What amenities are available on each of our bus types in Independence, Missouri?

Our minibus rentals can accommodate anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers and come equipped with cushioned reclining seats, WiFi connectivity, overhead climate controls, and spacious aisles for added comfort. Full-size charter bus rentals are ideal for large-scale events like school field trips to the National WWI Museum and Memorial or group transfers to regional campuses, and can seat up to 56 passengers. Onboard amenities include undercarriage storage for bulky items, individual power outlets, an onboard restroom, and ADA-accessible features upon request.

We also offer sprinter vans with drivers, which are a more compact yet still comfortable option for small-group travel. No matter what vehicle you book, we work with you to find an Independence bus rental that has exactly what you're looking for at a price that fits your budget.

We regularly handle convention and church groups touring the Community of Christ Temple (201 S River Blvd, Independence, MO 64050) and Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum visitors. During the annual Santa-Cali-Gon Days festival on the Square, we help groups bypass street closures on Lexington Ave and Truman Rd with coordinated drop-offs and shuttle staging in designated oversized lots near the Jackson County Courthouse Annex.

How far in advance should I book my Independence, Missouri bus rental?

+

As a general rule of thumb, you should try to book your bus rental at least 1 to 3 months in advance. However, because the Kansas City Metro area has a packed event calendar, we recommend booking your bus rental 3 to 6 months in advance. This is especially important if your group plans to travel during the busy spring season for graduations and weddings or the fall season for Kansas City Chiefs home games. The earlier you book, the more availability you will have, and the easier it will be to get you a charter bus that fits your budget and your group size.

But don't worry if you're on a tight schedule! As long as your group has a clear headcount and itinerary, our reservation experts can help you find the right charter bus for your trip. Call us today 913-286-1250 to get an instant quote!
