Charter Bus Rentals in Elmhurst

A charter bus is a private, pre-arranged motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on their schedule and itinerary. Unlike public transit or fixed-route services, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client’s party—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, wedding, or tour group—making pickups, drop-offs, and stops as requested. Modern charter buses seat 20 to 56 passengers, offer luggage storage, and feature amenities like Wi-Fi and restrooms. They’re commonly used for events, trips, shuttles, and long-distance travel.

Charter Bus Company Elmhurst offers a full fleet of vehicles in Elmhurst, including 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, 40- to 56-passenger full-size charter buses, and several party bus and specialty coach options. Available models include Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500/D4505/E4500, Setra S417, Temsa TS35, Grech Motors GM36/GM40, and Turtle Top VT3. We can provide multiple buses for large groups, split groups across several vehicles, or help you choose the best size based on your headcount and budget.

Most modern buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, luggage bays, overhead parcel racks, and at least one flat-screen video monitor. Larger coaches (40–56 passengers) typically offer DVD players, PA systems, onboard Wi-Fi, 110V or USB power outlets at each seat, and a restroom with toilet and hand sanitizer. Many newer models feature upgraded upholstery, headrests, footrests, and larger video screens. Premium coaches may have leatherette seating, multiple video monitors, Bluetooth audio, and optional beverage coolers. Exact amenities vary by coach size and model—ask your operator for a list of available features when booking.

Yes, all full-size (40–56 passenger) charter buses have generous luggage space. There are large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold standard suitcases, duffel bags, equipment cases, or coolers—typically one large bag per passenger. Inside the cabin, overhead parcel racks run along both sides of the aisle for carry-on items like backpacks, briefcases, or small roller bags. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size bag for the luggage bay and one smaller item for the overhead rack. Minibuses (15–32 passengers) have limited or no underfloor luggage space but do offer overhead racks and rear cargo areas for smaller bags.
