Frequently Asked Questions About Charter Bus Rentals in Ann Arbor

You can expect to pay between $1,900 and $3,800+ per day for a 56-passenger charter bus rental in Ann Arbor—or $197–$519+ per hour—with exact pricing depending on your trip details. Minibuses generally cost $1,600–$3,100 per day or $175–$400 per hour. The best way to get accurate, all-inclusive pricing is to call Bus Rental Company Ann Arbor at 734-800-2440 with your exact itinerary.

Major factors that affect your charter bus price include the size of bus you need (minibuses cost less than full-size motorcoaches), the length of your trip (local trips may be billed hourly, while longer trips are priced per day or per mile), your exact pickup and drop-off locations, the time of year (spring and fall are busy seasons due to University of Michigan events), and any special requirements like needing a brand-new bus or extra onboard amenities. Multi-day and out-of-state trips will cost more than single-day local service. Additional expenses like parking, tolls, and hotel rooms for your driver are not included in the base rental fee.

The fastest way to get a quote is to call our 24/7 reservations line at 734-800-2440. You can also use our online form to request a quote, and one of our agents will contact you within minutes. To generate an accurate quote quickly, we’ll need the following information: pickup location, drop-off location, departure date and time, return date and time (if applicable), number of passengers, and any special requests for amenities or branding.

Your quote includes the bus rental, a driver, fuel, and any tolls or mileage fees based on your itinerary. It does not include parking fees, hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips, or gratuity (typically 10–20%).

We recommend booking your bus at least six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy time of year like football season, graduation, or a major festival. The earlier you book, the better selection of vehicles you’ll have—and the more leverage you’ll have on pricing. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be limited to whatever is still available.

Bus Rental Company Ann Arbor offers 18-passenger minibuses, 20-passenger minibuses, 25-passenger minibuses, and 56-passenger full-size charter buses—all available for rental anywhere in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County. Every bus comes with cushioned forward-facing seats, climate control, overhead storage, and either vinyl or cloth upholstery depending on the model. Need something specific? Just ask—we likely have it available!

Standard amenities on our larger buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, luggage compartments, PA system, video monitors, DVD player, WiFi, 110V/USB power outlets, and restroom. Minibuses offer similar features except for the restroom and luggage bays. Additional options include tray tables, footrests, and custom branding.

Yes, all of our 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with a full bathroom located at the rear of the coach. This includes a toilet, sink, and vanity area. Bathrooms are cleaned and sanitized before every trip. Minibuses do not have bathrooms onboard, but we can schedule comfort stops as needed.

Yes, every bus in our fleet—including minibuses and full-size coaches—comes equipped with either 110V electrical outlets, USB ports, or both. On full-size charter buses, you’ll typically find one or two standard three-prong outlets per row of seats, either built into the side panel below the window or mounted between seat backs. Many models also include dual USB charging ports at each seat pair. Minibuses usually have several shared outlets distributed throughout the cabin, along with optional USB ports depending on the exact vehicle. If you need to power laptops, tablets, phones, or other small electronics, our onboard outlets make it easy to stay charged for the entire trip.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on most of our charter buses and minibuses, but it’s always best to request it in advance to ensure you get a bus with this feature. The onboard Wi-Fi allows passengers to browse the web, check email, use social media, and stream music or videos on their personal devices. Bandwidth may be limited depending on the number of users and the location of the bus, so heavy streaming (like Netflix or YouTube) may be restricted to preserve speed for everyone. If reliable internet access is essential for your group—such as for business travel, student groups, or long-distance trips—let your reservation specialist know, and they’ll match you with a coach that has Wi-Fi included. We can also provide technical details about the Wi-Fi system upon request.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for your driver. The driver must have a private room to ensure they get adequate rest before the return trip. Many hotels offer discounted rooms for charter bus drivers when booked as part of a group block—be sure to ask about this when making your reservation. If your trip does not require an overnight stay but involves a layover between drop-off and pick-up, you may still need to arrange a place for the driver to wait.
