Bus Rentals in Aurora, Illinois

A charter bus is a large, private motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized, prearranged transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike public buses or pre-sold tours, charter buses operate entirely at the direction of the client, making them ideal for moving groups to events, meetings, or multi-day destinations. They typically seat 40–56 passengers, include luggage bays and onboard amenities, and are commonly used for corporate outings, school trips, sports travel, weddings, or multi-city tours.

Charter Bus Company Aurora offers a full range of vehicles from 15 to 35-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, plus several party bus and specialty options. Our fleet includes popular models like the Grech Motors GM36, Turtle Top VT3, and Ford E450 minibus for smaller groups, and Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, Setra S417, and MCI J4500 coaches for larger groups. We can also provide 15-passenger Sprinter vans and custom party buses seating 20–40. Many vehicles are available in multiple colors (black, white, silver) and with upgraded interiors.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, PA system, 110V/USB power outlets, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, and a restroom. Many coaches now offer free onboard Wi-Fi and forward-facing seats with cloth or vinyl upholstery. Premium models may feature leatherette seating, larger video screens, Bluetooth audio, or optional tray tables. Minibuses typically have high-back seats, A/C, basic sound system, and limited luggage space but may also include Wi-Fi and USB charging. Exact amenities vary by vehicle size and model—just ask your reservation specialist!

Yes, all full-size charter buses have generous luggage space with both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage luggage bays below the floor. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase or equipment bag for the undercarriage plus one smaller carry-on or backpack for the overhead compartment. This is sufficient for most overnight or multi-day trips. Minibuses have overhead racks but limited rear cargo space—best for day trips or groups with light baggage. If you’re traveling with extra luggage, sports gear, or bulky items, let us know and we’ll recommend a vehicle that fits everything comfortably.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Aurora can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms upon request. Many of our newer full-size coaches are built to be fully ADA compliant, and we can also supply accessible minibuses for smaller groups. Just let us know your accessibility needs when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure your vehicle meets all requirements.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and fall are especially busy due to school trips, sports seasons, and weddings, so advance booking is critical. For major events or peak-season travel, reserve your bus 6 months ahead if possible. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be limited in vehicle selection and subject to higher rates.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost but can vary depending on the size of the trip and how far in advance you’re booking. Full payment is due 30 days before the departure date. If you book less than 30 days before your trip, the full balance will be due upfront. We accept credit cards, ACH transfers, and checks for payment. Your reservation specialist will provide a detailed payment schedule and invoice when you confirm your booking.

Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any tolls incurred during the trip. Not included are parking fees, entrance fees to attractions, meals, or lodging for the driver on overnight trips. For example, parking passes at venues like the United Center or Guaranteed Rate Field can cost $40–$60 and are the responsibility of the group. Additional expenses such as gratuity for the driver (typically 10–20%), cleaning fees for excessive mess, and any damages caused by passengers are also not included in the initial quote. Be sure to clarify any potential extra costs when booking.

Getting a quote is easy—just call our 24-hour reservations team at 331-998-9940 or use our online quote form.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model or color when you book with Charter Bus Company Aurora. We offer vehicles in black, white, blue, red, silver, grey, and even custom wraps for branding or special events. If you have a preference for a particular make or model—such as a Grech Motors minibus or a Prevost full-size coach—just let us know when you request a quote. We’ll do our best to accommodate your request based on fleet availability. For groups that require multiple vehicles, we can often provide matching colors or styles for a cohesive appearance. Special requests for custom wraps or branded signage should be made in advance and may incur additional fees.
