Major Charter Bus Manufacturers

Motor Coach Industries (MCI)

The MCI J4500 is the gold standard for charter bus transportation in Greenville and throughout the Upstate. As America’s best-selling touring coach, this 45-foot luxury model seats 56 passengers and has 445 cubic feet of underfloor luggage storage—perfect for multi-day trips to Charlotte, Atlanta, or Columbia. Amenities include reclining seats, individual climate controls, power outlets/USB ports, WiFi, and HD entertainment systems. The slightly smaller J3500 offers the same luxury in a more maneuverable 35-foot package with 40-44 seats, ideal for downtown Greenville’s narrow streets or shuttles between hotels and the Greenville Convention Center. For eco-conscious groups, ask about our all-electric MCI J4500 CHARGE, which maintains a 230+ mile range and zero emissions for sustainable transportation.

Prevost

Prevost coaches represent the pinnacle of luxury and durability—they even build the frames for Ground Force One, the presidential motorcoach fleet. The Prevost H3-45 features the industry’s largest underfloor storage at 460 cubic feet, seating 56 passengers in plush, high-back seats with premium amenities. It’s an excellent choice for VIP transportation to BMW Performance Center events, executive shuttles to Michelin headquarters, or luxury wine tours to Asheville. The X3-45 model offers superior aerodynamics and stability, making it perfect for long-distance charters across South Carolina or regional trips to Charleston and Savannah.

Setra

Setra coaches bring German engineering excellence to our statewide charter services. The Setra S 417, with its advanced Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and emergency braking systems, offers top-tier safety on long-distance trips—think school field trips to Washington, D.C. or corporate transportation to major conferences in Atlanta. Seating up to 55 passengers, these coaches feature ergonomic interiors, dual-zone climate control, and ample luggage space. Their reliability and comfort make them a favorite for international tour groups visiting Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport and beyond.

Van Hool

Van Hool coaches are known for exceptional value and reliability. The CX45’s 240-gallon fuel capacity and 440 cubic feet of luggage space make it ideal for extended tours or multi-day excursions, such as band trips to Myrtle Beach or sports team travel across the Southeast. This 56-passenger coach boasts reclining seats, onboard restrooms, and modern entertainment systems. For tighter spaces, the CX35 offers similar amenities in a 35-foot frame with 38-40 seats—perfect for accessing venues like Bon Secours Wellness Arena or historic downtown areas where parking is limited.

Minibus and Shuttle Bus Manufacturers

Grech Motors

When it comes to luxury minibuses, Grech Motors leads the pack. The EG40 is our flagship minibus, seating up to 44 passengers with a powerful HVAC system—ideal for summer weddings at Hotel Domestique or corporate retreats in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The GM40 provides flexible configurations: 40 passengers plus rear luggage or 44 without, adapting to various group sizes and needs. Built on a Ford F600 chassis, the GM33 seats 28-32 and is perfect for intimate winery tours or executive airport transfers from GSP. Grech minibuses stand out for their spacious interiors, smooth rides, and high-end finishes.

Blue Bird Corporation

Blue Bird coaches are a staple for school and youth group transportation. The Vision model, available in diesel, propane, or electric, can seat up to 77-83 students and offers robust safety features like electronic stability control and ABS braking—ideal for field trips to Roper Mountain Science Center or sporting events at Furman University. For districts prioritizing sustainability, the Blue Bird Vision Electric delivers zero-emission travel with a 130-mile range, sufficient for most day trips within the Upstate or to neighboring counties.

Champion Bus Inc

Champion minibuses provide versatile solutions for moderate-sized groups. The Challenger Series, built on Ford E-series or Chevy Express chassis, accommodates 12-29 passengers and is commonly used for hotel shuttles, church outings, or small group tours—such as art gallery crawls in the Village of West Greenville. The Defender Series, on heavier-duty chassis like the Ford F-550 or Freightliner M2, offers larger capacity and enhanced suspension for longer trips or groups with significant luggage, making them suitable for collegiate athletic teams or extended corporate shuttles.

ElDorado National

ElDorado AeroTech buses set the gold standard for mid-size group transport. These 20'-25' buses seat up to 25 passengers and feature low-floor designs for ADA compliance, making boarding easy for all riders. They’re perfect for boutique tours of downtown Greenville, executive transportation between offices in the CU-ICAR automotive research park, or specialized services like hospital campus shuttles. ElDorado’s reputation for reliability and comfort makes them a go-to for organizations needing dependable daily transit.

Turtle Top

Turtle Top coaches deliver premium mid-size transportation options. The Odyssey XL, available on Freightliner S2C or Ford F600 chassis, seats up to 41 passengers and is favored for corporate group movements, wedding guest shuttles to Larkin’s Sawmill, or special event transportation during Artisphere.
