Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Cleveland, Ohio

A charter bus is a large, professionally operated motorcoach rented by a private group for custom transportation. Unlike scheduled public buses, a charter bus runs on the exact itinerary set by the client—making it ideal for events, trips, or shuttles requiring group travel between specific locations. Modern charter buses seat 40–56 passengers, offer luggage storage, and feature amenities like reclining seats, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and restrooms. Smaller “minibuses” with 18–35 seats are also available for shorter or lower-capacity trips.

Charter Bus Company Cleveland offers a full range of vehicles from 15- to 35-passenger minibuses to 40- to 56-passenger full-size charter buses, plus party buses (10–40 passengers) and specialty vehicles. Our fleet includes top models like the Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, and Temsa HD for large groups, as well as Grech Motors (GM28/GM36), Turtle Top VT3, and Champion Challenger minibuses. We can also provide ADA-accessible coaches and custom-wrap vehicles. Buses are available in black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, or custom colors.

Most modern buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, and underfloor luggage bays. Standard amenities include free Wi-Fi, 110V/USB power outlets at every seat, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth audio, and a PA system with a cordless microphone. Larger coaches (40+ seats) have a full-size restroom with a handwashing station. Additional options include leather upholstery, tray tables, forward-facing or conference seating, and custom branding or window wraps. Premium models offer upgraded sound systems, HDMI inputs, and optional beverage coolers.

Yes, all full-size charter buses (40+ seats) have generous luggage space with both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage baggage bays below the floor. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase or equipment case for the underfloor bay plus one carry-on bag or backpack for the overhead rack. This is sufficient for groups traveling with standard luggage, sports gear, trade show materials, or musical instruments. If you have oversized items—such as coolers, folding tables, or band equipment—please mention this when booking so we can assign a coach with extra baggage capacity. Minibuses (15–35 seats) have overhead racks and a small rear cargo area but no underfloor bays; these are best for groups with light luggage.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Cleveland can provide ADA-accessible buses of any size, including both minibuses and full-size coaches. Our accessible vehicles are equipped with a wheelchair lift (800 lb. capacity), wide entry doors, slip-resistant flooring, and securement areas for up to two mobility devices. The cabin layout allows for easy maneuvering, with priority seating near the front, grab rails, and accessible restroom facilities on larger coaches. Advance notice is appreciated so we can assign a vehicle that meets all accessibility requirements for your group.

Several factors affect the cost of renting a charter bus in Cleveland: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the length and duration of the trip (hourly, daily, or mileage-based), the time of year (peak season rates apply during spring and fall), and any special amenities requested (Wi-Fi, leather seats, custom wraps). Additional charges may include tolls, parking fees, driver lodging for overnight trips, and fuel surcharges. Major events—such as Browns, Guardians, or Cavaliers games, concerts, and downtown festivals—can impact pricing due to increased demand and traffic congestion.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sports events, so buses can sell out quickly. For large events or multi-day trips, 6 to 12 months’ notice is recommended. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited availability and higher prices. Contact Charter Bus Company Cleveland as soon as you have your dates and headcount.

Yes, a deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The balance is due in full prior to the departure date—typically 7 to 14 days before the trip. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, corporate checks, and approved purchase orders. Payment terms will be outlined in your contract. Late payments may result in cancellation or additional fees. Full payment is required before the bus is dispatched.

For example, parking passes at FirstEnergy Stadium and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse range from $20 to $50 per event and must be purchased separately. The driver’s meals and hotel (if applicable) are also not included. Any optional upgrades or special requests will be itemized in the quote.
