Purpose-Built for Large Group Travel

A charter bus (motorcoach) is a full-size coach that seats up to 56 passengers and is reserved for your group alone, with luggage bays underneath and room for long trips. Unlike standard city transit buses, charter buses are booked exclusively for your private group, so the itinerary is built entirely around your trip.

Whether for short distances or long-haul journeys, charter buses combine high-capacity efficiency with modern amenity options — making them a strong fit for organizing group transportation of almost any kind. Browse our full fleet or see all the services we cover.

How Much Does a Charter Bus Cost?

Here's an honest starting point: a full-size 56-passenger charter bus typically rents for about $1,300–$2,200 per day, and your driver is included in every charter quote. Shorter local trips may be billed hourly with a 4–5 hour minimum.

Your exact quote depends on trip distance and route, total hours or days, and the date — weekends and peak seasons see higher demand. Your quote spells out what's included for your trip and any other costs that apply. Need a smaller vehicle? Compare the minibus or Sprinter van.
