No — Daviecoachbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving the Davie area, and the transportation itself is carried out by those independent operators. Think of it as the fastest way to see what is available for your trip, in one place, without making five separate phone calls.
You choose the bus. The independent company handles the ride.
When you search on your own, you call one company at a time, describe your trip over and over, and wait on callbacks that may not come. With Daviecoachbuscompany.com, you fill out one form — or make one call to 954-969-6630 — and get more options and different price points than any single operator can offer. You see vehicles and rates quickly, side by side, and companies across the network are competing for the booking.
That is a lot of time saved and a lot more to compare.
An independently owned transportation company serving the Davie area. Once you fill out a quote, you are taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a package, not a company off a list.
The transportation company assigned to the booking is confirmed to you after the reservation is complete.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this site — or call 954-969-6630 — with your trip details. You are taken straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independent operators serving the Davie area, and right there on their site you can see available vehicles, pricing, and photos, then book the bus you want online in minutes.
What you are choosing on that results page is a vehicle and a price — everything else is handled from there.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That is enough to get started. The more detail you add — your stops, your start and end times, any luggage or oversized gear, and the amenities your group needs — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the options you will find.
More detail in means a better match out.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form, you go straight to the search results page on the booking company's website and see pricing for your trip immediately. Nothing is held in a queue.
If you would rather talk through the details with someone first, call 954-969-6630 any time and a live agent will walk you through it.
The earlier the better for a popular date — and if you need a specific vehicle or you are moving a large group, earlier matters even more. That said, because Daviecoachbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Davie area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable. That is the real advantage of comparing a network: one company saying no does not end the search.
Submit the request or call 954-969-6630 even on short notice — it is always worth checking what is available.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time, which works well when the itinerary is flexible or the group is making multiple stops. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another.
A round trip brings them back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a planned route with several stops — a brewery crawl, a wedding shuttle loop, a sightseeing day. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like an overnight to Orlando or a weekend in Key West.
Which format fits depends on the trip itself. If you are planning something with several stops or an overnight, lay out the full itinerary with your request so it comes back priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Those are real planning ranges, not a single flat price — because the type of bus, the date, the distance, and the number of stops all move the number. The range is a starting point, not your price.
The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and get pricing in seconds. Or call 954-969-6630 — going through the trip with someone can turn up better packages and pricing than you would find searching on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance — roughly past the 100 to 200-mile mark, or heading well out of the Broward County area toward Orlando, Tampa, or Key West — may carry a per-mile charge instead.
A long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Which structure applies comes down to the actual itinerary. Submit the full trip details and the pricing that comes back will reflect the right format for your route.
The type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all move the number. In Davie, peak demand hits hardest during Broward County prom season in April and May, Florida Panthers home games at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise just 12 miles away, Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix weekend in May, and South Florida wedding season from October through April. Those dates tighten the whole market.
What you can actually do about it: Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, daytime prices lower than those same nights, booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity, and grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock. Book the busy dates early. For everything else, submit the trip and see what comes back.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule, its own stops — rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a standard full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. The group has the whole bus to itself for the duration of the trip.
On the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall coach body with high tinted windows running the length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the lower skirt. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, though some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics — so the coach that shows up will not always look the same from one booking to the next. Inside, seats run in pairs on either side of a center aisle, all facing forward.
The fabric may be cloth or leather depending on the make and model — the MCI J4500 and Van Hool CX45, for example, are common full-size coaches you might recognize, both finished with high-back seating and overhead racks running the full length of the cabin. A restroom sits toward the rear. The overall feel is closer to a comfortable regional aircraft cabin than a city bus.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system with wireless microphone, and TV monitors. Features vary by make, model, and operator and are confirmed during booking, so use "may include" as your working assumption rather than expecting every coach to carry every item. If there are specific amenities your group needs — WiFi, power at every seat, an onboard restroom — note them with your trip details so the vehicles that come back are the ones that actually fit.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common build on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60; the Van Hool CX45 is the same, 56 standard and up to 60; the Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44.
What changes the count on the same coach: extra legroom configurations and wheelchair positions each take seats out, so a coach with an accessibility lift or premium spacing may seat fewer than its base configuration. Because Daviecoachbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date. Submit the trip or call 954-969-6630 if the group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — four seats across per row, all facing forward. The row count drops on coaches configured with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, since those take the space of a standard row. Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly higher than the rear for a better forward view.
The basic picture is the same across most full-size coaches: 14 rows, paired seating, one aisle down the middle.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. If you are trying to picture that in a real space, it is roughly three cars parked end to end — which is the reason most people ask. Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and those work better in tighter venues or on routes where a full-size coach would have difficulty maneuvering.
The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle and the one most commonly available through the network.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design overhead clearances for 12 feet. If you are checking whether one fits somewhere — a parking structure, a venue entrance, an underpass — 12 feet is the number to measure against. For a real-world comparison, it is a little taller than a single story of a house.
Clearance concerns are worth flagging with your trip details when the route includes a garage or a covered drop-off area.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. One thing worth knowing: onboard WiFi is a piece of equipment a coach is built with, not something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator. It is also worth setting the right expectation — onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach.
Phones, messaging, and browsing work well. Fifty or sixty people running video calls or heavy uploads at once will push past what the connection is designed for. If WiFi matters for your group, note it with your trip details and the vehicles that come back will be the ones that have it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, located toward the rear of the coach. It is there so the group does not have to stop, and on a long run down to Key West or up to Orlando the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops built in. Whether a specific vehicle includes a restroom may vary, so if it matters for your group, note it with the trip details when you submit the request.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. In practice, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — which matters on a three-hour trip up to Orlando or a full day moving between venues.
If power at every seat is important for your group, note it with the trip details and the vehicles that come back will be the ones equipped for it.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin inside, and undercarriage baggage bays sit beneath the coach floor with access through doors along the lower skirt. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks.
Across a full 56-passenger load, that works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — which in practice is about one checked-size bag each below plus one small carry-on above. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear like instruments, sports equipment, or event supplies takes the space of several standard bags. If your group is traveling with oversized items — equipment for a team trip, gear for a multi-day event, or anything that does not fit in a standard suitcase — state it with the trip details so the right coach is matched to the group.
Charter Bus Service in Davie, Florida
Any group that needs to move together. Airport transfers to and from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Miami International Airport (MIA) are among the most common requests. Corporate travel and employee shuttles — between offices, to conferences at the Broward County Convention Center, and for recurring commuter routes — are a natural fit for a full-size coach or a minibus.
Weddings and private events use shuttle buses to move guests between hotel blocks and venues across Broward County. Concerts and sporting events — Panthers games at Amerant Bank Arena, Dolphins games at Hard Rock Stadium, shows at Hard Rock Live Hollywood — are exactly the trips where one bus beats a parking nightmare. School and church group trips, government and military moves, brewery and winery tours, prom, and long-distance travel to Orlando, Key West, Tampa, and beyond are all served through the network.
The network serves Davie and the entire surrounding region — Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, Weston, Cooper City, Miramar, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Sunrise, Lauderhill, and communities throughout Broward County and into Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties. Those are examples, not the full coverage area. If your pickup or destination is not listed, enter the full route in the quote form or call 954-969-6630 to check availability for that specific city or address.
Broward County prom season in April and May is the single busiest stretch of the year — Western High School, Cypress Bay, Cooper City, and South Plantation all schedule their dances during this window, and the whole local market tightens fast. NSU graduation in May at Rick Case Arena at the Don Taft University Center adds to the pressure. South Florida wedding season runs October through April, so Saturdays in that window book early.
Florida Panthers home games at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise run October through April and are just 12 miles from Davie. Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix in May and Miami Open tennis in March at Hard Rock Stadium pull enormous regional demand. Art Basel Miami Beach in early December and New Year's Eve on Las Olas and Hollywood Beach round out the calendar.
Book those dates well ahead. Short-notice requests are still worth submitting — the network is larger than any one operator's yard — but the popular dates go early.
Planning Your Davie, Florida Charter Bus Trip
Yes — all three airports serving the South Florida region. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) (100 Terminal Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315) is the closest, roughly 8 miles east of central Davie and about 15–25 minutes via I-595, depending on traffic. Miami International Airport (MIA) (2100 NW 42nd Ave, Miami, FL 33142) is approximately 28 miles south, roughly 35–55 minutes via Florida's Turnpike.
President Donald J. Trump International Airport (PBI) (1000 James L. Turnage Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33406) is about 45 miles north, roughly 45–60 minutes. For airport pickups, the coach meets the group outside the terminal at the spot that airport designates for buses and larger vehicles, following that airport's own ground transportation guidelines. Have your whole group together with all luggage before calling the bus forward — that keeps the pickup clean and on schedule.
Yes — all of them. Amerant Bank Arena (1 Panther Pkwy, Sunrise, FL 33323), home of the Florida Panthers (NHL), is just about 12 miles northwest of Davie — one of the closest major arenas in South Florida, roughly 20–25 minutes via I-595 or SR-84. Hard Rock Stadium (347 Don Shula Drive, Miami Gardens, FL 33056) hosts the Miami Dolphins, the Miami Open, Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, and seven FIFA World Cup 2026 matches — about 22 miles south, roughly 30–45 minutes via Florida's Turnpike.
Kaseya Center (601 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132) hosts the Miami Heat, roughly 28 miles southeast. Inter Miami CF currently plays at Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park.

If you are running a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a convention center — morning runs in, afternoon runs back — lay out the full schedule with your request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. Signature Grand (6900 State Road 84, Davie, FL 33317) sits right on SR-84 in Davie itself, one of Broward County's largest wedding and banquet venues with capacity for up to 1,000 guests. Flamingo Gardens (3750 S Flamingo Rd, Davie, FL 33330), also in Davie, is a botanical garden and wildlife sanctuary that doubles as one of the most distinctive tropical wedding settings in the county.
For waterfront celebrations, Lago Mar Resort & Club (1700 S Ocean Ln, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316) is about 15 miles east, and Pier Sixty-Six Hotel & Marina (2301 SE 17th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316) is another 13 miles out. Western Davie also has a cluster of private ranch-style venues along the Stirling Road and Griffin Road corridors that fit the town's equestrian character perfectly. The most common wedding shuttle setup is a loop between a hotel block and the venue — give the exact venue address with the request and the right vehicle gets matched to the route.
Yes — all of them. Nova Southeastern University (NSU) is the largest private research university in Florida and is headquartered right here in Davie. Broward College — South Campus (7200 Pines Blvd, Pembroke Pines, FL 33024) is about 6 miles south.
Florida Atlantic University (FAU) (777 Glades Rd, Boca Raton, FL 33431) is approximately 25 miles north. For Broward County Public Schools, Western High School (1200 SW 136th Ave, Davie, FL 33325), Cooper City High School (9401 Stirling Rd, Cooper City, FL 33328), and Cypress Bay High School (18600 Vista Park Blvd, Weston, FL 33332) are all within a few miles. Field trips and team travel are typically pickups at the school or campus, and campuses have designated bus loading zones.
Include the exact headcount, any chaperone count, and any accessibility needs with the request so the right vehicle comes back.
Yes — all of them. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood is about 8 miles southeast of Davie — roughly 15–20 minutes — and is one of the largest casino and entertainment complexes in the Southeast, with Hard Rock Live, multiple bars, and restaurants all on one property. Funky Buddha Brewery (1201 NE 38th St, Oakland Park, FL 33334) is about 14 miles northeast, roughly 20–25 minutes.

For groups making a loop between several stops, the timing is set by how long the group stays at each one. List the stops and how long you plan at each when you submit the request, and the hours come back right.
Yes. Orlando — Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, the convention center — is approximately 200 miles north of Davie, roughly 3 to 3.5 hours up Florida's Turnpike, and is one of the most common long-distance group trips from Broward County. Key West is about 165 miles south, roughly 3 to 3.5 hours down US-1 through the Keys.
Tampa and St. Petersburg are approximately 280 miles northwest, roughly 3.5 to 4.5 hours via I-75 or the Turnpike. Jacksonville is about 330 miles north, roughly 4.5 to 5 hours via I-95. Beyond Florida, Savannah, Georgia is approximately 500 miles north and Atlanta approximately 660 miles, in the 7 to 9-hour range.
A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day package rather than by the hour. If the trip runs overnight, lay out the full itinerary — departure, stops, overnight location, return — with the request so it comes back priced and structured correctly.
