About Busrentalsmyrna.com
Busrentalsmyrna.com is an advertising and quote comparison website that lets you compare bus rental options and pricing from a network of bus companies serving Smyrna through a national booking company. Fill out one quick form and you land on a results page showing different vehicles and prices in seconds — no account required, and a free quote is always available online or by phone at 470-470-8160. Busrentalsmyrna.com is an advertising and referral website and does not own or operate vehicles.
No — Busrentalsmyrna.com is a comparison and referral website. What that means for you in practical terms: you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned bus companies serving Smyrna and the surrounding area, and the transportation itself is carried out by those independent companies. You fill out one form, see your options, and book the vehicle that fits your trip — all without calling a single company on your own.
You fill out one form or make one call to 470-470-8160 and get more options and different price points than if you reached out to a local company yourself. Instead of calling five Smyrna-area operators and waiting on callbacks, you see vehicles and rates quickly, side by side, from a network of providers — and companies compete for the booking. That competition is exactly what saves you time and puts more options in front of you than any single operator can offer.
An independently owned transportation company serving Smyrna. Once you fill out a quote, you head over to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — a specific coach, size, and price. What you are choosing there is a vehicle, not picking a company off a list.
The transportation company assigned to the booking is confirmed to you after you book through the platform.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page — or call 470-470-8160 — and you are taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independent operators serving Smyrna and the surrounding area, and you book the bus you want directly on their website. What you are choosing there is a vehicle and a price.
The whole thing takes minutes, and no account is required to see your options.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you give — your specific stops, start and end times, how much luggage the group is carrying, and any amenities you need — the more accurate your quote comes back and the better the deal you can find. A multi-stop night out in the Battery Atlanta or a Braves game shuttle from Smyrna gets priced more precisely when the full itinerary is laid out upfront.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. As soon as you submit the form you go straight to the search results page and see quotes on the booking company's website in seconds. If you would rather go through it with someone, call 470-470-8160 and a live agent will walk you through your options and put together a package around your trip.
The earlier the better for a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type goes further ahead. That said, because Busrentalsmyrna.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving Smyrna rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — that is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no. Submit the request or call 470-470-8160 even on short notice.
Braves home games at Truist Park and Cobb County prom weekends are the dates that fill fastest across the entire local market, so those are worth booking as early as you can.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a block of time — great for a night out through the Battery Atlanta and Vinings, or a Braves game where you want the bus waiting when the final out lands. A one-way transfer moves a group from one place to another, a round trip brings them back, a multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops, and a multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day — like a long-distance run to Nashville or Savannah.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself, and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid 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. Pricing is not one size fits all — there are different packages and a number of things that move a quote, so those ranges are a starting point rather than your price. The fastest way to see a number for your specific trip is to fill out the form and see pricing on the results page in seconds.
You can also call 470-470-8160, where going through the trip with someone can turn up better pricing and packages than you would find searching on your own. For a full breakdown of what moves the number, see the Smyrna charter bus prices page.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours — say, a Braves game shuttle from a Smyrna hotel to Truist Park and back — is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance, roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark or heading well out of the area toward Nashville or Orlando, may carry a per-mile charge instead.
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. Submitting the actual trip is what determines which structure applies.
The type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all move the number. 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 in Smyrna instead of five separate stops cuts the hours on the clock.
Braves home games at Truist Park — which is literally in the Cumberland district right on Smyrna's doorstep — are among the highest-demand days in the entire Cobb County market, so those dates carry a premium. The figures on this page and the Smyrna charter bus prices page are consistent with each other.
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 — rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. You set the pickup point, the destination, and the timing, and the coach runs that trip for your group alone.
Outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall coach body with high windows running most of its length and a row of luggage bay doors along the lower half. 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. Inside, you have forward-facing seats in pairs on either side of a center aisle, with seat fabric in cloth or leather depending on the make and model.
Overhead racks run the full length of the cabin, and a restroom sits toward the rear. Real coaches you might recognize include the MCI J4500, which is the long silver coach you see on interstate highways, and the Prevost H3-45, which has a slightly rounded nose and a lower floor line. Both seat 56 as a standard build.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, power outlets, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may include USB charging ports, Bluetooth audio, and reading lights at each seat. Because amenities vary by make, model, and vehicle, none of these are guaranteed on a specific coach — they are confirmed during booking.
Note the amenities that matter most to your group when you submit your trip details, since that narrows which vehicles come back in the results.
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 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44.
On the same coach, extra legroom or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the count. Because Busrentalsmyrna.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date, so submit the trip or call 470-470-8160 if the group needs a specific capacity.
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, and some coaches tier the front rows slightly for a better view. That 14-row layout is the standard full-size build.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in perspective: roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the reason people ask — they are working out whether one fits somewhere, whether that is a parking deck at Cobb Galleria Centre or a driveway at a Smyrna wedding venue.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and the 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design clearances for 12 feet. A real comparison: a little taller than a single story of a house. That is the number to check against a parking deck or covered entrance before the bus arrives — the Cumberland/Galleria district has several structures with lower clearances than the posted 12-foot standard, so it is worth confirming with the venue if the pickup or drop is inside a covered structure.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. Onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make and model. One thing worth knowing before a long run to Nashville or Charlotte: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, browsing — not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy work at once.
Note WiFi with your trip details if the group needs it, since that narrows which vehicles come back.
Yes, an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach and is there so the group does not have to stop, though on a longer run — say, the six-and-a-half hours down to Orlando — the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way. Mention it with the trip details if it matters to your group, since it is confirmed during booking rather than assumed.
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. What that means practically: a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run to Savannah or Washington, D.C., without hunting for a plug.
Note it with the trip details if the group needs it.
Yes, in two places — overhead parcel racks inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays underneath it. 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 — which in practice is about one checked-size bag each below plus one small carry-on above.
A few things change that math: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear — instruments for a school music trip, sports equipment for a Campbell High team, event supplies for a Cobb Galleria convention — takes the space of several bags. State your luggage situation and any oversized items with the trip details so the right coach gets matched to your group.
Charter Bus Service in Smyrna, Georgia
Any group, any occasion. Airport transfers to and from Hartsfield-Jackson are one of the most common requests — one bus beats a caravan of cars on I-285. Corporate travel and employee shuttles between Smyrna offices and the Cobb Galleria Centre or downtown Atlanta are a daily need for the Cumberland district.
Weddings and private events use charter buses to move guests between hotel blocks and venues without anyone worrying about parking. Concerts at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre and sporting events at Truist Park are naturals — one bus, one parking pass, no post-game scramble. School and church group trips, government and military moves, prom and homecoming, brewery and distillery tours through Smyrna and Atlanta's craft beer scene, and long-distance travel to Nashville, Savannah, or Orlando are all in the mix.
See the full list of available bus types and the service area for everything on offer.
Smyrna sits at the center of a busy transportation corridor, and the network serves the entire metro Atlanta region. Nearby cities served include Marietta, Vinings, Mableton, Austell, Powder Springs, Kennesaw, Acworth, Woodstock, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Buckhead, and downtown Atlanta — as well as all of Cobb, Fulton, Cherokee, and Gwinnett counties. Those are examples, not the complete coverage area.

Truist Park is literally in the Cumberland district on Smyrna's doorstep, which means every Atlanta Braves home game from April through October pulls hard on the local bus market — game days are among the highest-demand dates in Cobb County all season long. Prom season runs March through May across Campbell High School, Wheeler High School, Marietta High School, and every other Cobb County school, and those weekends fill the entire local market simultaneously. Graduation season in May and June stacks on top of it.
The Jonquil Festival in April at Smyrna's Village Green draws 30,000-plus visitors to the city itself. Dragon Con over Labor Day weekend and the SEC Championship and Peach Bowl in December at Mercedes-Benz Stadium pull regional demand across all of metro Atlanta. Book those dates well ahead — and for anything else, submit the request or call 470-470-8160 even on short notice, because the network covers far more capacity than any single operator.
Planning Your Smyrna, Georgia Charter Bus Trip
Yes — the primary airport serving Smyrna is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) (6000 N Terminal Pkwy, Atlanta, GA 30320), about 18 to 22 miles from Smyrna via I-285 East to I-85 South. Off-peak, that run takes 25 to 40 minutes; during morning and afternoon peaks on I-285, budget 45 to 75 minutes. ATL is the busiest airport in the world and served more than 104 million passengers in 2023, so ground transportation is organized and designated — charter buses meet arriving groups at the North or South lower curbside of the Domestic Terminal, following ATL's own commercial vehicle guidelines.
Cobb County Airport – McCollum Field (RYY) (1723 McCollum Pkwy NW, Kennesaw, GA 30144) is about 10 miles north of Smyrna and handles private and general aviation. Call 470-470-8160 or fill out the form for any airport run.
Yes — and the biggest one is right on Smyrna's doorstep. Truist Park (755 Battery Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30339), home of the Atlanta Braves, sits in the Cumberland/Battery Atlanta district less than two miles from central Smyrna. Charter buses drop groups on Circle 75 Parkway near the Braves Clubhouse entrance, with staging in the North Parking Deck area.
Windy Hill Road and I-75 back up significantly before first pitch, so building in extra time is the move. Mercedes-Benz Stadium (1 AMB Drive NW, Atlanta, GA 30313), home of the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United FC, is about 12 miles south via I-75 and hosts the SEC Championship and Peach Bowl. State Farm Arena (1 State Farm Drive, Atlanta, GA 30303) is home to the Atlanta Hawks.
Kennesaw State University's Fifth Third Bank Stadium is about 15 miles north. See all sporting event transportation options.
Yes — and two of the biggest are essentially in Smyrna's backyard. Cobb Galleria Centre (2 Galleria Pkwy SE, Atlanta, GA 30339) is about one mile from Smyrna city center, with 320,000 square feet of exhibit and meeting space and a designated bus loading area on Galleria Pkwy at the main entrance. Right next door, the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre (2800 Cobb Galleria Pkwy, Atlanta, GA 30339) hosts Broadway touring productions, concerts, and galas, with bus drop-off on Cobb Galleria Pkwy at the entrance circle.
The Georgia World Congress Center (285 Andrew Young International Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30313), one of the largest convention centers in the country, is about 12 miles south. Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main entrance, and a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a venue should have its full schedule laid out with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly. See corporate and convention transportation options.
Yes, any wedding venue in the area. Smyrna and the surrounding Cobb County corridor have a strong wedding scene. The Brickyard at Riverview Landing (2500 Riverview Rd, Smyrna, GA 30080) is an industrial-chic waterfront venue on the Chattahoochee River popular for both weddings and corporate events.
The Smyrna Community Center (200 Village Green Cir SE, Smyrna, GA 30080) hosts receptions in the heart of the city. Nearby favorites include The Foundry at Puritan Mill in Atlanta's West Midtown (~10 miles), Summerour Studio (~10 miles), and the Swan House at Atlanta History Center in Buckhead (~15 miles). Most Smyrna wedding groups use hotel blocks at the Hyatt Place Atlanta/Smyrna (2625 Spring Hill Pkwy SE, Smyrna, GA 30080) or the Sheraton Suites Cumberland/Galleria (2844 Cobb Pkwy SE, Atlanta, GA 30339) — both within a few miles of the main venue corridor.
Giving the exact venue address with the request gets the right vehicle matched to the route. See wedding transportation options.
Yes — the Cobb County School District, one of the largest in Georgia with roughly 110,000 students, covers Smyrna entirely. Key Smyrna-area schools include Campbell High School (5265 Ward St, Smyrna, GA 30080), Campbell Middle School, Smyrna Elementary, Norton Park Elementary, and Nickajack Elementary. Nearby colleges and universities include Life University (1269 Barclay Cir, Marietta, GA 30060, ~5 miles), Chattahoochee Technical College (980 S Cobb Dr SE, Marietta, GA 30060, ~5 miles), and Kennesaw State University (1000 Chastain Rd NW, Kennesaw, GA 30144, ~15 miles north).
Field trips and team travel are usually 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. See school and field trip transportation options.
Yes — Smyrna has its own craft beer scene, and the Atlanta metro adds plenty more stops within easy range. Right in Smyrna, Reformation Brewery (6255 Riverview Rd. Bldg. 4000, Suite 200, Smyrna, GA 30126) and Ironmonger Brewing (1440 Fox St SE, Smyrna, GA 30080) are natural first stops. From there, a group can loop to Monday Night Brewing (~12 miles, West Midtown), Sweetwater Brewing Company (~15 miles), and Old Fourth Distillery (~15 miles, Atlanta's first legal distillery since Prohibition) in a single evening.
For nightlife, The Battery Atlanta — right on Smyrna's edge surrounding Truist Park — has bars, live music, and restaurants all walkable from one drop-off point. Vinings (~3 miles) and Buckhead (~15 miles) round out the upscale dining and nightlife options. A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group stays at each stop, so listing the stops and approximate time at each one gets the hours right when you submit the request.
Yes. Smyrna sits at the intersection of I-75 and I-285, which puts a huge range of destinations within a comfortable coach ride. Chattanooga, TN is about 115 miles and 1 hour 45 minutes north via I-75 — the Tennessee Aquarium and Lookout Mountain make it a popular day trip.
Nashville, TN is roughly 275 miles and 4 hours, and it is the top long-distance destination for Smyrna bachelorette groups. Savannah, GA is about 250 miles and 3.5 hours via I-16, and St. Patrick's Day weekend in March is one of the highest-demand dates in the state. Charlotte, NC is 245 miles and about 3.5 hours via I-85.
Orlando, FL is roughly 440 miles and 6.5 hours south on I-75, making it the go-to for Disney World and Universal Studios group trips. Gulf Shores and Destin, FL run 350 to 400 miles and 5 to 6 hours for summer beach trips. A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day trip rather than by the hour, and overnight trips need the full itinerary laid out with the request so it comes back priced correctly.
