Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Peoria

A charter bus is a large, privately rented motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together to and from pre-arranged destinations on a schedule set by the customer. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates exclusively for the group that hires it, making it ideal for events like corporate outings, school trips, sports team travel, weddings, or multi-day tours. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and offer amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional Wi-Fi or entertainment systems.

Charter Bus Company Peoria offers a full range of buses in Peoria, including 15-, 18-, 20-, 25-, 28-, 30-, and 35-passenger minibuses; full-size 40-, 47-, 50-, 55-, and 56-passenger motorcoaches; and several specialty vehicles. Our fleet includes models from top manufacturers such as Van Hool CX45, Van Hool TX40, Prevost H3-45, Prevost X3-45, MCI J4500, MCI D4500, Setra S417, Setra S407, Temsa TS35E, Temsa TS30, and Grech Motors GM33, GM36, and GM40. We can also provide 12- to 14-passenger sprinter vans (including Mercedes-Benz models) and party buses that seat 10–40 people. Many vehicles are available in multiple colors (black, white, silver, or custom wraps) and can be upgraded with additional amenities upon request.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, PA systems, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth audio, USB and 110V power outlets at every row, and an onboard restroom. Many coaches offer free onboard Wi-Fi, and some newer models have HDMI inputs, wireless microphone systems, and optional streaming entertainment packages. Larger coaches may feature leatherette upholstery, wood-look flooring, LED accent lighting, and optional beverage stations. Minibuses typically include cloth or vinyl seating, strong climate control, a PA system, Bluetooth audio, and USB charging ports; some have video monitors or leatherette seats. Premium coaches can be upgraded with leather seating, additional video screens, headrest monitors, and custom lighting packages. All vehicles are cleaned and sanitized before each trip.

Yes, all of our full-size charter buses and most of our larger minibuses have ample luggage space. Full-size coaches (40–56 seats) are equipped with both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold standard suitcases, duffel bags, or equipment cases. The general guideline is one large bag per person in the luggage bay plus one smaller carry-on or backpack in the overhead rack. For airport transfers, sports teams, or groups with extra gear, we can recommend a vehicle with additional storage capacity. Smaller minibuses (20–35 seats) have overhead racks and limited rear cargo space but no underfloor bays; these are best for groups with light baggage. If you’re bringing bulky items such as musical instruments, trade show materials, or athletic equipment, please let us know in advance so we can assign a vehicle with sufficient storage or arrange for a trailer if needed.

For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, full payment is required upfront.
