Bus Rentals in Concord, California

A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together for private trips, events, or recurring services. These vehicles typically seat anywhere from 40 to 56 passengers and are equipped with comfortable, forward-facing seats, strong air conditioning, and ample luggage storage. Charter buses are commonly used for school field trips, corporate outings, sports team travel, wedding guest shuttles, and multi-day tours because they offer one of the most efficient and convenient ways to move large groups over short or long distances.

Charter Bus Company Concord offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets in Contra Costa County, with vehicles ranging from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size charter buses, party buses, entertainer coaches, and even custom sprinter vans. Popular models include the Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Temsa TS35E, Grech Motors GM40, Turtle Top Odyssey XL, and several ADA-accessible options. We can accommodate groups of any size for any type of event or trip, and our fleet is available in multiple colors and configurations to suit your needs.

Most charter buses are equipped with a standard package of amenities designed for comfort on trips of any length. This includes cushioned, reclining seats with armrests and footrests; overhead parcel racks for carry-on items; undercarriage luggage bays for suitcases or equipment cases; strong air conditioning; and a clean, onboard restroom at the rear of the bus. Many newer buses also feature flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA system with a microphone, power outlets or USB charging ports at every row, and free WiFi. If you need something specific—like tables, extra monitors, or tinted windows—just ask.

Yes, full-size charter buses are built to handle luggage for every passenger. There are spacious, climate-protected storage bays beneath the main cabin that run the length of the bus—ideal for large suitcases, sports gear, musical instruments, or trade show materials. Inside the bus, there are overhead racks above the seats for smaller bags, backpacks, or jackets. As a rule of thumb, each person can bring one full-size bag for the undercarriage and one smaller item for the overhead compartment. If your group has unusual cargo—like bicycles or AV equipment—let us know so we can recommend the right vehicle.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental: the size and type of vehicle, the length and duration of the trip, whether the service is local or out-of-town, and the time of year. Peak demand periods—such as spring for school trips or summer for weddings—can affect availability and rates. Special events like concerts at the Concord Pavilion, major sporting events, or large festivals may also impact pricing due to increased demand. Additional services or custom requests can be accommodated and will be reflected in the quote.
