Several factors influence the cost of your bus rental: the type and size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the distance traveled, and the time of year. Bigger buses with more amenities cost more than smaller, basic models. Longer trips that require overnight stays will be more expensive than short local charters. Peak seasons like spring (Derby time) and fall (football season) see higher demand and prices. Additional features like onboard restrooms, WiFi, or custom branding may also affect your quote. To get the best rate, book early and provide as much information as possible about your itinerary.

We serve all kinds of groups across Louisville and Kentucky. Schools book us for field trips to the Louisville Zoo or Bernheim Forest. Sports teams use our coaches to travel to away games in Lexington or Bowling Green. Couples hire minibuses to shuttle wedding guests between hotels and venues like Waterfront Park or Yew Dell Gardens. Businesses rely on us for corporate shuttles to conferences at the Kentucky International Convention Center. We also work with churches, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and private families planning reunions or sightseeing tours. No matter the size or purpose of your group, we have a bus that will get you there.

We recommend booking your bus as early as possible—ideally three to six months before your event. This is especially important during peak seasons like April and May (for Derby-related events) or September and October (for fall festivals and football games). Last-minute bookings are sometimes available, but your options may be limited and prices may be higher. If you’re planning a large event or need multiple buses, advance notice gives us more time to coordinate logistics and secure the best vehicles for your group.

Yes, we regularly provide transportation for multi-day trips across Kentucky and beyond. Whether you’re taking a church group to Gatlinburg for the weekend or escorting a high school band to a competition in Indianapolis, we’ll arrange a bus that stays with you for the duration of your journey. Multi-day rentals are priced based on the total number of days, estimated mileage, and any overnight accommodations required for your driver. Be sure to share your full itinerary when requesting a quote so we can plan accordingly.

Most full-size charter buses in our fleet are equipped with onboard restrooms located at the rear of the coach. These facilities are suitable for basic needs between scheduled stops. Minibuses typically do not have restrooms due to space constraints, so plan to make occasional breaks if you’re traveling with a smaller vehicle. If having a restroom on board is essential for your trip, please specify this requirement when booking and we’ll ensure your bus meets the need.

Downtown Louisville offers several options for charter bus parking. The primary drop-off and pick-up zone for motorcoaches is located at 301 E River Road near the Belle of Louisville steamboat and Waterfront Park. Buses may stage here temporarily while passengers visit nearby attractions like the KFC Yum! Center or Muhammad Ali Center. For longer-term parking, Central High School Magnet Career Academy at 1130 W Chestnut Street allows buses to park free of charge in designated areas. Always check with your destination venue in advance, as some locations have specific instructions or require permits for bus access.

Your quote covers the complete cost of renting the bus for the duration specified—including mileage, tolls, and standard amenities.
