Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Temple

A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike a public bus or pre-sold tour, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client—whether that’s a school, business, sports team, wedding party, or any other organization—offering flexible pickup, drop-off, and stopping points. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and are equipped with comfortable, forward-facing seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional amenities like WiFi and video monitors.

Charter Bus Company Temple offers a wide range of buses in Temple, from 15-passenger and 28-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size charter buses, as well as party buses, school buses, and several specialty vehicles. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech Motors, Turtle Top, and Champion, so you can easily get the best and most comfortable bus for your group. We can also provide multiple buses or mixed fleets for large or complex moves.

Most modern buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, luggage bays, and overhead parcel racks. Larger buses (30+ seats) often feature flat-screen monitors, DVD players, a PA system, and a restroom. Many newer coaches offer 4G/5G Wi-Fi, USB/power outlets at every seat, and Bluetooth audio. Optional amenities include leather upholstery, forward-facing tables, and custom branding. Minibuses (15–28 seats) have similar seating and climate control but fewer entertainment options and no restroom. Ask about specific amenities when booking.

Yes! Nearly all full-size charter buses (40–56 seats) have large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold one large suitcase per passenger, plus carry-on items. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin are perfect for backpacks, briefcases, or smaller bags. As a rule of thumb, each person can bring one full-size bag underneath and one carry-on-sized bag above. Minibuses (15–28 seats) typically have only interior storage—either rear cargo space or overhead shelves—which limits luggage capacity to smaller items. If your group has extra baggage, sports equipment, or bulky items, mention this when booking so we can recommend a vehicle with adequate storage.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Temple can provide ADA-accessible buses in Temple and across Bell County. Many of our newer minibuses and full-size coaches are equipped with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and designated securement areas. Just let us know your accessibility requirements when requesting a quote, and we’ll make sure your vehicle meets all ADA standards.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Temple: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the total distance and duration of the trip, the time of year (spring and fall are peak seasons), and any special amenities requested (like Wi-Fi or custom wraps). Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging for overnight trips can also affect the final price. Large events at venues like the Bell County Expo Center or regional sports tournaments may impact availability and rates.

It’s best to book your 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 especially busy due to school trips, sports seasons, and weddings, so advance booking is crucial during these times. For large events or complex itineraries, even more lead time is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be subject to higher rates and limited vehicle selection.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The remaining balance is typically due 30 days before the trip date. For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, full payment is required upfront. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract, and our team is available to answer any billing questions you may have.
