What Is a Charter Bus?

A charter bus, also called a motorcoach, is a vehicle designed to transport groups of people. While the term “charter bus” can refer to any vehicle that can be chartered (rented for a set period of time) by a group, it most commonly refers to a 56-passenger full-size bus. Charter buses are rented for many occasions, including sporting events, weddings, field trips, private trips, and more.

What Does a Charter Bus Look Like?

Charter buses have a distinct look that is easy to spot. They are typically white, with a sloped or square-shaped front, with large windows and undercarriage storage. Some charter buses have unique wraps or branding, like team logos for sporting events. Their interiors are designed with comfort in mind, and come with amenities like cushioned, reclining seats, overhead storage, onboard restrooms, and more.

What is the difference between a coach bus and a charter bus?

The difference between a coach bus and a charter bus is that a coach bus is a specific type of bus, while “charter bus” is a more general term that refers to any bus that can be chartered, or rented. You can rent a coach bus, along with other vehicles like minibuses, school buses, and sprinter vans. However, “charter bus” is commonly used to refer to a coach bus, and the terms are often used interchangeably.

How many passengers can fit on a charter bus?
