Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Philadelphia

A charter bus is a private, pre-arranged vehicle rented by a group to travel together on a schedule and itinerary they choose. Unlike public transportation or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates exclusively for the hiring party, making custom pickups, stops, and drop-offs. It’s commonly used for school trips, corporate events, sports team travel, weddings, or multi-day tours. Modern charter buses offer comfortable seating, climate control, onboard restrooms, and amenities like Wi-Fi and video screens.

Charter Bus Company Philadelphia offers a full range of buses in Philadelphia, from 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, and 28-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches and several options in between. We can also provide multiple buses for large groups or custom needs. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, TEMSA, Grech, and Turtle Top, so you’ll always get a modern, reliable coach with the best amenities available.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a restroom. Many also feature flat-screen monitors, DVD players, a PA system, 110V power outlets, and onboard Wi-Fi. Larger coaches may have USB ports at each seat, forward-facing video screens, or even leather upholstery. Minibuses typically offer cloth or vinyl seating, basic A/C, and limited luggage space but can be upgraded with Wi-Fi or a PA system on request. Specific amenities vary by coach size and model, so ask your reservation specialist about exact features when booking.

Yes, all full-size charter buses have ample luggage space both inside and outside the passenger cabin. Each coach is equipped with overhead parcel racks for carry-on items—backpacks, briefcases, or small duffel bags—and large underfloor baggage bays accessible from the curbside for larger suitcases or equipment cases. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase (up to 50 lbs.) for the luggage bay and one carry-on item for the overhead rack. Groups with bulky gear—band instruments, athletic equipment, trade show materials—should mention this when booking so we can recommend a coach with extra storage capacity or make special arrangements.

Several factors affect the price of a charter bus rental in Philadelphia: the type and size of bus (minibus vs. full-size coach), the length and duration of your trip (mileage and number of days), time of year (peak seasons like spring and fall are more expensive), and any special amenities requested (Wi-Fi, leather seats, etc.). Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging for overnight trips. Large events—Eagles or Phillies games, Broad Street Run, major conventions—can also impact pricing due to increased demand and staging challenges downtown.
