No—Mesquitecoachbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of bus companies serving the Mesquite area, and the transportation itself is carried out by independently owned companies operating in your area. Think of it as the fast way to see what is actually available for your trip and what it costs, without spending an afternoon on the phone.
You submit your trip details, head over to the national booking platform, and choose the vehicle that works for your group.
When you search on your own, you call one company, hear what they have, and either book it or start over. With Mesquitecoachbuscompany.com, you fill out one form—or make one call to 469-862-9170—and you see vehicles and rates from a whole network of providers serving Mesquite in seconds. More options, different price points, and no back-and-forth with individual operators.
The time you would have spent calling five companies is the time you spend comparing the results and picking the bus that fits your trip.
An independently owned transportation company serving Mesquite. Once you fill out a quote, you head over to the national booking platform, where you choose the vehicle that suits the trip—a specific coach, a specific price, a specific package. What you are selecting there is a vehicle, not a company off a list.
The transportation company assigned to the booking is confirmed to you once the reservation is complete. The process keeps it simple: you pick the bus, they handle the rest.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this site or call 469-862-9170—either way takes about a minute. As soon as you submit, you are taken to a search results page on the national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independently owned transportation operators serving the Mesquite area, and their results page shows you what is available for your trip.
What you are choosing there is a vehicle and a price. Select the one that fits, and you book it directly on their website. The whole thing, from quote request to confirmed booking, happens online in minutes.
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 a quote started. The more detail you add—your stops, exact start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities the group needs—the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the match you find.
A complete picture of the trip gets you a complete price, not a range you have to negotiate later.
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 booking company's website. Pricing and vehicles are right there in front of you.
If you would rather go through it with someone, call 469-862-9170 and a person will walk you through the options and help you find the right fit for your trip.
The earlier the better, especially for a busy date or a specific vehicle—but short-notice trips are absolutely worth submitting. Because Mesquitecoachbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Mesquite area rather than one operator with one yard, last-minute availability is often there when a single company would tell you no. That is the real advantage of comparing a network.
Submit the request or call 469-862-9170 even if your date is close—you will see what is available right away and can book from there. For the busiest dates on the Mesquite calendar, getting ahead of it by a few months gives you the best selection and the best pricing.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time—great for an evening out in Deep Ellum or a day at the State Fair of Texas. A one-way transfer moves your group from one place to another.
A round trip brings them back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops, like a winery loop through Rockwall and East Texas or a shuttle between a hotel and the Mesquite Convention Center. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a long-distance run to San Antonio or a tournament weekend.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself, and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full with 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 starting ranges, but pricing is not one size fits all. The type of bus, the date, the distance, the number of stops, and how busy that day is locally all move the number.
The range tells you where to plan; your actual trip tells you your price. Fill out the form and see pricing for your specific trip in seconds, or call 469-862-9170—going through the trip with someone can turn up better packages and pricing than you would find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance—roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark, or heading well out of the area toward Houston, San Antonio, or New Orleans—may carry a per-mile charge instead of stacked hourly rates.
A long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Which structure applies to your trip is determined by the actual itinerary you submit—not by a rule set in advance. Submit the trip and the pricing that comes back reflects what your specific route and timing actually costs.
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 busy that date is in the Mesquite market all move the price. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime trips price lower than those same nights.
Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock. In Mesquite, the busiest stretches—Mesquite Championship Rodeo weekends in summer, State Fair of Texas weeks in October, Cowboys home Sundays, and prom season in April and May—pull the most demand from the local market and price accordingly.
Book those dates ahead. For everything else, the form gets you pricing in seconds.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip, running its own route on its own schedule rather than following a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle—typically seating 40 to 56 passengers—and the entire coach is reserved for the group that books it. No shared routes, no stops for other passengers, no fixed timetable.
Your trip, your schedule.
From the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, long coach body with high windows running the full length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the lower skirt. The exterior is most often finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, though some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics—so the coach that shows up may not always look the same. Inside, you get forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle.
Seat fabric is cloth or leather depending on the make and model—an MCI J4500 or a Prevost H3-45 typically runs leather or premium cloth—with overhead parcel racks running the full length of the cabin and a restroom toward the rear. The interior is taller and wider than most people expect until they step on board.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead and undercarriage storage, WiFi, power outlets, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may include any combination of those depending on the make, model, and specific vehicle—never every amenity on every coach. If there is something the group needs, note it with the trip details when you submit the request.
That narrows which vehicles come back to the ones that are actually equipped for what you need.
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 can be built for up to 60. The Van Hool CX45 is the same—56 standard, up to 60.
The Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach is configuration: extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total.
Because Mesquitecoachbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date and route. Submit the trip or call 469-862-9170 if the group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle—forward-facing, paired, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair position, and some coaches tier the front rows slightly for the sightline. Fourteen rows, two-by-two, is the standard layout on a full-size 56-passenger build.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms most people can actually picture: roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the number to have in mind if you are working out whether one fits a particular pickup location or venue approach.
Shorter coaches exist—most commonly around 35 feet—and the 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle in the network.
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 real-world comparison: a little taller than the first floor of a house. That is the number to have in mind if you are checking a parking garage, an underpass, or a venue approach for clearance before your trip.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. Onboard WiFi is a feature a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by the specific vehicle. One thing worth knowing before the trip: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach—phones, messaging, browsing—not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy work at once.
If the group needs it, note WiFi with the trip details when you submit the request. That narrows the results to vehicles that are actually equipped with it.
Yes—an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach and is there so a group does not have to stop, though on a long run from Mesquite to San Antonio or Houston the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way. Features may vary by vehicle, so if an onboard restroom is important for the trip, 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 Mesquite to Austin or New Orleans without hunting for a plug.
If the group needs power outlets, note it with the trip details so the right coach is matched to the trip.
Yes—in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin inside, and undercarriage baggage bays run along the lower skirt of the coach underneath it. 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—which in practice is about one checked-size bag per person below plus one small carry-on above. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear—instruments, sports equipment, event supplies, or cases for a Mesquite Championship Rodeo group—takes the space of several bags. State luggage and any oversized items with the trip details when you submit the request so the right coach gets matched to the group.
Undersizing the luggage bay is the most common mismatch on group trips, and it is the easiest one to avoid.
