Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Parma, Ohio

A charter bus is a large, independently operated motorcoach that’s rented by a group for private, pre-arranged transportation. Unlike a scheduled Greyhound or RTA fixed-route bus, a charter bus runs entirely on the group’s custom itinerary—making as many stops, pickups, and drop-offs as needed. Most modern charter buses seat 40–56 passengers, offer forward-facing upholstered seats, strong climate control, luggage bays, and optional amenities like WiFi or video screens. They’re commonly used for school trips, sports travel, corporate shuttles, event transportation, and multi-day tours.

Charter Bus Company Parma offers a full range of vehicles from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, plus several mid-size and specialty 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 even offer multiple exterior colors (white, black, silver, custom wrap) and several interior trim levels on most models. If you’re not sure what’s best, our team can recommend a coach based on your group size, trip length, and budget.

Most full-size (40–56 passenger) charter buses include reclining cloth or vinyl seats, strong HVAC, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and at least one onboard restroom. Standard amenities include 110V power outlets, USB ports, PA system, and one or more flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray input. Many coaches now offer free onboard Wi-Fi, Bluetooth audio, and video screens that can connect to laptops or gaming consoles via HDMI. Optional upgrades include leatherette seating, individual reading lights, tray tables, and custom headrest covers. Mid-size (25–35 passenger) coaches offer similar amenities but may have limited luggage space and no restroom. Minibuses (15–28 passengers) typically have high-back seats, strong A/C, and basic luggage space but no restroom or video monitors. All vehicles are cleaned and sanitized before each trip, and special requests (like seatback USB ports or extra luggage space) can usually be accommodated.

Yes—every full-size (40–56 passenger) charter bus has both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large underfloor luggage bays accessible from outside. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase (up to 50 lbs.) for the luggage bay plus one carry-on bag or backpack for the overhead rack. The underfloor bays can handle bulky items like duffel bags, coolers, or equipment cases but are not tall enough for bikes or large boxes. Overhead racks run the length of the cabin and are ideal for jackets, small backpacks, or tote bags. For groups with extra luggage—such as sports teams with gear bags or bands with equipment—please mention this when booking so we can assign a coach with larger bays or add a trailer if needed. Minibuses (15–28 passengers) have only limited rear cargo space and no underfloor bays, so luggage capacity is reduced on these smaller vehicles.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms upon request. Just let us know your accessibility needs when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure your vehicle meets all ADA requirements. We regularly serve passengers with mobility devices, so our team is experienced in coordinating accessible pick-ups at schools, hospitals, event venues, and more.

The final price depends on the size of the bus, the length of the trip, the time of year, and any additional amenities or special requests.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Parma: the size and type of vehicle, the distance and duration of the trip, the time of year, and any additional amenities or special requests. Larger buses and longer trips generally cost more, as do rentals during peak travel times such as spring and summer. Additional fees may apply for tolls, parking, driver lodging on overnight trips, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi or video screens. Special events, such as Browns or Guardians games, can also impact pricing due to increased demand and traffic congestion.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and summer are peak seasons for school trips, weddings, and sports events, so buses can book up quickly. For major events or multi-day trips, booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and have limited vehicle options.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost, with the balance due 30 days before the date of your trip. For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, full payment is required at the time of booking. We accept all major credit cards, ACH transfers, and checks.

For example, parking passes at FirstEnergy Stadium or Progressive Field can cost $30–$50 per bus and are not included in the base rental fee. Our team will provide a detailed breakdown of all costs before you confirm your booking.
