FAQS

A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together on the same itinerary. It features forward-facing seats, a center aisle, and space for luggage storage. Charter buses are used for private group travel such as corporate events, school trips, weddings, sports team transportation, and more.

A charter bus typically has between 18 and 56 seats, depending on the model and configuration. Standard full-size charter buses seat 50 to 56 passengers, while smaller minibuses or mid-size coaches may seat 18, 20, or 25 passengers. The exact number of seats varies by manufacturer and floor plan.

The outside of a charter bus is a long, rectangular vehicle with large windows along each side, multiple axles with six wheels, and a high roofline. It has a front entry door located behind the driver’s seat, smooth body panels, and exterior luggage bays below the passenger windows. Most charter buses are painted white or black, but custom colors and graphics are available.

The inside of a charter bus features rows of cushioned, forward-facing seats with armrests and headrests, a central aisle running from front to back, and overhead storage compartments above the seats. There are video monitors mounted at the front and throughout the cabin, individual reading lights and air vents, and a restroom located at the rear of the coach. The interior is finished with durable fabrics, vinyl, or leatherette upholstery, and carpeting or vinyl flooring.
