El Cajon Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a large, privately rented vehicle designed to transport groups of people to a specific destination or on a custom itinerary. Unlike public transportation or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates on a schedule and route determined entirely by the client. These vehicles are commonly used for school trips, corporate events, weddings, sports team travel, and multi-day tours, offering comfortable seating, onboard amenities, and ample luggage space for groups typically ranging from 30 to 56 passengers.

Available models include Van Hool CX45, TX40, and TX45; Prevost H3-45 and X3-45; MCI J4500 and D4500; Setra S417; Temsa TS30, TS35, and TS45; Grech Motors GM33, GM36, and EG40; and Ford E450/E550/Econoline minivans.

Most modern charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a restroom. Standard amenities include free Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each seat, DVD player with flat-screen monitors, and a PA system with wireless microphone.

Premium models feature full leather seats, wood-look flooring, ceiling-mounted video screens, and Bluetooth audio.

Yes, all full-size (35- to 56-passenger) charter buses have substantial luggage space. Each coach includes overhead parcel racks in the cabin for carry-on items and large underfloor baggage bays accessible from outside the bus. As a guideline, each passenger may bring one full-size suitcase (up to 50 lbs.) for the luggage bay and one smaller carry-on bag for the overhead rack. The bays can accommodate oversized items such as sports equipment, band instruments, or trade show cases by arrangement.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms upon request. Many newer 40- and 45-foot coaches are available in ADA versions. These buses include a side-mounted wheelchair lift at the rear or mid-door, designated securement areas for one to three wheelchairs, and priority seating near the entry. The lift handles mobility devices up to 32″” wide and 600 lbs.
