Additional services like special amenities, tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations can also affect the final price. Get an exact quote by calling 269-350-9650.
Is a deposit required?
Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your charter bus rental in Grand Rapids. This deposit is typically due at the time of booking and is applied toward your total balance. The remaining amount can be paid later, but the deposit ensures that your vehicle is reserved for your desired dates. Contact our team at 269-350-9650 for specific deposit amounts and payment instructions.
When is the final payment due?
The final payment for your Grand Rapids charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip.

For exact payment schedules and options, please contact our reservation specialists at 269-350-9650.
Is gratuity included?
Yes, driver gratuity is included in your Grand Rapids charter bus rental quote by default. However, if you feel your driver provided exceptional service, you’re welcome to offer an additional tip—industry standard is around 10-20% of the total cost. Extra tips can be given directly to the driver in cash at the end of your trip. If you’d like to adjust the gratuity amount beforehand, just let your reservation specialist know.

Larger coaches may have onboard restrooms, while premium models can feature leather upholstery, LED lighting, and even custom branding.
How far in advance should I book?
It’s best to book your Grand Rapids charter bus at least 6 to 9 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak travel times like spring and summer. This gives you the best selection of vehicles and helps lock in lower rates. Last-minute bookings are possible but availability may be limited and prices higher. For large events or multi-day trips, booking even earlier is recommended. Call 269-350-9650 to check availability.

To confirm your reservation, simply sign the contract and pay the deposit. Our team will handle the rest!
I need to provide accommodation for the driver?
Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you’ll need to provide hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should offer best parking for the bus and be rated at least 2 stars. Many hotels in Grand Rapids offer discounted rooms for drivers. If you need help arranging this, our team can recommend convenient options. For longer trips, you may need multiple drivers to comply with hours-of-service regulations.
Does the quote include all possible fees, like tolls and parking?
No, your charter bus quote does not include tolls, parking, or special permits. These fees are separate from the base rental cost and are the responsibility of the customer. Any tolls incurred during the trip will be added to your final invoice. Parking fees at venues or hotels must be paid directly. If your route requires bridge or highway tolls, factor these into your budget. Our team can estimate additional costs based on your itinerary.
Where can I park a charter bus in Grand Rapids?
Grand Rapids offers several options for charter bus parking. Downtown, you can use the Area 5 Lot at 250 Seward Ave NW, which accommodates oversized vehicles and is close to Bridge Street entertainment and GVSU’s Pew Campus. For events at Van Andel Arena, DeVos Place, or the Grand Rapids Public Museum, contact venue staff ahead of time to arrange bus parking—many have designated areas nearby. For Meijer Gardens, there’s a dedicated bus lot off East Beltline Avenue. Always coordinate parking in advance, as some downtown streets have size restrictions or require permits.
What are Grand Rapids’ public transit options and why should I choose a private charter bus instead?
Grand Rapids is served by The Rapid, a fixed-route bus system operating across Kent County with connections to downtown, hospitals, and colleges. While affordable, The Rapid offers limited routes, fixed schedules, and no direct service to many suburban or rural destinations. A private charter bus provides door-to-door transportation on your schedule, with flexible routing, custom pickup/drop-off locations, and premium amenities like Wi-Fi and reclining seats—ideal for groups traveling beyond the reach of local transit.
What airports in and around Grand Rapids do you serve?
