Charter Bus Rental Gilroy, California

A charter bus is a large, privately rented motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together to a destination of their choice on a schedule they control. Unlike public transportation or pre-sold tour buses, a charter bus operates exclusively for the hiring party—such as a school, company, sports team, or event organizer—providing direct, custom pickup and drop-off. Modern charter buses typically seat 20 to 56 passengers and include amenities like reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional Wi-Fi or video monitors.

Charter Bus Company Gilroy offers a wide range of buses in Gilroy, from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches and several options in between. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech Motors, Turtle Top, and Executive Coach Builders. We can also provide party buses, entertainer coaches, and ADA-accessible vehicles. Many of our larger buses are available in multiple configurations to suit different group sizes and budget requirements.

Most modern Gilroy charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, and large undercarriage luggage bays. Many also feature flat-screen video monitors, DVD players, PA systems, and 110V or USB power outlets at each seat. Wi-Fi is available on most newer coaches, though speed may be limited in rural areas. Larger coaches (40+ seats) typically have a restroom at the rear of the cabin. Additional amenities can include leather upholstery, tray tables, and forward-facing seating on smaller minibuses.

Yes! Every bus in our fleet has ample storage space for your personal belongings. Larger models (25+ seats) feature both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and spacious undercarriage luggage bays accessible from outside. As a general rule, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase (similar to airline carry-on dimensions) for the undercarriage bay and one smaller bag or backpack for the overhead compartment. This makes it easy to travel with sports equipment, presentation materials, or extra clothing without crowding the aisle.

For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, the full balance is due at the time of reservation. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and corporate checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract.

Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any tolls incurred along the route.
