What is a Charter Bus?

A charter bus is a private bus rental that is rented to transport groups of passengers. It is larger than a minibus and offers additional seating, luggage space, and reclining seats. There are various uses for charter buses, and the benefits of hiring a charter bus include safety, cost savings, versatility and more!

Is Alcohol Allowed on the Charter Bus?

We do allow alcohol on our charter bus rentals, but there are conditions outlined in your rental contract that will need to be followed. If you’d like to learn more, ask our customer service team when booking your charter bus rental.

How Much Do You Tip a Charter Bus Driver?

We always recommend driver gratuities, and you can include them directly in your quoted cost so everything is paid at one time. The amount to tip the driver typically depends on the length and cost of the rental.

A general starting reference point is between 10% and 20% of your overall charter bus rental’s total cost.
