Coach Bus Rentals in Decatur, Illinois

We have one of the largest fleets in Illinois, with vehicles for every group size and budget. You can book a 15-35 passenger minibus from Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks or Tiffany Coach Builders—perfect for shuttling wedding guests between venues like Hickory Point Golf Course and the Decatur Conference Center & Hotel. For large groups, our 40-56 passenger charter buses from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool and Setra offer under-floor luggage bays, restrooms, and reclining seats—ideal for school trips to the Children’s Museum of Illinois or band competitions at Millikin University. We also have 10-50 passenger party buses built by Krystal, Grech Motors, Tiffany, LGE Coachworks and Executive Coach Builders—all with hardwood floors, wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lighting, and Bluetooth-capable sound systems. Sprinter vans (10-15 passengers) and classic yellow school buses round out our fleet.

Bus rental prices depend on several factors: vehicle type, trip distance, number of hours or days, and time of year. Minibuses start at $150 per hour, party buses from $180 per hour weekdays/$200 weekends, sprinter vans from $160 per hour weekdays/$180 weekends, and full-size charter buses from $145 per hour. Daily rates range from $1,520 to $5,000+ depending on vehicle size and amenities. Mileage-based pricing is $4.00-$9.95 per mile for minibuses, $6.00-$9.95 per mile for charter buses. Major events like Decatur Celebration, high school homecomings, or Millikin University graduation will increase demand and rates—so book early for the best price.

Several things influence your final quote: bus size (larger vehicles cost more), trip length (both hours and miles), number of days, and whether your itinerary requires overnight stays. Peak season—April through June for proms, graduations, and spring weddings—usually means higher rates. Special requests like multiple pickup/drop-off locations (e.g., shuttling guests from Forsyth hotels to a downtown Decatur reception), premium amenities (WiFi, TVs, PA systems), or last-minute bookings may also affect pricing. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to provide your exact schedule, headcount, and wish list when you call or fill out our online form.

Every bus comes with climate control and comfortable seating, but we offer lots of upgrades. Charter buses can include WiFi, power outlets at every row, flat-screen TVs with DVD/Blu-ray players, PA systems for tour guides, onboard restrooms, and reclining seats with footrests. Minibuses may have USB charging ports, overhead parcel racks, and Bluetooth-enabled sound systems. Party buses feature wraparound leather couches, color-changing LED lighting, hardwood dance floors, mirrored ceilings, and coolers for BYO drinks. Sprinter vans offer captain’s chairs, rear luggage space, and optional TV monitors. Let us know what’s important to your group—like streaming video for a youth sports team heading to Springfield or extra storage for band instruments—and we’ll match you with the right vehicle.

We handle all types of group transportation: wedding shuttles between ceremony and reception sites (popular venues include Hickory Point Banquet Facility and The Beach House), corporate event transfers to Decatur Civic Center or ADM headquarters, school field trips to Scovill Zoo or Rock Springs Nature Center, church outings, youth sports team travel (soccer tournaments at Rotary Park), concert trips to Springfield or Champaign, and bachelor/bachelorette parties on party buses. We also provide long-distance charters to Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and other Midwest destinations. If you need to move people safely and efficiently, we’ve got you covered.

The fastest way is to call our 24/7 reservations team at 447-529-2650. Just tell us your trip details: date(s), pickup and drop-off addresses, headcount, and any must-have amenities. We’ll build a custom quote in minutes and email it to you. You can also fill out the form on our website with the same information. Quotes are free, no obligation, and good for up to 72 hours. Once you’re ready to book, we’ll send you a contract to sign electronically and lock in your bus.

Most venues in Decatur have designated areas for buses to load and unload passengers. The Decatur Civic Center has a circle drive off North Franklin Street that can accommodate large vehicles. Hotels like the Decatur Conference Center & Hotel and Hampton Inn Forsyth have oversized parking lots for staging multiple buses. For downtown events, there are curbside zones along East Main Street and North Water Street near Central Park. Scovill Zoo and Rock Springs Nature Center both have bus-friendly lots. If your itinerary includes stops outside city limits—such as Allerton Park in Monticello or Lake Shelbyville beaches—let us know so we can confirm access with site managers. Please note that parking fees are not included in your rental quote and are the responsibility of the renter.

Your quote covers the use of the bus for the agreed-upon hours or mileage, plus standard amenities like climate control and cushioned seats. Optional upgrades (WiFi, TVs, PA system) will be itemized if requested. Fuel is included, but tolls, parking fees, and gratuity are not—those are the renter’s responsibility. There are never any hidden charges or surprise add-ons. If your trip involves multiple days or overnight travel, please let us know so we can plan accordingly. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing and clear communication from start to finish.

Yes, we can accommodate urgent requests whenever possible thanks to our large fleet and 24/7 dispatch team. If you need a bus on short notice—due to a flight cancellation at Decatur Airport, a substitute driver for a school trip, or an unexpected surge in wedding guest RSVPs—call us immediately at 447-529-2650. We’ll check real-time availability and do our best to dispatch a vehicle within hours. Same-day bookings are subject to current inventory and may be more expensive than reservations made weeks in advance. For peace of mind, we recommend scheduling your transportation as early as possible, especially during peak season.
