A charter bus is a large, professionally operated vehicle rented by a private group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike fixed-route public transit or intercity services like Greyhound, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the client—making it ideal for moving groups to specific events, meetings, or destinations that aren’t served by regular bus lines. In Longmont, charter buses are commonly used for corporate outings to Boulder, wedding guest shuttles between venues and hotels, school field trips to Denver museums or Estes Park, and sports team travel across the Front Range.

Most full-size charter buses in Longmont are 40-45 feet long, about 12 feet tall, and 8.5 feet wide—roughly the size of a single tractor-trailer. They have a boxy, aerodynamic shape with a flat front, large tinted side windows, and a high passenger floor above the wheels. Exterior colors are usually white, black, silver, or gray, though custom wraps and decals are available. The sides often feature luggage bay doors below the windows, and the rear may have additional storage or engine access. Front and rear destination signs are optional. Buses typically display the operator’s logo near the front door. Common models include the Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Van Hool CX45, and Setra S417—all with a similar professional appearance.

Full-size charter buses in Longmont typically seat 50 to 56 passengers, depending on the exact model and interior configuration. For example, an MCI J4500 can accommodate up to 56 riders, while a Prevost H3-45 usually seats between 54 and 56. Smaller 35-foot coaches offer 40 to 47 seats. Folding seats near the front allow for wheelchair access, reducing capacity by two seats per ADA position. Standard seating is 2x2 across the aisle with optional reclining backs and headrests. Minibuses carry 18 to 35 passengers, while larger “double-decker” coaches can handle up to 60. Most Longmont rentals fall in the 50-56 range—ideal for moving big groups on one vehicle.

Anyone who needs to move a group of people from point A to point B can rent a charter bus! In Longmont, we frequently work with schools booking field trip transportation to places like the Longmont Museum or Denver Zoo; couples planning wedding shuttle services to venues such as The St Vrain; businesses arranging employee shuttles or corporate event transportation to Boulder tech campuses; sports teams needing away game travel; and even groups of friends planning private outings like brewery tours or concert trips. We also provide hospital transportation for medical staff at facilities like UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital, assisted living transportation for seniors, and emergency evacuation services when needed.

We offer a full range of vehicles from 18-seat minibuses to 56-seat motorcoaches, plus party buses (15–40 seats) and entertainer coaches (6–12 bunks). Minibuses (18–35 seats) are ideal for airport transfers to Denver International Airport, hotel shuttles, or small event groups. Full-size coaches (36–56 seats) handle large groups, school trips, or multi-day tours with room for everyone. Party buses (15–40 seats) feature wraparound seating and sound systems for weddings or nights out. Entertainer coaches (6–12 bunks) serve bands and VIPs with lounge areas and private rooms. All vehicles can be customized with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and PA systems. We proudly serve all of Longmont—including downtown, Harvest Junction, Prospect, and Clover Basin—as well as nearby Boulder, Loveland, and Estes Park.

A charter bus (also called a coach bus) is a standard passenger vehicle designed to transport 30-56 people comfortably over short or long distances. It has forward-facing seats, luggage bays, restrooms, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi. A party bus is built for social events and features perimeter seating, dance floors, lighting effects, and sound systems—seating 15-40 people but with less luggage space. An entertainer bus (or sleeper coach) is made for touring performers and has 6-12 bunk beds, lounge areas, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower. It sleeps fewer people but offers living space for multi-day trips. In Longmont, we offer all three types: coach buses for group travel; party buses for weddings, brewery tours, and nights out; and entertainer coaches for bands or VIP groups needing on-board sleeping quarters.

Most modern charter buses come standard with plush reclining seats, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, reading lights, and a full PA system for announcements or guided tours. Larger coaches typically include six video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth audio, and 110V power outlets at every row. Fast 4G/5G Wi-Fi is available on request. There’s a spacious restroom mid-cabin with running water and hand sanitizer. Full-length luggage bays below the floor hold all your gear. Optional upgrades include USB ports at every seat, leather upholstery, tray tables, and custom headrest covers. We can also provide coaches pre-wired for streaming video, Zoom calls, or gaming consoles if your group needs extra connectivity on the road.

Yes, most of our Longmont charter buses can be equipped with onboard Wi-Fi. This amenity is available on many modern models and allows passengers to check email, stream music, browse social media, or even join video calls while on the road. If having Wi-Fi is important for your trip—especially for longer routes to destinations like Denver International Airport or Fort Collins—let your reservation specialist know when you request a quote. We’ll make sure your vehicle has a strong, reliable connection. Just keep in mind that bandwidth may be limited if everyone tries to stream video at once, so encourage your group to download large files ahead of time.

A standard 56-passenger charter bus offers up to 500 cubic feet of luggage space—enough for one large suitcase plus a carry-on bag per passenger. Most full-size coaches have three belly bays below the floor, each holding 6–8 large roller bags, plus overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for backpacks and smaller items. For a typical Longmont group heading to Denver International Airport or on a weekend sports trip, everyone’s gear will fit comfortably. Traveling with bulky items like coolers, band equipment, or skis? Let us know in advance—we’ll assign a coach with extra storage, or bring a trailer if needed. Smaller minibuses have less baggage room, but for most day trips, there’s plenty of space for everyone’s essentials.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Just ask!

Yes, you can wrap your charter bus with a custom design, logo, or advertisement—perfect for corporate branding, special events, or team travel. Full wraps cover the entire exterior, while partial wraps or vinyl decals can be applied to specific areas. You’ll need to provide the artwork and coordinate installation with a professional graphics company. Additional fees apply for both wrapping and removal, and any wrap must comply with safety regulations and not obstruct windows or emergency exits. Contact our team in advance to arrange scheduling and get exact specifications for your vehicle.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model or color, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your preference based on fleet availability. If you need a particular make—such as a Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, or Van Hool CX45—or want your coach in white, black, silver, or another standard color, let us know when you book. While we carry several popular models in multiple colors, exact choices depend on what’s available the day of your trip. We’ll confirm your request ahead of time or offer the closest available alternative. For groups that require matching vehicles—like sports teams, corporate clients, or wedding parties—we can often provide multiple coaches of the same model and color for a uniform appearance.

Charter bus pricing depends on the type and size of vehicle, trip distance, duration, time of year, and any special requests. Large coaches cost more than minibuses; longer trips and multi-day charters add mileage and driver hours. Peak demand in spring and fall raises rates. Additional fees may include tolls, parking, driver lodging, and optional amenities such as Wi-Fi or custom wraps. One-way trips are more expensive if the bus returns empty. Last-minute bookings pay higher rates. Get an exact quote by calling 720-899-5940 with your itinerary and group size.

Your quote covers the bus, driver, fuel, insurance, and standard amenities such as A/C, reclining seats, and luggage bays. Optional extras include Wi-Fi, power outlets, DVD screens, and PA systems. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, and driver lodging on overnight trips. The price is all-inclusive except for gratuity and incidental expenses.

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 for school trips, weddings, and sports events, so buses sell out quickly. For major events or holiday weekends, reserve 6-12 months ahead. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be more expensive and have limited vehicle options.

Yes, on overnight trips the client is responsible for providing and paying for the driver’s hotel room. The hotel must offer secure parking for the bus and be within reasonable proximity to the group’s accommodations. Most clients book the driver’s room at the same hotel as the group for convenience. For multi-day trips, drivers require a minimum of eight hours off-duty between shifts. Single-day trips do not require lodging, but any tolls or parking fees are also the client’s responsibility.

First, book early—especially for spring and fall events when buses are in high demand. Have a detailed itinerary with addresses and times for each stop to ensure accurate scheduling. Choose a pickup location with ample space for a large vehicle, such as a school, church, or shopping center parking lot. Budget for additional expenses like tolls, parking, and driver gratuity (typically 10-20%). Communicate any special needs, such as ADA accessibility or extra luggage space, when booking. Finally, designate a group leader to coordinate with the driver and keep the trip on schedule.
