Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Sunnyvale

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 buses or pre-set tours, a charter bus operates entirely at the client’s direction—making it ideal for one-way, round-trip, or multi-stop journeys. Modern charter buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and are equipped with comfortable reclining seats, strong air conditioning, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional amenities like WiFi and video monitors.

Charter Bus Company Sunnyvale offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Sunnyvale and the entire Bay Area, with vehicles available in multiple sizes and configurations to accommodate any type of group. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses (40-56 seats) from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (J4500, D4505), Setra (S417), and Temsa—all popular choices for large-scale events, corporate travel, or long-distance trips. For smaller groups, we offer several models of minibuses (18-35 seats) including Grech Motors (GM33, GM36), Turtle Top VT3, Champion Challenger, and Federal Spirit—all built on reliable Ford or Chevy chassis. We also have party buses (15-40 seats) built on Grech, Tiffany, or Executive Coach Builders platforms; several sizes of sprinter vans (10-15 seats, including executive and limo-style interiors); and standard passenger vans (8-14 seats) from Ford and Chevy. Available exterior colors include white, black, silver, gray, blue, and custom wraps.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, and an onboard restroom. Additional amenities can include free WiFi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each seat, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, and a public address (PA) system. Some coaches offer forward-facing seating with optional tray tables, while premium models may feature leather upholstery, wood-look flooring, and Bluetooth audio. Minibuses typically have cloth or vinyl seats, strong A/C, and optional WiFi or PA systems but no restroom.

Yes, all full-size charter buses have ample luggage space both inside and outside the passenger cabin. Each coach is equipped with overhead parcel racks above the seats for carry-on items, backpacks, or small bags. Larger suitcases, duffel bags, or equipment cases can be stored in the undercarriage luggage bays accessible from outside the bus. As a general rule, each passenger can bring one carry-on item for the overhead rack and one larger bag for the underfloor compartment. For groups traveling with extra gear—such as sports teams, musicians, or trade show exhibitors—our largest coaches can accommodate bulky items like coolers, instrument cases, or display materials. Minibuses have limited rear cargo space but no underfloor bays.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Sunnyvale: the type and size of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), length and duration of the trip (hours, days, or mileage), time of year (peak seasons like spring and fall are more expensive), and any special requests or add-ons (premium amenities, tolls, parking, or driver lodging). Local events—such as 49ers games at Levi’s Stadium, Sharks games at SAP Center, or major tech conferences—can also impact pricing and availability due to increased demand. One-way trips may incur additional fees if the bus returns empty.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sports events, so buses can book up quickly. For trips during busy periods or involving large groups, multiple vehicles, or special requirements, booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be limited in choice and more expensive.

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 may vary depending on the size of the vehicle and length of the trip. The remaining balance is due no later than 14 days before the departure date. For bookings made less than 14 days in advance, full payment is required upfront. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and corporate checks.

Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s time, fuel, and any standard amenities (WiFi, power outlets, A/V system). Not included are tolls, parking fees, hotel and meals for the driver on overnight trips, and optional gratuity. For example, parking passes at Levi’s Stadium range from $30 to $50 depending on the lot; SAP Center charges $15 to $25 for event parking; and SFO airport bus parking is $18 per hour. These fees are paid directly by the group. Any additional expenses will be outlined before booking.
