Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Pleasanton

A charter bus is a large motorcoach rented by a private group to provide customized, pre-arranged transportation for events, trips, or recurring schedules. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates on a route and timetable set by the customer—making pickups, drop-offs, and stops entirely based on the group’s needs. Charter buses are commonly used for school field trips, corporate outings, sports team travel, weddings, and multi-day tours because they offer comfortable seating, onboard amenities, and efficient point-to-point service.

Charter Bus Company Pleasanton offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Pleasanton and Alameda County, ranging from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size charter buses. Our fleet includes popular models like the 25-, 28-, 35-, and 38-passenger Grech Motors minibus, the 40-passenger Van Hool CX35, the 47-passenger MCI J3500, and several 55- or 56-passenger coaches such as the Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and MCI J4500. We also have ADA-accessible buses and vehicles with custom layouts for specific group sizes or trip types.

Our charter buses come equipped with a wide range of amenities to keep passengers comfortable and entertained on trips of any length. Standard features include reclining seats with headrests and footrests, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, and large undercarriage luggage bays. Most buses have one or more flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA system, and free WiFi. Additional options may include 110V/USB power outlets at every row, tray tables, cup holders, and a rear restroom with a toilet and handwashing station.

Yes, our charter buses offer ample luggage space for groups traveling with suitcases, equipment, or other large items. Full-size motorcoaches are equipped with spacious undercarriage bays that can accommodate one full-size suitcase per passenger, while overhead compartments inside the cabin are ideal for carry-on bags, backpacks, or smaller personal items. For most trips, you can plan on bringing one large bag to be stored below the bus and one smaller item to be placed in the overhead rack above your seat. If your group has special storage needs—such as musical instruments, sports gear, or trade show materials—let us know and we will recommend a vehicle with the appropriate capacity.
