Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in San Jose, California

A charter bus is a large, private motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike public transit or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the client, making it ideal for moving groups to events, meetings, or multi-day trips. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and offer amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and luggage storage.

Charter Bus Company San Jose offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in San Jose and the entire Bay Area, with vehicles that can accommodate anywhere from 15 to 56 passengers. Our fleet includes full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches, several sizes of minibuses (15-, 18-, 20-, 25-, 28-, 30-, 35-, 38- and 40-passenger models), party buses (10–40 passengers), entertainer coaches (also known as sleeper buses), and several types of specialty vehicles. We carry vehicles from all the leading manufacturers, including Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech Motors, Turtle Top, Executive Coach Builders, LGE Coachworks, and more. Many vehicles are available in multiple configurations and colors (black, white, silver, custom wraps), and we can often provide the exact make/model you request.

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, 110V/USB power outlets, free Wi-Fi, and a restroom with toilet and hand sanitizer. Larger minibuses may offer similar amenities minus the restroom and luggage bays. Additional options can include leather upholstery, tray tables, Bluetooth audio, and custom branding. Onboard Wi-Fi and power outlets are standard on most newer vehicles.

Yes, full-size charter buses have substantial luggage space with both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage luggage bays beneath the floor. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase or duffel bag for the undercarriage storage and one smaller carry-on item (backpack, tote, briefcase) for the overhead compartment. This makes it easy to transport all your belongings to and from your final destination. If you have special luggage requirements—such as large equipment for a sports team or musical instruments for a band—just let us know when you call to book your bus rental. We can help you choose a bus with enough storage space for your needs.

Yes, Charter Bus Company San Jose can provide ADA-accessible buses with features such as wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, priority seating, and accessible restrooms. Many newer motorcoaches are built to be fully ADA-compliant, and we can accommodate most accessibility requests with advance notice. If you need a specific type of accessible vehicle, please let us know when requesting your quote so we can assign a bus that meets your requirements.

Several factors influence the cost of renting a charter bus in San Jose: the type and size of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the length and duration of the trip (mileage, number of days), time of year (peak vs. off-peak), and any special requests (premium amenities, custom wraps). Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, driver lodging on multi-day trips, and events requiring standby time. Major events and festivals can also impact pricing due to increased demand.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2–6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and fall are especially busy due to school trips, sports seasons, and weddings, so advance booking is critical during these times. Large events at venues like the SAP Center, Levi’s Stadium, or the San Jose Convention Center can also impact availability. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer fewer vehicle options.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost but can vary depending on the size and type of vehicle. Full payment is due 30 days before the departure date. For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, full payment is required upfront. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks.

Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any tolls incurred along the route. Not included are parking fees, hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips, and optional gratuity for the driver (recommended 10–20%). Parking fees at venues like Levi’s Stadium or the SAP Center can range from $50 to $150 depending on the location. Additional expenses will be outlined in your contract.
