A charter bus is a large, professionally operated vehicle that’s rented by a group to travel together on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike a public bus or a Greyhound-style “scheduled” coach, a charter bus runs entirely on your timetable—making every stop you request, departing when you say, and staying with your group until the job is done. Charter buses are commonly used for corporate outings, school field trips, sporting events, weddings, concerts, and multi-day tours. They’re prized for their comfort, efficiency, and ability to keep large groups moving together safely.

Most modern charter buses are sleek, high-roofed vehicles about 40-45 feet long, with a rounded aerodynamic front, large tinted windows running the length of the cabin, and multiple storage bays below the floor. They typically ride on six wheels (three axles), sit high off the ground, and may have either a flat rear end or a gently sloping back window. Exterior colors are usually neutral—white, black, silver, or gray—but some coaches come in darker shades or custom colors. The sides are often smooth and unadorned, though company logos, decals, or full wraps are common.

Standard full-size charter buses seat anywhere from 50 to 57 passengers, with 56 seats being the most common configuration. Smaller “mini-coaches” can have as few as 20, 28, or 36 seats, while larger European-style models may squeeze in up to 60 by using slightly narrower seats and tighter spacing. Most operators offer several sizes to accommodate different group sizes; the seating capacity is always specified when you book. All seating is forward-facing and arranged in pairs on either side of a central aisle.

Anyone who needs to move a large group of people from one place to another can rent a charter bus. Common customers include schools (for field trips, athletic events, or campus shuttles), businesses (for corporate outings, conferences, or employee transportation), sports teams (for games and tournaments), wedding parties (for guest shuttles between venues), church groups, military units, senior citizen organizations, and tour operators running multi-day excursions. Charter buses are also frequently used for emergency evacuations, airport transfers, and transportation to concerts, festivals, or political rallies.

Charter Bus Rental Inglewood offers a full range of vehicles in Inglewood, including 18-passenger, 20-passenger, and 25-passenger minibuses; 28- to 35-passenger mid-size buses; and 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, and Temsa. Many models are available with different seating capacities to fit your group size and budget. We can also provide party buses (15–40 passengers), sprinter vans (10–15 passengers), and entertainer coaches (up to 12 sleeper bunks) for special events, VIP groups, or custom tours. If you need something specific, just ask—chances are we have it or can get it.

“Charter bus” and “coach bus” usually mean the same thing: a large, comfortable vehicle designed to carry 40–57 passengers on longer trips. A “party bus” is built for fun—it has limo-style seating around the walls, colored lights, a sound system, and room to stand or dance, but it’s not as comfortable for long highway rides. An “entertainer bus” (or “sleeper coach”) is built for rock bands and touring performers; it has bunk beds, a lounge, a kitchen, and maybe a shower, but less seating. It’s great for living on the road, but overkill for most groups.

Most modern charter buses come standard with reclining cloth or leatherette seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, and a clean onboard restroom. Additional amenities may include free Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at every seat, flat-screen video monitors (one to four per coach), DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth audio, and PA/microphone systems. On longer trips, groups can request upgraded “executive” coaches with leather seats, forward-facing tables, or even a rear lounge area. Larger baggage compartments below the floor handle all luggage at no extra charge. Many newer buses offer Wi-Fi and power outlets at every seat.

Yes, most newer charter buses offer onboard Wi-Fi, but it’s always good to confirm when booking. The Wi-Fi is fine for email, web browsing, and social media, but streaming video or joining Zoom calls may be slow if everyone tries it at once. That’s because the bus connects to the internet through a cellular network, and speed depends on the local signal. If your route goes through areas with weak cell coverage (like mountains or rural highways), the Wi-Fi may cut out. Some operators offer upgraded packages with more bandwidth for an extra fee. If reliable internet is essential, mention this when you book so you’re assigned a coach with the best available system.

A standard 56-passenger charter bus has enough luggage space for everyone to bring a full-size suitcase plus a carry-on bag. There are large baggage compartments under the floor (called “underfloor bays” or “belly boxes”) that can hold 50–60 roller bags, and smaller items can go in overhead racks inside the cabin. If everyone packs like they’re flying on an airline, there will be room for all the bags. For groups bringing extra gear—like sports teams with equipment, musicians with cases, or skiers with boots and poles—let the operator know in advance. They can often fit bulky items, but very large loads may require a trailer or second vehicle.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible charter buses in Inglewood and any other city we serve. These coaches are equipped with a wheelchair lift at one of the doors, space inside for one or two wheelchairs to be secured during the trip, and an accessible restroom. The lift is strong enough for powered chairs and mobility scooters as well as manual wheelchairs. When booking, specify exactly what you need—how many passengers use mobility devices, whether anyone can transfer to a regular seat, and any other requirements—so the right vehicle is assigned. There’s usually no extra charge for an ADA-accessible coach, but it’s important to request it early since not every bus has a lift.

Yes, you can wrap a charter bus with your company logo, event branding, or custom artwork, but there are additional fees and requirements. Full wraps (covering the entire bus) and partial wraps (side panels or rear only) are both available. You’ll need to provide high-resolution artwork, and all designs must be approved in advance. Wrapping adds to the cost of your rental and requires extra time for installation—plan on several days before and after your trip. Wraps are popular for sports teams, corporate events, and promotional tours. Ask about pricing and specifications when you request your quote.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model, manufacturer, or exterior color, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your preference. Popular models include the Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, and Temsa HD, each available in multiple seating configurations. Exterior colors typically include white, black, silver, gray, or custom wraps for branding. While we maintain a large and diverse fleet, availability of specific models or colors may vary based on the date, group size, and advance notice. If your request is essential—such as matching corporate branding or ensuring uniformity for a multi-bus charter—please mention this when booking. We’ll confirm availability or suggest the closest alternative.

Charter bus rentals in Inglewood typically cost between $1,000 and $4,000 per day or more, depending on the size of the vehicle, the length of the trip, and the time of year. Pricing is usually based on either mileage (for longer trips) or hours (for local charters), with a minimum charge that covers the first few hours or miles. Additional costs may include tolls, parking, and driver lodging for overnight trips. The best way to get an accurate price is to request a quote with all the details of your trip. Rates are higher during busy seasons (spring and fall) and lower at other times of year.

Minibus rentals in Inglewood generally cost less than full-size coaches, with typical rates ranging from $600 to $1,500 per day. Smaller vehicles (20–30 seats) are priced by the hour for local trips or by the mile for longer runs. There’s a minimum charge that covers several hours or a set distance. Extras like tolls and parking are billed separately. Minibuses are popular for airport transfers, wedding shuttles, and short-distance charters. Get a quote to see exact pricing for your trip.

Several factors affect the price of a charter bus rental: the size of the bus (larger coaches cost more), the distance traveled (longer trips are more expensive), the duration of the trip (multi-day charters cost more than single-day), and the time of year (rates are higher during peak seasons). Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, and driver lodging on overnight trips. Special requests—like a wrapped bus with custom graphics—will also increase the cost. The best way to get an exact price is to request a quote with all the details of your trip.

Your quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, insurance, and all mileage or hours for the trip as described. Tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging (for overnight trips) are usually extra. There are no hidden fees—everything is itemized up front. Optional add-ons like Wi-Fi, video screens, or a wrapped bus can be included if requested. Gratuity for the driver is not included in the base price but is customary at the end of the trip.

It’s best to book your charter bus as far in advance as possible—ideally several months before your trip, especially if you’re traveling during a busy season (spring or fall), need multiple buses, or have special requirements (like an ADA-accessible coach). Last-minute bookings are possible if there’s availability, but you’ll have fewer options and may pay higher rates. Once you know your date and itinerary, request a quote and lock in the reservation with a deposit.

You can get an instant quote by calling our 24-hour reservations team at 424-800-6390 or by using the online quote form on our website.

If you have a complex itinerary or need multiple buses, it may take a little longer to prepare an accurate estimate.

Yes, we offer flexible packages for one-way trips, round trips, and multi-day charters. One-way rentals are common for airport transfers, cruise departures, or groups traveling to a single destination. Round-trip packages are ideal for events where the group returns the same day. Multi-day charters are available for out-of-town events, tours, or any itinerary requiring the bus to stay with the group overnight. The pricing structure is clear and easy to understand.

Yes, we can provide long-distance and even out-of-state transportation to anywhere your group needs to go. Whether you need a bus to San Francisco, Las Vegas, San Diego, Phoenix, or beyond, our team will help you get you a comfortable ride for the long haul. We can even provide multi-day transportation for events like multi-day conferences, tournaments, or vacations.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you will need to provide hotel accommodations for your driver. Most groups book a room at the same hotel where they are staying. The hotel should have parking available for the bus or be able to recommend a nearby lot. For longer trips, the driver may need a room each night. This cost is not included in the base price of the rental.

Book early to get the best choice of vehicles and rates. Have all your details ready when requesting a quote: exact pickup and drop-off addresses, times, number of passengers, and any special needs. Ask about amenities like Wi-Fi and power outlets. Make sure there’s a place for the bus to park at your destination. Budget for tolls, parking, and driver gratuity. Confirm the cancellation policy and payment schedule. Communicate any changes to your itinerary as soon as possible.
