Charter Bus Rentals in Cleveland Heights, Ohio

A charter bus is a private, pre-arranged vehicle rental that transports groups of people to and from destinations of their choice on a custom schedule. Unlike public transportation or fixed-route services, a charter bus operates exclusively for the hiring party, making it ideal for events like corporate outings, school trips, weddings, sports travel, or multi-day tours. Buses typically seat 20 to 56 passengers and offer amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, and entertainment systems.

Available vehicles include Van Hool CX and TX series, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500 and D4505, Setra S417, Temsa TS30/TS35, and Grech Motors or Turtle Top minibus bodies on Ford or Freightliner chassis.

Yes, most full-size charter buses have generous luggage space with both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage luggage bays beneath the floor.

Charter bus pricing is affected by the size and type of vehicle, trip duration, total mileage, time of year, and any special requests. Larger buses cost more than minibuses; multi-day and long-distance trips increase the rate. Peak demand periods—such as spring and fall for school trips, summer for weddings, or dates overlapping major events like Cleveland Guardians or Browns games—can raise prices.
