What Is a Charter Bus?

A charter bus is a large vehicle designed to transport groups of people together over short or long distances. They are sometimes referred to as “motorcoaches” and can be used for various purposes, such as weddings, corporate outings, sports events, and more. Each charter bus comes with a driver who handles all navigation and logistics during your trip.

2

What Does a Charter Bus Look Like?

Most full-size charter buses feature a white or black exterior, with large tinted windows and luggage bays underneath. The interior typically includes reclining seats, overhead storage bins, and various amenities such as WiFi, power outlets, and a restroom. The exact look of your charter bus will depend on the model and year, but you can expect a clean, comfortable, and modern vehicle.

3

What is the difference between a coach bus and a charter bus?

The terms “charter bus” and “coach bus” are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference. A coach bus refers to a type of large vehicle designed for long-distance travel, while a charter bus is a coach bus that has been rented out for private use. So, when you rent a charter bus, you are essentially renting a coach bus for your group’s exclusive use.

Most full-size charter buses can seat up to 56 passengers, but there are smaller options available as well. Mini buses, for example, can seat anywhere from 18 to 25 passengers. When you call our reservation team, we can help you determine the best bus size for your group based on your headcount and needs.

How many passengers can fit on a charter bus?

Full-size charter buses can typically accommodate up to 56 passengers, making them ideal for large groups or long-distance trips.
