Church bus rental with a driver in South Florida

Trips church groups book

Nobody from the church has to drive.

Congregations book a coach whenever a group needs to travel together and nobody should have to drive. Ace picks up at the church and handles the road.

Larger churches with several services or campuses also book coaches for joint events, so members from each campus arrive together and sit together.

A bus rental that comes with a driver

Everyone rides, the pastor included.

Some searches for a church bus rental mean a bus the church drives itself. Ace does not rent self-drive buses. Every vehicle comes with a professional driver, so no volunteer has to take the wheel of a large vehicle and everyone, the pastor included, rides as a passenger. Every Ace vehicle has GPS tracking, Wi-Fi and onboard cameras.

Pick the size by headcount. A minibus seats 15 to 20 and suits a ministry team or a small group retreat. A full size motorcoach seats 56 for a large group, and more vehicles can join for a church-wide trip, drawing on a partner-fleet capacity of 40+ vehicles.

What shapes a church trip quote

A written number before sign-ups open.

Every trip is quoted, so the finance team can approve a written number before sign-ups open.

Many churches collect a share of the cost from each traveler. A written quote lets the trip leader set that share before anyone signs up.

• Date and departure timeFrom the church
• How many rideSets the vehicle
• Destination and stops
• Single day or a return laterA drop-off, then a pickup days later
• LuggageFor overnight stays
• Each traveler's shareSet from the written quote

Leaving from the church parking lot

A coach that leaves on time keeps the day on time.

Most church trips start in the church lot early in the morning, when families are dropping people off and cars are coming and going. Mark a clear spot where the coach can pull in and open its door, away from the drop-off lane.

Have one trip leader hold the sign-up list. Bags go in the bays first, then people board, and the leader counts heads before the coach leaves. The same count happens at every stop and before the ride home.

Retreats across the state and back

Drop off and come back, or stay with the group.

Many retreat and camp centers sit outside South Florida, in the lakes and oak country of central Florida or toward the Gulf. Ace runs those trips when they start at your church, inside the area from Port St. Lucie to Key West.

For a retreat of several days, the coach can drop the group off and come back on the last day, or stay with the group if you need rides during the retreat. Tell dispatch which plan fits and the quote follows it.
