We also offer 10- to 50-passenger party buses from Krystal, Grech Motors, and Executive Coach Builders, sprinter vans, and classic yellow school buses.

The main factors that affect your bus rental price are the size and type of vehicle you choose, the distance and duration of your trip, and the time of year you’re traveling. Larger buses with more amenities cost more than smaller, no-frills models. Longer trips that cover more miles or require an overnight stay outside the Gulfport-Biloxi area will also increase your quote. Peak season for Gulfport is spring and summer, especially during Cruisin’ The Coast in October or major concerts at Jones Park, so expect higher rates if you’re traveling then. Last-minute bookings may be more expensive than reservations made several months in advance.

Charter bus parking is available at several locations around Gulfport, including Jones Park, the Mississippi Aquarium, and Island View Casino Resort. For beach access, there are designated bus drop-off zones along Highway 90 near the Gulfport Harbor and public piers. Downtown areas may have limited street parking, so it’s best to arrange loading and unloading at specific points, then move the bus to a larger lot if needed. Always check with your destination in advance for the latest parking regulations, especially during large events or festivals when space fills up quickly.

Your quote covers the use of the bus for the duration of your trip, fuel, standard amenities (WiFi, A/C, TV monitors), and tolls. Optional upgrades like extra luggage trailers, premium entertainment packages, or multiple pickup points can be added for an additional fee. Parking permits and entrance fees for certain venues (like state parks or private event spaces) are not included and should be arranged separately by your group. If you have specific needs—such as ADA-accessible lifts or onboard restrooms—please mention them when requesting your quote so we can accommodate you.

Popular routes include Gulfport to New Orleans (about 80 miles), Mobile (60 miles), Hattiesburg (70 miles), and Jackson (160 miles).
