A charter bus is a large, private motorcoach rented by a group for exclusive use on a custom schedule and route. Unlike public transportation or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates entirely on the client’s itinerary, making it ideal for moving groups to events, meetings, schools, or multi-day trips. Modern charter buses seat 35–56 passengers, offer reclining seats, strong climate control, and can include amenities like Wi-Fi, power outlets, video monitors, and onboard restrooms. The rental includes the vehicle, driver, fuel, tolls, and basic insurance. Popular uses include corporate shuttles, wedding guest transportation, sports team travel, school field trips, airport transfers, and multi-day tours.

Most modern charter buses are 35 to 45 feet long, about 12 feet tall, and 8.5 feet wide. They have a flat front, large tinted windows, and smooth fiberglass or aluminum sides that can be painted white, black, silver, or custom colors. Many have stainless steel lower panels, LED marker lights along the roofline, and a destination sign above the windshield or entry door. The main entry door is just behind the front axle and opens outward or slides forward. Buses typically have three or four luggage bay doors below the windows on each side. Roof-mounted HVAC units, Wi-Fi antennas, and satellite domes are common. Larger models have three axles, with a tag axle behind the rear wheels. The overall look is clean, streamlined, and built for highway speed.

Most full-size charter buses seat 50 to 56 passengers. Common configurations include 47, 50, 52, 54, and 56 seats. Smaller “mid-size” coaches may have 36 to 40 seats, while larger double-decker or luxury models can hold up to 60. All seating is forward-facing. The exact capacity depends on the manufacturer, model, and whether the coach has an onboard restroom (which takes the space of two seats). For larger groups, multiple buses can be booked together. Smaller groups may prefer a minibus with 18 to 32 seats.

Anyone who needs to move a large group of people at once can rent a charter bus! Common customers include school districts like Valley View School District 365U for field trips to places like the Morton Arboretum or the Shedd Aquarium, wedding planners coordinating guest transportation between ceremony and reception venues in Bolingbrook, Romeoville, or Naperville, sports teams traveling to games and tournaments, corporate groups attending conferences or team-building events, church groups going on retreats or mission trips, and fans heading to concerts, festivals, or sporting events in Chicago. We also work with military organizations, senior citizen groups, and families planning reunions or vacation tours.

Charter Bus Rental Bolingbrook offers a full range of vehicles to suit any group size, including 18-passenger minibuses, 20- and 25-passenger mid-size buses, and 56-passenger full-size charter buses.

We proudly serve Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Lemont, Naperville, Joliet, and the entire Chicago area.

A charter bus (also called a coach bus or motorcoach) is a large, comfortable vehicle designed to transport groups of 35–56 people on trips of any distance. It offers forward-facing seats, luggage storage, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and restrooms. A party bus is a smaller vehicle (15–40 passengers) with a limo-style interior, perimeter seating, colored lights, sound system, and space to stand or dance—popular for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and nights out. An entertainer bus (or sleeper coach) is a custom motorcoach used by bands, performers, or VIPs on tour; it has bunk beds, a lounge, kitchen, bathroom with shower, and can sleep 8–12 people. A minibus is a smaller, lighter bus that seats 15–32 people; it’s used for short trips, shuttles, or small groups, with fewer amenities than a full-size coach.

Most modern charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, strong air conditioning and heating, overhead parcel racks, and large underfloor luggage bays. Standard amenities are reading lights, PA system, and one or two video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray input. Many coaches now offer free Wi-Fi (4G/5G cellular), 110V power outlets or USB ports at every row, and an onboard restroom at the rear. Optional upgrades include individual flat-screen monitors, HDMI input for laptops or gaming consoles, leatherette or cloth upholstery, and custom interior lighting. Onboard restrooms are standard on larger coaches. Additional options may include tray tables, footrests, and Bluetooth audio. Exterior luggage bays handle large bags, while overhead racks hold smaller items. Most amenities are included in the base price; Wi-Fi and power may be extra on some models. Just ask when booking.

Yes, most of our newer-model minibuses and full-size coaches can be equipped with WiFi upon request. Just let your reservation specialist know that your group will need internet access while on the road, and we’ll do our best to provide a bus with this amenity. The WiFi is perfect for checking email, browsing the web, or streaming music and video. However, because the connection relies on cellular networks, speeds may vary in rural areas or during heavy usage. If reliable WiFi is essential for your trip, please mention this when booking so we can assign a coach with the best available system.

A standard 56-passenger charter bus has enough luggage space for each passenger to bring one large suitcase plus a small carry-on bag. Large items are stored in undercarriage bays beneath the passenger cabin, while smaller bags can be placed in overhead racks inside the bus. If your group has extra luggage, sports equipment, or bulky items, please let us know in advance so we can arrange a larger vehicle or additional storage space.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, designated securement areas, and accessible restrooms. Many of our 18-, 20-, 25-, and 56-passenger models are available in ADA-compliant configurations. Please specify your accessibility needs—including number of mobility devices, seating requirements, and boarding assistance—when requesting a quote so we can assign the right vehicle. We regularly serve ADA-accessible groups across Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Naperville, and Chicago.

Yes, you can wrap your charter bus with a custom design, logo, or advertisement, but please contact our team in advance to discuss the details. Full or partial wraps are popular for corporate branding, sports teams, event promotions, and special occasions. The wrap must be professionally installed using approved materials to avoid damage to the bus’s paint and finish. You will be responsible for all costs associated with the installation and removal of the wrap. The wrap must be removed at the end of the rental, and any adhesive residue or damage will be subject to additional cleaning or repair fees. Please provide the design specifications and schedule for installation/removal when booking your bus so we can coordinate the logistics. Our team will work with you to ensure the wrap meets your needs while protecting the vehicle.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model, manufacturer, or exterior color when booking your charter bus. Our fleet includes vehicles from top brands like MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, Setra, and Temsa, available in standard colors such as white, black, silver, and gray. While we do our best to accommodate all requests, availability of specific models and colors may vary depending on the date, group size, and existing bookings. Please mention any preferences or requirements when requesting a quote, and we will do our best to provide a vehicle that meets your specifications. If your first choice is not available, we will offer the closest alternative from our fleet. For custom branding or special events, full or partial wraps can be arranged separately. Contact our team with your exact needs, and we’ll find the right coach for your trip.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Bolingbrook: the type and size of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), distance and duration of the trip, time of year (spring and fall are busiest), and any additional amenities requested (WiFi, PA system, custom wraps). Multi-day trips incur higher costs due to mileage and driver lodging. Tolls, parking, and fuel surcharges may be added.

It’s best to book your Bolingbrook bus rental as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sports events, so vehicles sell out quickly. For major events or large groups, book 6 to 12 months ahead. Last-minute bookings can be accommodated but may have limited vehicle selection and higher prices.

For multi-day trips or itineraries that require an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should offer secure parking for the bus and be located near the group’s lodging or event venue. Most clients book a room at the same hotel where the group is staying to simplify logistics. The driver’s room should be reserved in advance and included in the trip budget. For single-day trips or local charters, no accommodation is necessary. If you have questions about where to place the driver, our team can help coordinate suitable arrangements. Providing proper accommodations ensures the driver is well-rested and compliant with federal hours-of-service regulations.

Book early—at least 3 to 6 months in advance—to secure the best rates and vehicle selection. Have a detailed itinerary ready with addresses, times, and contact persons for each stop. Choose centralized pickup and drop-off locations with sufficient space for a large vehicle; popular spots in Bolingbrook include The Promenade, Bolingbrook Recreation & Aquatic Complex, and local high schools. Budget for tolls, parking, and driver gratuity (10–20%). Communicate special requests such as Wi-Fi, power outlets, or ADA accessibility when booking. For multi-day trips, arrange hotel accommodations for the driver. Stay flexible in case of traffic or schedule changes, especially when traveling on I-55 or I-355. Confirm all details with your provider a week before departure. Designate a group leader to coordinate with the driver during the trip. Bring snacks, water, and entertainment for longer journeys. Inspect the bus before departure to report any pre-existing damage. Follow the driver’s instructions for safety and compliance. Leave the bus clean and remove all belongings at the end of the trip.
