No — Delraybeachcharterbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving Delray Beach and the surrounding area. In practical terms, that means you fill out one form or make one call, see your options on a national booking platform, and choose the vehicle that fits your trip.
The transportation itself is performed by independent operators, not by this website.

With Delraybeachcharterbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 561-493-2849 and immediately see more options and different price points than any single local company could offer. You see vehicles and rates in seconds, and companies within the network are competing for your booking — which tends to work in your favor.

The transportation company assigned to the booking is confirmed to you after you complete it on the booking platform.
Booking a charter bus
Fill out the form with your trip details — or call 561-493-2849 — and you're taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company works with a network of operators serving the Delray Beach area, and right there on their website you can see available vehicles, photos, amenities, and pricing for your specific trip. What you're choosing is a vehicle and a price.
Book the one that works for your group directly on the booking platform, all in just minutes.
Your pickup city, where you're going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That's enough to get started. The more detail you give — your stops, your start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities that matter — the more accurate your quote comes back and the better your chances of finding the right vehicle at the right price.
More detail in means better results out.
Right away — there's no waiting on a callback. As soon as you submit the form you go straight to the search results page and see quotes on the booking company's website. You're not sitting by the phone hoping someone gets back to you.
If you'd rather talk through the trip with a person first, call 561-493-2849 any time and someone will walk you through it.
The earlier the better for a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type benefits from booking further ahead. That said — because Delraybeachcharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Delray Beach area rather than one company with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable. That's the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single operator and being told no.
Submit your request or call 561-493-2849 even on short notice. It's always worth checking what's available for your date.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time — great for a night out on Atlantic Avenue or a wedding with a flexible schedule. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another.
A round trip brings everyone back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several pickup or drop-off points, like a brewery loop through Delray Beach and Boynton Beach. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a group charter down to Key West or up to Orlando.
Which format fits depends entirely on your trip — and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full when you submit the request so it comes back priced correctly.
Charter bus pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Those are the real ranges — and pricing is not one size fits all. Different packages, different vehicle types, different dates, and different routes all move the number, so the range is a starting point rather than your price.
The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and get pricing in seconds. Or call 561-493-2849 — going through the trip with someone can surface better packages and pricing than you'd find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours — say, a group shuttle from a Delray Beach hotel to the Delray Beach Open at the tennis center and back — is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance, roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark (think Orlando, Tampa, or Key West), may carry a per-mile charge instead.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Submit your actual trip details and the platform determines which structure applies.
The type and size of bus, how long it's booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all move the price. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime prices lower than those same evenings.
Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity you won't use. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock — which matters on a multi-stop night along Atlantic Avenue or a loop to Saltwater Brewery (1701 W Atlantic Ave, Delray Beach, FL 33444) and back.
In Delray Beach specifically, February and April are two of the busiest months of the year — the Delray Beach Open tennis tournament in February and the Delray Affair festival in April both put enormous pressure on local transportation. Book those dates well ahead. Outside of peak periods, more flexibility means more room to find a lower rate.
About charter buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule — rather than riding a fixed public route. It's built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a standard full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. The group has the whole bus to itself for the duration of the trip.
Outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, wide coach body with high windows running the full length of the vehicle and luggage bay doors along the bottom skirt. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color — though some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the coach that shows up may not always look the same. Makes like the MCI J4500, Van Hool CX45, and Prevost H3-45 are common on the road and follow this same general profile.
Inside, you'll find forward-facing seats in pairs on either side of a center aisle. Seat fabric may be cloth or leather depending on the make and model. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin.
A restroom sits toward the rear. The overall impression is closer to a long-haul aircraft cabin than to any other vehicle — tall, wide, and built to be comfortable across a long run.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, an onboard restroom, overhead and undercarriage storage, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may include any combination of these depending on the make, model, and specific vehicle — they vary by coach and are confirmed during booking. If there are amenities that matter to your group, note them with your trip details when you submit the request, since that narrows which vehicles come back for your date.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common build on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and can be configured for up to 60. The Van Hool CX45 is the same — 56 standard, up to 60.
The Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach is configuration — extra legroom or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total.
Because Delraybeachcharterbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what's available for your date. Submit the trip or call 561-493-2849 if your group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — forward facing, paired, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position. Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for a better view forward.
Those variations aside, 14 rows is the standard layout on a full-size 56-passenger coach.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in perspective — roughly three cars parked end to end. That's the number worth having in mind if you're working out whether a bus fits a particular loading area or driveway.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and they're used when the route or venue calls for a more maneuverable vehicle. The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size build.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model. Traffic engineers design for 12 feet as the standard clearance, so that's the figure to work with if you're checking a garage, a parking structure, or a low-clearance entry. For a real-world comparison — a full-size coach is a little taller than a single story of a house.
If your venue, hotel, or event site has a height-restricted approach, that's the number to check against.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. One thing worth knowing: onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies. The other thing worth knowing — and this is where groups sometimes get surprised — is that onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach.
Phones, messaging, and browsing work well. Fifty or sixty people doing heavy work or streaming video at once will push past what it's designed for. If WiFi matters to your group, note it with your trip details when you submit the request, since that narrows which vehicles come back.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach. The honest expectation: it's there so the group doesn't have to stop, and on a longer run — say, the two-and-a-half to three hours from Delray Beach down to Key West or up to Orlando — the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way.
If having an onboard restroom is important for your group, note it with your trip details so the right vehicle is matched to the booking.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at or near every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. In practical terms, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — which matters on a four-hour charter up to Orlando or a multi-day trip.
If power access is important to your group, note it with your trip details when you submit the request.
Yes — in two places. Inside the coach, overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin. Underneath the coach, undercarriage baggage bays run along the bottom skirt and are accessed through exterior bay doors.
A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks.
What that means in practice: across a full 56-passenger load, it works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead. In real terms — about one checked-size bag per person below, plus one small carry-on above. That's the standard expectation for a fully loaded coach.
What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space. Bulky gear — instruments, sports equipment, catering supplies, event materials — takes the space of several standard bags. If your group is traveling with anything oversized or has more luggage than average, state it with your trip details when you submit the request.
That's how the right coach gets matched to the group rather than finding out at the curb.

February is one of the tightest months of the year. The Delray Beach Open tennis tournament at the Delray Beach Tennis Center (50 NW 1st Ave, Delray Beach, FL 33444) draws large crowds downtown and pulls transportation across the whole market. April is the other peak — the Delray Affair along Atlantic Avenue is one of the largest arts and crafts festivals in the Southeast, stretching seven city blocks, and local buses are spoken for early.
Prom season runs April through May across Atlantic Community High School and Palm Beach County schools. Graduation follows in May and June across FAU, Palm Beach State, and Lynn University. The St. Patrick's Day festival on Atlantic Ave in March brings another surge.
December's holiday season and Festival of Lights on Atlantic Avenue is another busy stretch. On those dates, the whole local market gets taken early — book well ahead. Short-notice requests are still worth submitting, because this site puts the request in front of a whole network rather than one operator.
Planning your Delray Beach, Florida charter bus trip
The network serves all three major airports near Delray Beach. President Donald J. Trump International Airport (PBI) (1000 James L.

Submit your trip or call 561-493-2849 to get pricing for your specific airport run.
