Several factors influence the cost of your charter bus rental in Johnson City:

• Type of Bus: Larger vehicles like 56-passenger motorcoaches cost more than 18- or 25-seat minibuses. Newer and luxury models also command higher rates.
• Trip Duration & Distance: Local trips are billed hourly (with a minimum), while longer trips are charged by the mile or day. Multi-day and one-way trips increase the total.
• Time of Year: Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school and sports travel, so rates rise with demand. Summer and winter may be cheaper.
• Pickup Location: If your trip starts far from the bus depot, you’ll pay extra for the empty “deadhead” miles.
• Itinerary Details: Multiple stops, tight schedules, or difficult routes (e.g., mountain driving) can add to the cost.
• Additional Fees: Tolls, parking, driver lodging (for overnight trips), and optional amenities (Wi-Fi, PA systems) may not be included in the base quote.

Larger coaches (40–56 passengers) typically include onboard restroom, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, Wi-Fi, and 110V power outlets or USB ports at each row. Optional upgrades include leatherette upholstery, individual tray tables, footrests, LED accent lighting, and auxiliary Bluetooth audio. Mid-size (28–35) and minibus (18–25) may have partial amenities: some with Wi-Fi and video screens, others basic seating. All models offer forward-facing high-back seats, strong A/C, and space for bags. Ask your agent about specific amenities when booking.

Yes, most full-size (40–56) in Johnson City are equipped with a restroom located at the rear of the coach. The restroom includes a toilet with chemical holding tank, hand sanitizer dispenser, and small privacy door; however, it does not have running water or a sink. The facility is intended for emergency or limited use while the vehicle is in motion. For longer trips, your driver can schedule regular comfort breaks at rest areas or travel plazas with full restroom facilities. Smaller (18–35) typically do not have onboard restrooms due to space constraints. If a restroom is required, please request a full-size coach when booking.

Yes, most newer (2015–2024) in Johnson City are equipped with 110V power outlets and/or USB charging ports. On full-size coaches (40–56), outlets are typically located at each seating row—either between pairs of seats or along the sidewall—allowing passengers to charge laptops, tablets, and phones during the trip. Some models offer both 110V outlets and USB-A ports for convenience. Mid-size (28–35) and larger minibus (22–25) may have several outlets distributed throughout the cabin, though not necessarily at every seat. Older (pre-2015) may have limited or no power outlets. If device charging is important for your group, please confirm availability when booking.

Yes, most modern (2015–2024) in Johnson City can be equipped with onboard Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi system connects to a 4G/5G cellular network and provides wireless Internet access throughout the cabin. While suitable for email, web browsing, and social media, bandwidth is limited and may not support streaming video or large downloads—especially in rural areas or when many devices are connected. Full-size (40–56) usually include Wi-Fi as a standard amenity; mid-size (28–35) and minibus (18–25) may offer it as an option. If continuous connectivity is important, please request a vehicle with Wi-Fi when booking and ask about data limits or performance expectations.

Yes, all have dedicated luggage space. Full-size (40–56) feature large undercarriage baggage bays capable of holding multiple suitcases, duffel bags, or equipment cases. In addition, overhead parcel racks inside the cabin can accommodate backpacks, briefcases, or smaller items. Mid-size (28–35) often include both underfloor storage and interior racks. Minibuses (18–25) typically provide rear cargo area or extended luggage compartment, along with limited overhead space. As a guideline, a full-size coach can carry one large suitcase plus one carry-on per passenger. If your group has oversized items (e.g., sports gear, instruments), please mention this when booking to ensure adequate storage.

We can provide buses that seat anywhere from 18 to 56 passengers. Minibuses are available in 18-, 20-, and 25-passenger configurations; mid-size buses typically seat 28, 30, or 35; and full-size motorcoaches accommodate 40, 47, 50, or 56. Larger groups can book multiple vehicles traveling together. All seating is forward-facing with high-back cushioned seats. If you’re not sure what size you need, our agents can recommend the best option based on your headcount and budget.

In downtown Johnson City, charter buses can load and unload passengers on State of Franklin Road near the Millennium Centre, along East Main Street by Founders Park, or at designated zones on Buffalo Street and Market Street. For longer-term parking, use the surface lot behind the old Ashe Street Courthouse or the public lot off Legion Street near TVA Credit Union Ballpark. East Tennessee State University allows bus staging in Lot 21 (Minidome), Lot 9 (Brooks Gym), and Lot 22A (across State of Franklin) with prior arrangement through ETSU Parking Services. At Freedom Hall Civic Center, buses should use the upper-level lot adjacent to the main arena entrance. For event venues like the Carnegie Hotel, Willow Springs Park, or the Appalachian Fairgrounds, contact the facility in advance to coordinate drop-off and parking—most have overflow or gravel lots for bus staging. When visiting downtown breweries, restaurants, or wedding venues, pre-arrange a curbside loading zone on a side street and stage the bus at a nearby public lot until pickup. Always avoid blocking driveways, fire lanes, or residential streets, and follow city parking enforcement guidelines.

It’s best to book your charter bus rental as early as possible—ideally 2–6 months before your trip. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school, sports, and wedding events, so buses sell out quickly. For major events or large groups, reserve 6–12 months ahead. Last-minute bookings are possible but may have limited availability and higher rates.

Your quote includes the bus rental, driver’s time, mileage, fuel, and standard amenities (A/C, reclining seats, PA system, luggage bays). It does not include parking fees, tolls, or driver’s gratuity (typically 10–20%). For overnight trips, you’ll need to provide or pay for the driver’s hotel. Optional add-ons like Wi-Fi, DVD monitors, or premium seating may be extra—ask your agent for a detailed breakdown.

Once you receive a quote and are ready to book, simply call your reservation specialist to confirm the details. You’ll receive a contract to sign and an invoice for the deposit—typically 30–40% of the total fare. The balance is due 1–2 weeks before departure.

Final passenger counts and itinerary changes can be made up to a few days before the trip.

Yes, you can rent a bus for multiple days, an overnight trip, or even several weeks at a time. Multi-day rentals are common for out-of-town sports tournaments, band trips, corporate events, and multi-leg tours. The pricing will be based on the number of days, total mileage, and any layover or idle time between segments. For overnight trips, you’ll need to provide or pay for the driver’s hotel—most groups arrange a room at the same hotel or a nearby budget option. If your itinerary includes long-distance travel, be aware that drivers are limited by federal law to 10 hours of driving and 15 hours on duty per day; longer trips may require a second driver. Just provide your full schedule when requesting a quote, and we’ll package everything into one reservation.
