Marietta Charter Bus Rental FAQs
About Busrentalmarietta.com
Busrentalmarietta.com is an advertising and quote comparison website that lets you compare bus rental options and pricing from a network of bus companies serving Marietta through a national booking company. Fill out one quick form — or call 470-412-7890 — and you go straight to a results page showing vehicles and trip-specific pricing in seconds, no account required. As an advertising and referral website, Busrentalmarietta.com does not own or operate any vehicles; it connects you to the network so you see more options and more price points than you would by calling a single company on your own.
No. Busrentalmarietta.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned bus companies serving the Marietta area, and the transportation itself is carried out by those independently owned companies. Think of it as the fastest way to see what is available for your specific trip — one form, one results page, pricing — rather than spending an afternoon calling local operators one at a time and hoping someone picks up.
When you search on your own, you reach one company at a time and get one price at a time — if you get a callback at all. With Busrentalmarietta.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 470-412-7890 and immediately see vehicles and rates from a whole network of transportation companies serving Marietta. More options, different price points, and you see everything in seconds instead of over hours of phone tag.
That is the difference between one yard's worth of buses and an entire network competing for your booking.
An independently owned transportation company serving the Marietta area. Once you fill out the quote form, you are taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a price, not a company off a list.
The transportation company confirmed to your booking is communicated to you after booking is complete.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page — or call 470-412-7890 — and you are taken directly to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independently owned transportation operators serving the Marietta area, and their vehicles and prices show up on that results page for your specific trip. Right there on the booking company's website, you choose the vehicle and price that work for your group and book it online.
The whole thing takes minutes, and what you are choosing is a vehicle and a price — not a company.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That is enough to get pricing back. The more detail you add — your stops, your start and end times, any luggage or oversized gear, and the amenities that matter to your group — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the match you will find on the results page.
More detail in means a better-fitted vehicle out.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form you go straight to the search results page and see quotes on the national booking company's website. Nothing is sent to a voicemail box and nothing sits in a queue.
If you would rather talk through the trip with someone first, call 470-412-7890 any time and a live agent will walk you through it.
The earlier the better for a popular date, and the more specific your vehicle needs, the further out you want to be. That said — because Busrentalmarietta.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Marietta area rather than a single operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable. That is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling one company and being told no.
Submit the request or call 470-412-7890 even on short notice. You may be surprised what is available.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time — useful for events where the schedule is still moving. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another with no return leg.
A round trip brings them back to the starting point. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way, like a brewery crawl through Marietta or a shuttle looping between a hotel block and a wedding venue. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day — a long-distance run to the Smoky Mountains or a multi-day conference in another city.
Which format fits depends entirely on the trip itself. If your itinerary has multiple stops or runs overnight, lay it out in full when you submit the request so it comes back priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Those are real planning ranges — but pricing is not one size fits all. The type of bus, how long you need it, the date, the route, and how busy that date is locally all move the number.
The range gives you a starting point, not your price. The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and see pricing on the results page in seconds. Or call 470-412-7890 — going through the trip with someone can turn up better packages and pricing than you would find navigating it alone.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short booking of a couple of hours — say, a game-day shuttle from Marietta to Truist Park (755 Battery Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30339) and back — is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs a long distance, roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark or heading well out of the area, may carry a per-mile charge instead.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day that a flat day rate makes more sense. Submitting the actual trip is what determines which structure applies. The results page prices it against your specific itinerary, not a generic formula.
Six things move the price: the type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how much demand is on that date locally. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime trips on those same days price lower than evening ones.
Booking the size the group actually needs — rather than over-booking capacity — keeps the rate from climbing unnecessarily. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock before the trip even starts. In Marietta, Braves home games at Truist Park and prom weekends in April and May are among the highest-demand dates in the local market, so those dates move toward the top of the range faster than others.
If your date has flexibility, weekday and daytime bookings are where the savings are.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip, with its own route and schedule, rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and it typically seats roughly 40 to 56 people. The group books the entire coach for their own use — the destination, the timing, and the stops are all theirs to set.
From the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, wide coach body with high windows running the full length of both sides and a row of luggage bay doors along the bottom. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color — and some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the coach that shows up will not always look the same. Inside, you find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle, running the full length of the coach.
Seat fabric may be cloth or leather depending on the make and model — a Prevost H3-45 typically runs leather seating, while a standard MCI J4500 or Van Hool CX45 may be cloth or leather depending on the build. Overhead parcel racks run above the seats on both sides, and a restroom sits toward the rear of the coach.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system, and flat-screen TV monitors. Features may vary by make, model, and the specific vehicle — no two coaches are built identically, and what is standard on one may be optional on another. When you submit your trip details, note the amenities that matter most to your group, since that narrows which vehicles come back on the results page.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common build on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60. The Van Hool CX45 is the same — 56 standard, up to 60 in a high-density configuration.
The Prevost H3-45 also seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach: extra legroom configurations pull seats out, and a wheelchair position also reduces the total.
Because Busrentalmarietta.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date. If the group needs a specific capacity, submit the trip or call 470-412-7890 and that detail goes into the request.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — forward-facing, paired seating, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, since those configurations take out a row or part of one. Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for a better forward view.
But the standard layout is 14 rows, four seats across, one aisle.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms most people can picture: roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the measurement worth knowing if you are working out whether one fits in a particular drop-off lane or parking area.
Shorter coaches exist — most commonly around 35 feet — and those are sometimes the better call for tighter venues or narrower access roads. The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design overhead clearances for 12 feet. A useful comparison: a little taller than a single story of a house. That is the number to check against any garage, covered drop-off lane, or low-clearance structure on the route.
If a venue or parking structure has a posted clearance below 12 feet, a full-size coach will not clear it — and that is worth knowing before the bus arrives.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. Onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator. One thing worth setting the right expectation on: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, and browsing — not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy work simultaneously.
If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details when you submit the request. That narrows the results to vehicles that have it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach and is there so the group does not have to stop on a long run. On longer trips, the itinerary is still usually planned with real rest stops built in.
Availability may vary by vehicle, so if an onboard restroom is important to your group, note it with the trip details when you submit the request.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. What that means practically: a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run from Marietta to Nashville or down to Orlando without hunting for a plug.
If power outlets matter to the group, note it with the trip details so the results page surfaces vehicles that have them.
Yes — in two places. Inside the coach, overhead parcel racks run the full length on both sides. Underneath, undercarriage baggage bays run along the bottom of the coach and are accessed through doors on the exterior.
A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks. Across a full 56-passenger load, that works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — in practice, about one checked-size bag each in the bay below and one small carry-on in the rack above.
A few things change that math. A coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some of the baggage bay to the lift mechanism. Bulky gear — instruments, sports equipment, event supplies, or camping gear for a mountain trip — takes the space of several standard bags, so a group carrying that kind of load should state it with the trip details.
And a multi-day trip where everyone brings a full suitcase fills the bays faster than a day trip where most people travel light. State your luggage situation and any oversized items when you submit the request so the right coach gets matched to the group.
Charter Bus Service in Marietta, Georgia
Just about any group that needs to move together! The network serves airport transfers to and from Hartsfield-Jackson ATL, corporate travel and employee shuttles between offices and conference venues like Cobb Convention Center Atlanta (Two Galleria Pkwy SE, Atlanta, GA 30339), weddings and private events at venues across Marietta and Cobb County, concerts and sporting events including Braves games at Truist Park, school and church group trips to Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park and Six Flags Over Georgia, government and military moves, winery and brewery tours through North Georgia wine country and Marietta's local taprooms, prom and homecoming, and long-distance travel to cities across the Southeast. Whatever has your group moving together, there is a bus in the network ready for it.
The network serves Marietta and the full Cobb County area, including Kennesaw, Smyrna, Acworth, Powder Springs, Austell, and Mableton, as well as routes into Atlanta and across the broader metro. Those are examples, not the complete coverage area. If your route starts or ends somewhere not listed, enter the full route on the quote form or call 470-412-7890 to check availability.
Braves home games at Truist Park — 81 of them across April through October — are the single biggest recurring demand driver in the Marietta market given the stadium's three-mile proximity. Prom season across Marietta City Schools and Cobb County district schools runs through April and May and fills party buses and minibuses fast. Graduation follows in May and early June across Marietta High School, Kennesaw State University, and Chattahoochee Technical College.
Wedding peak runs April through June and September through November, with venues like 1848 House and Primrose Cottage booking a year or more ahead. The Taste of Marietta festival on Marietta Square draws 50,000+ attendees each spring. New Year's Eve takes the entire local market.
On any of those dates, the whole network fills early — book well ahead. For everything else, short-notice requests are still worth submitting, because a network of providers gives you more chances than a single call ever would.
Planning Your Marietta, Georgia Charter Bus Trip
Yes — the primary airport serving Marietta is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) (6000 North Terminal Parkway, Atlanta, GA 30320), approximately 18 to 22 miles southeast of Marietta via I-75 South or I-285 East. Off-peak, the drive runs 25 to 45 minutes; during the morning and evening rush on I-75 southbound and the Downtown Connector, plan for 60 to 90 minutes or more. For airport pickups, the coach meets the group at the spot ATL designates for buses and larger commercial vehicles — domestic arrivals use the Ground Transportation Center at the west end of the Domestic Terminal, and international arrivals use the ground transportation area at the International Terminal — following the airport's own guidelines.
Have the group assembled and luggage in hand before calling the bus forward, since commercial vehicles stage nearby and pull to the curb once the group is ready to board.
Yes — and the closest major venue to Marietta is Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, just three miles from downtown Marietta. The Battery Atlanta development surrounding the stadium means traffic on I-75 and I-285 near Cumberland backs up severely two to three hours before first pitch and for one to two hours after games — a charter bus sidesteps that entirely. The network also serves Mercedes-Benz Stadium (1 AMB Drive NW, Atlanta, GA 30313) for Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United FC matches, State Farm Arena (One State Farm Drive, Atlanta, GA 30303) for Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Dream games, and KSU Fifth Third Bank Stadium (3200 George Busbee Pkwy NW, Kennesaw, GA 30144) for Kennesaw State Owls football.
Build extra time into any game-day itinerary — event traffic around all of these venues changes the clock significantly.
Yes — the largest convention facility in the immediate area is Cobb Convention Center Atlanta (Two Galleria Pkwy SE, Atlanta, GA 30339), approximately five miles from Marietta with 320,000 square feet of convention and event space. Adjacent to it is Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre (2800 Cobb Galleria Pkwy, Atlanta, GA 30339), home to Atlanta Opera productions and Broadway touring shows. The Marietta Conference Center & Resort (500 Powder Springs St, Marietta, GA 30064) handles corporate retreats and smaller conferences right in the city.
Large venues like Cobb Galleria have designated bus loading areas separate from the main entrance — if your group is running a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a conference, lay out the full schedule with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. The network serves the full range of Marietta wedding properties: the antebellum 1848 House (780 S Cobb Dr SE, Marietta, GA 30060), the Victorian garden setting of Primrose Cottage (264 Lemon St, Marietta, GA 30060), the historic Kennesaw House (1 Depot St, Marietta, GA 30060) on the Square, the Marietta Conference Center & Resort with its full ballroom, the barn-style Venue at Oakwood Farm (4450 Nance Rd, Acworth, GA 30101) about 15 miles northwest, and Marietta Country Club (1400 Marietta Country Club Dr, Kennesaw, GA 30152). The most common setup is a shuttle looping between a hotel block and the venue across the evening — give the exact venue address and your guest count with the request and the right vehicle gets matched to it.
Yes — the network serves all of them. In Marietta proper: Marietta High School (1171 Whitlock Ave NW, Marietta, GA 30064) and the full Marietta City Schools district. Across Cobb County: the Cobb County School District — Georgia's largest, with 112 schools including Lassiter, Pope, Wheeler, Sprayberry, and Walton High Schools — is served throughout.
At the college level: Kennesaw State University (1000 Chastain Rd NW, Kennesaw, GA 30144, with a Marietta health sciences campus at 340 Cherokee St, Marietta, GA 30060), Life University (1269 Barclay Circle, Marietta, GA 30060), and Chattahoochee Technical College (980 S Cobb Dr SE, Marietta, GA 30060). Field trips and team travel typically pick up at the school or campus itself — campuses have designated bus loading zones — and student trips should include the exact headcount plus any chaperone or accessibility needs with the request.
Yes — and Marietta has a solid local circuit worth building a tour around. Start at Red Hare Brewing & Distillery (1998 Delk Industrial Blvd, Marietta, GA 30067), one of Georgia's oldest craft breweries, about four miles from the Square. Add Burnt Hickory Brewery (2165 Dallas Hwy SW #510, Marietta, GA 30064) and Reformation Brewery (2945 Canton Rd, Marietta, GA 30066) for a Marietta-only loop, or extend north to Schoolhouse Brewing (1500 Cobb Pkwy S #100, Marietta, GA 30060).
For winery trips, the North Georgia wine country around Dahlonega is about 65 miles north — Montaluce Winery (501 Hightower Church Rd, Dahlonega, GA 30533), Wolf Mountain Vineyards (180 Wolf Mountain Trail, Dahlonega, GA 30533), and Frogtown Cellars (700 Ridge Point Dr, Dahlonega, GA 30533) are all within a mile of each other and make a natural loop. For casino travel, Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort (777 Casino Dr, Cherokee, NC 28719) is approximately 95 miles north, about two hours from Marietta. A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group stays at each stop — list the stops and your time at each one with the request so the hours come back right.
Yes — long-distance trips are a regular part of what the network handles. From Marietta, common destinations include Chattanooga, TN (approximately 115 miles north via I-75, about 1 hour and 45 minutes), Nashville, TN (approximately 250 miles north, about 4 hours), Charlotte, NC (approximately 265 miles northeast via I-85, about 4 hours), Savannah, GA (approximately 250 miles southeast via I-75 and I-16, about 4 hours), Orlando, FL and the Walt Disney World area (approximately 470 miles south via I-75, about 7 hours), and the North Georgia Mountains including Dahlonega and Blue Ridge (65 to 80 miles north, 1.5 to 2 hours). A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day trip rather than by the hour.
If the itinerary runs overnight, lay out the full schedule with the request — departure city, destination, any stops, and how many days — so it comes back priced correctly.
