Which Charter Bus Is Best For Your Group?

If you are planning a road trip for your group of friends or family members, it will probably be worth your time to consider getting a charter bus so that you can all travel together. Charter buses come in a variety of sizes, all with their own pros and cons. In an effort to help you pick which type of bus charter would meet your needs, here is some more information about each.

Sprinters

Sprinter vans are great for groups of less than 15 people. They are extremely compact, making them a great option for visiting busy cities where you may be stuck in traffic. Due to their smaller size, sprinter vans do not require a commercial driver's license, allowing anyone with a basic driver's license to become the chauffeur. Some sprinter vans offer a little more personal space, though they usually only hold up to 12 passengers. If you have a more compact group, a sprinter van may be just what you need. Sprinter vans are usually used for quick trips. 

Minibus

A minibus can comfortably fit 18-21 passengers and is not so large as to be extremely difficult to maneuver. However, without previous experience, you may want to hire a chauffeur if you are going to be in heavily populated areas, though most people use minibus charters for more short-distance trips. If you have a group of older adults, minibusses are large enough to be easy to enter and exit, whereas sprinter vans can sometimes be a bit small. 

Coach

Coach buses can fit up to 56 passengers comfortably and are often used for long-distance trips. Some coach buses even include a small restroom so that the entire trip does not have to halt for one passenger. Coach buses do require a commercial driver's license, so many groups who do not want to go through certification will hire a chauffeur to take care of the company. Some companies require that you pay their driver by the day, while others do it by the hour or the mile. It is usually worth it though to feel safe and not have to worry about driving. 

In conclusion, no matter where you are going, there is a charter bus that can suit your group. Even if you have an extremely large group, you could caravan with coach buses! There are several online bus charter companies, and you may also be able to find a bus charter company near you. May you have sufficient room for all of your guests, and a safe and enjoyable journey.
