Power outlets on a bus

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.

Air vents on a charter bus

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 seats on a Charter bus

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.

Storage space on a charter bus

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.
