Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Ontario, California

A charter bus is a large, privately rented motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together to a destination of their choice. Unlike public transportation or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates on a custom itinerary set by the client, making it ideal for events like corporate outings, school field trips, sports team travel, weddings, or multi-day tours. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and come equipped with amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, and entertainment systems.

Charter Bus Company Ontario offers a wide range of buses in Ontario, from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size charter buses, including several models that can seat up to 60 or more. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (J4500, D4500), Setra, Temsa, Grech Motors, Turtle Top, and Champion. We also offer party buses, sprinter vans, and several ADA-accessible vehicles. Many larger coaches are available in multiple color options (black, white, silver) and can be wrapped or branded for special events.

Most modern charter buses in Ontario come standard with reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC/climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, and a full-size onboard restroom. Additional amenities can include flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA system, 110V power outlets at every row, USB charging ports, and onboard Wi-Fi. Many coaches offer optional leatherette upholstery, wood-look flooring, and forward-facing seating with extra legroom. Larger coaches may have up to five video monitors and advanced sound systems. On newer models, Wi-Fi and 110V outlets are standard; older coaches may have DVD systems instead.

Yes, all full-size charter buses in Ontario have generous luggage space both inside and outside the passenger cabin. Each coach is equipped with undercarriage luggage bays running the length of the vehicle on both sides, capable of holding large suitcases, equipment cases, or bulky items. Inside the cabin, overhead parcel racks above the seats are perfect for carry-on bags, backpacks, or smaller personal items. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase for the luggage bay and one carry-on item for the overhead rack. Sports teams, music groups, or travelers with extra gear should ask about additional storage capacity when booking.

On smaller vehicles, availability may be limited, but we can often provide an accessible minibus or coordinate with a second vehicle if needed.

Several factors can affect the cost of renting a charter bus in Ontario, including the size and type of vehicle, the length and duration of the trip, and the time of year. Larger buses and luxury models are more expensive than smaller or standard coaches. Seasonal demand also plays a role—rates are higher during peak travel times such as spring and summer, or when major events like concerts, festivals, or sporting events are happening at venues like Toyota Arena or the Ontario Convention Center. Additional costs may include tolls on routes like the 10 Freeway, 60 Freeway, or 15 Freeway, parking fees at destinations such as Ontario International Airport (ONT), and accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. Fuel prices and special requests for amenities or custom branding can also impact the final price.
