Larger vehicles like a 56-passenger motorcoach cost more than smaller minibuses, and multi-day or out-of-town trips are billed by the mile or day.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Royal Oak:

• Vehicle type and size: Larger buses (like 56-passenger motorcoaches) cost more than smaller minibuses. Premium or specialty vehicles also carry higher rates.
• Trip duration and distance: Local trips are usually billed hourly, while longer or multi-day trips are charged by the mile or day. More hours and miles increase the total cost.
• Time of year: Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school events, sports, and weddings, leading to higher rates. Summer and winter are less expensive.
• Pickup location: If the bus must travel empty (“deadhead”) from another city, you’ll pay for that additional mileage.
• Itinerary complexity: Multiple stops, tight schedules, or routes through congested areas (like downtown Detroit) may increase the price.
• Tolls, parking, and fees: Bridge tolls, venue parking, and other incidental fees are typically extra.
• Fuel prices: Fluctuations in fuel costs can affect your final price.
• Driver lodging and meals: For overnight trips, you’re responsible for the driver’s hotel and per diem.

Optional upgrades include leather upholstery, individual reading lights, tray tables, and custom branding inside or outside the bus.

Yes, most full-size (and some mid-size) charter buses have a restroom located at the rear of the coach. It’s typically a half-bath with a toilet and hand sanitizer but no sink or running water. The restroom is designed for emergency use between stops, not for extended use. Minibuses generally do not have a restroom onboard, but your driver can make restroom stops as needed.

Yes, most newer charter buses have 110V power outlets and/or USB charging ports at every seat. Older models may have outlets only in the front and rear of the coach. If access to power is important for your group, please mention this when booking so we can assign a bus with outlets at every row. Many of our most popular models—including MCI, Prevost, and Van Hool coaches—come standard with both AC and USB outlets throughout the cabin.

Yes, most of our charter buses and minibuses can be equipped with onboard Wi-Fi. This amenity is standard on many newer vehicles and optional on others. The connection is suitable for email, web browsing, and social media, but streaming video or large downloads may be restricted to ensure stable service for all passengers. If your group requires Wi-Fi, please request it when booking so we can assign a properly equipped vehicle.

Yes, every charter bus has dedicated luggage space—either in underfloor bays (for full-size coaches) or in the rear cargo area (for minibuses). A 56-passenger coach can hold up to 50–60 large suitcases plus carry-on bags. Minibuses have less capacity but can still accommodate several large bags. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin are available for backpacks, coats, and smaller items. If you’re traveling with bulky equipment (like band instruments or sports gear), let us know so we can assign a vehicle with sufficient storage.

Full-size charter buses typically seat 50–56 passengers. Minibuses are available in 18-, 20-, 25-, and 32-passenger configurations. We also offer mid-size coaches that seat 35–40 people.

It’s best to book your charter bus at least 3–6 months in advance, especially if your trip is during the busy spring or fall seasons. April through June and September through November are peak months due to school events, sports, and weddings. Summer and winter trips can often be accommodated on shorter notice, but availability is always better with advance planning. Last-minute bookings are possible, but your choice of vehicles may be limited. As soon as you have your date and headcount, contact us for a quote.

Yes, you can rent a charter bus for multi-day and overnight trips. The driver must comply with federal hours-of-service regulations, which limit driving time and require rest breaks. For overnight trips, you’ll need to provide a hotel room for the driver. Multi-day rentals are common for out-of-town sports events, conferences, and tours. The bus stays with your group for the duration of the trip.
