A charter bus is a large, professionally operated vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to a specific destination or event. Unlike a scheduled public bus, a charter bus follows a custom itinerary set by the client. These buses are commonly used for school trips, corporate outings, weddings, sports team travel, and multi-day tours. They offer comfortable seating, climate control, and optional amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and onboard restrooms. In West Jordan, charter buses are often used for trips to Salt Lake City, ski resorts, regional airports, and local event venues.

A charter bus is a large, boxy vehicle typically 40–45 feet long with a high roofline and smooth, windowed sides. Most have a white or neutral exterior, sometimes with company branding or custom wraps. The front features a wide windshield and integrated headlights; the rear is squared-off for luggage access. Windows are tinted and evenly spaced. Below the windows, luggage bays run the length of the bus. There’s a single door at the front-right, with 3–4 steps up. The roof may have low-profile AC units. Overall, it’s built for capacity and comfort, not style—though newer models look sleek and modern.

Most full-size charter buses in West Jordan seat between 50 and 56 passengers, which is standard for models like the Van Hool CX45 or Prevost H3-45. Smaller minibuses can seat anywhere from 18 to 35 passengers, depending on the exact model. If you need something even larger, we can provide multiple buses to accommodate groups of any size. When you call for a quote, let us know your headcount and we’ll make sure you get a vehicle that fits everyone comfortably.

Anyone who needs to move a large group of people at once can rent a bus! We work with schools, sports teams, businesses, wedding parties, concertgoers, church groups, military organizations, construction crews, and more. Some people book a bus for a single day or event, while others need ongoing transportation for weeks or months at a time. Even families or friends planning a big reunion or vacation can rent a bus to travel together. If you’re not sure whether a bus is right for your group, give us a call and we’ll be happy to help.

We offer a full range of vehicles in West Jordan, including 18-passenger minibuses, 20-passenger minibuses, 25-passenger minibuses, and 56-passenger full-size charter buses. Our fleet includes models from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, and Temsa. If you’re not sure which size is best for your group, our team can help you choose the right vehicle based on your headcount, budget, and trip itinerary. We can also provide multiple buses for very large groups or split pickups.

A charter bus (or coach bus) is a large, comfortable vehicle designed for group travel over short or long distances. It seats up to 56 passengers and offers amenities like reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and restrooms. A party bus is a smaller vehicle (often built from a limousine or minibus) with a dance floor, colorful lighting, sound system, and wraparound seating—perfect for celebrations and nightlife. An entertainer bus (or sleeper bus) is a custom motorcoach used by bands and performers, featuring bunks, a lounge, kitchen, and entertainment center for touring. We can provide any of these options in West Jordan—just ask!

Most modern charter buses come standard with cushioned, reclining seats, strong air conditioning, overhead reading lights, and luggage storage both inside and under the bus. Many also include free WiFi, individual power outlets or USB ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, and an onboard restroom. Newer models may offer forward-facing PA systems, Bluetooth audio, and optional leather upholstery. Larger groups can request matching buses for consistency. If you need something specific—like tray tables, extra monitor screens, or custom branding—just ask when booking.

Yes, most newer charter buses offer onboard WiFi that supports basic browsing, email, and social media on phones and tablets. The connection uses cellular data and works well in urban and suburban areas, but speed may drop in rural zones or canyons. Streaming video, large downloads, and Zoom calls aren’t always reliable—bandwidth is shared across the bus and prioritized for light use. If strong WiFi is essential, request a bus with upgraded service. Some operators offer premium plans or can add a second hotspot for a fee. Always confirm WiFi availability when booking; older buses may not have it standard.

A full-size charter bus offers generous luggage space for large groups. Each bus has undercarriage bays that can hold one large suitcase per passenger—similar to airline carry-on or checked-bag sizes. For a 56-seat coach, that’s roughly 50–55 roller bags below deck. Inside the cabin, overhead racks run along both sides for smaller items: backpacks, laptop cases, gym bags, and jackets. These compartments resemble airline overhead bins but are open and easy to access. If your group travels light, there’s room to spare; if everyone brings a big bag plus a carry-on, it all fits comfortably. For oversized gear (skis, band instruments, sports equipment), ask ahead—most items fit, but it’s best to confirm.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible charter buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. We believe everyone deserves safe, comfortable transportation, so just let us know your accessibility needs when you request a quote. Our team will make sure you get a vehicle that meets all ADA requirements and accommodates every member of your group. We’ve worked with schools, senior centers, and disability advocacy groups across West Jordan and Salt Lake County.

Yes, you can wrap a charter bus with your own custom graphics, but there are some conditions. You’ll need to coordinate with our team in advance to make sure the design meets our guidelines and doesn’t cover any required markings or windows. There may be additional fees for installation and removal, and you’ll be responsible for any damage caused by the wrap. This is a popular option for sports teams, corporate branding, and special events. Ask your reservation specialist about wrapping options when you book.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model or color, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your preference. We have several popular models in our fleet, including the Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, and Setra S417. Common colors include white, black, silver, and gray. While we can’t always guarantee a specific model or color due to scheduling and availability, we’ll note your request and assign it if possible. If you have a strong preference, mention it when booking so we can check availability and offer the closest match.

The cost of a charter bus rental in West Jordan typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 per day, depending on the size of the bus, distance traveled, duration of the trip, and time of year. Local trips are usually billed by the hour (with a 4- or 5-hour minimum), while longer trips are charged by the mile or by the day. For example, a one-day local rental might cost $1,400–$2,000, while a multi-day out-of-state trip could run $5,000 or more.

Minibus rentals in West Jordan generally cost less than full-size charter buses, with rates ranging from $650 to $2,200 per day. Smaller 18- to 25-passenger minibuses are ideal for short local trips, airport transfers, and shuttles between nearby cities. Pricing is typically hourly for local service and mileage-based for longer trips. Factors like trip duration, distance, and minibus size will affect the final cost. For the most accurate pricing, call Charter Bus Rental West Jordan at 385-556-6970 with your trip details and we’ll provide a quick, all-inclusive quote.

Several factors affect the price of a charter bus rental: the size and type of bus (minibuses cost less than full-size coaches), the distance and duration of your trip (local trips are hourly; longer trips are per mile or per day), the time of year (spring and summer are peak season), and any special requests like custom wraps or luxury amenities. Additional costs can include tolls, parking, lodging for the driver on overnight trips, and fuel surcharges. Get an exact quote fast by calling us at 385-556-6970.

Your quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, insurance, and all standard amenities (WiFi, power outlets, A/C, etc.). It covers either a set number of hours (for local trips) or all mileage and driving time (for longer trips). Tolls and taxes are included if specified in advance. Not included: parking fees, entrance charges, or hotel rooms for the driver on overnight trips—those are billed separately. Gratuity isn’t included but is recommended (10–20% typical). Any extras—like custom wraps, trailer rental, or premium WiFi—are quoted upfront. Your reservation specialist will itemize everything so there are no surprises. Ask about anything not listed; we aim for clear, all-inclusive pricing.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and summer are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sports events, so popular dates can sell out quickly. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be more expensive and offer fewer vehicle options. For large events or multi-bus rentals, booking 6 months to a year ahead is recommended. Call us anytime at 385-556-6970 to check availability and get a quote.

Yes, we offer flexible packages to fit any itinerary. You can book a one-way trip (to the airport or another city), a round trip (out and back the same day), or a multi-day rental with the bus staying overnight. Multi-day packages are common for sports tournaments, conferences, and out-of-town excursions. The bus remains with your group for local shuttles and returns home at the end. Just provide your schedule when requesting a quote—we’ll tailor the rental to your needs and include all costs upfront.

Yes, we specialize in long-distance and out-of-state trips. Common destinations include Las Vegas, Denver, Boise, Reno, and Southern California—but we’ll go anywhere you need. The rate is based on mileage and includes driver lodging, tolls, and fuel. For very long trips, a second driver may be required to comply with hours-of-service rules. The bus stays with your group for the duration of the trip, providing local transportation at the destination. One-way and multi-day packages are available. Contact us with your itinerary for a custom quote.

Yes, on overnight trips, the customer is responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The room should be reserved in advance and must be at least a two-star property (no motels or budget inns). Ideally, the driver’s hotel should be close to the group’s lodging or event venue—within 10 minutes’ drive. Many hotels offer complimentary rooms for bus drivers when booking multiple rooms for the group. Ask your hotel about “comp” rooms for motorcoach drivers. If the driver’s room is not prepaid, the cost will be added to the final bill.

Book early—at least 2–3 months ahead for the best availability and rates, especially in spring and fall. Have your headcount, itinerary, and special requests ready when you call. That includes exact pickup/drop-off addresses, departure times, and any parking or loading restrictions. Ask about amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and DVD screens—newer buses have them, older ones may not. Budget for extras: tolls, parking, and driver gratuity (10–15% is standard). For overnight trips, you’ll need to book a hotel room for the driver. Confirm cancellation and refund policies before signing. Finally, communicate changes promptly—schedule shifts, headcount adjustments, and special needs should be relayed ASAP. A smooth trip starts with good planning and clear communication.
