A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed to carry 40-56 passengers comfortably over long distances. These are the biggest vehicles in our fleet and come equipped with amenities like cushioned seats, overhead storage, luggage bays, restrooms, TVs, DVD players, WiFi, power outlets, and PA systems. Charter buses are perfect for moving big groups around Denton County or taking day trips to places like Six Flags Over Texas, AT&T Stadium, American Airlines Center, or the State Fair of Texas. They’re also great for airport transfers to DFW or Love Field.

A minibus is a smaller version of a charter bus that typically seats between 15 and 35 passengers. These vehicles are ideal for short-distance travel within Denton or nearby cities like Corinth, Lake Dallas, Hickory Creek, Sanger, or Argyle. Minibuses offer many of the same features as larger coaches but in a more compact package—think WiFi, reclining seats, climate control, and audio/video systems. They’re easy to maneuver through city streets and perfect for shuttling wedding guests, corporate teams, or students around town.

Our charter buses come in several sizes: 40-passenger, 47-passenger, 50-passenger, and 56-passenger models. The exact number of seats depends on the make and model of the bus, but most full-size coaches will have room for at least 50 people plus storage space for luggage and equipment. If you’re not sure what size you need, just call us at 940-377-0610 and we’ll help you figure it out based on your headcount and itinerary.

Minibuses generally seat anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers. Popular sizes include 18-passenger, 20-passenger, 25-passenger, and 30-passenger configurations. These are great for medium-sized groups who want something bigger than a van but smaller than a full-size coach. They’re especially popular for hotel shuttles, campus loops, and quick trips around Denton’s downtown square.

We offer a wide range of vehicles to suit any group size or budget. Our fleet includes 15-passenger minibuses, 25-passenger minibuses, 30-passenger minibuses, 40-passenger charter buses, 47-passenger charter buses, 50-passenger charter buses, and 56-passenger charter buses.

Charter buses have the most storage capacity, with large underfloor bays that can hold multiple suitcases, coolers, instrument cases, or sports equipment. Overhead racks inside the cabin are perfect for smaller bags, backpacks, or jackets. Minibuses have less room but still offer enough space for carry-ons and a few larger items in the back. If you’re traveling with bulky gear like band instruments, tailgating supplies, or AV equipment, please mention it when booking so we can recommend the best option.
