Charter bus pricing is based on several factors: the type and size of the vehicle (minibus, charter bus, party bus), the length of the trip (hours or days), total mileage, number of stops, and any additional services requested. Seasonal demand, especially during university events or football games, can also affect rates. Additional fees may include driver lodging, tolls, parking, and fuel surcharges for longer trips.

Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your charter bus reservation. This deposit is typically due within a few days of signing the contract and can be paid by credit card, check, or ACH transfer. The remaining balance must be paid in full before the date of your trip. Contact our team for specific deposit amounts and payment options.

The final payment for your charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. Specific deadlines will be outlined in your contract, but full payment is generally required at least 30 days prior to departure. If you book less than 30 days in advance, full payment may be due immediately upon signing the contract.

Stay connected with optional onboard Wi-Fi and 110V/USB power outlets at every seat. Many of our larger buses feature flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth-enabled sound systems, and a public address (PA) microphone for announcements.

Additional amenities can include tray tables, cup holders, LED accent lighting, hardwood-style flooring, and custom branding or signage upon request.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least 6 to 9 months in advance, especially if your trip coincides with busy travel periods like university events, graduations, or football games. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips and sporting events, so vehicles can sell out quickly. Last-minute bookings are possible but availability may be limited and rates may be higher.

Ann Arbor has strict regulations regarding where charter buses can park and load/unload passengers. Buses are prohibited from stopping in bike lanes, travel lanes, and most curbside spaces downtown. However, there are designated curbside loading zones on certain blocks of Huron Street, Washington Street, and Fourth Avenue that allow short-term stops for drop-off and pick-up. Longer-term parking is available at the surface lot on Catherine Street between Division and Fifth, which offers affordable hourly and daily rates for oversized vehicles. If you need to stage your bus outside the downtown area, the city recommends using the Park & Ride lot on Green Road just north of Plymouth Road, which is easily accessible from US-23 and M-14. Always check posted signage and contact the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority for the latest information on bus-friendly parking locations.

Ann Arbor’s public transit options include TheRide (AATA) fixed-route buses, University of Michigan campus shuttles, Amtrak Wolverine service, and regional airport shuttles to DTW.

A private charter bus offers door-to-door service on your own schedule, keeping everyone together and eliminating transfers. It’s ideal for groups traveling to events, meetings, or destinations not easily served by public transit, providing a more comfortable and efficient experience with amenities like Wi-Fi, power outlets, and reclining seats.
