Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Lombard, Illinois

A charter bus is a large, full-size motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together on pre-arranged schedules and routes. Unlike public transit or fixed-route buses, a charter bus is rented (or “chartered”) privately by a single group—such as a school, company, sports team, or wedding party—for exclusive use. The group sets the pickup location, itinerary, and drop-off point. Modern charter buses typically seat 35 to 56 passengers and include amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional Wi-Fi or video screens.

Charter Bus Company Lombard offers a wide range of buses in Lombard and the western suburbs, including full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches, mid-size 35 to 40-passenger coaches, and several models of minibuses seating 18 to 28.
