1

What Is a Charter Bus?

A charter bus is a private vehicle that’s rented by a group for a specific period of time. They are used for many different purposes, such as long-distance trips, business meetings, sporting events, weddings, family reunions, and more. Charter buses are often the most cost-effective and efficient way to travel with a group.

2

What Does a Charter Bus Look Like?

Charter buses are usually full-sized motorcoaches that are about 40 feet long. They’re usually white, black, or blue, but some have a more colorful design. They’re usually marked with the logo of the company that operates them, but some may be unmarked. If you’d like to book a bus without any logos, just let us know when you call.

3

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

The terms “charter bus” and “coach bus” are often used interchangeably. While a coach bus typically refers to a specific bus model (e.g., MCI or Prevost), “charter bus” can refer to a coach bus, minibus, or any bus you rent for a private group trip.

4

How Many Seats Are on a Charter Bus?

Full-size charter buses typically seat up to 56 passengers, but smaller buses are also available. Most minibus rentals can accommodate anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers, depending on the model.

How many passengers can fit on a charter bus?

Depending on the type of bus you rent, your passenger count may range from 15 to 56 people. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most popular charter bus rental sizes:

  • 15- to 35-passenger minibuses
  • 47-passenger charter buses

    What kind of amenities are available on your Bryan charter buses?

    Charter buses and minibuses can come equipped with a variety of amenities to keep your group comfortable. Full-size charter bus rentals can include amenities like WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, flatscreen TVs, an onboard restroom, and a large luggage bay under the bus. Minibuses may include most of these amenities, but they won’t have a restroom or large luggage bay. If you’re traveling with a large group that has a lot of luggage, we recommend booking a full-size charter bus rental. If you have a smaller group traveling light, a minibus will be your best option.
