Frequently Asked Questions

What size charter bus do I need?

Start with your headcount and luggage. Up to 14 passengers fit in a Mercedes Sprinter, up to 28 in the Grech GM33, up to 40 in the Grech GM40, and 55–56 in a full-size motorcoach. If your group carries large bags or equipment, choose the next size up.

How many passengers fit in a charter bus?

It depends on the vehicle: 14 in our Sprinter, 28 or 40 in our executive buses, and 55–56 in a full-size motorcoach. For larger groups, we can schedule more than one vehicle.

Which buses have restrooms?

Restrooms are available on our full-size 55–56 passenger motorcoaches. If you need a restroom on board, mention it when you request a quote and we’ll match the right coach.

Do your buses have Wi-Fi and power outlets?

Wi-Fi and power outlets are available on select coaches and can be requested when you book. Let us know what your group needs and we’ll confirm the options for your vehicle.

How far in advance should I book a bus?

Book 2–4 weeks ahead for most trips, and 6–8 weeks ahead for peak dates or events that need more than one bus.

Can I rent a bus by the hour?

Yes. Choose an hourly booking for events with several stops or waiting time, or a point-to-point transfer for a direct run, such as hotel to venue.

Do you have wheelchair-accessible buses?

Yes, select coaches have an ADA wheelchair lift. Ask for it when you request a quote so we can assign the right vehicle.
