What Is Charter Bus Transportation?
Charter bus transportation is a private bus rental service where an entire vehicle is reserved exclusively for your group. Unlike public transit or shared shuttles, a chartered bus operates on your schedule, follows your custom itinerary, and serves only your passengers. This private bus transportation model gives organizations complete control over departure times, stops, and routes—making it the preferred choice for corporate events, group tours, sports transportation services, and special occasions requiring coordinated group travel.
Charter bus companies like Larry’s provide the vehicle, a professional driver, and comprehensive trip management. You simply tell us where your group needs to go, how many passengers you’re transporting, and when—we handle every logistical detail from there.

How many passengers can a charter bus hold?
Charter bus capacity ranges from 15 passengers in our passenger vans to 56 passengers in our full-size motor coaches. Mini buses accommodate 16-25 passengers, while mid-size coaches seat 30-40. Our team will recommend the right vehicle based on your group size, luggage requirements, and comfort preferences. For groups requiring multiple vehicles, we coordinate fleet logistics to ensure everyone travels together.
Do charter buses have bathrooms?
Yes, our full-size motor coaches include onboard restroom facilities—essential for longer trips and group tours.

When booking, let our team know your trip duration so we can recommend the appropriate charter bus with bathroom facilities if needed.
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in South Florida?
Charter bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, trip duration, and distance. A 15 passenger van rental for a half-day local trip costs less than a full-size motor coach for an all-day excursion. Generally, hourly rates apply for local transportation, while day rates or mileage-based pricing applies for longer distances. Contact us for a personalized charter bus quote—we provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
How far in advance should I book a charter bus?
We recommend booking 2-4 weeks ahead for standard charter bus reservations. During peak seasons—including convention periods, spring break, major sporting events, and holiday weekends—book 4-8 weeks in advance to ensure vehicle availability. Last-minute requests may be accommodated based on fleet availability, but advance planning guarantees the specific vehicle and timing your group needs.
