Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Pasadena, California

A charter bus is a large, comfortable vehicle rented by groups to travel together to a specific destination on a schedule they choose. It’s commonly used for school trips, corporate events, weddings, sports team transportation, or any event requiring group travel. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and come equipped with amenities like reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and luggage storage. Smaller groups can opt for minibuses, which offer similar comfort on a more compact scale.

Charter Bus Company Pasadena offers a wide range of buses in Pasadena, including full-size charter buses (motorcoaches) seating 50–56 passengers, minibuses for 18–35 passengers, party buses for 10–40 passengers, and several specialty vehicles. Available models include MCI J4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, Setra S417, Temsa TS30/TS35E, Grech Motors GM33/GM36/GM40, and Turtle Top Terra Transit. We also provide executive sprinter vans (seating 10–15) and ADA-accessible vehicles. Most vehicles are available in multiple colors (black, white, silver, custom wraps) and can be customized to your group’s size and needs.

Most full-size buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, onboard restroom, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, flat-screen video monitors, DVD player, PA system, Wi-Fi, and 110V or USB power outlets at each seat. Many newer coaches also offer Bluetooth audio, HDMI inputs for laptops or gaming consoles, and optional leatherette upholstery. Minibuses typically include reclining seats, A/C, PA system, and optional Wi-Fi/power outlets, but do not have restrooms or luggage bays. All vehicles have comfortable forward-facing seats with cloth or vinyl upholstery.

Yes, our Pasadena charter buses have plenty of luggage space for your group’s belongings. Full-size motorcoaches offer both overhead storage compartments inside the cabin and large undercarriage luggage bays beneath the bus. As a general rule, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase to be stored below the bus and one smaller carry-on bag or backpack to be placed in the overhead compartment. This makes it easy to transport everything from personal luggage to bulky equipment or event materials. If you have special baggage needs—such as musical instruments, sports gear, or presentation materials—just let us know when you book, and we’ll make sure you have a vehicle with adequate storage space.
