Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Austin, Texas

A charter bus is a large, comfortable vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the group that hires it, making it ideal for events like corporate outings, school trips, weddings, sports team travel, or multi-day tours. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and offer amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and luggage storage.

Charter Bus Company Austin offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Austin, including vehicles from 15 to 56+ seats. Our lineup includes 15-, 18-, 20-, 25-, 28-, 30-, 35-, and 56-passenger vehicles, with multiple options at each size point. We carry vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (J4500, D4500), Setra (S417), Temsa, and Irizar, including several of the newest models available. Many sizes are available in multiple colors—black, white, silver, blue, red—or with custom wraps. We also offer party buses (20–40 passengers), minibuses (18–35 passengers), and sprinter vans (up to 15 passengers) for smaller groups or special events. If you need an ADA-accessible vehicle, we can provide one at any size. Our fleet is available across Austin, including downtown, The Domain, UT campus, South Congress, and the airport area.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, PA system, flat-screen video monitors, DVD player, Wi-Fi, 110V or USB power outlets, and a restroom. Many newer models offer leatherette upholstery, forward-facing or optional conference seating, and upgraded sound systems. Larger buses (40+ seats) typically have 2–6 video screens and multiple power outlets; smaller buses may have fewer. Premium options like all-leather seats, hardwood-style flooring, or custom branding are available on request. Minibuses (18–35 seats) include similar amenities but may lack a restroom or have fewer video screens. Party buses feature wraparound seating, LED lighting, powerful sound systems, and space for coolers or beverages. Sprinter vans offer comfortable seating, climate control, and optional Wi-Fi/power but no restroom. All vehicles are cleaned before each trip, with amenities confirmed at booking. If you need something specific—strong Wi-Fi, extra screens, conference seating—let us know when you request your quote.

Yes, all full-size charter buses (40–56 seats) have generous luggage space with both overhead compartments inside the cabin and large undercarriage bays beneath the floor. For a typical trip, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase or duffel bag to be stored below the bus and one smaller carry-on item (backpack, tote, briefcase) to be placed in the overhead rack above their seat. The undercarriage bays are spacious enough to accommodate bulky items like sports equipment, musical instruments, or display materials for conventions and trade shows. If your group has extra luggage—such as additional suitcases, large cases, or special equipment—please mention this when booking so we can assign a bus with sufficient capacity or make alternative arrangements. Minibuses (18–35 seats) have limited luggage space, typically with only overhead racks and a small rear cargo area, so they are best suited for groups traveling light. For airport transfers, out-of-town trips, or events requiring substantial baggage, a full-size charter bus will provide the storage space you need.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Austin can provide ADA-accessible buses of any size, including full-size (40–56 seats), mid-size (30–39 seats), and smaller minibuses (18–29 seats). Our ADA-accessible vehicles are equipped with a wheelchair lift, wider aisles, designated securement areas for mobility devices, and handrails or grab bars for ease of movement. On a full-size (56-passenger) coach, up to two wheelchairs can typically be accommodated while still seating 50+ ambulatory passengers; additional wheelchair spaces can be provided if needed, with a corresponding reduction in standard seating. Minibuses can usually accommodate one wheelchair user along with other passengers. If you require an ADA-accessible vehicle, please specify this when requesting your quote so we can assign a properly equipped bus and ensure your exact needs are met.

Several factors can affect the price of your charter bus rental in Austin, including the size and type of vehicle, the length and duration of the trip, the time of year, and any special requests or additional services. Larger vehicles and newer models typically cost more than smaller or older buses. Trips that require the bus to travel a long distance, stay overnight, or make multiple stops will be more expensive than simple, local transfers. Peak seasons for tourism, school events, or major festivals can also result in higher prices due to increased demand. Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations for overnight trips.

It’s best to book your Austin 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 especially busy due to school trips, sports events, and festivals like SXSW and ACL, so advance booking is crucial during these times. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer limited vehicle choices. For major events or peak seasons, booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended.

For bookings made less than 14 days before departure, full payment is required upfront. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract.
