Your quote includes the base rental fee for the bus and driver, plus any applicable tolls, parking fees, and standard amenities. It does not include gratuity for the driver (customary industry tip is 10–20%), or lodging expenses if an overnight stay is required. You’ll receive a complete breakdown of all charges before you book, so there are no hidden fees or surprises.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least 4–6 weeks in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rates. During busy periods—such as spring break, summer wedding season, or major events like the Detroit Grand Prix, Movement Electronic Music Festival, or college move-in weekends—it’s wise to reserve your vehicle even earlier, as buses can sell out quickly and prices may increase closer to the travel date.

We offer 18-, 20-, and 25-passenger minibuses, plus 56-passenger full-size charter buses—so it’s easy to find exactly the right vehicle for your group size. Smaller models are great for airport transfers to DTW, corporate shuttles to downtown Detroit, or wedding parties heading to venues like Crystal Gardens and Grecian Center, while the larger 56-passenger coach is ideal for school trips to The Henry Ford, band tours, or moving big groups of fans to Tigers, Lions, Red Wings, and Pistons games. Let us know how many people you’re bringing, and we’ll make sure everyone gets a seat!

Standard amenities on our charter buses include cushioned reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms (on full-size models), TV monitors with DVD players, WiFi, power outlets, and ample luggage storage. Many vehicles also feature upgraded interiors with leatherette upholstery, wood-look flooring, LED accent lighting, and PA systems for group announcements. If you have specific amenity requests—such as WiFi for a corporate shuttle to downtown Detroit or extra luggage space for a school trip to The Henry Ford—just let us know, and we’ll match you with a bus that fits your needs.

Yes! We can customize any itinerary to fit your schedule, whether you need a simple one-way transfer to Detroit Metropolitan Airport, a round-trip shuttle for a Tigers game at Comerica Park, or a multi-day package for a church retreat up north to Traverse City or Mackinac Island. Just tell us where you’re going and when you need to be there, and we’ll build a package that gets you exactly what you need at a price you’ll love.

Absolutely—we handle long-distance and out-of-state trips all the time!

Perfect for band tours, college visits, or family reunions, our long-distance packages keep everyone together and on schedule without the hassle of flying or driving separately.

If your trip requires an overnight stay—such as a multi-day school trip to Washington D.C. or a church retreat to a northern Michigan campground—you will need to provide hotel accommodations for your driver.

For longer journeys that exceed daily hour limits, we’ll coordinate driver swaps to maintain safety without delaying your itinerary.
