Our Ocala fleet offers a wide range of amenities to keep passengers comfortable and entertained on the road. Standard features on most vehicles include reclining seats, climate control, onboard Wi-Fi, power outlets or USB ports at each seat, and a Bluetooth-enabled sound system. Larger buses (40+ seats) often come with flat-screen monitors, DVD players, and a PA system for announcements. Many of our full-size coaches have a clean, comfortable restroom at the rear of the bus.

If you need something specific—like leather upholstery, extra luggage space, or ADA accessibility—just ask our team when you request a quote.

Yes, most full-size charter buses (40+ seats) come with a clean, comfortable restroom located at the rear of the vehicle. The restroom is typically equipped with a toilet, hand sanitizer, and a small sink. While it’s convenient for passengers, we recommend using it for emergencies only, as it’s smaller than a standard restroom. For longer trips, your driver can schedule regular stops at facilities with larger restrooms. Smaller minibuses (18–35 seats) usually do not have a restroom onboard, so be sure to ask when booking if this is important for your group.

Yes, most of our modern charter buses and minibuses are equipped with power outlets and/or USB ports at each seat. This allows passengers to charge phones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices while on the road. Older vehicles may have fewer outlets, so if access to power is important for your trip, please mention this when requesting a quote. We can ensure you’re assigned a vehicle with the necessary amenities.

Yes, onboard Wi-Fi is available on nearly all of our charter buses and minibuses. The wireless internet connection is suitable for browsing the web, checking email, and using social media. Bandwidth may be limited for streaming video or participating in video calls, especially in rural areas, but it’s generally reliable for most online activities. If your group requires a strong Wi-Fi connection for work or entertainment, please let us know when booking so we can assign a vehicle with the best available equipment.

Yes, our full-size charter buses have ample luggage space with large undercarriage bays that can accommodate suitcases, equipment bags, and other bulky items. There are also overhead storage compartments inside the cabin for smaller bags and personal belongings. Minibuses have limited luggage space, typically with only interior storage or a small rear compartment. If your group will be traveling with a lot of luggage or oversized items, please mention this when requesting a quote so we can recommend an appropriately sized vehicle.

Full-size Ocala charter buses hold up to 56 passengers. Minibuses seat 18, 20, or 25 passengers. We can run multiple vehicles for larger groups.

In downtown Ocala, you can stage and load a charter bus on SE Osceola Ave near the Reilly Arts Center or along SW Broadway St by the Marion Theatre, using curbside zones away from intersections. For large events at the World Equestrian Center, buses should use the designated oversized vehicle lots off NW 80th Ave, following WEC staff directions for drop-off and parking. At the College of Central Florida, group loading is best done in Lot 8 or Lot 10 on the west side of campus, where there’s room to maneuver and wait. If you need to stage near AdventHealth Ocala, use the main hospital loop on SW 1st Ave for quick patient transfers but plan to park long-term on adjacent side streets or in surface lots south of the facility. For school pickups, most Marion County Public Schools will direct buses to the rear loop or staff lot on campus. Always confirm staging details with your destination ahead of arrival, as rules can vary and some locations require advance notice for oversized vehicles.

It’s best to book your Ocala charter bus rental as early as possible—ideally 2–6 months in advance—to secure the best rates and ensure vehicle availability. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sporting events, so buses can book up quickly during these times. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer fewer vehicle options. If you’re planning a large event or multi-day trip, giving even more notice is recommended.
