Bus Rentals in Delano, California

A charter bus is a large motorcoach rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a schedule they choose. Unlike a public bus or pre-scheduled tour, a charter bus runs entirely on the renter’s itinerary. These vehicles typically seat 35 to 56 passengers and are commonly used for corporate events, school trips, sports team travel, weddings, or multi-day excursions. Modern charter buses offer comfortable seating, climate control, luggage storage, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and video screens.

Charter Bus Company Delano offers a full range of buses in Delano and Kern County, including 15, 20, 25, 28, and 35-passenger minibuses; full-size 50, 52, 54, 55, and 56-passenger motorcoaches; and several specialty vehicles. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (J4500, D-Series), Setra (S417), TEMSA, and Grech Motors (for larger minibuses). We can also provide 18- to 30-passenger party buses, 6- to 14-passenger sprinter vans (standard or executive/limo-style), and even double-decker buses for groups over 70. Most vehicles are available in multiple colors (black, white, silver, custom wraps) and come with a standard set of amenities.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, up to five flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, PA system with wireless mic, 110V/USB power at every row, and a restroom with hand sanitizer. Many coaches offer 4G/5G Wi-Fi (with streaming support), Bluetooth audio, and optional HDMI input for laptops or gaming consoles. Newer models may have leatherette upholstery, folding tray tables, and color-changing LED accent lighting. Minibuses include forward-facing seats, strong A/C, luggage space, and optional Wi-Fi or video monitor. Premium upgrades include leather seats, extra monitors, and custom lighting.

Yes, all full-size charter buses (and most larger minibuses) have dedicated luggage space. There are two types of storage: overhead parcel racks inside the cabin (similar to an airplane) and large undercarriage luggage bays beneath the floor. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase or equipment bag for the undercarriage plus one smaller carry-on or backpack for the overhead rack. For a 56-passenger coach, that’s typically 50–56 large bags below plus 50–56 carry-ons above. Oversized items (skis, band instruments, coolers) can go underneath. Minibuses seat 15–35, with rear cargo area and overhead shelf. Sprinter vans fit 8–15, with rear storage. Party buses hold 18–30, with limited space for small bags. Double-deckers seat 70+, with large bays below. If your group has extra luggage, bulky items, or special equipment, let us know in advance so we can recommend a vehicle with sufficient capacity or arrange additional storage.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental: the type and size of vehicle, the distance and duration of the trip, the time of year, and any special requests or add-ons. Peak seasons—such as spring for school trips or summer for weddings—can result in higher rates. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, driver lodging on overnight trips, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi or video screens. Major events in the region, such as sports tournaments or festivals, can also impact availability and pricing.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if your trip is during a busy season (spring and fall are peak times for school and sports travel). However, we understand that last-minute needs arise, and we can often accommodate bookings with shorter notice. Availability is limited during peak seasons (spring and fall), so larger groups or special requests should secure their bus 3–6 months ahead. Last-minute rentals are possible but may have limited vehicle options.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The remaining balance is typically due 30 days before the departure date. For trips booked less than 30 days in advance, full payment may be required upfront. We accept various forms of payment, including credit cards, checks, and ACH transfers. Our team will provide specific payment instructions when you receive your quote.

Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any standard amenities on the vehicle. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations (for overnight trips) are not included and are the responsibility of the renter. Optional add-ons like Wi-Fi, video screens, or extra luggage space may incur additional charges. Our team will clearly outline what is and isn’t included in your quote.

You can get a quote by calling our office directly or by filling out the online quote request form on our website.

If you need a particular make (such as MCI, Van Hool, or Prevost) or want to match your organization’s colors, just let us know when booking. We understand that the appearance of the vehicle can be important for events like weddings, corporate functions, or team travel, and we’ll work to provide a coach that meets your specifications. Please note that while we strive to fulfill all requests, exact models or colors may be subject to availability at the time of your trip.
