Deerfield Beach Minibus Company is a leading provider of group transportation services in Deerfield Beach and throughout Broward County. Since 2011, we’ve served thousands of groups with reliable service and modern vehicles. We can accommodate any itinerary, from corporate shuttles between Pompano Beach and Boca Raton to school field trips at Quiet Waters Park or wedding guest transport along Ocean Drive. Our fleet includes minibuses, full-size charter buses, party buses, sprinter vans, and entertainer coaches—all equipped with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats.
We proudly serve every type of group across South Florida! Corporate teams use our Deerfield Beach buses for daily commuter shuttles, offsite meetings, and airport transfers to FLL or MIA. Schools book us for field trips to the Deerfield Beach Arboretum or science outings at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton. Sports teams rely on us for away games against Stoneman Douglas High or tournaments in Miami-Dade. Wedding planners trust us with guest shuttles to venues like Royal Fiesta Event Center and The Addison. We also help religious organizations, government agencies, tour operators, and large families get around safely and comfortably.
A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed for long-distance travel and carrying big groups of people—typically anywhere from 40 to 56 passengers. These are the biggest vehicles in our fleet and come loaded with premium features like onboard restrooms, undercarriage luggage bays, individual reading lights, reclining seats, and advanced climate control. Charter buses are great for moving sports teams, corporate groups, or large wedding parties between cities or states. They’re perfect for trips down I-95 to Miami’s cruise terminals, Orlando theme parks, or even out-of-state destinations like Atlanta or New Orleans.
A minibus is a smaller, more agile version of a charter bus—ideal for shorter trips and tighter city streets. These vehicles seat anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers and are perfect for airport transfers, hotel shuttles, or quick hops between venues in downtown areas. Minibuses still offer great amenities like WiFi, USB charging ports, overhead storage racks, and comfortable seating—but without the bulk of a full-size coach. They’re easy to maneuver through busy corridors around Mizner Park in Boca Raton or along Deerfield Beach’s beachfront A1A strip.
Our charter buses come in several sizes to fit your needs. The most common configuration is the 56-passenger motorcoach, but we also offer 47-seat and 40-seat models if you have a slightly smaller group. Each bus has high-back reclining seats, overhead parcel racks, and plenty of legroom for comfort on long rides. Large charter buses are great for transporting entire sports teams, student groups, or company departments to events across Broward and Palm Beach counties. If you need something even bigger, we can send multiple buses to move hundreds of people at once!
Minibuses typically seat between 15 and 35 passengers, depending on the model. Common sizes include 18-passenger, 23-passenger, 28-passenger, and 30-passenger layouts. These smaller vehicles are perfect for shuttling wedding guests from hotels to venues like The Cove Waterfront Restaurant or running corporate loops between office parks along Hillsboro Boulevard. Minibuses are easy to park, quick to load, and still offer many of the same amenities as larger coaches—just in a more compact package.
We offer one of the largest and most diverse fleets in South Florida! Our lineup includes full-size charter buses (40-56 seats), minibuses (15-35 seats), party buses (10-40 seats), sprinter vans (10-15 seats), and entertainer coaches for bands or VIPs. Each vehicle class comes with different seating capacities and amenity packages so you can choose exactly what fits your group size and budget. Whether you’re moving a dozen executives or a hundred fans, we have the right bus ready to roll.
All our buses come loaded with amenities designed for comfort and convenience. Standard features include high-speed WiFi, multiple USB and power outlets at every seat, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, and PA systems for announcements. Larger coaches have onboard restrooms, extra-large luggage compartments, and reclining seats with footrests. You can also request premium upgrades like leather upholstery, hardwood-style flooring, mood lighting, or even a kitchenette area with fridge and microwave. Just let us know what you need—we’ll make it happen!
Yes! Most of our buses are equipped with modern sound systems that support AUX, Bluetooth, or USB connections so you can play your own playlists during the ride. This is especially popular for wedding parties heading to reception venues or sports teams getting pumped up before a big game. If you have specific audio/video requirements, just mention it when booking and we’ll match you with a bus that has the right setup.
Charter buses offer the most storage capacity, with large underfloor bays that can hold multiple suitcases per passenger—perfect for airport transfers to FLL or multi-day trips. Overhead racks inside the cabin provide additional room for backpacks, briefcases, or smaller items. Minibuses have less total space but still feature rear cargo holds and interior shelves for light baggage. If you’re traveling with oversized equipment like golf clubs, musical instruments, or display materials for trade shows at the Broward County Convention Center, let us know so we can allocate enough room.
Absolutely. We are committed to providing accessible transportation options for all passengers.

Yes, you can arrange for a custom wrap or branding on your charter bus! This is a popular option for corporate outings, political campaigns, or major events where visibility matters. You’ll need to provide the artwork and coordinate installation/removal, but we’re happy to work with your vendor to schedule the bus for wrapping. Full wraps, partial decals, window graphics—we’ve seen it all and can accommodate most requests.
We will always try to accommodate special requests for specific models, brands, or colors whenever possible. Our fleet includes popular makes like MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, Setra, Grech Motors, and Turtle Top. Whether you want a white minibus for a wedding at The Addison or a blacked-out coach for a corporate event at JM Family Enterprises headquarters, just ask. While we can’t guarantee exact matches due to scheduling, we’ll do our best to meet your preferences.
The price of renting a charter bus in Deerfield Beach varies based on several factors: distance traveled, duration of service, size/type of vehicle, and time of year. For local trips within Broward County, expect rates to start around $175-250 per hour with a minimum booking period. Daily rates for longer excursions to places like Orlando or Key West range from $1,200 to $2,500 depending on mileage and amenities selected.

Daily packages for continuous service—such as looping between hotels and conference centers—typically run $900-1,500 depending on schedule complexity and passenger count. Exact pricing depends on the same variables as above: route length, number of hours, and any special requests. Contact us today for a personalized estimate tailored to your group’s needs.
Several elements influence the final cost of your bus rental: total mileage, number of service hours, choice of vehicle (minibus vs. charter bus), seasonality (spring break and winter holidays are peak times), and optional add-ons like extra stops or premium amenities. One-way trips may incur repositioning fees if the bus returns empty, while multi-day charters require overnight accommodations for the driver. Providing a detailed itinerary upfront helps us give you the most accurate and competitive quote possible.
Your quote covers the base rental fee for the bus and driver, standard onboard amenities, fuel, tolls, and basic cleaning after the trip. It does not include parking charges at venues, gratuity for the driver (customary but optional), or costs associated with wrapping/branding the vehicle. Any special requests outside the normal scope of service will be itemized separately so there are no surprises later. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
We recommend booking your bus as early as possible—ideally 6 to 12 months ahead for major events like weddings at Quiet Waters Park or school graduations at FAU Stadium.

Last-minute reservations can sometimes be accommodated, but availability and selection may be limited. Securing your transportation early ensures you get the exact vehicle and features you want at the best price.

Long-haul charters are outfitted with extra comfort features like reclining seats, restrooms, and entertainment systems to make the journey enjoyable for everyone onboard.
