Bus Rentals in Fontana, California

A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together for private events, trips, or functions. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates on a custom itinerary set by the renting party, making it ideal for school trips, corporate outings, sports team travel, weddings, and multi-day tours. Charter buses typically seat anywhere from 40 to 56 passengers and come equipped with various onboard amenities for comfort and convenience.

Charter Bus Company Fontana offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets in Fontana and San Bernardino County, with vehicles ranging from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size charter buses. Specific models include Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, Temsa TS35E, Grech Motors GM40, Turtle Top Odyssey XL, and more. We also have party buses (20–50 passengers), entertainer coaches (sleeper buses for bands), school buses, and ADA-accessible buses. Many vehicles are available in black, white, or custom colors.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, onboard restroom, luggage bays, overhead parcel racks, PA system, multiple flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, and WiFi. Some models offer 110V power outlets or USB ports at every row, HDMI input for gaming consoles, LED accent lighting, hardwood-style flooring, tray tables, and cup holders. Minibuses may have slightly fewer features but usually include A/C, comfortable seating, audio system, and optional WiFi. Party buses feature wraparound seating, sound system, LED lighting, and space for coolers.

Overhead compartments inside the cabin are suitable for carry-on bags, backpacks, or smaller items. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase for the luggage bay and one smaller bag for the overhead rack. Minibuses have limited luggage space either in rear storage area or overhead shelves, depending on the model.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental: size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. motorcoach), length of trip (hours or days), total mileage, pickup and drop-off locations, time of year (peak season rates), and availability during major events (Auto Club 400, Route 66 Cruisin’ Reunion, sports playoffs). Additional services such as out-of-state travel, tolls, parking fees, or special amenities may also affect the final price. Booking early can help secure better rates, especially during busy periods.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance for large events or trips during peak seasons (spring and summer). For standard trips, booking 1 to 2 months ahead is usually sufficient. Last-minute rentals are possible, but availability may be limited, especially during major events like races at the Auto Club Speedway or regional sports tournaments. Early booking ensures the best selection of vehicles and more favorable rates.

Flexible payment plans may be available for large or recurring contracts. Please contact our office for specific terms related to your booking.
