Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Livonia

A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together for private events, trips, or functions. These vehicles typically seat anywhere from 40 to 56 passengers and are equipped with a range of amenities for comfort during short or long-distance travel. Charter buses are commonly used for school field trips, corporate outings, sports team transportation, wedding shuttles, and multi-day tours because they offer one of the most efficient ways to move large groups.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance for large events or peak seasons. Spring and fall are especially busy due to school trips, graduations, and sports schedules. Summer weekends also fill up quickly with weddings and festivals. If you’re planning a trip during these times or need multiple vehicles, booking early ensures availability and the best rates. For smaller groups or off-peak travel, 4 to 8 weeks’ notice is usually sufficient. We can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests, but options may be limited.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The remaining balance is typically due 30 days before the date of service. For bookings made within 30 days of the trip, full payment is required upfront. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract, and our team is available to answer any questions about billing or invoicing.

Your quote includes the cost of the bus, driver, mileage, and standard amenities. It does not include tolls, parking fees, driver gratuity, or lodging for the driver if an overnight stay is required.

If your itinerary requires crossing bridges or using toll roads, those charges will be added to the final invoice. Any additional services or special requests may also affect the total price.
