a corporate group heading to Shreveport Regional Airport or students doing schoolwork en route to Baton Rouge—we’ll make sure your bus has it and explain any coverage limitations.

A full-size charter bus has enough luggage space for about one large suitcase and one carry-on bag per passenger. Most of the storage is in the underfloor bays (“belly boxes”) that run the length of the bus below the main cabin—perfect for roller bags, duffels, or equipment cases. There are also overhead racks inside the cabin for smaller bags, backpacks, or coats. For a typical 50–56 passenger coach, you can fit 50+ large suitcases below plus carry-ons above. If you’re traveling with a sports team bringing coolers, a band with instrument cases, or a corporate group with display materials, let us know—we can advise on space or provide a trailer if needed.

Yes, you can request specific models (e.g., Prevost, Van Hool, MCI) or colors (white, black, silver). We’ll do our best to accommodate, though exact availability may vary.

Yes—if your trip runs overnight or spans multiple days, you’ll need to provide a hotel room for the driver. The hotel should be safe, clean, and no more than 15 minutes from where the bus will be parked overnight. Most groups book a room at the same hotel where they’re staying—just note that the driver needs their own room. If you’re booking multiple rooms for a sports team or wedding party, simply add one for the driver. For single-day trips that don’t require an overnight stay, no accommodation is needed. If you have questions about where to house the driver, ask our team—we’re happy to help.

Review contract and payment terms. Call with questions—avoid surprises.
