Charter Bus Rentals Jacksonville, Florida

The inside of a charter bus is designed for comfort and convenience. You’ll find rows of cushioned seats—either cloth or leatherette—each with armrests, footrests, and the ability to recline. Overhead bins run along both sides for carry-on items, while larger luggage compartments are located under the floor. There are individual reading lights, air vents, and power outlets at each seat. The aisle is wide enough for easy movement, and there’s often a small restroom at the rear. Some buses have video screens mounted on the ceiling or behind the driver.

A standard full-size charter bus has between 40 and 56 seats. The most common configurations are 47, 52, or 56 passengers. Smaller minibuses can have anywhere from 18 to 35 seats, depending on the model. The exact number of seats depends on the manufacturer and the interior layout chosen by the operator. Seats are typically arranged in pairs on either side of a central aisle, but some buses have a row of four seats across the back or a few seats facing backward at the front.

Most modern charter buses come with reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and flat-screen monitors. You’ll also get plenty of storage space both overhead and under the bus. Larger buses may have additional features like PA systems, tray tables, or even USB ports at every seat. If you need something specific—like extra luggage space for an airport transfer or a DVD player for a school trip—just ask. Jacksonville Party Bus Company will make sure you get a bus that fits your needs.

Yes, most modern charter buses are equipped with power outlets and/or USB ports at each seat row so passengers can charge phones, laptops, and other devices during the trip. Older models may not have individual outlets but often include a few shared outlets throughout the cabin. If having access to power is important for your group—especially for long trips or business travel—be sure to request a bus with this feature when booking. Many newer buses offer both standard 110V outlets and USB charging ports.

Yes, most full-size charter buses are equipped with a small restroom located at the rear of the bus. The bathroom typically includes a toilet and a hand sanitizer dispenser or sink. While it’s convenient for emergencies, it’s not meant to replace regular stops at rest areas—especially on longer trips. Minibuses and smaller shuttle buses usually do not have onboard restrooms, so plan accordingly if you’re booking one of those vehicles for your group. Always confirm specific amenities when reserving your bus.

Yes, charter buses have plenty of luggage space. Full-size coaches offer up to 500 cubic feet of underfloor storage for large suitcases and equipment, plus overhead bins inside the cabin for smaller bags. Minibuses have either rear cargo areas or smaller underfloor compartments. This makes it easy to bring everything you need, whether it’s luggage for a multi-day trip, sports gear, musical instruments, or trade show displays. You won’t have to worry about running out of room or having to leave anything behind.

The cost of a charter bus rental in Jacksonville depends on several factors, including the size of the bus, the length of the trip, and the time of year. Local trips are usually priced by the hour, with a minimum of four or five hours required. Longer trips are priced by the mile or by the day. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking, and driver accommodations are not included in the base rate. To get an accurate quote for your trip, contact Jacksonville Party Bus Company with your itinerary and we’ll provide you with a personalized estimate.

You should book your Jacksonville charter bus at least 6–9 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy season (spring break, summer, holidays) or overlaps with major local events like Florida-Georgia weekend, Welcome to Rockville, or TIAA Bank Field concerts. Buses are first-come, first-served, and waiting until the last minute means you’ll have fewer options and may pay higher rates. Once you have your date and headcount, put down a deposit to lock in your vehicle—it’s fully refundable if plans change.

We’ll need to know your travel dates, destination, how many people you’re bringing, and any special requests for the bus (like Wi-Fi or extra luggage space).

No, your quote does not include tolls or parking fees. These are separate charges that you’ll need to pay directly. For example, if your bus needs to park at EverBank Stadium for a Jaguars game or at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena for a concert, you’ll be responsible for securing and paying for the parking pass. The same goes for hotel parking in Downtown Jacksonville or tolls on roads like the First Coast Expressway. We’ll help you identify any potential extra costs based on your itinerary so there are no surprises.

Jacksonville’s public transit is operated by the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) and includes city buses, the Skyway monorail, and limited regional service. However, routes are spread out and schedules don’t always match up with group itineraries—especially if you’re traveling outside Downtown or after hours. Private charter buses give your group door-to-door service anywhere in the city, from corporate events at the Prime Osborn Center to beach trips in Ponte Vedra or airport transfers at JAX. You’ll set your own schedule, keep everyone together, and enjoy direct transportation that public transit can’t provide.
