Amenities Available on our 56 Passenger Charter Buses in Gainesville
Wi-Fi
Every 56-passenger charter bus comes equipped with fast onboard WiFi so you can stay connected anywhere in Gainesville—from downtown streets to I-75 and UF campus. Stream video, join Zoom calls, check email, or follow live game stats while you ride. You’ll never miss a meeting, class update, or Gators score when you have internet access built into your motorcoach. This is mobile broadband built for real-world use—not just around town, but all the way to your destination.
Onboard Restrooms
Our 56-passenger buses include a full-service onboard restroom with toilet and handwashing sink—ideal for long trips across Florida or navigating game-day traffic near Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Reduce unscheduled stops on I-75, keep your itinerary on track, and give passengers a private convenience option during multi-hour journeys. Perfect for school field trips, athletic travel, and corporate charters that run nonstop between major cities.
Onboard TVs
Entertainment comes standard with multiple flat-screen TVs mounted throughout the cabin of every 56-seat charter bus. Coaches feature up to six monitors—including front bulkhead and mid-cabin screens—so everyone gets a clear view of the action. Play movies, TV episodes, or custom video playlists through the integrated media system while you travel to events like Gator games, band competitions, or Disney trips. It’s the easiest way to keep a full bus entertained from Gainesville to anywhere.
Power Outlets
Stay fully charged with 110V power outlets and USB ports available at every row of seats. Our largest charter buses include either shared outlets between seats or individual ports at each position, allowing passengers to plug in laptops, tablets, and phones simultaneously. Run a MacBook, recharge an iPad, or top off a portable battery pack without leaving your seat. This is essential for business groups heading to UF conferences, students working on assignments, or anyone who needs their device ready on arrival.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Beat the Florida heat with powerful climate control and personal air vents at every row. Triple-zone HVAC systems maintain a consistent temperature from front to back, while adjustable overhead nozzles let each passenger direct airflow exactly where they want it. Stay cool during August moves into UF dorms, warm up after a winter soccer match, and eliminate arguments over the thermostat with a system that keeps everyone comfortable. Window shades are also included to block out glare from the afternoon sun.
Leather Seating
Experience true comfort with high-back leatherette seats arranged four across with a center aisle. Cushioned headrests, contoured lumbar support, and reclining backs make even the longest trips easy to handle. Armrests and footrests add extra relaxation options, turning your seat into a personal lounge chair for the ride to your next destination.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Storage is never an issue with large overhead bins inside the cabin and massive undercarriage bays below the floor. Overhead compartments run the length of both aisles, perfect for backpacks, purses, and small carry-ons. The underfloor luggage bay spans the entire width of the bus, providing up to 500 cubic feet of space for suitcases, athletic gear, band instruments, or trade show displays. Load everything at once and keep the aisle clear for boarding.
