Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A charter bus is a large vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public transit or pre-sold tours, a charter bus runs exclusively for your party—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, or event attendees—offering flexible pickup, routing, and drop-off tailored to your itinerary. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and feature forward-facing seats, climate control, luggage bays, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi or video screens.

Charter Bus Company Philadelphia offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Philadelphia, including vehicles from 15 to 56 passengers. Our lineup includes 15-, 18-, 20-, 22-, 24-, 28-, 30-, 35-, 40-, 44-, 47-, 50-, 52-, 54-, and 56-passenger coaches, with several options at each size point. We carry multiple models from top manufacturers such as Van Hool (CX35, CX45, TX11, TX15, TX16), Prevost (H3-45, X3-45), MCI (J4500, J3500, D4505, D4000), Setra (S417, S407), and Temsa (TS35E, TS30). Many coaches are available in standard white, black, or custom colors, and we can provide wrapped/executive interiors upon request. We also offer ADA-accessible coaches and vehicles with upgraded amenities (Wi-Fi, 110V outlets, leather seats, wood-look floors). Whatever size or style of bus you need, we can provide it—just ask!

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a rear onboard restroom. Standard amenities also include PA system, DVD player, and flat-screen monitors (1–4 per coach). Many newer coaches offer Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each row, and Bluetooth audio. Optional upgrades include leatherette or leather seating, wood-look flooring, LED accent lighting, and forward-facing tables. Premium models may have HDMI inputs, wireless microphone, and executive seating layouts. Specific amenities vary by coach/model—please confirm what’s available when booking.

Yes, all full-size charter buses have generous luggage space both inside and outside the cabin. Each coach is equipped with overhead parcel racks running the length of the interior on both sides—ideal for backpacks, briefcases, and small carry-on items. Below the passenger deck, undercarriage luggage bays span the width of the bus between the axles and can hold large suitcases, duffel bags, equipment cases, or bulky items. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size bag for the luggage bay plus one smaller item for the overhead rack. For groups with extra gear—such as sports teams, musicians, or conference attendees—we can provide an exact baggage capacity in advance and arrange additional luggage space if needed.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Philadelphia can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Many of our newer 40- to 56-passenger coaches from Van Hool, MCI, Prevost, Setra, and Temsa are available in ADA-compliant configurations. Smaller groups can request a 20- to 35-passenger minibus with a lift. Please specify your accessibility needs when requesting a quote so we can assign a suitable vehicle and ensure proper seating arrangements.

Bus size/type, trip duration, mileage, time of year, and special events all impact rates. Larger buses cost more than minibuses; multi-day or long-distance trips are pricier than local charters. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school and sports travel. Major events—Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, Sixers games; concerts; conventions—can increase demand and rates.
