Charter Bus Rentals in Escondido

A charter bus is a private, pre-arranged vehicle rental that provides group transportation to and from destinations of your choice on a schedule you set. Unlike public transit or fixed-route shuttles, a charter bus operates entirely on your itinerary, making it ideal for events, tours, corporate travel, or any situation where large groups need to move together efficiently. Buses typically seat 20 to 56 passengers and include amenities for comfort and convenience.

Charter Bus Company Escondido offers a full fleet of vehicles in Escondido, including 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, party buses, and several specialty vehicles. Our most popular models include the Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, and Grech Motors GM36/GM40/GM45. We can also provide school buses, ADA-accessible coaches, and custom-wrapped vehicles for special events. Many vehicles are available in multiple colors (black, white, silver) and can be wrapped with custom graphics.

Most modern buses offer reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, luggage bays, and at least one flat-screen TV with DVD player. Larger coaches (40+ seats) usually have a PA system, multiple video monitors, and a restroom at the rear of the coach. Many newer buses are equipped with Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each seat, and Bluetooth-enabled sound systems. Additional amenities may include leatherette upholstery, tray tables, footrests, and tinted windows. Onboard Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets, and USB ports are available on most mid- and full-size coaches. Larger buses include flat-screen monitors, DVD players, Bluetooth sound systems, PA microphones, and restrooms. Standard features: reclining seats, reading lights, climate control, parcel racks, luggage bays. Premium options: leatherette upholstery, tray tables, and custom branding. All vehicles have strong A/C, comfortable seating, and sound systems compatible with personal devices. Specific amenities vary by model—ask your agent for exact specs.

Yes! All our buses have dedicated luggage space. Full-size coaches (40+ seats) have large underfloor baggage bays that can hold one large suitcase per passenger, plus carry-on items. Minibuses (20–35 seats) have smaller luggage compartments at the rear of the cabin, suitable for roller bags or duffel bags. In addition, all vehicles have overhead parcel racks above the seats for backpacks, briefcases, and personal items. For groups with extra luggage (e.g., sports teams, band equipment), we can provide a trailer or recommend a larger vehicle. A good rule of thumb is one large bag plus one carry-on item per person.
