A charter bus is a large, professionally operated motorcoach that’s rented by a group to provide private, pre-arranged transportation on a schedule and route of your choosing. Unlike a public Greyhound-style bus, a charter bus doesn’t sell individual tickets—it’s hired as a single unit to serve the needs of a specific group, whether that’s a sports team, a company, a wedding party, or a school. Charter buses are designed for comfort on longer trips, with forward-facing seats, strong climate control, luggage storage, and optional amenities like WiFi, power outlets, video monitors, and onboard restrooms. They’re commonly used for events, tours, and multi-day trips where everyone needs to arrive together and on time.

Most full-size charter buses are 40 to 45 feet long, about 12 feet tall, and roughly 8.5 feet wide. They have a boxy, aerodynamic shape with a rounded front end, large tinted side windows, and smooth fiberglass or aluminum body panels that can be painted any color or wrapped with custom graphics. The typical charter bus rides on six wheels (four in back, two in front), sits high off the ground (with two or three entry steps), and has luggage bays integrated into the lower body below the passenger windows. There’s a single passenger door at the front on the right side, and sometimes a second emergency exit door toward the rear. The overall look is sleek, modern, and built for highway cruising.

Most full-size charter buses seat between 50 and 56 passengers, though some models can hold as few as 47 or as many as 60 depending on the seating configuration. Smaller minibuses typically accommodate anywhere from 18 to 35 passengers. The exact capacity will depend on the make and model of the bus, as well as whether any seats have been removed to make room for extra luggage, a wheelchair lift, or other amenities. When you request a quote, be sure to specify your group size so the company can provide a vehicle that fits everyone comfortably.

People and organizations rent charter buses anytime they need to move a group of people together, on time, and without relying on public transportation or carpooling. Common customers include K-12 schools and colleges (for field trips, athletic events, and campus shuttles), sports teams (traveling to games and tournaments), wedding parties (guest transportation between venues), corporate groups (conferences, training sessions, and employee shuttles), religious organizations (retreats and mission trips), military units, senior citizen groups, and tour operators running custom sightseeing trips. Even families and friends will book a bus for reunions, birthday parties, or group outings to concerts and sporting events.

We offer a full range of buses in Layton, including 18-, 20-, 25-, 28-, 30-, 35-, 40-, 50-, and 56-seat vehicles from all the best brands! Our fleet includes Van Hool CX and TX series (45–56 seats), Prevost H3-45 and X3-45 (up to 56), MCI J4500 and D4500 (up to 56), Setra S417/S407 (up to 56), Temsa TS35E/TS45 (40–54), and minicoaches like Grech Motors GM33/GM36/GM40 (28–40) and Turtle Top VT3/Vantage (up to 35). For smaller groups, we have minibuses and sprinter-style vans with 18–28 seats. Many models offer leatherette seating, optional cloth upholstery, wood-look flooring, video monitors, Wi-Fi, 110V outlets, USB ports, and onboard restrooms. If you need something specific—like an ADA-accessible coach, a “party bus” layout, or a particular brand/model—just ask! We can provide nearly any size or style of bus you need.

A “charter bus” and a “coach bus” usually refer to the same thing: a full-size, forward-facing motorcoach designed for comfortable group travel. A “party bus” is a smaller vehicle (often built on a minibus or van chassis) with a custom interior featuring perimeter seating, colored lighting, a sound system, and room to stand or dance—popular for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and nights out. An “entertainer bus” (or “sleeper coach”) is a special motorcoach outfitted with bunks, lounge areas, and a kitchen for touring musicians, performers, or VIPs who need to live on the road. It’s more like a rolling RV than a standard passenger bus.

Most modern charter buses come equipped with high-back reclining seats, strong air conditioning and heating, overhead reading lights, luggage racks above the seats, large underfloor luggage bays, and one or more flat-screen video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray capability. Additional amenities may include free Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB charging ports at every seat, a PA system for announcements, an onboard restroom at the rear of the coach, and tile or wood-look flooring. Premium coaches can offer leatherette or cloth upholstery, individual tray tables, video screens, Bluetooth audio, and even custom lighting. Minibuses typically include basic climate control and comfortable seating, with optional Wi-Fi and device charging. ADA-accessible coaches are available with wheelchair lifts and securement areas. If you need something specific—like Wi-Fi, power outlets, or a restroom—just ask when you request your quote.

Yes, most modern charter buses can be equipped with onboard WiFi that allows passengers to browse the web, check email, and use social media during the trip. However, connection speeds may vary depending on the carrier and the route—especially in rural or mountainous areas—and streaming video or large downloads may be restricted to conserve bandwidth. If having reliable WiFi is important for your group, be sure to request it when booking your bus and ask about any limitations on usage or data caps. Some companies include WiFi as a standard amenity, while others may charge extra for the service.

A full-size charter bus offers substantial luggage capacity, with both underfloor storage bays and interior overhead racks. As a general rule, each passenger can bring one large suitcase (similar to airline checked baggage) plus a smaller carry-on bag. For a 56-passenger coach, that means roughly 50–60 full-size suitcases in the lower bays, with additional room for backpacks, coats, and smaller items inside the cabin. Oversized items like skis, snowboards, or athletic equipment can often be accommodated, but should be mentioned in advance to ensure sufficient space. Minibuses have less storage—typically limited to carry-on bags and small cases—but are suitable for shorter trips or groups traveling light.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible charter buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms upon request. Just let us know what you need when you call.

Yes, you can wrap a charter bus with your company logo, event branding, or custom graphics, but this must be arranged in advance and may incur additional fees. Full and partial wraps are available.

We will do our best to accommodate requests for specific bus models, makes, or colors (such as all-black or all-white coaches), but availability may be limited based on fleet inventory and scheduling. If your trip requires a particular type of vehicle—such as a certain brand of motorcoach, a bus with leather seats, or a coach with a custom interior—please mention this when requesting your quote. We can often provide photos of the exact bus assigned to your trip ahead of time, and will confirm any special requests in writing before you sign the contract. Additional fees may apply for custom paint, graphics, or exterior wraps.

The cost of a charter bus rental in Layton typically ranges from $1,200 to $4,500 or more, depending on the size of the bus, the length of the trip, and the time of year. Local trips are usually billed by the hour (with a 4- or 5-hour minimum), while longer trips are charged by the mile or by the day. For example, a one-day local rental might cost $1,200–$2,000; a multi-day out-of-state trip could run $3,000–$6,000 or more. Minibuses are less expensive than full-size coaches, and luxury or specialty vehicles may cost extra. Ask for an all-inclusive quote that covers the bus, driver, fuel, tolls, and any other fees.

A minibus rental in Layton typically costs between $800 and $2,500, depending on the size of the vehicle (18, 20, 25, or 28 passengers), the duration of the trip, and the distance traveled. Local trips are usually billed by the hour with a 4- or 5-hour minimum, while longer trips may be charged by the mile or day. Minibuses are ideal for short-distance shuttles, airport transfers, and small-group outings, and are more affordable than full-size charter buses.

Extra costs may include tolls, parking fees, lodging for the driver on overnight trips, and gratuity. One-way trips can be more expensive if the bus has to return empty.
