A charter bus (also called a motorcoach or coach bus) is a large vehicle designed to transport groups of people over long distances. Charter buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and come equipped with amenities like cushioned seats, air conditioning, overhead storage bins, undercarriage luggage bays, restrooms, TVs with DVD players, WiFi, and power outlets. These buses are ideal for transporting large groups to destinations like Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, or even out-of-state trips to places like Atlanta or New Orleans. Charter buses are commonly used for school trips, sports teams, corporate events, weddings, and tours.

A minibus is a smaller, more compact version of a charter bus that typically seats between 15 and 35 passengers. These vehicles are perfect for shuttling smaller groups around town, such as taking a youth group to Fun Spot America or providing transportation for a bridal party to a wedding at Celebration Golf Club. While minibuses may not have as many amenities as larger charter buses, they are still comfortable and often include features like air conditioning, reclining seats, and a sound system. Minibuses are great for short-distance travel, airport transfers, and event shuttles.

Most charter buses in our fleet can seat anywhere from 40 to 56 passengers, making them ideal for large groups traveling together. For example, if you’re organizing a school trip to the Kennedy Space Center or a corporate outing to a conference at the Orange County Convention Center, a 56-passenger charter bus would be a great choice. These buses offer plenty of space for everyone to sit comfortably and store their belongings either in overhead compartments or under the bus. If you have a specific seating requirement, let us know and we’ll get you a bus that fits your needs.

Minibuses generally have seating capacities ranging from 15 to 35 passengers, depending on the model. This makes them a popular choice for mid-sized groups who need something larger than a van but smaller than a full-size charter bus. For instance, a 25-passenger minibus is perfect for shuttling guests between hotels and venues during a wedding weekend or transporting a local sports team to an away game. Despite their smaller size, minibuses still provide a comfortable ride and can navigate through city streets and tight parking lots with ease.

Kissimmee Minibus Company offers a wide variety of bus types to suit any group size or trip type. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses (50-56 seats), minibuses (18-35 seats), party buses (10-40 seats), sprinter vans (10-15 seats), and specialty vehicles like entertainer coaches and executive coaches. Full-size charter buses are ideal for large groups traveling long distances and come equipped with premium amenities. Minibuses are perfect for smaller groups or short-distance shuttles around downtown Kissimmee or nearby attractions. Party buses feature wraparound seating, LED lighting, and sound systems for celebrations on the road. Sprinter vans offer a compact option for small groups needing airport transfers or corporate travel. No matter your group size or destination, we have a vehicle that fits your needs.

Our Kissimmee bus rentals come equipped with a wide range of amenities to keep passengers comfortable and entertained during the journey. Standard features include cushioned seats, air conditioning, overhead storage racks, and a PA system for announcements. Many of our buses also offer free WiFi, power outlets or USB ports at each seat, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, and an onboard restroom. If you have specific requests—such as extra luggage space for a band trip to Osceola Performing Arts Center or ADA-accessible features for a senior group visiting Old Town—we can customize your rental to meet your needs. Just let us know what you’re looking for when you book.

Yes, many of our buses are equipped with sound systems that allow you to connect your own devices via AUX cable, Bluetooth, or USB. This means you can play your favorite playlists, podcasts, or audio from a phone, tablet, or laptop through the bus speakers. This feature is especially popular for youth groups heading to Gatorland, wedding parties en route to Margaritaville Resort, or sports teams getting pumped up before a game. If having a specific type of audio connection is important to your group, please mention this when booking so we can match you with a bus that meets your needs.

Luggage capacity varies by vehicle type. Full-size charter buses typically have large undercarriage bays that can hold one suitcase per person plus additional carry-on items, making them ideal for airport transfers to MCO or multi-day trips. Minibuses and sprinter vans have limited storage space, usually accommodating small bags in overhead racks or behind the last row of seats. If your group is traveling with extra-large items—such as musical instruments for a performance at Osceola Heritage Park or sports equipment for a tournament at Austin-Tindall Sports Complex—please let us know in advance so we can recommend a vehicle with adequate storage.

Yes, we provide ADA-accessible bus rentals in Kissimmee and throughout Florida. These vehicles are equipped with features such as wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, designated securement areas, and accessible restrooms to accommodate passengers with disabilities. We regularly work with organizations like Give Kids The World Village and local senior centers to ensure everyone can travel comfortably. If you require an ADA-accessible bus, please specify your needs when requesting a quote so we can arrange the appropriate vehicle.

Yes, you can wrap your charter bus with custom graphics, logos, or advertisements for an additional fee. Bus wraps are a great way to promote your brand during a corporate event, show team spirit for a sports tournament, or create a cohesive look for a large group heading to a convention at Gaylord Palms Resort. Wraps must be professionally designed and installed, and we’ll need to coordinate the schedule to allow time for application and removal. If you’re interested in wrapping your bus, let us know when you book so we can provide details and pricing.

We will do our best to accommodate requests for specific bus models or colors, but availability may vary depending on the date, location, and fleet inventory. If your group requires a particular make—such as a Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, or Setra—or prefers a certain color scheme for branding purposes, please mention this when booking. We regularly provide matching vehicles for wedding shuttles, corporate roadshows, and political campaign tours. While we cannot guarantee every request, we will make every effort to meet your specifications or offer a suitable alternative.

The cost of renting a charter bus in Kissimmee depends on several factors, including the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, time of year, and any special amenities requested. For example, a round-trip charter bus from Kissimmee to Tampa for a day-long excursion might cost between $1,200 and $2,000, while a multi-day tour to Miami could be higher. The best way to get an accurate price is to contact us with your trip details so we can provide a personalized quote. Our rates are competitive and include all standard fees, with no hidden charges.

Minibus rentals are generally more affordable than full-size charter buses, making them a budget-friendly option for smaller groups. Prices vary based on the same factors as above—distance, duration, season, and amenities—but you can expect to pay less overall. For instance, a minibus shuttle for a wedding at The Venue at Gentry Pines or a corporate luncheon at Hunter’s Creek Golf Club will cost less than hiring a larger bus. Contact us with your itinerary, and we’ll send you a quote tailored to your needs.

Several variables influence the cost of renting a bus in Kissimmee: the type and size of vehicle (charter bus, minibus, party bus, or sprinter van), total mileage or hours, number of days, time of year (peak seasons like spring break and holidays may be higher), and any optional features such as WiFi, custom wraps, or extra luggage space. Additional expenses like tolls on Florida’s Turnpike, parking fees at theme parks, or driver lodging for overnight trips may also apply. Providing detailed information about your trip will help us give you the most accurate quote.

Our quotes are comprehensive and include the cost of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, standard insurance, and basic amenities such as A/C and reclining seats. Any optional upgrades—like onboard WiFi, DVD monitors, or ADA-accessible features—will be itemized. Taxes, tolls, and parking fees are typically included unless specified otherwise. There are no hidden charges, and we’ll explain exactly what’s covered before you sign anything. If your trip requires additional services, such as multiple pickups around Osceola Corporate Center or extended standby hours during a festival at Lakefront Park, these will be clearly listed in the quote.

We recommend booking your bus rental as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure the best selection and pricing. This is especially important during busy periods like spring break, summer vacation, and major events at Osceola Heritage Park or Silver Spurs Arena. Last-minute reservations are possible and we’ll always try to accommodate urgent requests, but availability may be limited and rates could be higher. Planning ahead gives you more options and peace of mind.

Long-distance charters include all the same amenities and support as local trips, with the added benefit of keeping your group together for the entire journey.

If your trip itinerary requires an overnight stay—such as a multi-day excursion to Key West or a weekend tournament in Fort Lauderdale—you will need to arrange hotel accommodations for the driver. The room should be a private, single-occupancy space in a safe location. Many groups reserve a block of rooms at the same hotel where they’re staying, which simplifies logistics and ensures the driver is nearby if needed. For day trips returning to Kissimmee the same night, no lodging is necessary.

To get the most value from your charter bus rental, plan your itinerary carefully and share it with us in advance. Include exact addresses for all stops—whether it’s a resort near Disney Springs or a picnic area at Shingle Creek Regional Park—estimated times, and any special requirements. Consider traffic patterns around major attractions like Disney’s Animal Kingdom and allow extra time for loading and unloading. Pack snacks, water, and entertainment for longer rides. Communicate with your group about departure times and rules for keeping the bus clean. And don’t hesitate to ask us for advice—we’re here to help make your trip a success!

Make your special day run smoothly by arranging guest transportation to and from the ceremony and reception. Some of the most popular wedding venues in Kissimmee include Paradise Cove, Mystic Dunes Resort & Golf Club, Reunion Resort, and Celebration Golf Club.

We can also provide shuttles for bachelor/bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners, and bridal showers.
