Whether you’re organizing a group outing to outlet malls, downtown boutiques, or a major retail destination, our charter buses make the journey as enjoyable as the shopping itself. No need to juggle multiple cars, navigate traffic, or fight for parking spots—everyone travels together in comfort and style, arriving refreshed and ready to explore.

Coordinating transportation for a group can quickly become complicated, especially in busy retail areas. With Great Lakes Motor Coach, your entire group stays together on a single schedule, eliminating the hassle of meeting points and lost time. Our professional drivers handle all the details—from navigating city streets to managing parking—so passengers can sit back, chat, and focus on the fun ahead.

Inside our modern, spacious charter buses, every ride feels like part of the experience. Guests enjoy plush reclining seats, climate control, and optional amenities such as Wi-Fi, entertainment systems, and onboard restrooms. Whether you’re headed to a nearby shopping center or planning a full-day retail tour, our coaches offer the perfect balance of comfort and convenience.

Another major advantage of choosing Great Lakes Motor Coach is the generous storage capacity.

The Vintage Car Club of Holland just returned from an overnight trip. It was amazing! Your bus was perfect and your driver, Joe Seidl, was extraordinary. He took really good care of us. Everything about the trip was perfect and his service was paramount. You’ve earned our admiration and repeat business.

Great Lakes Motorcoach was a pleasure to work with! I dealt with Lindsay mostly and she was knowledgeable and helpful from the first time we spoke.
I was in charge of the buses for our SW Michigan Destination Wedding and GLM could not have made it any easier. I had a lot on my mind and Lindsay's planning and clear communication set my mind at ease. Although I didn't personally ride on the bus, all reports were positive and in the end, all of my guests were picked up when and where they were supposed to be picked up from and were dropped off when and where they were supposed to be dropped off!
Lindsay and GLM delivered the service they promised and that gave me peace of mind to focus on my toast! Thank you!

Thank you, Rich, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Lindsay provided exceptional service for your wedding transportation. Your peace of mind is our priority, and we appreciate your trust in us.
