Charter Bus Rentals Jonesboro

A charter bus is a private, full-sized coach that can seat 40 to 56 passengers and is booked for exclusive use by your group. Unlike public transit, charter buses follow your custom itinerary and only pick up your passengers at locations you choose. Each bus has one door at the front, an onboard restroom at the rear, overhead luggage racks, and large undercarriage storage bays. The cabin layout includes forward-facing seats with armrests, headrests, and footrests, plus a center aisle wide enough for rolling carry-on bags. Charter buses are built for long-distance comfort and come equipped with strong air conditioning, reading lights, and high-backed seats.

Charter Bus Company Jonesboro offers one of the largest and newest fleets in Arkansas, including 56-passenger MCI J4500s, Prevost H3-45s, Van Hool CX45s, and Grech Motors GM40s; 35-passenger minibuses from Grech, Tiffany, Battisti, and LGE Coachworks; party buses (15–50 passengers) built on Freightliner, Ford F-650, or Ford E-450 chassis; executive sprinter vans (10–15 passengers) by Midwest Automotive Designs and Battisti Customs; and Blue Bird or Thomas Built school buses (up to 47 adults). We also provide ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts and custom layouts. If you need something specialized—like an entertainer coach with bunks or a mobile command center—we can source it through our extensive manufacturer relationships.

Charter bus rental prices in Jonesboro typically range from $145 to $550+ per hour, $1,520 to $5,000+ per day, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile depending on the vehicle type and trip details. Minibuses generally cost $150 to $450+ per hour or $1,520 to $3,465+ per day; party buses run $180 to $520+ per hour ($1,000 to $3,900+ per day); and sprinter vans average $160 to $450+ per hour. Rates are highest during peak seasons like spring break, graduation (May–June), and football season (September–November). Weekend weddings and game-day shuttles may incur premium pricing due to demand. For exact pricing, call our 24/7 reservations team with your passenger count, itinerary, and amenity requests.

The main factors affecting your quote are vehicle size (larger buses cost more), trip duration (multi-day itineraries add up), total mileage (longer distances increase rates), and time of year (peak seasons like ASU football or spring weddings are pricier). Additional amenities such as onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, or custom wraps may raise the price. Single-day local charters within Jonesboro are less expensive than out-of-state trips requiring overnight accommodations. Last-minute bookings—especially during events like Jonesboro BBQ Festival or NEA District Fair—can be subject to higher rates due to limited availability. Always provide exact headcounts and schedules for the most accurate estimate.

Designated loading zones in downtown Jonesboro include Main Street near the Forum Theatre, Church Street adjacent to Centennial Bank, and Union Street behind City Hall. At Arkansas State University, buses stage at the Convocation Center lot or along Olympic Drive by Centennial Bank Stadium. Major hotels like Embassy Suites and Hilton Garden Inn have dedicated pull-through areas for large vehicles. For events at Craighead Forest Park, use the south entrance parking loop. Retail pickups (Turtle Creek Mall) should coordinate with security for perimeter access. When stopping at restaurants or attractions, notify management in advance so they can reserve space away from regular customer traffic.
