No — Clarksvillecoachbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of bus companies serving the Clarksville 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 a whole network of options comes back to you instead of whatever one company happens to have on the lot that day.
When you search on your own, you call one company, hear one price, and either take it or start over. With Clarksvillecoachbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 931-377-1170 and get more options and different price points than you'd find reaching out to a single local operator. You see vehicles and rates quickly instead of chasing callbacks, and because multiple providers are competing for the booking, you're in a better position to find a price and a package that actually fits your trip.
An independently owned transportation company serving Clarksville. Once you fill out the quote form, you're taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits the trip — what you're selecting there is a vehicle and a price, not a company off a list. The transportation company assigned to the booking is confirmed to you after you book.
The whole process is handled on the booking platform's website, and you can complete it entirely online in just minutes.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page or call 931-377-1170, and you're taken straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with different operators serving the Clarksville area, and right there on their site you can see what's available for your date, compare what comes back, and book the vehicle and price that works for your group — entirely online, in minutes. What you're choosing on that results page is a vehicle and a price, not a company.
Your pickup city, where you're going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That's enough to get started. The more detail you add — your stops, start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities that matter — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the deal you can find.
If you're not sure about something, call 931-377-1170 and someone will walk through it with you.
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. You're not filling out a contact form and hoping someone replies; you're looking at vehicles and pricing for your trip within seconds of hitting submit.
If you'd rather talk it through with someone, call 931-377-1170 any time.
The earlier the better on a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type goes further ahead. That said, because Clarksvillecoachbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — that's the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no. If your date is coming up fast, submit the request or call 931-377-1170 anyway.
You may find more availability than you expect, and the only way to know is to check.
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 move around. A one-way transfer moves everyone from one place to another.
A round-trip brings them back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way, like a brewery crawl or a wedding-weekend shuttle loop. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a Smoky Mountains run or a Nashville weekend.
Which format fits depends on the trip itself — and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full when you submit 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 actual trip is to fill out the form and see pricing in seconds.
Or call 931-377-1170: going through the trip with someone can turn up better pricing and packages than you'd find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance — roughly past the 100- to 200-mile mark, or heading well out of the Clarksville area toward Nashville, Memphis, or beyond — 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. Submitting the actual trip is what determines which structure applies — enter your details and see how it comes back, or call 931-377-1170 to talk through it.
What moves the price: the type and size of bus, how long it's booked for, the date and the 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 trips price lower than those same evenings.
Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points — say, a single hotel near Fort Campbell rather than five scattered addresses across Montgomery County — cuts the hours on the clock and brings the quote down. On the Clarksville calendar, prom weekends in April and May, APSU graduation in May, and Riverfest in September are the dates where the whole local market gets taken early, so those go further ahead.
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's built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people.
On the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, wide coach body with high windows running the full length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the lower panels underneath. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color — some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics — so the coach that shows up won't always look the same. Inside, you'll find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle, with fabric that may be 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. Popular models like the MCI J4500, Van Hool CX45, and Prevost H3-45 all follow this same basic layout — wide windows, two-and-two seating, a long luggage bay underneath.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead and undercarriage storage, WiFi and power outlets, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may vary by make, model, and the specific vehicle — not every coach carries every option, and what a given bus has is confirmed during booking. If there's an amenity your group needs, note it with your trip details when you submit the request, since that narrows which 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 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach: extra legroom or a wheelchair position each take seats out.
Because Clarksvillecoachbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what's available for your date — submit the trip or call 931-377-1170 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 the view. On a standard 56-passenger build, 14 rows is the number.
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's the number to work with if you're figuring out whether one fits somewhere.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and the 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle in the fleet.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design for 12 feet. A useful comparison: a little taller than the first story of a house. If you're checking clearance at a parking structure, a venue entrance, or a low bridge on the route, 12 feet is the number to measure against.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. One thing worth knowing: 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. And the honest expectation on performance — onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach: phones, messaging, browsing.
It's not built for 50 or 60 people doing heavy work at once. If WiFi matters for the group, note it with your trip details when you submit the request, 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. The honest expectation: it's there so the group doesn't have to stop, and on a long run the trip is still usually planned with real rest breaks.
If a restroom on board matters 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 to Nashville, Memphis, or the Smoky Mountains without hunting for a plug.
Note it with the trip details if the group needs it, and that will narrow which vehicles come back.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays run underneath it along both sides. 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 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 — say, a band traveling to a competition or a sports team with equipment — state that with the trip details when you submit the request so the right coach gets matched to the group.
Charter Bus Service in Clarksville, Tennessee
Any group that needs to move together. Airport transfers to and from Nashville International Airport (BNA) are one of the most common requests from Clarksville — one bus handles the whole group instead of a caravan of cars on I-24. Corporate travel and employee shuttles keep teams together for off-sites, client visits, and conference runs to Nashville.
Weddings and private events use shuttles to move guests between hotel blocks and venues across Montgomery County. Concerts and sporting events — whether at F&M Bank Arena in Clarksville or Bridgestone Arena in Nashville — go smoother when the whole group rides together. School and church group trips, government and military moves from Fort Campbell, winery and brewery tours, prom, and long-distance travel to the Smoky Mountains, Atlanta, or beyond are all on the table.

The network serves Clarksville and the surrounding region — including Oak Grove and Hopkinsville, Kentucky just across the state line, and nearby Tennessee communities like Springfield, Adams, Dover, Erin, and Cumberland City. Within an hour, Nashville, Dickson, Gallatin, and Hendersonville are all reachable. Those are examples, not the full list.
If your pickup or destination city isn't named here, enter the full route in the quote form or call 931-377-1170 to check — the network covers more ground than any one page can list.
A few dates pull the whole Clarksville market at once. Prom season in April and May — across Northeast, Rossview, Clarksville, West Creek, and Northwest High Schools — is the single busiest stretch of the year for party buses and minibuses. APSU graduation in May and APSU Homecoming in October bring alumni and family groups from across the region.
Riverfest in September draws 30,000+ to McGregor Park and tightens availability across the whole market. Fort Campbell military balls and unit events, concentrated in spring and fall, add another layer of demand. And New Year's Eve books out fast every year.
On those dates, the network's depth helps — but book well ahead. Short-notice requests are always worth submitting, because more providers means more availability than any single company could offer.
Planning Your Clarksville, Tennessee Charter Bus Trip
Yes — the primary airport for Clarksville groups is Nashville International Airport (BNA) (1 Terminal Dr, Nashville, TN 37214), about 45 to 55 miles southeast on I-24, roughly 45 to 60 minutes off-peak and up to 90 minutes during Nashville's rush hour through the I-24 and I-65 corridor. That's the airport your group almost certainly needs. Clarksville Regional Airport (CKV) (170 Aviation Blvd, Clarksville, TN 37042) is 5 miles from downtown but handles general aviation and private charter only — no scheduled commercial flights.
For groups flying into BNA, the coach meets everyone outside the terminal at the designated commercial ground transportation area, following the airport's own guidelines for buses and larger vehicles. Call 931-377-1170 or fill out the form to get your BNA transfer set up!
Yes — and Clarksville has more options than most people expect. Fortera Stadium (813 College St, Clarksville, TN 37040) is home to Austin Peay Governors football, with charter buses staging along Franklin Street and the College Street campus bus zones on fall Saturdays. Dunn Center (601 Franklin St) hosts APSU basketball and volleyball.
F&M Bank Arena (101 Main St, Clarksville, TN 37040) handles concerts and arena events, with bus drop-off on Frank Sutton Drive and parking in adjacent Lot A. And Nashville is 50 miles away — charter buses to Nissan Stadium for Titans games, Bridgestone Arena for Predators and major concerts, Geodis Park for Nashville SC, and First Horizon Park for the Sounds are all common Clarksville group trips. Build extra time on game days — event traffic changes the approach to every one of these venues.
Yes — the Clarksville Convention Center (1 Chamber of Commerce Ct, Clarksville, TN 37040) is the city's primary facility, with a designated bus loading area at the north entrance off Riverside Drive. The adjacent DoubleTree by Hilton Clarksville Riverview (50 College St, Clarksville, TN 37040) is a common hotel-to-venue shuttle pairing for multi-day conferences. Gateway Conference Center (3200 Commerce Dr, Richburg, SC 29729) handles corporate events and private gatherings.
Clarksville Speedway (1600 Needmore Rd, Clarksville, TN 37040) and the Montgomery County Fairgrounds (805 Fairgrounds Rd, Clarksville, TN 37040) host large outdoor events with open surface parking for buses. Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main entrance — if you're running a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a venue, lay out the full schedule with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. Clarksville has a real range: the DoubleTree by Hilton Clarksville Riverview Ballroom sits right on the Cumberland River waterfront. Beachaven Vineyards & Winery (1100 Dunlop Ln, Clarksville, TN 37040) does double duty as a winery and event venue with bus parking on the gravel lot off Dunlop Lane.
Wilma Rudolph Event Center (8 Champions Way, Clarksville, TN 37040) is a popular banquet and ceremony space. Historic Collinsville Pioneer Settlement (4711 Weakley Rd, Southside, TN 37171), about 15 miles out, has a narrower approach road where a minibus is sometimes the better fit over a full-size coach. The most common wedding setup is a shuttle loop between a hotel block and the venue — give the exact venue address with the request and the right vehicle gets matched to it!
Yes — all of them. Austin Peay State University (601 College St, Clarksville, TN 37040) is the largest, with designated bus loading zones on College Street and Marion Street. The Clarksville-Montgomery County School System serves 40,000+ students across roughly 40 schools — including Northeast High School (3701 Trenton Rd), Rossview High School (1237 Rossview Rd), Clarksville High School (151 Richview Rd), West Creek High School (1210 West Creek Coyote Trail), and Northwest High School (800 Lafayette Rd).
Field trips and team travel are typically pickups at the school or campus itself. Student trips should include the exact headcount plus any chaperone or accessibility needs with the request so the right bus and configuration come back.
Yes — and Clarksville has a solid local circuit. Beachaven Vineyards & Winery is Tennessee's second oldest winery, with a tasting room, tours, and the Jazz on the Lawn series running spring through summer on Saturday evenings — about 5 miles from downtown. Old Glory Distilling Co. (1119 Dunlop Ln, Clarksville, TN 37040) is right down the road from Beachaven, making a natural two-stop loop.
Strawberry Alley Ale Works (120 Strawberry Alley, Clarksville, TN 37040) anchors the downtown craft beer scene. For casino trips, the nearest options are in Mississippi and Oklahoma — a charter bus is exactly the right call for those longer hauls. And Nashville's Lower Broadway honky-tonk district, 50 miles south, is one of the most popular nightlife destinations for Clarksville groups.
A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group stays at each stop — list the stops and how long you're planning at each one, and the hours will come back right.
Yes — absolutely. Groups travel from Clarksville to Nashville (~50 miles, ~50 minutes), Memphis (~180 miles, ~2.5 hours), Louisville, Kentucky (~130 miles, ~2 hours), Atlanta (~340 miles, ~5 hours), Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains (~290 miles, ~4.5 hours), St. Louis (~310 miles, ~4.5 hours), and Orlando (~800 miles, ~11–12 hours) for theme parks, beaches, and major events. Long-distance trips are usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day package rather than by the hour.
Overnight trips need the full itinerary — stops, overnight location, return timing — laid out with the request so it comes back priced and planned correctly. Call 931-377-1170 or fill out the form and see what the network has for your route!
