About Knights Luxury Entertainer | Prevost Coaches with CDL Drivers
Knights 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 Harbour, 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 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
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.

Our Prevost Coach Fleet | 6 to 14 Bunk Configurations
Twenty-plus coaches sit in active rotation, sorted into three classes by chassis and trim.
Elite class runs on the Prevost X3-45 with 12-bunk capacity, double slide-outs, and a master suite at the rear. The Outlaw is our flagship Elite unit at $250 per day.
Premium class runs on the Prevost H3-45 with 10 to 12 bunks and single or double slide-outs. Two examples: Atlas (10 bunks, single slide, sofa-sleeper rear lounge, $180 per day) and Thunder (12 bunks, double slide, full rear lounge, $320 per day). The Premium tier handles most touring requests.
Standard class covers 6 to 10 bunk coaches without slide-outs, sized for solo artists and small crews.
Every coach in the fleet shares a core spec list:
- Galley with refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and dishwashing sink
- Bathroom with stand-up shower
- Private rear lounge or master suite (varies by class)
- Satellite TV, WiFi, and 110V outlets at every bunk
- AC and heat across all zones
Slide-outs matter for living space. Single-slide adds about 18 inches of width to the front lounge. Double-slide expands both the front and the mid-cabin. Triple-slide is available on select Elite units. Browse the full fleet by name, bunk count, and class. Pricing breaks down by class, season, and lease length.
Tour Bus Rental Pricing
Pricing for a Knights coach starts at $180 per day for the Atlas (Premium H3-45, 10 bunks) and runs to $320 per day for the Thunder (12 bunks, double slide). The Outlaw 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.

Why Touring Professionals Choose Knights
Six factors separate Knights 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 About Tour Bus Rental
An entertainer coach is a converted Prevost or MCI motorcoach with sleeping bunks, a galley, a bathroom, and a rear lounge, built for overnight travel between tour stops. Also called a sleeper bus, nightliner, or band bus. The crew sleeps as the coach drives, then wakes up parked at the next venue. Every Knights coach runs on the Prevost platform with 6 to 14 sleeping positions.
Yes. Every Knights rental includes a Class A or Class B holder with at least three years on entertainer coaches. Self-drive isn’t offered. The CDL requirement isn’t optional under federal law for any vehicle over 26,001 pounds carrying passengers for compensation.
Prevost is a Canadian motorcoach manufacturer that builds the chassis virtually every top-tier US entertainer coach is converted from. The two relevant platforms are the H3-45 (high-deck, 45-foot) and X3-45 (extruded aluminum, 45-foot). Touring crews ask for Prevost specifically because the build holds up to back-to-back overnight runs season after season, where cheaper platforms develop ride-quality decline within a few years.
We pick up and drop in any major US city across the 48 contiguous states. Highest-volume markets include Nashville, Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Las Vegas, Denver, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Washington DC, Austin, and Oklahoma City. Smaller markets get quoted with the deadhead distance shown upfront.
Rental is daily; lease is monthly or annual. Rental covers 1 to 30 days at the published rate against general fleet availability. Lease runs 1 to 12 months at reduced daily rates, locks in fleet priority, and assigns the same driver when scheduling allows. Pick rental for festival runs and fly dates. Pick lease for year-round campaigns and multi-month national tours.
Yes. Our trucking division runs enclosed trailers, box trucks, and flatbeds for backline gear, merchandise, and stage equipment. Books standalone or bundled with the coach package. Most acts above club-level capacity bundle both.
Bunk counts range from 6 to 14 sleeping positions. Standard class covers 6 to 8 bunks for solo artists and small crews. Premium class covers 10 to 12 bunks for most touring bands. Elite class covers 12 to 14 bunks for headlining tours and large production crews. Every coach also carries a separate rear lounge or master suite.
Direct booking removes the broker margin. Brokers add a markup on top of the operator’s rate, so the same coach costs less when booked direct. Brokers add value when an artist wants multiple operators bidding against each other. For a trusted operator on repeat business, going direct saves money on every leg.
Yes, if a coach is available. Bookings under 14 days out match to whatever fleet capacity is open in that window. Peak season (March through October) sells out faster, so summer 14-day windows rarely have Elite-class units free. For guaranteed coach selection, book 60-plus days ahead.
US DOT number, FMCSA registration, and a satisfactory FMCSA safety rating, plus active membership in the Entertainer Motorcoach Council. Drivers carry current DOT medical cards and stay enrolled in the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse. Every coach passes a pre-trip inspection before any tour leg.
