Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Ontario, California

A charter bus is a large motorcoach rented by a private group to provide customized transportation for events, trips, or recurring services. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates on a route and timetable set entirely by the customer. It’s commonly used for school field trips, corporate outings, sports team travel, weddings, or multi-day tours. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and include amenities such as reclining seats, air conditioning, restrooms, and onboard entertainment systems.

Charter Bus Company Ontario offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets in Ontario and San Bernardino County, with vehicles ranging from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size charter buses. Specific models include Van Hool CX45 and TX40/45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500 and D4500/D4000 series, Setra S417/S407, TEMSA TS 30/35/45, Grech Motors GM40/GM36/EG40, Turtle Top Odyssey XL/XL Super Duty, and minibuses built on Ford E-Series, F-Series, or Freightliner chassis. We also offer ADA-accessible buses, party buses, sprinter vans, and specialty coaches for VIP or entertainer use. If you need a specific make, model, or color, we can accommodate your request.

Our charter buses come standard with plush, reclining seats; individual reading lights; strong air conditioning; overhead parcel racks; underfloor luggage bays; and a clean, onboard restroom. Most large coaches feature flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA system, and free WiFi with power outlets or USB ports at every row. Newer models may have HDMI inputs, Bluetooth audio, or even 110V outlets. Minibuses offer similar seating and climate control, with optional WiFi and sound systems. For longer trips, ask about extra monitors, tables, or custom branding inside the bus.

Yes—full-size charter buses have substantial luggage space both above the seats and below the main cabin. Each passenger can typically bring one large suitcase (up to 50 lbs) for the undercarriage bay and one smaller carry-on or backpack for the overhead compartment. The bays can handle sports equipment, band instruments, trade show materials, or multiple cases per person if needed. Minibuses have limited rear storage or space for smaller items but are suitable for day trips without heavy baggage. If your group has special cargo, inform us in advance so we can dispatch a bus with adequate capacity.
