Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rentals in Fort Smith

FAQS

Fort Smith Coach Bus Service offers one of the largest and newest fleets in Arkansas, with vehicles for every group size and budget. You can rent a 15-35 passenger minibus from top brands like Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, or Tiffany Coach Builders—great for shuttling wedding guests between downtown Fort Smith hotels and venues like The Glass Pavilion at Fort Smith Regional Art Museum. For larger groups, choose a 40-56 passenger coach bus from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, or Setra, perfect for school field trips to the Fort Smith National Historic Site or corporate outings to Choctaw Casino & Resort in Pocola, OK. We also have party buses (10-50 passengers), sprinter vans (10-15 passengers), and school buses available for any event across Sebastian County and beyond.

Bus rental pricing in Fort Smith depends on several factors, including the type of vehicle, trip distance, duration, and time of year. Minibuses start at $150 per hour or $1,520 per day, while full-size charter buses range from $145-$550+ per hour or $1,520-$5,000+ per day. Party buses and sprinter vans are also available, with rates based on size and amenities. To get an exact quote, call our team at 479-545-1390 or use our online tool with your trip details. We’ll find the best bus at the best price for your group!

The main factors that affect your bus rental price are: the type and size of vehicle you choose, the length and distance of your trip, whether you’re traveling during peak season (spring and fall are busiest for weddings and school events), and any special amenities you request. For example, a weekend charter from Fort Smith to Fayetteville for a Razorbacks game will cost more than a weekday shuttle around downtown. One-day local rentals are usually less expensive than multi-day out-of-state trips. If you have specific needs like extra luggage space for band equipment or ADA-accessible features, let us know so we can match you with the right bus.
