Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Arcadia

A charter bus is a large, comfortable motorcoach rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public buses or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the client—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, wedding party, or any other organization needing to move people together. Modern charter buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and are equipped with amenities like reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and entertainment systems.

Charter Bus Company Arcadia offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Arcadia and the San Gabriel Valley, including vehicles from 15 to 56 passengers. Our lineup includes 15-, 18-, 20-, 22-, 25-, 28-, and 30-passenger minibuses; full-size 45-, 50-, 55-, and 56-passenger motorcoaches; several 40- and 44-passenger mid-size buses; and multiple party buses seating 20 to 50 guests. We carry vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, and Executive Coach Builders. Many models are available in multiple colors—including black, white, silver, gray, blue, and custom wraps—so you can match your bus to your event. Our team can help you choose the perfect bus based on your group size, budget, and desired amenities.

Most modern Arcadia charter buses come standard with plush reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, and ample luggage storage both under the coach and in overhead racks. For longer trips, you’ll get flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA system with wireless microphone, and optional Wi-Fi with 4G/5G connectivity. Many coaches offer 110V power outlets and USB ports at every seat, Bluetooth-enabled sound systems, and auxiliary inputs for personal devices. Larger motorcoaches (40+ passengers) typically include a full-size restroom with hand sanitizer and running water. Additional amenities can include leather upholstery, wood-look flooring, LED accent lighting, tray tables, and forward-facing seating throughout. On request, we can provide coaches with upgraded sound systems, HDMI inputs for gaming consoles or laptops, and custom exterior branding or wraps for corporate and athletic groups.

Yes, all of our Arcadia charter buses have ample luggage space for your group’s belongings. Full-size motorcoaches (40-56 passengers) feature large undercarriage baggage bays that can accommodate one full-size suitcase per passenger—perfect for airport transfers, multi-day trips, or groups traveling with equipment. Inside the cabin, overhead parcel racks run the length of the coach and are ideal for carry-on bags, backpacks, or smaller items you want to keep within reach. As a general rule, each passenger can bring one large bag for the luggage bay and one smaller bag for the overhead compartment. If your group has special luggage needs—such as musical instruments, sports equipment, or bulky items—let us know in advance so we can recommend a coach with extra storage capacity or make special arrangements. For smaller groups, our minibuses (up to 30 passengers) offer generous overhead storage and limited rear cargo space, though they don’t have the same under-floor bays as larger coaches.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Arcadia can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms upon request. Many newer models of full-size motorcoaches and larger minibuses are equipped with integrated wheelchair lifts located at the midsection or rear of the vehicle. These lifts can accommodate standard powered and manual wheelchairs up to 800 pounds. Once onboard, the coach has designated wheelchair tie-down areas that meet ADA guidelines for accessibility. Our larger motorcoaches (40+ passengers) can typically accommodate two to four wheelchairs per trip, while still providing ample seating for ambulatory passengers. If your group requires more than two wheelchair spaces, we can arrange for multiple coaches or recommend a vehicle with additional capacity. For shorter trips around Arcadia, we also offer ADA-accessible minibuses (20-30 passengers) with similar lift and tie-down capabilities. Just let your reservation specialist know about any mobility needs when you call, and we’ll make sure your bus meets all ADA requirements.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Arcadia: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the distance and duration of the trip, the time of year (peak seasons like spring and fall are more expensive), and the specific amenities requested (Wi-Fi, leather seats, ADA accessibility). Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging for overnight trips.

It’s best to book your Arcadia charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sports events, so buses can sell out quickly. For major events or large groups requiring multiple vehicles, booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer limited 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 may vary depending on the size and type of vehicle. Full payment is due 14 to 30 days before the date of your trip. We accept major credit cards, checks, and ACH transfers. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract.

Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, and insurance. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations (for overnight trips) are not included and are the responsibility of the customer. For example, parking passes at venues like Santa Anita Park or the Rose Bowl can range from $20 to $60 depending on the lot and event. Be sure to budget for these extra costs when planning your trip.
