Charter Bus Rentals in Irvine

A charter bus is a large, private motorcoach rented by a group to travel together on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike public transportation or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client’s party—whether that’s a company, school, sports team, wedding party, or any other organization—providing flexible, point-to-point service. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and are equipped with comfortable reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and video monitors.

Charter Bus Company Irvine offers a wide range of buses in Irvine, from 15-passenger minibuses to full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches and several specialty vehicles. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech Motors, Turtle Top, and more. We can also provide party buses (with room for 10–50+), entertainer coaches (sleeper buses for band/tour use), and ADA-accessible vehicles. Many vehicles are available in multiple exterior colors (black, white, silver, etc.) and with different interior configurations.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, a PA system, 1–4 flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray playback, and an onboard restroom. Many newer coaches offer free Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each seat, and Bluetooth-enabled sound systems. Optional upgrades include leatherette seating, forward-facing tables, and custom branding. Minibuses typically have high-back cloth or vinyl seats, basic A/C, and optional Wi-Fi or PA system.

Yes, our Irvine charter buses have ample luggage space both inside and outside the passenger cabin. Full-size motorcoaches feature large undercarriage luggage bays that can accommodate one full-size suitcase per passenger, plus additional equipment or oversized items. Inside the bus, overhead parcel racks above the seats are perfect for carry-on bags, backpacks, or smaller personal items. For most trips, each passenger can bring one large bag for the luggage bay and one smaller bag for the overhead compartment. If your group has extra luggage, sports equipment, or bulky items, let us know—we can recommend a larger vehicle or arrange additional storage.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms upon request. Many newer minibuses and full-size coaches are built to ADA standards, but it’s important to request this when booking so we can confirm availability and reserve the right vehicle. Let us know about any specific mobility needs (number of wheelchairs, service animals, companion seating) and we’ll make sure your bus meets all requirements.

Several factors affect charter bus pricing in Irvine: the size and type of vehicle, trip duration, total mileage, time of year, and any special requests or add-ons. Larger vehicles like full-size motorcoaches cost more than minibuses or shuttles, especially for long-distance trips. Peak seasons—such as spring and summer—are more expensive due to high demand from schools, weddings, and tourism. Additional costs may include tolls, parking, driver lodging for overnight trips, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi or custom wraps. Major events at venues like FivePoint Amphitheatre or UCI Bren Events Center can also impact availability and pricing.
