Bus Rentals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A charter bus is a large, comfortable vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations. Unlike public buses with fixed routes, charter buses operate on a schedule and itinerary set by the client. They are commonly used for school trips, corporate events, weddings, sports team travel, and multi-day tours. Modern charter buses offer amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, and entertainment systems to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey.

Charter Bus Company Philadelphia offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Philadelphia, including vehicles from 15 to 56 passengers. Our fleet includes 15-passenger, 20-passenger, 25-passenger, 30-passenger, 35-passenger, 40-passenger, 45-passenger, 50-passenger, and 56-passenger buses. We offer buses from top manufacturers such as Van Hool, Prevost, Setra, MCI (Motor Coach Industries), and Temsa. We also provide several different models of minibuses, party buses, and entertainer coaches to accommodate groups of any size. Our team can help you choose the best vehicle for your trip based on your group size, budget, and desired amenities.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, PA systems, DVD players with flat-screen monitors, and a restroom. Many newer coaches offer Wi-Fi and 110V/USB power outlets at each seat. Optional amenities can include leather upholstery, tray tables, footrests, and custom branding. Minibuses typically have similar seating and A/V features but lack a restroom or large baggage space. Specific amenities vary by vehicle, so please ask when booking.

Yes, our Philadelphia charter buses have ample luggage space for your group’s belongings. Full-size motorcoaches are equipped with large undercarriage luggage bays that can accommodate bulky items such as suitcases, equipment cases, or musical instruments. Additionally, there are overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for smaller bags and personal items. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one large bag for the luggage bay and one carry-on item for the overhead compartment. If you have special luggage requirements—such as sports gear, presentation materials, or oversized items—please let us know when booking so we can recommend a vehicle that meets your needs. Our team is experienced in handling groups with extra baggage and will ensure everything is stored safely and efficiently.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Philadelphia. The size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach) is a primary factor, as larger buses generally cost more. Trip duration and distance also play a role—longer trips or multi-day rentals will be more expensive. Timing matters too; rates can be higher during peak travel seasons or when major events like sports games, concerts, or conventions are happening in the city. Additional costs may include tolls, parking, and driver accommodations for overnight trips. Finally, any special requests for amenities or custom scheduling can impact the overall price. For the most accurate pricing, it’s best to get a personalized quote based on your specific trip details.
