Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Schaumburg

A charter bus is a large, professionally operated motorcoach rented by a private group to provide customized, pre-arranged transportation on a schedule and route of the group’s choosing. Unlike fixed-route public transit or intercity buses, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the client—making it ideal for events, trips, or shuttles requiring coordinated group movement. Modern charter buses typically seat 35–56 passengers, offer luggage storage, and include amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, and Wi-Fi.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a restroom with toilet and sink. Standard amenities include reclining high-back seats with cloth or leatherette upholstery, individual reading lights, powerful climate control (heating and air conditioning), overhead parcel racks for carry-on items, large underfloor luggage bays for suitcases or equipment, and a full-size restroom at the rear of the coach with toilet and handwashing facilities. Most coaches feature flat-screen video monitors (1–4 per cabin), DVD/Blu-ray players, and a PA system with driver/lapel microphone. Wi-Fi is available on most newer models, supporting email, web browsing, and streaming to multiple devices; 110V AC power outlets and USB charging ports are located at every seat pair or in the armrests. Additional amenities can include forward-facing seats that recline up to 45 degrees, optional leatherette/vinyl upholstery, folding tray tables, card tables, and customizable interior/exterior colors (black, white, silver, custom wraps). Larger coaches may offer up to four video monitors, Bluetooth audio, and support for streaming devices. All coaches are cleaned and sanitized before each trip, with touch surfaces disinfected regularly. Optional upgrades include premium Wi-Fi, additional video screens, and beverage coolers. Charter Bus Company Schaumburg can accommodate special requests for specific amenities, bus models, or custom branding—just ask when booking.

Yes, every full-size charter bus (35–56+ seats) includes generous luggage space both inside the cabin and below the floor. Each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase or equipment bag (up to 50 lbs) for the undercarriage luggage bay, plus one carry-on item for the overhead parcel rack above their seat. For most trips, this means a standard roller bag or duffel below and a backpack, briefcase, or small tote inside the coach. The underfloor luggage bays span the width of the bus and can hold bulky items such as coolers, display cases, or athletic gear. Overhead racks run the length of the cabin for easy access to smaller bags, jackets, or personal items. If your group has extra luggage—such as musical instruments, team equipment, or trade show materials—we can allocate additional space or arrange a second bus. For very large or oversized items, we can provide a separate trailer or support vehicle. Please let us know in advance if you’ll be bringing anything unusually large or heavy so we can accommodate your needs.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Schaumburg offers ADA-accessible buses of all sizes in Schaumburg and anywhere your group needs to go. Many of the newer models from Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, and other manufacturers are available with full ADA accessibility, including wide entry doors, low-floor designs, and spacious interiors that can accommodate multiple wheelchairs or mobility devices. Our ADA-accessible buses feature wide entry doors, low-step or ramp access, flat non-slip flooring, and space to secure one or more wheelchairs or mobility devices. Larger coaches (40–56+ seats) can be equipped with powered wheelchair lifts capable of handling up to 800 lbs, while smaller minibuses (20–35 seats) may offer low-floor entry with a short ramp. The interior layout includes designated wheelchair bays with secure tie-downs, priority seating near the front for passengers with limited mobility, and handrails along the aisle for stability. The onboard restroom is ADA-compliant with a wide door, grab bars, and enough space to maneuver a wheelchair. All entryways, aisles, and doorways meet accessibility standards, and drivers are trained to assist passengers with boarding, alighting, and securing mobility devices. There is no additional charge for requesting an ADA-accessible vehicle, but please provide as much advance notice as possible so we can ensure the right vehicle is available.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2–6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, sports events, and weddings, so buses can book up quickly during these times. Large events at NOW Arena, wedding season, and school trip months fill up fast, so book 3–6 months out if possible. For summer weddings, spring field trips, or fall sports travel, try to reserve your bus at least three months ahead. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be more expensive and have limited vehicle options. If you’re planning a trip during a busy time of year or need multiple buses, booking early gives you the best selection and pricing.

The deposit amount is typically 20–30% of the total rental cost and is due when you sign the contract and confirm your booking. The remaining balance is usually due 7–14 days before departure. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. Full payment is required before the trip departs. For last-minute bookings, the entire amount may be due upfront. Our team will provide a clear payment schedule and send reminders as your trip date approaches.
