Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Norwalk, California

A charter bus is a large vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to one or more destinations. Unlike public buses with fixed routes, charter buses follow custom schedules set by the renter. They are commonly used for school field trips, corporate events, sports team travel, wedding shuttles, and long-distance tours. Charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and include amenities like cushioned seats, overhead storage, luggage bays, and sometimes restrooms. The main advantage of a charter bus is that it gives groups exclusive use of the vehicle so everyone can travel together on their own timetable.

Charter Bus Company Norwalk offers one of the largest fleets in Southern California with minibuses (18–35 seats), full-size charter buses (47–56 seats), entertainer coaches, and specialty vehicles. We provide Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, Starcraft, and Diamond models—so you can always get exactly what you need. Every bus has reclining seats, climate control, PA system, and luggage space.

Charter bus pricing depends on trip length, bus size, season, and amenities but most local rentals cost $1,100–$3,000+ total. Minibuses start around $125–$175 per hour with 5-hour minimums. Full-size coaches average $1,200–$2,400 per day for single-day trips within LA County. Weekend weddings or corporate shuttles may be quoted at flat rates between $1,500 and $2,000 depending on mileage. Multi-day charters for band tours or youth camps are billed by the day ($1,400–$2,100) plus lodging for driver. Use our instant quote tool to get exact pricing based on your itinerary and passenger count.

The main factors affecting charter bus prices are total mileage, trip duration, bus size, time of year, and special requests. Longer trips cost more because they require more fuel and driver hours. Larger buses with higher seat counts have higher base rates than minibuses. Peak seasons like spring break, summer weekends, and holiday periods may see surcharges due to high demand. Requests for luxury features (Wi-Fi, leather seats, restroom) or last-minute bookings can increase the quote. Additional expenses like parking fees, tolls, or overnight accommodations for driver are not included and must be arranged separately by the client.

Standard amenities on our charter buses include high-back reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, large tinted windows, overhead parcel racks, and underfloor luggage bays. Most models come with a microphone/PA system and flat-screen TV monitors linked to a DVD/CD player. Optional upgrades feature free Wi-Fi hotspot, 110V power outlets at every row, USB charging ports, adjustable footrests, tray tables, cup holders, and lavatory with sink. Premium packages offer plush leatherette upholstery, wood-look vinyl flooring, LED accent lighting, extra-wide seat pitch, rear-mounted beverage cooler, and custom exterior graphics for branding.

We regularly serve school districts (NLMUSD, ABC Unified), youth sports teams (AYSO soccer, NJB basketball), church groups, corporate commuters, film production crews, wedding planners, senior centers, and political campaign rallies. Popular uses include field trip transportation to Columbia Memorial Space Center, band/orchestra moves for Cerritos College events, employee shuttles from Metrolink station to office parks, and guest transfers between hotel blocks and banquet halls.

Consider group size, trip distance, budget, and desired amenities when choosing a bus. Small groups (20–30 people) can use a minibus which is cheaper and easier to park. Large groups (40–55 people) need a full-size coach with restroom and luggage bays. Short local trips may not require Wi-Fi or DVD screens but long journeys benefit from entertainment options. Sports teams and marching bands need extra storage for equipment cases. Wedding shuttles often request white exterior and Bluetooth sound system. Corporate clients prefer cloth seats, USB ports, and company logo decals. Always choose a slightly larger capacity than headcount to allow for last-minute additions.
