Things to Know Before You Charter a Tour Bus

Traveling in a luxurious tour bus is a unique experience and an ideal solution for anyone traveling over the road for extended periods. Since these buses are specially equipped to provide multi-day comfort on long journeys, most companies that rent them do so on long-term contracts. Many companies will charter or rent for a day.

Here are some things to keep in mind before you book an entertainer coach for your next trip:

• Accommodations and features will differ significantly, make sure to see the coach before signing a contract.
• Often includes sleeping accommodations with either one bed for a single entertainer or a configuration of up to 8 or more bunks.
• Always ask for insurance information before booking.
• If you need other parties listed as additionally insured, tell the company before signing a contract.

Though we work hard to keep our listings updated, we encourage you to check the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Safer System for company standing before booking with any operator. 

Common Amenities on a Tour Bus

Because tour buses are designed to serve as your home out on the road, these vehicles are packed to the brim with amenities. When you're traveling for days at a time and spending long periods on your bus, you want every luxury you can get to make the journey more comfortable.

Most tour buses feature bunks or beds where you can relax or catch some sleep overnight and lounge areas where you can hang out during the day. While the details for each bus will vary, you can expect the following amenities from a tour bus charter:

• Restrooms   | Always
• AC   | Always
• WiFi   | Almost Always
• Screens/DVD   | Almost Always
• PA Systems   | Often
• In-Seat Power Outlets   | Almost Always
• Airline Grade Entertainment   | Almost Always
• Wheelchair Accessible   | Rare

We encourage you to ask your operators questions and request photos of your bus so you know you're getting what you need to make your trip a success.

Common Activities That Use Tour Buses

When you think about luxury tour buses, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the rock stars who tour the country putting on spectacular shows. Still, they aren't the only ones traveling in these buses. Entertainer coach buses provide comfortable, luxurious transportation and accommodations for a wide range of performers, political figures and everyday folks who want an experience like no other.

From road trips to tours and everything in between, tour buses provide an excellent home away from home for any group, including:

Bands and musicians

Political Campaigns

Theatre groups, comedians and entertainers, executive/corporate, visiting dignitary or executive groups, wedding party transportation, wedding venue shuttle, business commuter shuttle, college and professional sports, tailgate parties, traveling/hosting sporting events, nascar/racing events, benefits of renting an entertainer coach bus.

Renting a tour bus for a long trip provides you the ultimate convenience. Your bus should have almost everything you need onboard, so you can travel without searching for hotel rooms or places to stop for food and bathroom breaks. 

As with any rental, your entertainer coach will be assigned an experienced driver who will ensure you arrive at each destination safely. You can sit back and relax, and your driver will be responsible for navigation, traffic and parking. This driver gives you the opportunity to work on your performance, socialize or take a nap so that you arrive fresh and ready to shine.

Tour buses are an environmentally friendly alternative to other modes of travel, helping to minimize the impact of your tour by limiting the number of vehicles or plane trips required to get you where you're going. Most tour buses are relatively fuel-efficient and house an entire band along with some crew members, allowing you to carpool and reduce the number of vehicles on the road.

What is the Cost of a Tour Bus Rental?

Comparing costs of tour bus companies can be overwhelming if you’re not familiar with how they’re priced. Once your band is ready for an upgrade, do a little homework upfront to know if you’re getting a good deal.

Exact rates vary by city, but you can expect to pay between $1,900 and $2,500 per day for an entertainer coach. If the company charges per mile, you’ll likely pay somewhere between $7.00 and $8.50 per mile .

The 4 Biggest Factors That Influence the Cost

Breaking the price down gives you a better estimate of how much to budget for trip. Factors that will affect your cost include:

1. How much fuel will your tour bus use?

As you tour from Chicago to Los Angeles to Atlanta and everywhere in between, the cost of gas is going to be a major part of your transportation budget. You can calculate your estimated fuel cost using this formula:

Most charter bus companies will include fuel cost in the price, but it’s helpful to calculate this cost ahead of time to give you an idea of what to expect. To complete this formula, use Google Maps to tally the total mileage, ask the company to provide you with their entertainer buses’ average MPG, and use the current national average for gas prices per gallon.

“One of the best pieces of advice I can give someone looking to rent a tour bus is to make sure they’re renting from a company in the location they’re starting from,” says Mike Hines, band leader and guitarist for Corey Smith . He says fuel and mileage expenses can be greater if you don’t rent from a company in your hometown.

2. How much will it cost for the tour bus driver’s labor, hotels, and gratuity?

Since you’re going to essentially live in an enormous motor coach during your tour, a professional driver is vital to your band members’ safety.

“An experienced, dependable and safer driver is going to cost more than maybe somebody who isn’t as experienced,” says singer and song-writer Rudy Vaughn , winner of Hark Rock’s 2009 Ambassadors of Rock. “I would rather have the safe driver!”

“Professional drivers will have limitations to the amount of miles or hours they are able to drive at a time without needing to be paid overtime,” Vaughn explains. “This is called overdrive, and can start anywhere from 450 miles to 650 miles. The amount varies among bus companies, but the cost can add up quickly for longer tours.”

Legally, charter bus drivers can only drive ten consecutive hours before they are required to take an eight-hour break, according to the American Bus Association . If your destination will take longer than a 10-hour drive, you’ll need to divide your trip into multiple days. This can increase total costs if your bus company charges by the day.

“Along with the cost of your driver, you’ll pay for his or her hotel rooms,” says Kevin Spencer , guitarist and lead singer of Electric Avenue . “Remember to get them at least a 3-star hotel room. Saving $40 on a hotel room isn’t something you would appreciate your clients doing to you. Treat the driver as a family member, he’s there to keep you safe.”

Your driver is one of your biggest allies during the tour. Budget for a hotel that will make him or her feel at ease, not the cheapest motel you can find.

While it’s generally not required, gratuity is always appreciated and is a great way to thank a bus driver. Consider a 5-10% tip for a job well done.

3. Will you need a trailer for extra storage?

How do you know if you’ll have enough room to store your equipment on the tour bus? Most modern buses have a hollow bay underneath that spans the width of the bus to store items.

Spencer says his band can fit a full drum kit, a small bass amp, two combo amps, a small keyboard rig and stand, guitars, bass, keyboard, and a box of merchandise under the bus. They haul everything else in a trailer attached to the bus.

If you think you’ll need extra space, you can rent a trailer to haul on the back of the bus. These can be rented for an additional $50-100 per day, on average.

“Don’t forget about your merchandise when estimating how much storage room you’ll need,” Mike Hines advises. “You may need to bring weeks worth of merchandise on the road with you, and that can take up a significant amount of space.”

4. How much will it cost to park the tour bus?

One of the most overlooked aspects of renting a tour bus is parking logistics. The last thing you want to worry about when on a tight schedule is, “Where in the world are we going to park this thing?!” Determine if there will be parking fees before you begin your trip.

Some venues have designated bus parking on the premises while others in more populated areas require an off-site parking fee. In New York City , for example, bus parking rates are $20/hour while rates in Baltimore  are $25 for 12 hours . Call venues ahead of time to see if they have designated parking spaces for your bus and if any additional charges will apply.

Necessity or Nice-to-Have?

Before you and your bandmates cash in on a real tour bus experience, balance your checkbook and take a hard look at your finances. With all of the other costs of touring , does chartering a bus make sense for your band?

“Buses can cost thousands of dollars per day, and that’s just one more bill you have to pay,” Hines says. “The luxury of the bus might sound attractive, but ask yourself if you’re truly ready.”

It’s best for musicians to budget for a tour bus when they are agreeing on the price of the gig, Rudy Vaughn says. Since transportation is such a massive part of the touring budget, sometimes half of the gross income of the show, it’s imperative to know those costs before agreeing upon a price.

“One of the biggest reasons why we book tour buses is because of our production gear,” Vaughn continues. “We have discovered that doing our own production has added benefits, so we have a trailer that is full of stuff. Musicians should always weigh out all of the factors. Is it better to fly to a location and rent production and vehicles to get around? The amount of people will vastly change these types of factors…and it will be something to work out case by case.”

Weighing the Cost of a Tour Bus Rental

When you charter a tour bus for your band, you’re not just paying for transportation.

“It’s easy to under-appreciate the amount of work it takes to keep a 50-foot “building on wheels” driving down the highway without problems,” Vaughn says. “The cost of even one repair, or even a single tire replacement can be in the thousands of dollars. So the price of renting a tour bus needs to be high enough for the owner to be able to absorb the rigors of such a vehicle.”

“You’re hiring someone to manage your safety,” Kevin Spencer says. “Paying a higher price for the right company is worth it because they are ultimately responsible for getting you to and from shows safely and efficiently. The bus is your home while you’re on the road, so it’s important to build a solid relationship with your bus rental company for peace of mind.”

A higher price point doesn’t necessarily result in a better tour bus, but companies with an excellent reputation may charge more to ensure a high standard of service. Ask around, read reviews thoroughly, and ask a lot of questions before choosing a bus company to keep your tour running smoothly.

The Luxury, Privacy and Convenience You Need When You Take Your Show on the Road

You're putting together a tour—getting ready to do what you really love and share it with other people. But the thought of checking into and out of hotels, of packing and unpacking, of days, weeks or even months of road food puts a real damper on your excitement. Relax—there's a better way to travel, where you have all the luxury, comfort and privacy of a hotel room, as well as your own kitchen, but you'll avoid all the hassle—in a star coach from US Coachways . This elegant "suite on wheels" lets you feel more at home, with your favorite things all around you. There's a full galley kitchen, so you'll have total control of nutrition and dietary needs. With satellite television and a high-end sound system, you'll never be at a loss for entertainment, either.

The star coach also offers beds and separate bathroom facilities for another six people, so you can travel with your entourage. It's also a great option for a luxury family vacation. Mom and dad can get a little peace and quiet in the master suite while the kids have a great time on the rest of the bus. Best of all, you'll never have to get behind the wheel. Take it easy or have family fun while someone else does all the driving.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Star Coach

• What amenities come with a star coach?
• The star coach is unlike any other charter bus you've ever seen. We've removed all the seating you'd find on a standard charter bus and created a luxury hotel suite on wheels. On the star coach, there's a separate master bedroom with a queen-sized bed. The master suite also comes with a private bathroom, equipped with a walk-in shower. You'll have mobile satellite TV, Wifi and a state-of-the-art sound system. There's a full galley kitchen on board, so you'll be able to have complete control over all your dietary needs. Enjoy leather seats, tile floors and marble counters as well.
• Does the star coach have room for attendants or support staff?
• Yes. You'll have separate sleeping and bathroom accommodations for up to six people, making the star coach ideal for a small touring act or even a family (mom and dad get the master bedroom, though!).
• Is there a limit to the amount of time the star coach can be on the road between engagements or venues?
• Yes. Federal and state regulations require that drivers take certain minimum breaks and also put restrictions on the number of hours a driver can be on the road over a specific period of time. If your schedule requires that you be on the road more than regulations allow, you may have to pay for a second driver to travel with you.

• How much does it cost to rent a star coach?
• As with any charter bus, the cost of a star coach will vary, based on a number of variables:
• Where and what time of year you'll be on the road —The overall cost of a charter bus depends, to some extent, on supply and demand. Because the demand for a charter bus tends to be greater in the winter in the southern part of the United States, you may pay more for a star coach in Florida in January than in August. The opposite typically holds true in the northern climates—a charter bus will likely cost you more in June in Boston than in February.

There's also more demand for charter buses on the weekends than during the week, so it usually costs more to rent Friday through Sunday than Monday through Thursday.

• Where you'll board the bus —The price for a charter bus is customarily a bit higher in an urban or metropolitan area than in the suburbs or a rural setting.
• Where you'll leave the bus —As a general rule, most charter buses depart and return to the same location. You don't have to do that, but you may pay more if you don't.
• The amenities on the bus —With the star coach, most of the features are the same from bus to bus. However, if there are additional amenities that you require, you may pay extra for them.
• For a free estimate of the cost to rent a star coach, visit our online Cost Calculator .
• Does US Coachways allow the consumption of alcohol on a star coach?
• Yes. The consumption of alcoholic beverages is allowed, but only with prior permission from US Coachways. You must comply with all state and local regulations in any location in which you travel. Your driver will also have absolute discretion and authority to suspend or terminate alcohol privileges at any time for any reason.

A US Coachways Charter Bus—Ideal for Any Type of Travel

The star coach is the perfect setup for a touring artist, with a master bedroom, queen-sized bed, full bath and walk-in shower. It also has separate sleeping and lavatory accommodations for up to six additional people, so you can bring along your retinue, or even use it for family travel.

FOUNDED IN 1990...

Our objective and business model has always been very simple and straight forward:

DO BUSINESS WITH INTEGRITY...

Today, our fleet of nearly sixty coaches has been built and tailored to help meet the budget of most every touring band...

We offer both Prevost and MCI Entertainer Coaches as well as Executive Limo Styled Coaches...

Check out this video to give you an up close and personal look at who we are...

STAR COACHES: THE PIONEER OF THE EXECUTIVE LIMO COACH...

After meeting with numerous coach builders who turned him down, Danny met with Jerry Calhoun, the Godfather of the rock & roll bus industry.

The meeting was brief and to the point.  Jerry asked Danny to write down references and then told him to go to lunch...

When Danny returned from lunch Jerry said "Go pick out a bus, I believe in you!"

Since 1990 and millions of dollars later, the relationship between Danny Hamilton and Jerry Calhoun has been very special.

FEATURED ON CELEBRITY MOTOR HOMES

14 BUNKER COACHES

Many years ago, and thanks to our friend George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, we made a decision to convert some of our coaches from 12 bunkers to 14 bunkers...

This move has opened the door to helping bands save money by "sharing a bus" with an opening act, or carrying a full crew and keeping the cost involved to only one bus...

With a year round rate starting at $850 / day, our 2013 to 2016 model 14 bunker coaches can really make a difference to bands and touring theatrical shows that are faced with tight budgetary restraints...

OUR DRIVERS GIVE BACK…

"GUYS, FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO OUR CLIENTS."

We knew that the economy was going to tank. We didn't know when, or how bad things would get, we just knew the bubble was going to burst.

Over the course of two weeks, we held countless phone calls with all of our drivers discussing their ideas on "how to make a difference".

They came up with many great ideas. Finally, our drivers decided that the best way to give back and make a difference was to change their overdrive structure IN FAVOR of the client.

Industry standard has always been, and still is, for a driver to charge an overdrive (equal to a days pay) after driving 450 miles.

Our drivers voluntarily and collectively, decide to break that mold.

Their decision was to NOT charge a client an overdrive at 450 miles, but rather at 501 miles.

This was a HUGE move on their part. Unheard of in the industry. They were mocked and ridiculed by their esteemed colleagues in the industry.

BUT... They made a difference.

So, ever since 2005, our great drivers have made a significant difference to our clients every day with their overdrive structure, which starts at 501 miles, not at 450 miles like our competition!

Our drivers WILL save you money on your next tour!

THE 500,000 MILE CLUB

We are very proud of our drivers, especially those who have proven their dedication and commitment to Star Coaches over their many years of service...  And with years of service, comes miles driven...  Many miles driven!

500,000 miles is like driving across country over 200 times!  Most people NEVER drive across the United States!

We'd like to recognize those drivers who have logged over 500,000 miles with Star Coaches...

More often than not, when clients compare a Star Coaches proposal to our competitor's proposals, our proposal will "appear" to be more expensive.

Why? Because it is thorough...

It's NOT designed to be "pretty"...   it's designed to be accurate.   Actually, it is designed for you to end your tour BELOW the projected budget.

Don takes the time to prepare every single proposal for every single tour himself.

He suggests stop point cities on longer drives to keep a driver safe and legal.

While this level of thoroughness takes more time, it has been invaluable, especially for foreign clients that are not familiar with the geographical layout of the United States.

See for yourself what many consider to be the best, and most informative proposal in the industry, and then get ready to enjoy "coming in below budget" at the end of your tour.

EXTERIOR BUS WRAPS

TRAILER WEIGHT LIMITS…

Most of the time, this is not a problem, as most bands are staying within our 10,000 pound limit for GVWT (Gross Vehicle Weight, or a loaded trailer)...

By the way, for you Production Managers, our trailers weight about 4,500 pounds empty, leaving you about 5,500 pounds for the gear / merch...

Anyhow, a more frequent occurrence is that we find ourselves receiving a frantic call from our drivers at pick up stating that "this trailer is very heavy"...

So we instruct the driver to immediately weigh the full trailer, only to find that the GVWT is over 10,000 pounds... This becomes a new problem...

To battle this potential problem, we suggest making sure your packed load is less than 5,500 pounds, and if you must exceed that limit, act BEFORE the tour pick up...

Rent a box truck and a driver...

Star Coaches now has a small team of box truck drivers that can help solve the problem of a disaster at pick up...

If you can't get the gear to 5,500 pounds, let us know, and we will gladly assign one of our auxiliary drivers to your rented box truck from Hertz, Budget or UHaul...

Don't be THAT guy who is overweight at pick up...

• Request a bus with the right amenities. If you’re traveling a long distance, entertain your friends and family with onboard WiFi, TV monitors, DVD players, and restrooms. For Florida vacations in the middle of summer, your group will appreciate a bus with air conditioning. These are accommodations our reservation experts are happy to make for you!
• Know how much storage you’ll need. Whether you’re bringing luggage, shopping bags, purses, snacks, or other personal items, we can pair you with a bus with ample storage space.
