FAQS

Parma Coach Bus Service offers one of the largest and newest fleets in Ohio, with vehicles for every group size and budget. Choose from 15-35 passenger minibuses built by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, and Tiffany Coach Builders—perfect for airport shuttles, corporate events, or wedding transportation between Parma venues like St. Charles Borromeo and Windows on the River. For larger groups, we have 40-56 passenger charter buses from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and Setra, featuring amenities like WiFi, power outlets, restrooms, and luggage bays—ideal for school trips to the Cleveland Museum of Art or multi-day tours across Ohio. We also offer party buses (10-50 passengers) with hardwood floors, wraparound seating, and premium sound systems; sprinter vans (10-15 passengers) for small-group outings; and school buses for affordable local transportation.

Bus rental prices in Parma depend on several factors, including the type of vehicle, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. Minibuses start at $150-$450 per hour or $1,520-$3,465 per day; full-size charter buses range from $145-$550 per hour or $1,520-$5,000+ per day; party buses run $180-$520+ per hour; and sprinter vans are $160-$450+ per hour.

The main factors that affect your Parma bus rental price are: vehicle size (larger buses cost more), trip length (both hours and miles), number of days, and how far in advance you book. Extras like premium amenities (leather seats, TVs, restrooms), tolls, parking fees, and out-of-state travel can also impact the total cost. Local events—like Browns games, Blossom Music Center concerts, or college graduations—may increase demand and rates. Booking early and being flexible with your schedule are the best ways to get the lowest price.

Our fleet includes vehicles with a wide range of amenities to keep your group comfortable and entertained. Standard features include cushioned reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, and PA systems. Most minibuses and charter buses offer free WiFi, USB/power outlets, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, and large luggage bays. Premium models add hardwood floors, leather upholstery, tables, restrooms, and even galley kitchens. Party buses feature wraparound seating, color-changing LED lights, Bluetooth sound systems, and coolers for drinks. If you have specific needs—like ADA accessibility, extra luggage space, or onboard workspace—let us know when you book.

We provide transportation for every type of event and group in Parma and across Cuyahoga County. Popular uses include wedding shuttles (ceremony/reception transfers), corporate commuter routes, school field trips to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo or Great Lakes Science Center, sports team travel (high school, college, amateur leagues), concert/festival shuttles, and private tours of downtown Cleveland or Lake Erie wineries. We also handle airport transfers to CLE, Cedar Point amusement park trips, church outings, and bachelor/bachelorette parties in The Flats or Ohio City.

We recommend booking your bus as early as possible—ideally 3-6 months before your event, especially if it’s during peak season (May-June for proms/weddings, September-October for football games). Spring and summer weekends fill up fast, so reserving early gives you the best selection and pricing. Last-minute rentals are available, but choices may be limited. For major events like Playhouse Square shows, Blossom concerts, or college graduations, book 6-12 months ahead to guarantee availability.

Absolutely! We specialize in multi-day and long-distance charters, whether you’re touring Ohio colleges, visiting Cedar Point, or traveling to Chicago, Detroit, or Pittsburgh. Multi-day rentals are priced based on total mileage, days, and any overnight accommodations required. Your bus will stay with your group for the entire trip, providing door-to-door service at every stop. Out-of-state trips are no problem—we serve all of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, West Virginia, and beyond.

Coach buses can load/unload passengers at most public venues, schools, and hotels in Parma, but long-term parking may be restricted in some areas. Popular drop-off points include Parmatown Mall, Byers Field, Tri-C Western Campus, and major churches along Ridge Road and State Road. For downtown Cleveland trips, use designated bus zones near Playhouse Square, Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Always check with your destination for specific instructions—some locations require permits or advance notice. If you need help planning logistics, our team can suggest the best spots based on your itinerary.
