Charter Bus Rentals in Franklin

A charter bus is a large, professionally operated motorcoach that is rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a schedule set by the renter. Unlike fixed-route public buses, charter buses operate entirely on-demand, making them ideal for events like corporate outings, school trips, weddings, or sports travel. They typically seat 40–56 passengers and offer amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, and luggage storage.

Charter Bus Company Franklin offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Franklin and the greater Nashville area, including Franklin, Brentwood, Cool Springs, and more. Our fleet includes full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches from top brands like Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, and Setra S417—perfect for large groups or long-distance trips. We also offer smaller 35- to 40-passenger coaches, several sizes of minibus (15-, 18-, 20-, 25-, and 28-passenger models), and even party buses or executive sprinter vans for groups of 10 to 15. If you need something specific, like an ADA-accessible coach or a vehicle with custom branding, we can provide it.

Most modern charter buses in Franklin come standard with plush reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, overhead parcel racks, and large undercarriage luggage bays. Entertainment options typically include flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, and a PA system. Many coaches offer Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each seat, and Bluetooth audio. Larger models often feature a full-size restroom. Optional upgrades can include leather upholstery, tray tables, and custom branding or wraps. Specific amenities vary by vehicle, so ask your reservation specialist about exact features.

Yes, every charter bus in Franklin comes with plenty of luggage space for your group’s belongings. Full-size motorcoaches have large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold suitcases, equipment cases, or bulky items—perfect for airport transfers, sports teams with gear, or multi-day trips. Inside the bus, there are overhead parcel racks above the seats for smaller bags, backpacks, or personal items. As a general rule, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase for the baggage bay and one carry-on item for the overhead compartment. If your group has extra luggage—like musical instruments, trade show displays, or athletic equipment—let us know when you book so we can arrange a larger vehicle or additional storage space.

If you require an ADA-accessible coach, please mention this when requesting your quote so we can match you with a properly equipped vehicle.

It’s best to book your Franklin charter bus as early as possible—ideally at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy season. Spring and fall are peak times for school trips, weddings, and corporate events, so availability can be limited. Large events like Pilgrimage Music Festival, Main Street Festival, or homecoming games also create high demand. If you need multiple buses, a specialty vehicle (like an ADA-accessible coach), or have a complex itinerary, booking early ensures you get the exact vehicle and schedule you want. Last-minute rentals are possible, but choices may be limited and rates can be higher.

Yes, we require a deposit to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically due at the time of booking and can be paid by credit card, ACH transfer, or company check. The remaining balance is usually due 30 days before the date of your trip. For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, full payment may be required upfront. Our team will provide a clear payment schedule and send reminders as your trip date approaches.

Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any tolls incurred along the route. Additional expenses such as parking fees, lodging for the driver on overnight trips, and gratuity are not included in the base quote. For example, parking passes at Nissan Stadium and Bridgestone Arena can range from $30 to $100 depending on the event. Our team will outline all anticipated costs upfront so there are no surprises on the day of your trip.
