Apple Valley Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike public transit or fixed-route services, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client—whether that’s a school, business, sports team, wedding party, or tour group—offering flexible pickup, drop-off, and stopovers. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers, feature forward-facing reclining seats, and include amenities like climate control, onboard restrooms, and luggage storage.

Charter Bus Company Apple Valley offers a full range of vehicles from 15-, 18-, 20-, 25- and 28-passenger minibuses to 40-, 45-, 50-, 55- and 56-passenger full-size charter buses, plus several 35-seat mid-size coaches and multiple 36- to 40-foot party buses. Available models include Van Hool CX and TX series, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500 and D4505, Setra S417, Temsa TS35/TS30, Grech Motors GM33/GM36/GM40, Turtle Top VT3/VT4, and Champion/Freightliner/Glaval/Starcraft/Elkhart minibuses. Most vehicles are available in black, white, silver, or custom colors, with several ADA-accessible/lift-equipped options in each size class.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, armrests, and footrests; individual reading lights; strong roof-mounted HVAC; overhead parcel racks; underfloor luggage bays; a full-size rear restroom; 4–6 flat-screen monitors; DVD/Blu-ray/CD/stereo; PA mic; 110V outlets at every pair; and strong 4G/5G Wi-Fi. Optional upgrades: USB-A/C ports, HDMI input, Bluetooth audio, leatherette or cloth upholstery, folding tray tables, card tables, and custom/exterior branding. Minibuses: same seating, HVAC, PA, audio, Wi-Fi, and 110V/USB; some have rear luggage/cargo doors, but no restroom. Party buses: perimeter seating, sound system, Bluetooth, color LED/laser/dance lighting, 110V/USB, and optional beverage/cooler area.

Yes, all full-size charter buses have large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold one standard suitcase per passenger, plus overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for carry-on bags, backpacks, or smaller items. For most trips, each passenger can bring one large bag (28”–30” roller) underneath and one carry-on (22” roller or backpack) above. Mid-size coaches (30–40 seats) also have underfloor bays, though slightly smaller. Minibuses (15–28 seats) typically have rear cargo areas or large interior shelves, but no underfloor bays; they can fit one medium bag per person. Party buses have limited storage—just behind seats or in corners—so luggage is restricted to small bags or backpacks.
