Joliet Charter Bus Rentals from Charter Bus Company Joliet

A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike fixed-route public buses or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the client—making it ideal for events, trips, or shuttles requiring group travel. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and come equipped with amenities for comfort, productivity, and convenience on trips ranging from local transfers to multi-day, cross-state journeys.

Charter Bus Company Joliet offers a full fleet of vehicles in Joliet, including 15, 20, 25, 28, 30, and 35-passenger minibuses; 40, 45, 50, 55, and 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches; and several party bus and sprinter van options for 10–30 passengers. Available models include Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, and Temsa TS-35E for larger groups; Grech Motors, Turtle Top, and Champion minibuses; and custom-built party buses. Most vehicles can be requested in black, white, silver, or custom colors.

Most modern buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, luggage bays, PA system, DVD player, flat-screen monitors, and Wi-Fi. Many also offer 110V/USB power outlets, forward-facing leatherette upholstery, and a restroom with hand sanitizer. Larger coaches may have up to five video monitors and advanced sound systems. Premium models feature cloth or leatherette seats, wood-look flooring, and optional Wi-Fi. Minibuses include basic A/V and luggage racks but typically lack restrooms and video screens. Exact amenities vary by vehicle size and model.

Yes, all full-size charter buses have substantial luggage space, with both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage baggage bays accessible from outside. The standard guideline is one large suitcase or equipment case per person in the baggage bay, plus one carry-on or backpack in the overhead rack—similar to airline baggage allowances. For groups with extra gear (sports teams, bands, or convention exhibitors), multiple bays can accommodate bulky items. Minibuses offer overhead racks and limited rear cargo space but no underfloor bays; large items may be restricted on smaller vehicles.

Bus size/model, trip duration, mileage, time of year, and special events all impact pricing. Large coaches cost more than minibuses; longer trips incur higher charges. Peak demand during school graduations, summer festivals, or sports playoffs raises rates. Additional fees may apply for tolls, parking, driver lodging, or custom wraps.
