Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Moline

A charter bus is a large, professionally operated motorcoach that groups can rent by the hour, day, or mile to provide private, pre-arranged transportation on the schedule and route of their choice. Unlike a public bus or fixed-route service, a charter bus operates exclusively for the hiring party—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, wedding party, or any other organization—making custom pickups, drop-offs, and stops as requested. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and include comfortable, forward-facing seats, climate control, luggage bays, and optional onboard amenities.

Charter Bus Company Moline offers a wide range of buses in Moline and the Quad Cities region, including full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches, mid-size 25 to 35-passenger minibuses, and several models of 15 to 28-passenger minibus, and 18 to 40-passenger party buses. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (J4500, D4505), Setra (S417), Temsa, Grech Motors (GM33, GM36), Turtle Top, and more. We can also provide smaller sprinter-style shuttles (10–15 seats) and ADA-accessible coaches with up to two wheelchair positions. Most vehicles are available in multiple exterior colors.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining cloth or leatherette seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a restroom. Standard amenities include free onboard Wi-Fi, 110V/USB power outlets at every seat, and one to five flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray input; many coaches offer HDMI hookups for laptops or gaming consoles and Bluetooth-enabled sound systems. Larger models feature full cabin PA systems with a wired or wireless microphone. Optional upgrades include leatherette seating, tray tables, and custom logo signage. Minibuses offer similar amenities, though without a restroom or underfloor luggage.

Yes—every full-size charter bus includes both overhead parcel racks and spacious undercarriage luggage bays. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one large suitcase or equipment bag (up to 50 lbs.) for the undercarriage plus one carry-on–size bag or backpack for the overhead rack. For groups with extra gear—such as sports teams, bands, or convention exhibitors—we can recommend a coach with expanded luggage bays or arrange a second vehicle. Minibuses offer overhead racks and limited rear cargo space but no undercarriage bays. If you’re traveling with bulky items, please ask about storage capacity when booking.

All onboard amenities remain available, and the driver will assist with boarding and exiting at each stop.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Moline: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the distance and duration of the trip, the time of year, and any special amenities or requests. Peak seasons—such as spring and fall for school trips, or summer for weddings and festivals—can lead to higher rates due to increased demand. Major local events, like concerts at Vibrant Arena or sports tournaments, may also impact pricing. Additional costs can include tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging for overnight trips.

For trips during major local events or holidays, consider booking even earlier. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer limited vehicle options.
