What Is a Charter Bus?

A charter bus is a large motorcoach that is rented for the exclusive, private use of a specific group for a particular trip or event. Unlike public buses that run on fixed routes and schedules, charter buses are hired specifically for your group's transportation needs. This type bus is specifically designed for long-distance travel with enhanced amenities and features.

Charter buses are typically 35 to 45 feet in length and seat between 47 and 56 passengers. They feature an elevated passenger deck with underfloor luggage compartments, forward-facing reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi connectivity, power outlets, luggage racks above the seats, and climate control systems. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) officially designates these vehicles as motorcoaches, defined as "a bus designed with an elevated passenger deck located over a baggage compartment".

The key distinction is that charter buses provide private, customizable transportation for your specific group, contrasting with public transit buses that run on fixed routes.
