Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Fresno, California

A charter bus is a large motorcoach rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public transit or fixed-route services, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the client, making it ideal for group travel to events, meetings, tours, or multi-day trips. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and offer amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, and luggage storage.

Charter Bus Company Fresno offers a full fleet of vehicles in Fresno, including 15-, 18-, 20-, 28-, 30-, 35-, 40-, 47-, 50-, 52-, 55-, and 56-passenger full-size charter buses; 18-, 20-, 22-, 24-, 25-, 28-, 30-, 32-, 35-, and 36-passenger minibuses; and 6-, 7-, 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-passenger sprinter vans.

Most full-size Fresno charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, onboard restroom, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, PA system, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, 110V power outlets, USB ports, and onboard Wi-Fi. Many newer coaches offer optional 3–6 video monitors, Bluetooth audio, HDMI input for laptops or gaming consoles, and forward-facing HD screens. Larger coaches (50+ seats) include all of the above plus additional video monitors, integrated sound system, and larger luggage bays. Premium models may offer leatherette seating, color-adjustable LED cabin lighting, and upgraded sound system. Minibuses (18–35 seats) include cloth or vinyl seats, strong HVAC, overhead parcel shelf, rear luggage area, PA system, and optional Wi-Fi and USB ports. Most models have forward-facing seats, but 18–24-seat minibuses can be configured with perimeter seating for social groups. Sprinter vans (10–15 seats) include high-back seats, strong HVAC, rear cargo area, and optional Wi-Fi and USB ports. Most sprinters have forward-facing seats, but 12–14-seat models can be configured with perimeter seating for social groups.

Yes, all full-size Fresno charter buses (40–56 seats) have generous luggage space with both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage luggage bays accessible from outside the coach. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase or duffel bag (up to 50 lbs) for the undercarriage bay plus one smaller carry-on item (backpack, tote, or briefcase) for the overhead rack. The undercarriage bays on a 56-passenger coach can hold 50–60 large suitcases, while the overhead racks accommodate carry-ons similar to airline cabin baggage. Minibuses (18–35 seats) have overhead parcel shelves and a rear luggage area that fits 8–12 suitcases but no undercarriage bays. Sprinter vans (10–15 seats) have a rear cargo area for 6–8 suitcases but no overhead racks.
