Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Upper Darby

A charter bus is a large vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations. It has cushioned seats, overhead storage, and undercarriage luggage bays. Amenities include Wi-Fi, power outlets, TV monitors, DVD players, PA system, and restroom. Groups use charter buses for field trips to the Franklin Institute, weddings at Ridley Creek State Park, corporate shuttles between King of Prussia and Center City, or sports teams travel to tournaments in South Jersey. The main advantage is everyone travels together on one schedule instead of carpooling or relying on SEPTA.

We have a fleet of minibuses (18–35 passengers), full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers), and specialty vehicles like entertainer coaches or executive sprinter vans. All buses come with standard features such as reclining seats, climate control, reading lights, and ample luggage space. Premium models include flat-screen TVs, DVD/Blu-ray player, USB charging ports, onboard Wi-Fi, and lavatory at the rear. For school trips or youth groups, we can provide yellow school buses at lower cost. ADA-accessible options with wheelchair lift and priority seating are available upon request.

The average cost of renting a bus ranges from $1,100 to $2,200 per day depending on size, amenities, and total mileage. Minibuses are cheaper ($900–$1,400) while 56-passenger coaches run higher ($1,600–$2,500). Weekend charters or peak season rates may be 10–15% more than off-peak weekdays.

Major factors include trip distance, duration, bus size, and time of year. Longer trips cost more because of fuel and driver hours. Larger buses with premium amenities have higher base rates. Spring and fall are busy seasons due to school events and weddings, so prices may increase with demand. Last-minute bookings (less than 72 hours) sometimes incur rush fee if fleet availability is limited. Additional charges apply for extra services like airport greeter, luggage handling, or cleaning fee after beach outings to Wildwood or Ocean City.
