Charter Bus Rentals in Glenview, Illinois

A charter bus is a large, professionally operated motorcoach rented by a private group to provide custom, pre-arranged transportation on a schedule and route of the group’s choosing. Unlike a public bus or scheduled intercity service, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, wedding party, or any other organization—and can make one-way, round-trip, or multi-stop journeys of any distance. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and include amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional Wi-Fi or video monitors.

Charter Bus Company Glenview offers a full range of vehicles from 15- to 35-passenger minibuses to 55- to 56-passenger full-size charter buses, plus party buses (10–40 passengers) and several models of 18- to 30-seat sprinter vans. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, and Mercedes-Benz. Many vehicles are available in multiple exterior colors (black, white, silver, custom wrap) and can be configured with standard or upgraded interiors.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, a restroom, and up to five flat-screen video monitors with DVD/USB inputs. Optional amenities include Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at every row, public address systems, Bluetooth audio, and custom seating layouts. Minibuses typically have high-back cloth or vinyl seats, basic A/C, and luggage space but may not include a restroom or video monitors. Premium coaches can be ordered with leatherette upholstery, wood-look flooring, LED accent lighting, and upgraded sound systems.

Yes, all full-size charter buses and most larger minibuses have dedicated luggage space both inside and outside the passenger cabin. Each passenger can typically bring one large suitcase or duffel bag (up to 50 lbs.) for the undercarriage bay and one smaller carry-on item (backpack, tote, briefcase) for the overhead parcel rack above their seat. For trips where every passenger brings both a large and a small bag, a standard 56-passenger coach will accommodate everyone’s luggage without difficulty. Oversize items such as skis, band instruments, or athletic gear can also be stored in the luggage bays, though advance notice is appreciated.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Glenview can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Many of our 35- to 56-passenger coaches are available in ADA-compliant versions that can accommodate one or two passengers in wheelchairs alongside ambulatory passengers. Smaller minibuses (20–35 seats) can also be ordered with a rear or side lift for groups that require accessible transportation but do not need a full-size coach. Please specify your accessibility requirements when requesting a quote so we can assign a suitable vehicle.
