What Is a Charter Bus?

A charter bus is a private motorcoach rented by a group of people for a specific itinerary. While there are public buses that travel along fixed routes, charter buses are for private use and go wherever and whenever you want to. Charter buses are used for a variety of occasions, such as corporate trips, field trips, weddings, and sports events.

What Does a Charter Bus Look Like?

A full-size charter bus is a large vehicle that is about 40 feet long and features a rounded front, multiple rows of windows, and a white exterior. Some charter buses may have a more modern design with a boxier look, but most look similar to the white buses you’ve likely seen on highways.
