Columbia summers are hot—but your bus will always be cool thanks to a powerful HVAC system that maintains a comfortable temperature throughout the cabin. Each row features adjustable air vents so riders can direct airflow as they prefer, whether sitting near the front windshield or back by the restroom. In winter, the same system provides ample heat to keep everyone warm on cold mornings. Combined with tinted windows that block UV rays, this ensures a pleasant environment inside the coach regardless of weather conditions outside. Perfect for shuttling guests between venues in Five Points or transporting athletes after practice sessions.

Ride in style and comfort with plush reclining seats upholstered in high-quality leather or leatherette material. Each seat features a contoured backrest, padded headrest, and fold-down armrests for maximum support during long journeys. The upholstery is durable, easy to clean, and available in various colors to match your organization’s preferences. Passengers can recline their seats to relax, use the pull-out tray table for snacks or paperwork, and enjoy conversation with neighbors thanks to generous legroom between rows. Aisle seats swing open for quick boarding and exit at every stop.

Storage space on a charter bus

Overhead & Undercarriage Storage

Bring all your gear along with ample storage space both inside and outside the bus. Overhead compartments above each row provide room for backpacks, purses, and small personal items, keeping aisles clear and belongings within easy reach. Larger luggage, coolers, or equipment cases can be stowed in the undercarriage bays accessible from curbside doors. These exterior storage bins are lockable, weatherproof, and spacious enough to accommodate suitcases for an entire sports team or musical instruments for a marching band. Groups heading to Lake Murray for a weekend retreat or packing supplies for a volunteer project will appreciate the flexible cargo options available.
