One road, long bridges, one coach
One way down, one way back, one coach.
Key West sits at the south end of US-1. The Overseas Highway is the only road in and out, running from the mainland across Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon and the Lower Keys on a chain of islands and long bridges.
That shapes every Keys charter. There is one way down and one way back, with few places to turn a big coach around. A charter keeps your group on one coach with one driver the whole way, with planned stops instead of a caravan of rental cars trying to stay together. Every Ace vehicle has Wi-Fi, GPS tracking and onboard cameras for the long run down the island chain.
The Keys trips Ace charters
Keep the coach, or book the return alone.
Most Key West charters fall into one of these.
A group staying a few nights can keep the coach in Key West, or send it back and book the return on its own. Keeping it means it is there for a run up to Bahia Honda or a dinner across the island.

Groups flying straight into Key West can be met at the airport too. Ace picks up at Key West International (EYW) for a ride to a Key West hotel, a run up the Keys, or the trip north to MIA, FLL and the cruise ports.
Fantasy Fest Transportation covers festival week and Key West day charters: a group from Miami or Fort Lauderdale riding down and back in one day, or a group already in Key West keeping a coach for a day on the island. Ace is not affiliated with Fantasy Fest or its organizers; tickets and admission are bought from them.

Charter, transfer or day tour
Pick the service before you pick the coach.Three different services reach Key West, and it helps to pick the right one.
A charter is the whole coach for your group, on your schedule. For a smaller party or a shared ride on a one way transfer, see Miami to Key West. For a round trip in a day from Miami with time on Duval Street, see Key West Day Trip from Miami, which Ace runs as a tour. For how Ace charters work across South Florida, read Charter Bus Fort Lauderdale or Charter Bus Miami.

Choosing the coach for Keys luggage
Choose by riders and gear together.
Keys groups travel heavy: suitcases, dive and snorkel bags, fishing rods, coolers. Choose the coach by riders and gear together.
Ace runs Sprinter vans with a driver for small parties, a minibus for 15 to 20 riders and a full size motorcoach for 56 with luggage bays under the floor. Old Town Key West has narrow streets, so a full coach may stop at the edge of the historic district while a smaller coach can reach many guesthouse curbs. Larger groups use several coaches from a partner-fleet capacity of 40+ vehicles.

What a Keys charter quote depends on

On the road, and the paperwork
Build in a cushion on the island chain.A breakdown or crash on a single-road island chain can slow everything behind it, so plan a Keys charter with a cushion, especially when a flight or a ship waits at the other end. Give dispatch the departure time and let dispatch set the pickup.

How it works
How a charter bus key west trip runs
Gear at the curb
Set out the snorkel bags, towels and suitcases at the curb. The driver loads them into the luggage bays before anyone boards.
Pickup at the resort
The coach waits at the resort entrance by the white picket fence with its door open, and the group boards together. The driver checks the head count before the coach leaves.
Up the Overseas Highway
The coach crosses the long bridges of the Lower Keys, past the old arched rail bridge at Bahia Honda, with turquoise water on both sides.
By the waterfront
On arrival in Key West, the coach parks near the waterfront by the sailboats and the pier, and the group steps off for the next part of the trip. Bags come out of the bays at the curb.
Charter Bus Key West: common questions
Something else on your mind? Call (954) 250-6667.
How much is a charter bus to Key West?
Each Keys charter is quoted from the coach class, the route, one way or round trip, stops and dates. Call (954) 250-6667 or send the form for a written quote.
Can a charter pick us up at MIA and drop us in Key West?
Yes. One way charters from MIA or FLL to Key West hotels are a common Keys booking. Send the flight details with the request. If a flight runs late, call dispatch, which answers 24/7. Ace also picks up at Key West International (EYW).
Can the coach take us from Key West to a cruise ship?
Yes, to PortMiami or Port Everglades. Plan it with a generous cushion, because there is only one road out of the Keys.
How early should we book for Fantasy Fest?
As early as you can. Fantasy Fest is held in Key West every October, according to its official website; check the organizer's current dates and rules, then call dispatch.
Can a full size coach drive into Old Town?
Not always. Old Town streets are narrow, so the coach may stop at a nearby wider street, or a smaller coach can do the hotel pickups.
Is a Keys charter shared with other travelers?
No. A charter is private to your group. For shared rides, see Miami to Key West.
