Coach Bus Rentals in Louisville, Kentucky

Louisville Coach Bus Service offers one of the largest and most versatile fleets in Kentucky, with vehicles available in every size and style. You can rent minibuses that seat 15 to 35 passengers—great for shuttling wedding guests between venues like Waterfront Park or Churchill Downs. For larger groups, our full-size charter buses hold 40 to 56 people and come from top manufacturers like MCI, Prevost, and Van Hool. We also have party buses (10 to 50 passengers) equipped with hardwood floors, perimeter seating, and optional dance poles; sprinter vans (10 to 15 passengers) for small-group transportation; and even school buses for budget-friendly travel across Jefferson County Public Schools districts.

Bus rental prices in Louisville range from $145 to $550+ per hour for a charter bus, $150 to $450+ per hour for a minibus, $180 to $520+ per hour for a party bus, and $160 to $450+ per hour for a sprinter van. Daily rates are typically $1,520 to $5,000+ for a charter bus, $1,520 to $3,465+ for a minibus, and $1,000 to $3,900+ for a party bus or sprinter van. Per-mile pricing usually falls between $4.00 and $9.95, depending on the vehicle type and distance traveled. These rates do not include tolls, parking fees, or gratuity.

The biggest factors affecting your quote are travel dates, trip distance, and vehicle size. Rentals during the Kentucky Derby, Thunder Over Louisville, or college football season at the University of Louisville will cost more due to high demand. Longer trips—like a weeklong tour from Louisville to Nashville and back—are priced by mileage or day, while local shuttles downtown may use hourly rates. Larger buses with premium amenities (restrooms, WiFi, TVs) cost more than basic minibuses or school buses. Finally, last-minute bookings are usually more expensive than trips reserved months in advance.

Getting a quote is fast and easy: just call our team anytime, 24/7, or fill out the online form with your trip details. We’ll need to know your headcount, pickup and drop-off locations, itinerary, and any specific requests (like under-bus storage for luggage or coolers). Within minutes, you’ll receive an instant quote tailored to your exact needs. If you’re ready to book, you can confirm everything right online. Our team is always available to answer questions and help you choose the perfect bus for your group.

Our fleet includes vehicles with every amenity package you can imagine. Standard features on most charter buses and minibuses include reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage racks, and PA systems for tour guides or announcements. Many larger coaches offer free WiFi, power outlets or USB ports at each seat, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, and onboard restrooms. Party buses add LED lighting, wraparound seating, Bluetooth sound systems, and space to dance. Sprinter vans are ideal for smaller groups who want comfortable, efficient transportation without extra frills.

We provide transportation for every kind of event and group across Kentucky. Weddings are a huge part of our business—brides and grooms love having a private shuttle to move guests between ceremony and reception sites in places like Cherokee Park or The Gillespie. Sports teams and fans use our buses to get to Cardinals games at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium or road trips to Lexington for UK matchups. Corporate clients book daily commuter shuttles from suburban office parks to downtown, as well as conference transfers at the Kentucky International Convention Center. School field trips, church outings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and multi-day tours are all easily handled by our team.

Charter buses can load and unload passengers at designated zones near major attractions like Fourth Street Live!, the KFC Yum! Center, and the Muhammad Ali Center. For longer-term parking, Riverside Parking Lot (at 1401 River Road) accommodates oversized vehicles and is convenient to both Waterfront Park and downtown hotels. Buses visiting the Kentucky International Convention Center should coordinate drop-off times with event organizers and use nearby surface lots for staging. Always check with your destination in advance, as street closures and construction may affect access routes.

No, your quote covers only the base rental cost for the vehicle and does not include tolls, parking fees, or gratuity. Any tolls incurred while traveling on I-65 across the Kennedy or Lincoln bridges will be billed separately. Parking fees vary by location—downtown garages and surface lots typically charge $20-$40 per day for oversized vehicles. While not required, it’s customary to tip your driver 10-20% of the total fare for excellent service. Plan to budget extra for these expenses when organizing your trip.

Yes, you are allowed to bring alcohol and food on board most of our buses, but we ask that you clean up after yourselves and dispose of trash properly. Coolers, snacks, and boxed meals are fine for long trips—just avoid glass containers if possible. If your group plans to drink heavily (such as a bachelor party heading to Bardstown Road bars), consider renting a party bus with easy-to-clean interiors. Smoking is strictly prohibited on all vehicles. Please note that any spills or damage may result in additional cleaning fees.
