Cleveland Coach Bus Service offers one of the largest and newest fleets in Ohio, so you’ll always find the perfect vehicle for your group.

Several variables influence your Cleveland bus rental quote: vehicle size and type (minibus, party bus, coach, or sprinter van), trip length (hours or days), total mileage, number of stops, and whether your itinerary requires overnight travel outside the city. Peak seasons—such as spring break, graduation weekends at Case Western Reserve University, or major downtown festivals—can raise rates due to higher demand. Custom amenity requests (like PA systems for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame tours or extra luggage space for Hopkins Airport transfers) may also affect pricing. The best way to lock in a low rate is to book at least three to six months in advance and provide detailed information about your route, schedule, and passenger count.

Our fleet includes vehicles with a wide range of amenities to keep your group comfortable and entertained. Full-size charter buses feature reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, free WiFi, power outlets at every seat, USB charging ports, and overhead parcel racks for carry-on bags. Most coaches have multiple flat-screen TVs with DVD players, PA systems for tour guides, and large underfloor luggage bays for suitcases or equipment cases. Minibuses offer similar features in a smaller package, while party buses add wraparound leather seating, hardwood dance floors, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound systems, and coolers for refreshments. Sprinter vans are great for quick hops between downtown hotels and Playhouse Square theaters, with plush seating and optional WiFi. If you need something specific—like a workstation table, extra monitors for corporate presentations, or ADA wheelchair lifts—just ask when you book.
We provide transportation for every type of event and group imaginable. Sports fans book coaches to FirstEnergy Stadium for Browns games, Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse for Cavaliers basketball, or Progressive Field for Guardians baseball. Wedding parties use minibuses to shuttle guests between ceremony sites in University Circle and reception venues in Tremont or Ohio City. Corporate clients arrange commuter shuttles from suburban office parks in Beachwood or Westlake to downtown headquarters, or charter executive coaches for conferences at the Huntington Convention Center. Schools and universities rely on us for field trips to the Great Lakes Science Center, campus tours of Cleveland State, or band competitions across Cuyahoga County. We also handle private airport transfers, bachelor/bachelorette parties, church retreats, casino runs to JACK Cleveland, and long-distance trips to Columbus, Cincinnati, or Chicago.
Cleveland has several designated areas for charter bus parking, loading, and unloading. Downtown, buses can drop off passengers near Public Square, East 4th Street, or outside major attractions like the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (on Erieside Avenue) and Great Lakes Science Center. For sporting events, use the dedicated bus zones at FirstEnergy Stadium, Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, or Progressive Field—advance coordination with venue staff is recommended. Long-term parking options include municipal lots near Burke Lakefront Airport, South Marginal Road, or the Municipal Parking Lot east of downtown. University Circle institutions (like the Cleveland Museum of Art or Severance Hall) have specific bus bays for group tours. Always check with your destination ahead of time for the latest rules, permit requirements, and street closure updates, especially during large festivals or parades.
Your quote covers the cost of the bus, standard amenities (WiFi, power outlets, climate control, restrooms on larger vehicles), and all mileage/hours specified in your itinerary. Tolls and parking fees are not included and are the responsibility of the renter. If you have special requests—such as multiple pickup points in Shaker Heights and Lakewood, extra luggage space for band equipment, or ADA-accessible features—let us know so we can include them in your quote. There are never any hidden charges or surprise add-ons. You’ll receive a written contract outlining all terms before you pay.
Absolutely! We offer both one-way and round-trip rentals to fit your schedule. Common one-way routes include airport transfers from Hopkins International to downtown hotels, cruise ship drop-offs at Dock 32, or late-night returns after concerts at Blossom Music Center. If you need to send a group to Columbus, Toledo, Pittsburgh, or Detroit without an immediate return, we’ll customize a package that meets your needs. Just provide the exact pickup and drop-off addresses when you request a quote.
Yes, we have party buses in Cleveland for groups of 10 to 50 passengers. These vehicles are perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, prom nights, or bar crawls through The Flats and West 25th Street. Features include wraparound leather seating, hardwood floors, color-changing LED lighting, multiple flat-screen TVs, powerful sound systems with Bluetooth connectivity, and coolers for drinks. Larger models may have built-in bars, dance poles, and tinted windows for privacy. You can play your own music playlists, watch videos, and socialize while cruising between destinations. Popular routes include hitting multiple clubs downtown, tailgating before a Guardians game, or taking the party on the road to Put-in-Bay or Geneva-on-the-Lake.
We offer ADA-accessible buses equipped with lifts or ramps, wider aisles, and securement areas for riders using mobility devices. If you require an accessible vehicle, please specify this when booking so we can match you with a suitable option. These buses also feature priority seating near the front, grab handles, and accessible restrooms on larger models. We regularly work with schools, senior centers, and disability advocacy groups across Northeast Ohio to provide reliable transportation for all passengers. Let us know about any specific accommodations needed, such as assistance boarding or extra space for service animals.
It’s best to book your bus as early as possible, especially if your trip falls during peak season (spring/summer), major holidays, or coincides with large events like the NFL Draft, St. Patrick’s Day Parade, or a sold-out concert at FirstEnergy Stadium. For most itineraries, reserving three to six months ahead gives you the widest selection of vehicles and the lowest rates. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be more expensive and limited to whatever is still available. If you’re planning a wedding, school field trip, or corporate outing, lock in your transportation as soon as your date and headcount are confirmed.
