No — Portstluciecoachbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of bus companies serving Port St. Lucie and the surrounding area, and the transportation itself is carried out by independently owned companies serving your route. Think of it as the smart starting point: one form, one call, and you're looking at more options than you'd find reaching out to any single operator on your own.
When you search on your own, you call one company, get one price, and hope they have something available. With Portstluciecoachbuscompany.com, you fill out one form — or make one call to 772-251-7180 — and you immediately see vehicles and rates from a whole network of providers serving Port St. Lucie.

The companies in the network are competing for the booking, which works in your favor from the start.
An independently owned transportation company serving Port St. Lucie. Once you fill out the quote form, you head to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price.

The transportation company assigned to the booking is confirmed to you after the booking is made.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page — or call 772-251-7180 — with your pickup location, destination, date, group size, and trip times. As soon as you submit, you go straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company works with a network of independently owned operators serving the Port St. Lucie area.
Right there on their website, you browse available vehicles, see pricing for your specific trip, and book the bus you want online — all in minutes. What you're choosing is a vehicle and a price, not a specific carrier.
At minimum: your pickup city, where you're going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you give — your stops, your start and end times, how much luggage the group has, and any amenities that matter — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the match you'll find. A complete itinerary upfront means no surprises when you get to the results page.
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 national booking company's website. Pricing is there immediately, based on your actual trip details.
If you'd rather walk through it with someone, call 772-251-7180 and a live agent will go through the options with you.
Earlier is always better on a popular date, and a specific vehicle or a large group goes even further ahead. That said, because Portstluciecoachbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving Port St. Lucie rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — the network has more to draw from than any single company. Submit the request or call 772-251-7180 even on short notice.
You may be surprised what comes back. The one situation where early booking genuinely matters most is Mets spring training at Clover Park and prom season across St. Lucie County, when the entire local market gets taken fast.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time — great for events where the schedule is flexible or the group wants to make multiple stops. A one-way transfer moves your group from one place to another.
A round trip brings them back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a planned route with several stops along the way, like a brewery crawl through Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie or a shuttle loop between a hotel block and a wedding venue. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day — an Orlando theme park run, a Miami weekend, or a group heading to Key West.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself. If your itinerary has multiple stops or runs overnight, lay it 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 ranges — but pricing is not one size fits all. The type and size of bus, your date, your route, and how busy that date is locally all move the number.
The ranges are a starting point, not your price. The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and get pricing for your actual itinerary in seconds. Or call 772-251-7180 — going through the trip with someone can turn up better packages and pricing than you'd find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A shorter outing of a couple of hours — a Mets game shuttle from a Port St. Lucie hotel to Clover Park and back, for example — is usually priced hourly. A long-distance run, roughly past the 100-to-200-mile mark or heading well out of the Treasure Coast area, may carry a per-mile charge instead.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Which structure applies to your trip is determined by submitting the actual itinerary — not by guessing upfront.
The things that move the price: the type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime prices 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 — say, one hotel on St. Lucie West Boulevard instead of five separate addresses — cuts the hours on the clock. Port St. Lucie has a few dates where the entire local market gets taken early: Mets spring training at Clover Park (February through March), St. Lucie County prom season (April through May), and graduation weekends in May and June.
Book those dates well ahead. For everything else, submit the trip and see what comes back.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule, going where the group needs to go rather than following a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a full-size charter bus seats roughly 40 to 56 people depending on the make and model.
On the outside: a full-size coach body with high windows running the full length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the bottom skirt. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, and some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics — so the coach that shows up will not always look the same. On the inside: forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle, with seat fabric in cloth or leather depending on the make and model.
Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin. Toward the rear you'll find the onboard restroom. Popular full-size models include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45 — all 45-foot coaches built on the same general layout, with differences in seat configuration, interior finish, and available equipment.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage luggage bays, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may include any or all of these depending on the make, model, and specific vehicle — not every coach carries every option, and what a given bus is equipped with is confirmed during booking. If there are amenities the group needs — WiFi for a corporate run, power at every seat for a long trip — note them with your trip details so the right vehicles come back.
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 is built for up to 60. The Van Hool CX45 is the same — 56 standard, up to 60.
The Prevost H3-45 also seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach: extra legroom configurations and wheelchair positions each take seats out.
Because Portstluciecoachbuscompany.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 772-251-7180 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 seating, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, since those configurations take out one or more rows. Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for sightlines on longer scenic runs.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms most people can picture: roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the standard full-size vehicle.
Shorter coaches exist — most commonly around 35 feet — and those are worth considering when the route involves tighter urban streets or smaller parking areas. The 45-foot coach is the standard for full-capacity group travel.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design clearances for 12 feet. To put that in terms that are easy to visualize: a little taller than a single story of a house. If your group is heading somewhere with a covered garage or a low-clearance structure — a parking deck at a venue, for example — that is worth noting with the trip details so the right vehicle is matched to the route.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. One point worth knowing: onboard WiFi is equipment a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator. The other thing worth setting honestly: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, browsing — not for fifty or sixty people doing heavy data work at once.
If the group needs WiFi for the trip, note it with your trip details so vehicles equipped with it come back in the results.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, located toward the rear of the coach. It is there so the group does not have to stop, and on a longer run — say, the two-hour drive from Port St. Lucie to Orlando — the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way. Features may include the restroom depending on the specific vehicle, so if it is important for your group, note it with the trip details when you request the quote.
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. Practically speaking, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — the two-hour drive to Orlando or the two-hour run down I-95 to Miami — without anyone hunting for a plug.
If power at every seat matters for the group, note it with the trip details.
Yes — in two places. Inside the coach, overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin. Underneath the coach, undercarriage baggage bays run along the bottom skirt and are accessed through exterior bay doors.
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 — in practice, about one checked-size bag each 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 like instruments, sports equipment, or event supplies takes the space of several bags.
If the group is traveling with oversized items or a heavy luggage load — like a team heading to a tournament or a group doing a multi-day trip to the Keys — state it with the trip details so the right coach is matched to the group.
Charter Bus Service in Port St. Lucie, Florida
Any group that needs to move together — and a wide range of events. Airport transfers to and from President Donald J. Trump International (DJT), Orlando International (MCO), and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL) are among the most common bookings. Corporate travel and employee shuttles move teams between offices, conference venues, and hotels.
Weddings use shuttle buses to move guests between hotel blocks and venues across the Treasure Coast. Concerts and sporting events — including Mets spring training at Clover Park — are a natural fit. School field trips and team travel, church group trips, government and military moves, brewery and winery tours, prom, and long-distance travel to Orlando, Miami, Tampa, and beyond are all on the table.
If your group is moving together, there is a bus for it.
The network serves Port St. Lucie and the surrounding Treasure Coast region, including Fort Pierce, Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Vero Beach, Jupiter, and West Palm Beach, as well as St. Lucie, Martin, Indian River, Okeechobee, and northern Palm Beach counties. Those are examples, not the complete coverage area — the network reaches well beyond any list. Enter your full route into the quote form or call 772-251-7180 to check a city that is not listed above.
A few dates on the Treasure Coast calendar pull the entire local market early. Mets spring training at Clover Park (February through March) is the single biggest demand stretch of the year — every home game day tightens availability across St. Lucie County, and the full training period books out months ahead. Prom season across St. Lucie County school districts (April through May) and graduation weekends for IRSC, Keiser University, and the county's high schools (May through June) fill fast.
The St. Lucie County Fair in late February and early March draws large crowds from across the region. October through April is peak wedding season on the Treasure Coast — outdoor venues book solid and so do the shuttle buses. New Year's Eve is always high demand.
On all of those dates, book well ahead. For everything else, submit the request even on short notice — the network has more to draw from than any single operator.
Planning Your Port St. Lucie, Florida Charter Bus Trip
Yes — all of the airports that serve the Treasure Coast. President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT) (1000 James L. Turnage Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33406) is the closest major commercial airport, roughly 45 to 55 minutes south on I-95, and the most common airport run from Port St. Lucie. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) (100 Terminal Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315) is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes south and frequently used as an alternative.
Orlando International Airport (MCO) (One Jeff Fuqua Blvd, Orlando, FL 32827) is about 2 hours north via Florida's Turnpike — the go-to for large groups connecting to theme parks. Miami International Airport (MIA) (2100 NW 42nd Ave, Miami, FL 33142) is approximately 2 hours south via I-95. At each airport, the coach meets the group outside the terminal at the spot that airport designates for buses and larger vehicles, following that airport's own ground transportation guidelines.
Yes — and the biggest one is right here. Clover Park (31 Piazza Drive, Port St. Lucie, FL 34986) is the spring training home of the New York Mets and the regular-season home of the St. Lucie Mets (Single-A affiliate). Spring training runs February through March and draws some of the heaviest traffic Port St. Lucie sees all year — I-95 Exit 121 at St. Lucie West Boulevard backs up significantly on game days, so building extra time into the departure is smart.
For larger venues, the network also serves iThink Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach (~45 min south), Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise (~1 hr 20 min south) for Panthers games, Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens (~1 hr 50 min south) for Dolphins games, and Kaseya Center in Miami (~2 hrs south) for Heat games.
Yes — including the main civic and event facilities across the Treasure Coast. The MIDFLORIDA Event Center (9221 SE Event Center Place, Port St. Lucie, FL 34952) is the city's primary venue for community events and meetings.

Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main passenger entrance, and a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a venue — say, a conference hotel on US-1 and a venue at PGA Village — should have its full schedule laid out with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. The Treasure Coast has a strong mix of waterfront, estate, resort, and outdoor venues. Popular options include voco Sandpiper Resort (4500 SE Pine Valley St, Port St. Lucie, FL 34952) on the St. Lucie River, Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club (12950 Harbour Ridge Blvd, Palm City, FL 34990), the Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort & Marina (555 NE Ocean Blvd, Stuart, FL 34996), Manatee Island (700 NE Indian River Dr, Jensen Beach, FL 34957), and Sailfish Point (2201 SE Sailfish Point Blvd, Stuart, FL 34996).
The most common wedding setup is a shuttle loop between a hotel block and the venue — moving guests out for the ceremony and back after the reception. Give the exact venue address with the request and the right vehicle gets matched to the route.
Yes — all of them. The St. Lucie County School District covers all public schools in Port St. Lucie and the surrounding county, including Treasure Coast High School (1000 SW Darwin Blvd, Port St. Lucie, FL 34953), St. Lucie West Centennial High School (1485 SW Cashmere Blvd, Port St. Lucie, FL 34986), and Port St. Lucie High School (1201 SE Jaguar Ln, Port St. Lucie, FL 34952). On the college side, Indian River State College (IRSC) has its Pruitt Campus in Port St. Lucie (500 NW California Blvd, Port St. Lucie, FL 34986), and Keiser University's Port St. Lucie campus is at 9400 SW Discovery Way.
Field trips and team travel are typically pickups at the school or campus itself, campuses have designated bus loading zones, and student trips should include the exact headcount plus any chaperone or accessibility needs with the request.
Yes — and the Treasure Coast has a solid circuit for a group tour. Copperpoint Brewing Company (1109 NW Peacock Blvd, Port St. Lucie, FL 34986) is right in town. Sailfish Brewing Company (130 N 2nd St, Fort Pierce, FL 34950) is about 15 minutes north and one of the most popular taprooms on the coast.
Loxahatchee River Brewery in Jupiter (~30 min south) and Twisted Trunk Brewing in Palm Beach Gardens (~35 min south) round out a natural loop. For casinos, Seminole Casino Brighton (17076 Reservation Rd, Okeechobee, FL 34974) is about 45 minutes west, and Seminole Casino Coconut Creek (5550 NW 40th St, Coconut Creek, FL 33073) is about 1 hour 10 minutes south. A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group stays at each stop — list the stops and how long at each one when you request the quote so the hours come back right.
Yes — and long-distance trips are among the most popular bookings from Port St. Lucie. Orlando and the Walt Disney World and Universal Studios resort areas are about 2 hours north via Florida's Turnpike and are the single most common long-distance destination. Miami is approximately 2 hours south on I-95 — groups head there for concerts, Heat and Dolphins games, PortMiami cruises, and nights out.
Tampa is roughly 2.5 hours northwest for Busch Gardens, Buccaneers games at Raymond James Stadium, or Lightning games at Amalie Arena. Key West is about 4 hours south on US-1 and a popular multi-day trip. Jacksonville is approximately 3.5 hours north on I-95.
A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day trip rather than by the hour — and if the trip runs overnight, lay out the full itinerary with the request so it comes back priced correctly. Call 772-251-7180 or submit the route online and see what comes back.
