A charter bus (also called a motorcoach) is a large vehicle designed to transport 40-56 passengers over long distances. These buses are perfect for moving big groups comfortably because they have cushioned seats that recline, overhead storage racks, undercarriage luggage bays, restrooms, air conditioning, reading lights, power outlets, WiFi, TV monitors, DVD players, and PA systems. Charter buses are commonly used for school trips, sports teams, corporate events, weddings, conventions, and multi-day tours. They can travel anywhere in California—from local destinations like Riverside or Los Angeles to out-of-state trips to Las Vegas or Phoenix.
A minibus is a smaller shuttle bus that typically seats 15 to 35 people. It’s great for short trips around town, airport transfers, hotel shuttles, or moving small groups between venues. Minibuses are easier to maneuver and park than full-size charter buses, making them ideal for navigating busy streets or tight parking lots. They usually have cushioned seats, air conditioning, overhead storage, and sometimes WiFi or power outlets. Popular uses include wedding shuttles, corporate commuter routes, church outings, and private tours of local attractions like the Jurupa Mountains Discovery Center.
Most charter buses have between 47 and 56 seats. The exact number depends on the model and interior layout. For example, a standard MCI J4500 or Prevost H3-45 has 56 seats, while some Van Hool or Setra coaches might have 50 or 52 seats. These buses are best for large groups traveling together—like school bands, sports teams, or conference attendees. If you need something smaller, we also offer minibuses that seat anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers.
Minibuses typically seat between 18 and 35 passengers. Common sizes include 20-passenger, 24-passenger, 28-passenger, and 32-passenger models. These are perfect for mid-sized groups who want to stay together without renting a full-size charter bus. They’re popular for wedding shuttles, corporate training sessions, youth sports teams, and family reunions. If you’re not sure what size you need, just tell us your headcount and we’ll match you with the right vehicle.
Our fleet includes several types of buses to fit any group size: Full-size charter buses (47-56 seats), minibuses (15-35 seats), party buses (10-40 seats), sprinter vans (10-15 seats), and specialty vehicles like entertainer coaches or ADA-accessible buses. We carry top brands like MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, and Ford Transit. Whether you need a 56-passenger motorcoach for a school trip or a 20-passenger minibus for a corporate shuttle, we have the right option for you.
Our buses come with a variety of amenities to keep riders comfortable and entertained. Standard features include reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, reading lights, and tinted windows. Most charter buses have onboard restrooms, multiple TV monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, PA systems, free WiFi, and power outlets or USB ports at every seat. Minibuses may also offer WiFi and charging ports. If you need something specific—like extra luggage space, tables for playing cards, or a microphone for guided tours—just ask when you book.
Many of our buses are equipped with sound systems that allow you to play your own music through AUX, Bluetooth, or USB connections. Charter buses often have a central audio system that can connect to your phone, tablet, or laptop. Minibuses and party buses usually have similar setups. If playing custom playlists is important for your trip, please mention this when booking so we can reserve a vehicle with the right audio capabilities. We want your group to enjoy the ride with their favorite tunes.
Charter buses offer the most luggage space, with large undercarriage bays that can hold up to 200 cubic feet of baggage—enough for each passenger to bring a full-size suitcase and a carry-on. There are also overhead racks inside the cabin for smaller items like backpacks or jackets. Minibuses have limited storage, usually overhead shelves and a small rear compartment, suitable for gym bags or briefcases but not large suitcases. If your group has lots of equipment—like musical instruments, sports gear, or trade show displays—let us know so we can recommend a bus with enough capacity.
Yes, we provide ADA-accessible buses with features like wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, priority seating, and accessible restrooms. These are available in both charter bus and minibus configurations. If anyone in your group has mobility challenges, please specify your accessibility needs when requesting a quote. We are committed to making sure everyone can travel safely and comfortably. Accessible buses are available at no extra charge, but advance notice helps us ensure availability.
Yes, you can wrap your charter bus with custom graphics for branding, advertising, or special events. Full wraps cover the entire exterior, while partial wraps or decals can be applied to specific areas. This is popular for corporate sponsors, political campaigns, sports teams, and parade floats. You will need to provide the artwork and cover the cost of installation and removal. Please coordinate with us in advance so we can schedule the bus for wrapping before your trip.
You can request a specific bus model, make, or color, and we will do our best to accommodate your preference based on fleet availability. Some groups prefer all-white or all-black buses for formal events, while others want a particular brand like Prevost or Grech because of past experience. If you have a strong preference—whether it’s for aesthetic reasons or matching multiple vehicles—we recommend booking early to increase the chances of getting exactly what you want.

Several factors influence the price of a bus rental: type and size of bus, trip distance, duration, number of days, time of year, and any special requests. Peak seasons like spring break, summer, and holidays tend to be more expensive due to high demand. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, driver lodging on overnight trips, or extra amenities. Providing a detailed itinerary helps us give you the most accurate quote. Booking early can also lock in lower rates before schedules fill up.
Your quote includes the bus, driver, mileage, fuel, and standard amenities like WiFi and power outlets. It does not cover optional expenses such as parking fees, road tolls, gratuity for the driver (typically 10-20%), or lodging for the driver if the trip requires an overnight stay. There are no hidden charges—everything will be clearly outlined in your contract. If you need additional services like multiple pickups, extra stops, or special equipment, let us know so we can include everything upfront.
We recommend booking your bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—especially if your trip is during peak season (spring, summer, or major holidays). This gives you the best selection of vehicles and the lowest rates. Last-minute reservations are accepted and we can often find you a bus with just a few days’ notice, but availability may be limited. Large events like weddings, proms, or tournaments should secure transportation once the date is set.
Yes, we offer flexible packages to suit any itinerary: one-way transfers, round trips, and multi-day charters. One-way rentals are great for airport drop-offs or relocating groups to another city. Round trips cover same-day excursions with pickup and return. Multi-day packages keep the bus and driver with your group for extended tours, conferences, or out-of-state travel. Tell us your schedule and we’ll customize the service to match—whether it’s shuttling back and forth all weekend or staying overnight at a destination.
