A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed to transport 40-57 passengers comfortably over short or long distances. These buses are ideal for moving big groups together and come equipped with amenities such as cushioned reclining seats, air conditioning, free WiFi, power outlets, TV monitors with DVD players, PA systems, onboard restrooms, and ample storage space for luggage or equipment. Charter buses are commonly used for intercity travel, tours, sporting events, conventions, and any situation where keeping everyone together on one vehicle is important.

A minibus is a smaller version of a charter bus, typically seating between 18-35 passengers. Minibuses are perfect for shuttling medium-sized groups around town, running airport transfers, or providing last-mile connections from park-and-ride lots to downtown offices. While they may not have all the features of a full-size coach, many minibuses still offer comfortable seating, climate control, overhead storage racks, and optional extras like WiFi or USB charging ports. Their compact size makes them easier to navigate through city streets and park in tighter spaces.

Charter buses in our fleet can accommodate anywhere from 40 to 57 passengers depending on the specific model and configuration. The most common sizes are 47-passenger, 50-passenger, and 56-passenger coaches. Each seat is typically arranged in pairs along both sides of a central aisle, with enough legroom for adults to sit comfortably during long rides. If you’re unsure what size bus your group requires, our team can help you choose based on your headcount and travel itinerary.

Minibuses generally have seating capacities ranging from 18 to 35 passengers. Popular options include 20-passenger, 25-passenger, and 30-passenger layouts. Unlike larger charter buses, minibuses do not usually feature onboard restrooms but still provide comfortable padded seats and basic amenities suited for short-distance trips. They are an excellent choice for groups too large for multiple vans but not quite big enough to fill a full-size coach.

Our fleet includes several types of buses to suit different group sizes and trip requirements. Full-size charter buses seat 40-57 passengers and are best for long-distance travel or transporting large crowds. Minibuses come in 18, 24, 28, and 35-seat configurations, offering a balance between capacity and maneuverability. Sprinter vans hold 10-15 people and are great for small teams or executive shuttles. Party buses vary from 15 to 30 seats and feature lounge-style interiors with lighting and sound systems. All vehicles are maintained to high standards and equipped with the latest safety features.

We offer a wide range of amenities to enhance your riding experience. Standard features include free WiFi so you can stay connected, power outlets and USB ports for charging devices, flat-screen TVs with DVD players for entertainment, reclining seats with footrests, individual reading lights, overhead parcel racks, and spacious undercarriage storage bays. Premium options like leather upholstery, hardwood-style flooring, tinted windows, PA systems, and even catering tables are available upon request. Let us know what your group needs and we’ll match you with the right vehicle.

Yes, many of our buses come equipped with AUX and/or Bluetooth connectivity allowing you to play your own playlists through the onboard speakers. This is especially popular on party buses and minibuses used for social outings or celebrations. If having control over the music is important for your event, please mention this when booking so we can assign a vehicle with compatible audio inputs.

Charter buses offer generous luggage capacity with both overhead racks inside the cabin and large external compartments below the floor. A typical 56-passenger coach can hold up to 1000 pounds of baggage spread across multiple bays – enough for everyone’s suitcases, coolers, sports gear, or presentation materials. Minibuses have smaller storage areas suitable for carry-on bags or backpacks but may not accommodate oversized items. If your group is traveling with extra-large or unusual cargo (like bicycles or musical instruments), let us know in advance to ensure proper arrangements.

Absolutely. We believe everyone deserves access to safe and comfortable transportation regardless of physical ability. Our fleet includes ADA-compliant vehicles fitted with wheelchair lifts or ramps, designated securement spaces, wider aisles, grab handles, and accessible restrooms. Please specify any mobility requirements when requesting a quote so we can reserve an appropriate bus and schedule additional assistance if needed.

Yes, we allow exterior wraps or decals for branding purposes. Whether you want to display company logos, advertise sponsors, or decorate the bus for a themed event, we can accommodate custom graphics applied by professional installers. There may be additional fees involved depending on the size and duration of the wrap. All designs must comply with local regulations and not obstruct windows required for emergency egress.

We will do our best to honor requests for particular makes, models, or colors within our available inventory. Popular brands include MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, Temsa, Grech Motors, and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Color choices are typically white, black, or blue but may vary by location. While we cannot guarantee exact specifications due to scheduling constraints, early reservations increase the likelihood of securing your preferred vehicle.

The price of renting a charter bus depends on several factors such as distance traveled, duration of service, passenger count, and amenity package. For example, a one-day round trip from Broomfield to Colorado Springs (about 90 miles each way) might cost between $1,200-$1,800 for a standard 56-passenger coach. Multi-day tours, peak season dates, or premium features like leather seats and onboard restroom will affect the final quote. Contact us with your itinerary details for an accurate estimate tailored to your needs.

Minibus rentals are generally more affordable than full-size coaches, with rates starting around $650-$950 per day for local use within Broomfield County. Trips extending into Denver, Boulder, or Fort Collins may run $1,000-$1,400 depending on mileage and hours required. Exact pricing varies based on supply and demand, so booking early can help lock in lower rates. Ask about discounts for non-profit organizations, schools, or repeat customers.

Key variables influencing the cost include total mileage, number of days/hours the bus is needed, size/type of vehicle selected, level of amenities requested, time of year (high demand during summer/fall), and whether overnight stays are involved. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking fees, driver lodging, cleaning after messy events, or last-minute changes to the schedule. Providing complete information upfront allows us to give you the most accurate and transparent quote possible.

Your quote covers the base rental fee for the bus and driver, fuel for the planned route, standard amenities (WiFi, power, A/C), insurance coverage, and basic cleaning after the trip. It does not include optional extras like catering, event tickets, hotel rooms for overnight trips, gratuity for the driver, or damage beyond normal wear and tear. Any special requests should be discussed during the booking process so they can be factored into the contract.

We recommend reserving your bus as soon as your dates and headcount are confirmed, ideally 3-6 months ahead for large or complex itineraries. Spring and summer weekends tend to fill up quickly due to graduations, weddings, and festivals. Last-minute bookings (less than 2 weeks out) are possible but selection may be limited and prices higher. Early planners benefit from greater choice and peace of mind knowing their transportation is secured.

Yes, we provide flexible rental options to match your schedule. One-way charters are common for airport transfers or point-to-point moves. Round trips keep the bus with your group for return service at the end of the day. Multi-day packages are ideal for touring teams, band competitions, or corporate retreats requiring continuous mobility over several days. We can customize pickup/dropoff times and locations to fit your agenda.

Absolutely. Our buses regularly travel throughout Colorado and neighboring states such as Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, and beyond. Popular long-distance routes include Broomfield to Aspen/Snowmass for ski trips, Broomfield to Salt Lake City for conventions, or Broomfield to Omaha for collegiate sports tournaments. Rest assured we have the resources and experience to handle journeys of any length safely and efficiently.

If your itinerary involves overnight stays away from Broomfield, you are responsible for providing a separate hotel room for the driver each night. This ensures they have adequate rest between shifts. The room does not need to be luxurious but should be clean, private, and located near the rest of the group’s lodging. For multi-day trips, plan to budget for these expenses in addition to the bus rental fee.

We will review your request and send a customized proposal outlining the options and pricing available. There is no obligation until you decide to book.

Plan your itinerary with buffer time for traffic delays, especially if traveling on US-36 or I-25 during rush hour. Confirm parking arrangements at all stops, as some venues require advance permits or have height restrictions. Pack snacks and water for longer rides since not all buses have vending machines. Communicate clearly with your group about departure times and rules for onboard behavior. Lastly, tip your driver if satisfied with the service—10-20% is customary but not mandatory.
