Wheaton Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a private, pre-arranged vehicle rental that transports groups of people to and from specific destinations on a schedule you set. Unlike public transportation or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates entirely on your itinerary, making it ideal for events like corporate outings, school trips, weddings, sports team travel, or multi-day excursions. Buses typically seat anywhere from 20 to 56 passengers and come equipped with amenities designed for comfort on longer journeys.

Charter Bus Company Wheaton offers a full fleet of buses in Wheaton, including 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, 40- to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, and several 18- to 30-passenger party buses. Our vehicles include models from Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, and Ford—so you can always get exactly the size and style of bus your group needs. Many larger coaches are available in multiple colors (black, white, silver, custom wraps) and newer model years.

Most modern buses offer free onboard Wi-Fi, power outlets or USB ports at every seat, flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, and a full PA sound system. Seating is typically plush and reclining with adjustable headrests, footrests, and individual reading lights. Larger coaches (over 35 passengers) usually include a clean, well-ventilated restroom mid-cabin. Additional amenities can include climate control, tinted windows, tray tables, and optional luggage space either under the floor or in overhead racks.

Yes, all full-size motorcoaches and most minibuses have generous luggage space. Each passenger can bring one large bag (suitcase, duffel, or equipment case) to store in the undercarriage bays beneath the bus, plus one smaller carry-on item (backpack, briefcase, or tote) for the overhead compartment inside the cabin. For trips requiring extra gear—such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or presentation materials—please mention this when booking so we can assign a vehicle with sufficient storage capacity.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Wheaton can provide ADA-accessible buses in Wheaton and throughout DuPage County. Many of our larger coaches and several minibus models are equipped with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, priority seating, and accessible restrooms. If you need an ADA-compliant vehicle, please specify this when requesting your quote so we can match you with a properly equipped bus. We regularly serve passengers with mobility devices, service animals, and other special accessibility requirements.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Wheaton: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the length and duration of the trip (mileage or hourly rates), time of year (peak seasons like spring and fall are more expensive), and any special requests (luxury amenities, custom wraps, or ADA accessibility). Additional charges may apply for tolls (I-355, I-88), parking fees (stadiums, downtown Chicago), and driver lodging on overnight trips.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, sports events, and weddings, so buses can sell out quickly. For major events or multi-day trips, booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and limited in vehicle selection.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total trip cost but can vary based on the size and duration of the rental. Full payment is due 30 days before the departure date. For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, the full balance is due immediately. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and corporate checks.

Your quote includes the bus rental, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and all standard amenities (Wi-Fi, power outlets, A/V system, restroom). Not included are tolls (I-355, I-88), parking fees (Metra lots, downtown Chicago garages), driver lodging on overnight trips, and any optional extras (bottled water, custom signage). For example, parking at United Center or Guaranteed Rate Field can range from $40 to $60 per bus. Additional expenses will be itemized separately.
