About Knights Coaches | Prevost Coaches with CDL Drivers

Knights Coaches operates a fleet of over 20 custom-converted Prevost coaches built for overnight touring. Each unit runs on a Prevost H3-45 or X3-45 chassis, the same platforms used by Dreamliner, Pioneer Coach, and the rest of the top-tier US operators. Our base sits in Nashville, Tennessee, with secondary positioning around our National Harbor, MD office.

Drivers hold a Class A or Class B CDL, carry a clean DOT medical card, and bring at least three years on entertainer coaches . Every driver enrolls in the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse. Knights Coaches holds active membership in the Entertainer Motorcoach Council and maintains a satisfactory FMCSA safety rating.

So what does that mean for a tour manager? Routes get planned by people who already know which truck stops have parking for a 45-foot coach. Breakdowns get a dispatcher on the phone within minutes. More detail lives on the about. What we offer breaks into three core services.

Tour Bus Rental Services Across the USA — Knights Coaches

Tour Bus Rental Services Across the USA

Services split into three lines: short-term rental, long-term leasing, and tour trucking. Most clients combine at least two.

Nationwide rental covers single-date pickups through 30-day legs. Pickup and drop in any major US city, and the coach travels with you for the full run. Useful for festival circuits, summer fly-dates, and one-off promo runs. Details on the nationwide rentals page.

Entertainer coach leasing runs from 1 to 12 months at reduced daily rates. Lease clients get first pick of the fleet, guaranteed coach assignments, and same-driver continuity when scheduling allows. The structure suits artists on extended national tours, year-round political campaigns, and production companies running multi-month shoots. Lease terms sit on the leasing page.

Tour trucking moves backline gear, merchandise, and stage equipment alongside the coach. The trucking fleet includes enclosed trailers, box trucks, and flatbeds suited to loads of any scale. Books standalone or bundled with a coach package.

Tour Bus Rental Pricing — Knights Coaches

Tour Bus Rental Pricing

Pricing for a Knights coach starts at $180 per day for the Edward (twelve bunks) and runs to $320 per day for the Henry (12 bunks, single slide-out). The Arthur Elite sits at $250 per day . Daily rates include the driver, fuel surcharge calculation, and standard insurance.

Three factors move the price:

  • Bunk count and slide configuration: larger coaches with more slides sit at the top of the rate card
  • Season: peak demand runs March through October and books out fastest
  • Lease length: 30-plus day rentals carry reduced daily rates, and multi-month leases drop further

What’s not in the rate: tolls, venue parking fees, deadhead miles outside the standard pickup radius, and any extras the artist requests in advance. Those line items show on the contract before signing.

Every quote lists the daily rate, expected mileage, fuel basis, and any add-ons in one line-by-line breakdown. What sits inside that rate stays consistent across the fleet.

What’s Included in Every Rental

Each rental ships with the same core inclusions, regardless of class or lease length. Six factors separate Knights Coaches from the broader entertainer coach market.

  • Prevost-only fleet

    Every coach runs on the H3-45 or X3-45 chassis. No MCI, no Setra, no van conversions. The platform is the industry default for overnight touring because it absorbs 12-plus hour driving days without the suspension fatigue that hits cheaper builds after a few seasons.

  • 24/7 dispatch

    Tours break down at 3 AM. Routes change mid-leg when a venue cancels. Our line answers either call in minutes.

  • EMC member

    Membership in the Entertainer Motorcoach Council carries safety, insurance, and service standards that exceed DOT minimums.

  • CDL drivers with entertainer experience

    A clean license alone doesn’t qualify someone to drive a coach with 12 sleeping passengers through a winter mountain pass. Three years on entertainer-specific routes does.

  • 48-state coverage

    Pickup and drop in any major US city: Nashville, LA, NYC, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Las Vegas, Denver, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Washington DC, and dozens more.

  • Same-driver continuity on leases

    Multi-month lease clients keep the same driver when scheduling allows. Booking starts with a short four-step process.

Frequently asked questions

We operate across all 48 contiguous states with pickup and drop-off in any major US city. Hawaii and Alaska fall outside the operational footprint because no commercial route accommodates a 45-foot Prevost.

Every quote is built from four components: the daily coach-and-driver rate, a fuel surcharge on actual mileage, the deadhead from our nearest positioning hub, and the return deadhead — each shown line by line on the contract.

The deadhead is the distance our coach travels from its nearest positioning hub to your pickup city (and back at tour end), billed at a reduced rate that does not include the full daily charge.

Our fleet concentrates in Nashville, Tennessee and the Mid-Atlantic region, which puts a coach within a half-day drive of most major venue corridors east of the Mississippi.

Yes, case-by-case. Cross-border runs require the chauffeur to carry a valid passport, advance customs documentation, and the appropriate CBSA paperwork. The quote includes the extra administrative time and any brokerage fees.

Yes. Our tour trucking package moves backline, merch and production gear in enclosed trailers, box trucks or flatbeds traveling alongside the coach — single-source coordination on one contract.

Bookings made 60-plus days out get first-pick fleet selection. Last-minute requests under 14 days book against remaining availability, with peak season (March through October) tightening windows further.

It depends on daily mileage and DOT hours-of-service limits. Each quote includes a one-driver-or-two recommendation for the distances your routing involves.
