About Southeastern Stages

Southeastern Stages features a fleet of 40 modern buses with a high standard of passenger safety. Their buses were some of the first in the region to adopt vehicles with advanced collision avoidance technology, and Southern Stages has one of the largest fleets of ADA-compliant coaches in the Southeast. To keep the fleet up and running, Southeastern Stages takes pride in frequent, proactive maintenance schedules with trained and experienced technicians for every coach in their service.

In addition to superior safety features, Southeastern Stages offers various amenities for comfort and convenience, such as free Wi-Fi, reclining seats, overhead reading lights, and restrooms. Power outlets are also available in the majority of buses, and Southeastern Stages is working diligently to equip the remainder of the fleet.

Southeastern Stages Coach Guide & FAQs

Yes, Southeastern Stages offers WiFi on their coaches. Although most trips with Southeastern Stages will have WiFi as advertised, some coaches might not come equipped with WiFi and onboard WiFi can lose its connection in rural areas. We recommend you bring a book or download a movie just to play it safe. Southeastern Stages WiFi is generally best used for surfing the web, checking emails and chatting with friends; you shouldn’t count on the WiFi to binge-watch your favorite show.

Yes, there are power outlets onboard Southeastern Stages coaches. You can generally find one or two sockets per row of seats, so be a good traveller and check if your seat neighbor might want to charge up their devices as well. With the onboard power outlets, you can charge both a computer and USB devices with a USB power adapter that typically comes with most phones and tablets.

Since Southeastern Stages might sometimes use replacement coach vehicles, not all trips are guaranteed to have power points. We recommend to bring a power bank to charge your phone for all trips over 2 hours, just in case.

We also suggest packing a reusable water bottle with you to reduce your impact on the environment. However, note that most coaches do not allow you to bring your own alcoholic drinks.
