Bus Rentals in Oak Park, Illinois

A charter bus is a private, large-capacity vehicle rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike public buses or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client’s party—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, wedding, or any other organization—making pickups, drop-offs, and stops exactly where and when the group needs. Modern charter buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and include amenities for comfort on short or long trips.

Charter Bus Company Oak Park offers a full range of vehicles from 15 to 35-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, plus several specialty and party bus options. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, and Champion—so you can always get exactly the size and style of bus your group needs. We serve Oak Park and all of west Cook County, including River Forest, Forest Park, Berwyn, Cicero, and more.

Most modern charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, and undercarriage luggage bays. Many also feature flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, a public address system, 110V power outlets, USB charging ports, and onboard Wi-Fi. Larger coaches often have one or two restroom facilities. Optional amenities may include leather upholstery, tray tables, footrests, and beverage stations. Some newer models offer Bluetooth audio, HDMI inputs for gaming consoles, and advanced HVAC filtration systems. Ask your provider about specific amenities when booking.

Yes, all our Oak Park charter buses have ample luggage space. Full-size motorcoaches offer both overhead compartments inside the cabin and large undercarriage storage bays beneath the bus. For most trips, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase to be stored below and one smaller carry-on bag or backpack for the overhead compartment. This setup is ideal for groups traveling with sports equipment, musical instruments, or extra baggage. Minibuses have limited luggage space but can still accommodate carry-ons and a few larger bags.
