Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Shreveport

A charter bus is a large, full-size motorcoach rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike fixed-route buses, charter buses operate entirely on the renter’s itinerary, making them ideal for one-way, round-trip, or multi-stop trips. They commonly seat 40 to 56 passengers and are used for events like corporate outings, school field trips, sports team travel, weddings, and multi-day tours. Modern charter buses offer comfortable seating, climate control, and various onboard amenities.

Charter Bus Company Shreveport offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Shreveport, Bossier City, and the entire Ark-La-Tex region. We can provide anything from a 15-, 18-, 20-, 25-, 28- or 35-passenger minibus to a 40-, 45-, 50- or 56-passenger full-size motorcoach, with several models seating up to 57, 58, or even 60 passengers. Available makes include Van Hool CX and TX series, Prevost H3-45 and X3-45, MCI J4500 and D4500, Setra S417, TEMSA TS30/TS35/TS45, and Grech Motors or Executive Coach Builders (ECB) minibuses. Many vehicles can be requested in black, white, silver, or custom colors, and we also offer party buses (20–40 guests), entertainer coaches (with sleeper bunks), and ADA-accessible buses. Our team will help you choose the best bus based on your group size, trip type, and desired amenities.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, and a restroom with hand sanitizer. Entertainment options typically feature flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, and a sound system with microphone. Many coaches offer onboard Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets (one per pair of seats), and USB ports. Larger models may have HDMI inputs for laptops/game consoles, PA systems, and optional leather upholstery. Minibuses include cloth/vinyl seats, A/C, and basic audio; premium models add Wi-Fi and USB charging. Luxury upgrades—such as leatherette seating, wood-look flooring, and custom lighting—are available on request.

Yes, all our Shreveport charter buses have ample luggage space. Full-size motorcoaches (40–56 passengers) come with both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage baggage bays beneath the floor. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase (to be stored below) plus one carry-on bag or backpack (to go in the overhead rack). The undercarriage bays can accommodate bulky items like sports equipment, band instruments, or display cases. Smaller minibuses (15–35 passengers) have overhead racks and limited rear cargo space but may not have full underfloor bays; larger items can sometimes be placed in the rear of the cabin if needed. If your group has extra luggage—such as coolers, presentation materials, or special equipment—let us know when booking so we can recommend a vehicle with sufficient capacity. For oversized items (e.g., bicycles, PA systems), advance notice helps us ensure everything will fit comfortably.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Shreveport can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Just let us know your accessibility needs when you request a quote.

Several factors affect the cost of renting a charter bus in Shreveport: the type and size of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the distance and duration of the trip, the time of year (peak seasons like spring and fall are more expensive), and any additional amenities requested (Wi-Fi, DVD monitors, leather seats). Additional expenses may include tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging for overnight trips.

It’s best to book your Shreveport charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, sports events, and weddings, so buses can book up quickly. For major events like Mardi Gras, Red River Revel, or college homecoming weekends, try to reserve at least 6 months ahead. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer fewer vehicle options.

We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and company checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract. If you need to set up a payment plan or have questions about billing, our team is happy to assist.
