Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Southfield, Michigan

A charter bus is a large motorcoach that’s rented by a group to provide private, pre-arranged transportation. These buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and are equipped with comfortable, forward-facing seats, strong climate control, and ample luggage storage both overhead and under the cabin floor. Charter buses are commonly used for school trips, corporate events, sports team travel, weddings, and long-distance journeys because they offer a reliable, convenient way to move large groups together on a custom schedule.

Charter Bus Company Southfield has one of the largest fleets in Southfield and across Oakland County, offering vehicles for any group size or event type. Options include 15-, 20-, 25-, and 28-passenger minibuses; full-size 47-, 50-, 54-, and 56-passenger charter buses from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, and Setra; party buses that hold 10 to 40+ people; entertainer coaches (sprinter vans) built for touring artists; and ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts. We also have school buses and shuttle vans available. If you need multiple buses or something specific, we can accommodate it!

Most modern charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, strong air conditioning and heating, overhead parcel racks, and large undercarriage luggage bays. Many also feature flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA system, power outlets or USB ports at every row, and free WiFi. Restrooms are standard on full-size coaches. Minibuses offer similar seating comfort but may have fewer entertainment options and less storage space. If you require specific amenities—like tables, extra screens, or upgraded AV equipment—just ask when booking.

Yes, every charter bus has dedicated luggage space. Full-size motorcoaches have large, weatherproof bays beneath the passenger deck that can hold suitcases, equipment cases, or even musical instruments. There are also overhead compartments inside the cabin for smaller bags, backpacks, or jackets. As a rule of thumb, each person can bring one full-size suitcase for the undercarriage and one carry-on item for the overhead bin. If your group has special storage needs—like skis, bicycles, or trade show materials—let us know so we can dispatch a suitable vehicle.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental: the type and size of the vehicle, total mileage or duration of the trip, number of days required, and current demand. Rates may be higher during peak seasons—such as spring for school trips or summer for weddings—and when major events like Lions, Pistons, Tigers, or Red Wings games are happening downtown. Additional amenities, tolls, parking fees, and out-of-town trips can also affect the final price.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months before your event, especially if it falls during busy periods like spring graduation season or summer wedding months.

However, we understand that plans can change quickly, and we’re often able to accommodate last-minute bookings thanks to our large fleet and strong industry connections.
