Bus Rentals in Visalia, California

A charter bus is a private, pre-arranged vehicle rental that transports groups of people to and from specific destinations on a schedule you set. Unlike public transportation or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates exclusively for your party—whether that’s a sports team, wedding guests, corporate employees, or students—making custom pickups, drop-offs, and stops as requested. Most modern charter buses are large, motorcoach-style vehicles seating 40–56 passengers, but the term also covers smaller minibuses and even party buses.

Charter Bus Company Visalia offers a full fleet of vehicles seating 15 to 56 passengers, including minibus, party bus, entertainer coach, and full-size motorcoaches. Available models include Van Hool CX45 and TX40/45, Prevost H3-45 and X3-45, MCI J4500 and D4505, Setra S417, Temsa TS30/TS35/TS45, and Grech Motors GM33/GM36/GM40. Many vehicles are available in multiple colors (white, black, silver, gray, blue, red) and can be custom-wrapped for large events or branded trips.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, PA system, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, USB/power outlets at each seat, and a restroom. Many coaches offer onboard Wi-Fi, Bluetooth audio, microphone, and optional leather upholstery. Larger coaches may have up to six video monitors, 110V outlets, and upgraded sound systems. Minibuses typically include cloth or vinyl seats, basic A/V system, and luggage space but may not have a restroom.

Yes, all full-size charter buses have generous luggage space in both overhead parcel racks and undercarriage luggage bays. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one large suitcase (to be stored below) and one smaller carry-on bag or backpack (to be placed in the overhead compartment). Minibuses and smaller coaches may not have undercarriage bays but will still have overhead racks and rear cargo areas for luggage. If your group has special luggage requirements—such as musical instruments, athletic equipment, or presentation materials—please let us know when booking so we can recommend a vehicle with adequate storage capacity.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Visalia can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Just ask your reservation specialist for an ADA-compliant vehicle when you call, and they’ll make sure you’re taken care of.
