What Is a Charter Bus?

A charter bus is a private motorcoach that is booked by a group for exclusive use. Your charter bus will be driven by a driver and follow a schedule according to your itinerary. These buses are often used by large groups for business events, school trips, sporting events, and more.

2

What Does a Charter Bus Look Like?

Charter buses are full-sized coaches, usually with a rounded front and large, dark windows. These buses are usually white or black, but may also come in other colors, such as red or blue. They are also typically adorned with the bus company’s logo.

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

There is no difference between a coach bus and a charter bus. Both terms refer to the same type of bus—a private bus rented by a group of people.

4

How Many Seats Are on a Charter Bus?

Charter buses usually have between 55 and 56 seats. These buses are usually the largest option offered by most bus companies. Some buses may have a few more or a few less seats, but this is the most common seating capacity for full-sized charter buses.

How many passengers can fit on a charter bus?

A full-size charter bus can seat up to 56 passengers, while a minibus typically seats 18 to 25 passengers.

Do your charter buses come with restroom facilities?

Most full-size charter buses come with a restroom at the rear of the bus. However, if you’re renting a minibus, it may not have a restroom. If your group will need a restroom on board, be sure to let our team know so we can find a bus that has one.

What factors should I consider when renting a charter bus in Fort Wayne?

When you’re renting a charter bus, you should consider your group size, your itinerary, and your budget.
