Charter Bus Rental Riverside, California

A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike public transit or pre-sold tour buses, charter buses operate exclusively for the client’s party—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, wedding party, or event attendees. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers, offer comfortable forward-facing seats, climate control, luggage storage, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi or video screens, and are operated by a driver.

Charter Bus Company Riverside offers a full range of vehicles from 15-passenger to 35-passenger minibuses to 40-, 47-, 50- and 56-passenger full-size charter buses, including several models with up to 60 or 62 seats. Available makes include Van Hool CX and TX series, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500 and D4500, Setra S417, Temsa HD/MD, and Grech Motors or Turtle Top minibus bodies on Ford and Freightliner chassis. Most vehicles are available in multiple colors (black, white, silver, custom) and newer-model coaches (2015 or later) are standard. Buses can be staged anywhere in Riverside County, including downtown, UCR, Arlington, La Sierra, or the Galleria at Tyler.

Most full-size buses include reclining cloth or leatherette seats, individual reading lights, strong roof air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, up to five flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, PA system, USB/power outlets at every row, and a full-size restroom mid-cabin. Many coaches offer 4G/5G Wi-Fi (with streaming-capable bandwidth), optional HDMI inputs, Bluetooth audio, and forward-facing seats. Premium coaches can upgrade to leather upholstery, hardwood-look flooring, seatback tray tables, or executive/luxury packages with custom interiors. Minibuses include forward-facing seats, strong A/C, and optional Wi-Fi or PA. Special requests—like custom branding, headrest covers, or beverage coolers—can often be accommodated.

Yes, all full-size charter buses have substantial luggage space both in overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and in large undercarriage luggage bays beneath the floor. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase or equipment bag (up to 50 lbs) for the undercarriage plus one carry-on or personal item for the overhead rack—similar to airline baggage allowances. Groups traveling with additional gear—such as sports teams with coolers, band or performing arts groups with bulky cases, or event planners with A/V equipment—should mention this when booking so we can recommend a coach with extra-large bays or arrange an additional support vehicle if needed. Minibuses have limited rear cargo space and are best for groups with light baggage.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Riverside can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, accessible restrooms, and space for mobility devices. Just ask your reservation specialist for an accessible coach when you call.
