Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Upland

A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together for private trips, events, or tours. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, charter buses operate on custom itineraries set by the customer, making them ideal for school outings, corporate events, sports team travel, weddings, and multi-day excursions. These vehicles typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and offer amenities such as reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, and entertainment systems.

Charter Bus Company Upland offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets in Upland and San Bernardino County, with vehicles ranging from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size charter buses. Popular models include the Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, and Temsa TS35E—all available in multiple colors. We also provide ADA-accessible coaches, party buses, sprinter vans, and specialty vehicles for VIP or executive travel. If you need something specific, we can usually accommodate requests for particular makes, models, or custom wraps.

Most modern charter buses feature high-back reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, climate control, and ample luggage storage both overhead and under the cabin. Standard amenities include free WiFi, power outlets or USB ports at each row, flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, and a PA system for group communication. Many coaches have an onboard restroom at the rear of the bus. Additional options may include tray tables, hardwood-style flooring, LED accent lighting, and even seatback monitors on select models.

Yes, charter buses are designed to handle large amounts of luggage for group travel. Each bus has spacious undercarriage bays (“below the bus” storage) that can accommodate full-size suitcases, equipment cases, or musical instruments. Inside the cabin, there are overhead parcel racks above the seats for smaller bags, backpacks, or personal items. As a general rule, each passenger can bring one large suitcase for the baggage bay and one carry-on item for the overhead compartment. If your group has extra-large or unusual cargo, let us know in advance so we can dispatch a bus with maximum storage capacity.
