charter bus restroom

Onboard Restrooms

Long drives and heavy traffic are no problem when you have a restroom right on board your bus. Full-size, 56-passenger buses come equipped with an onboard lavatory located at the rear of the cabin, so passengers can use the facilities without having to ask the driver to make an unscheduled stop. Whether you’re stuck in I-26 traffic heading into downtown Charleston or making a nonstop trip up to Myrtle Beach, having access to a restroom means fewer delays and a more comfortable ride for everyone. The restroom is compact but functional, with a toilet, sink, and running water—perfect for quick use between major stops.

Interior of a charter bus with flat-screen TVs

Onboard TVs

Keep your group entertained on long rides with multiple flat-screen TVs installed throughout the cabin. These monitors are perfect for playing movies, showing training videos, or even displaying a welcome message for your passengers. Each TV can be synced to a central DVD/Blu-ray player or connected to other media devices, giving you full control over what’s shown during the trip. For example, youth groups heading to a retreat outside Charleston can watch inspirational films, while corporate teams traveling to a conference can review presentation materials en route. The screens are large enough to be seen clearly from any seat, ensuring everyone stays engaged and entertained until you reach your destination.

Power outlets on a bus

Power Outlets

Every row of seats on a 56-passenger bus comes with access to power outlets and USB ports, so passengers can keep their devices charged throughout the trip. This feature is especially useful for school groups needing to power tablets, business travelers working on laptops, or anyone wanting to charge a smartphone before arriving downtown. No more fighting over limited plugs—there are enough connections to go around. Just bring your charging cable, plug in, and stay powered up whether you’re heading across town or out of state.

Air vents on a charter bus

Climate Control with Personal Air Vents

Beat the South Carolina heat with powerful air conditioning that keeps the entire cabin cool and comfortable. Charleston summers can be brutal, but you won’t feel it inside this bus. The climate control system quickly cools down the interior and maintains a consistent temperature even during the hottest months. Individual air vents above each seat allow passengers to direct airflow where they want it, providing personalized comfort for everyone. When winter rolls around, the same system provides plenty of heat to keep things warm. No matter the season, you’ll travel in comfort from start to finish.

Leather seats on a Charter bus

Leather Seating

Give your passengers a first-class experience with plush, leather-trimmed seats that look as good as they feel. The seats on a 56-passenger bus are wide, well-padded, and contoured for ergonomic support during long rides. High backs provide ample head and neck support, while adjustable armrests add to the overall comfort. Most seats also recline, allowing passengers to lean back and relax or even catch some sleep on overnight trips. The upholstery is durable and easy to clean, standing up to heavy use while maintaining a polished appearance. Whether you’re transporting wedding guests, corporate clients, or student athletes, everyone will appreciate the upgraded seating.

Storage space on a charter bus

Overhead & Undercarriage Storage

Storage space is never an issue on a 56-passenger bus thanks to both overhead compartments and large undercarriage bays. Inside the cabin, overhead bins run the length of the aisle, providing convenient storage for backpacks, purses, jackets, and other small items. For larger baggage, the exterior luggage bays offer ample room for suitcases, coolers, sports equipment, or musical instruments. These undercarriage compartments are easily accessible from outside the bus and can accommodate even bulky items like folding tables or display materials. Groups traveling to the airport will have no trouble stowing all their luggage, while teams and bands can bring along all the gear they need. Keeping bags stored securely off the floor helps maintain clear aisles and a clutter-free environment inside the bus.
