A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by groups to travel together on custom schedules and routes. Unlike public Greyhound-style buses, a charter bus operates entirely on your itinerary—whether that’s a one-day trip to Ashland or a week-long tour of the Pacific Northwest. It’s commonly used for school outings, sports team travel, corporate shuttles, weddings, or multi-day tours. Larger models (up to 56 seats) offer forward-facing seats, strong climate control, luggage bays, onboard restrooms, and optional amenities like WiFi and video monitors. Smaller “minibuses” (18–35 seats) are available for compact groups or local shuttles. The vehicle is driven by a professional driver employed by the bus company.

Most modern charter buses are 40–45 feet long, about 12 feet tall, and have a smooth, aerodynamic shape with large tinted windows running the length of the cabin. They typically have a white or neutral-colored exterior, though custom wraps are available. The front end slopes gently back from the windshield, and there are multiple side-access doors—one for passengers near the front, and one or two for luggage bays lower down. The roofline is slightly curved, and the rear end is squared off. Wheels are set well back toward the corners, giving the bus a stable, elongated profile. LED marker lights run along the roof and below the windows. Ventilation grilles and access panels are integrated smoothly into the sides and rear.

Full-size charter buses typically seat 50 to 56 passengers, depending on the exact model and interior configuration. Some coaches can be configured with as few as 47 or as many as 60 seats if additional amenities (like tables or wider seats) are added or if a restroom is included. Smaller minibus-style vehicles may offer anywhere from 18 to 35 seats. All seating is forward-facing, with high-back cushioned seats covered in durable fabric or optional leatherette. Seats recline individually, have integrated headrests, and are arranged two-by-two across a central aisle. Armrests, footrests, and individual reading lights are standard. Larger coaches may include a few seats with extra legroom near the front or rear. Every seat offers similar comfort and support.

Anyone needing to move a group of people can rent a charter bus! In Medford, common renters include school districts (Medford School District 549C, private schools, SOU), sports teams (youth, high school, Rogue Valley Timbers), wedding parties, corporate event planners, local businesses, healthcare organizations, church groups, festival organizers, and even families planning large reunions or trips. We also work with government agencies, military groups, and non-profits. Whether you’re coordinating a single event or need recurring shuttle service, we can help you find the right vehicle.

Charter Bus Rental Medford offers a full range of buses in Medford, including 15-, 18-, 20-, and 25-passenger minibuses; 28-, 30-, 35-, and 40-seat mid-size coaches; and 50-, 54-, and 56-passenger full-size charter buses. Many models come from top brands like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, and Temsa. We can also provide party buses (20–40 seats), sprinter vans (up to 14 seats), and entertainer coaches (with bunks and lounge areas) for special requests. If you need something ADA-accessible, several models can be equipped with wheelchair lifts. Our team will help you choose the best size and type for your group.

A charter bus (also called a coach bus) is a large, comfortable vehicle designed for transporting groups of 30–56 people over short or long distances. It has forward-facing seats, luggage storage, and optional amenities like WiFi and video screens.

A party bus is a smaller vehicle (often built from a minibus or large van) with a custom interior designed for socializing—wraparound seating, colored lighting, sound system, and room to stand or dance.

An entertainer bus (or sleeper coach) is a specialty vehicle used by bands, performers, or VIPs. It has living space with sofas, a kitchen, a lounge area, and multiple bunk beds for sleeping on the road.

In summary: charter/coach buses are for regular group travel; party buses are for celebrations; entertainer buses are for touring professionals who need to live onboard.

Most modern charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, strong air conditioning and heating, overhead parcel racks, reading lights, and a PA system. Larger coaches offer under-floor luggage bays, flat-screen video monitors (1–4 per cabin), DVD/Blu-ray players, and an onboard restroom with toilet and hand sanitizer. Optional amenities include WiFi (4G/5G cellular), 110V power outlets or USB ports at every row, and Bluetooth audio for streaming music or announcements. Some coaches feature leatherette upholstery, folding tray tables, ceiling-mounted luggage racks, and LED accent lighting. For longer trips, ask about coaches with additional video screens, USB charging ports at every seat, or upgraded sound systems. All amenities should be confirmed when booking, as availability varies by vehicle.

Yes, many charter buses offer onboard WiFi as a standard or optional amenity. The system uses a 4G/5G cellular connection to provide basic internet access throughout the cabin. It’s suitable for email, web browsing, and social media, but may not support streaming video or large downloads—especially in rural areas or when crossing mountain passes. Coverage is generally good along I-5 and major highways, but can be spotty in remote areas. If reliable WiFi is important for your trip, request a coach with upgraded connectivity and ask about data limits or performance guarantees. Some newer coaches offer faster systems with support for multiple devices. WiFi availability should be confirmed when booking, as not every vehicle includes it by default.

A full-size charter bus offers substantial luggage capacity, with both under-floor baggage bays and interior parcel racks. The exterior bays can hold one large suitcase or equipment case per passenger—typically 40–50 pieces of rolling luggage. Inside the cabin, overhead racks accommodate backpacks, duffel bags, or carry-on-sized items. For most trips, plan on bringing one large bag plus one smaller item per person. Sports teams can store gear bags, coolers, or folding tents below. School groups can bring project materials or instrument cases. If your group has extra-large items—like bicycles, PA speakers, or trade show displays—ask about storage dimensions when booking. Minibuses have less luggage space, with only limited rear or under-seat storage. All luggage should be securely packed and labeled with the owner’s name. For trips requiring additional cargo space, multiple coaches can be arranged.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, priority seating, and accessible restrooms if needed. Just let us know your requirements when you call.

Yes, you can wrap a charter bus with your own branding, artwork, or advertising, but it must be arranged in advance and approved by the carrier. Full or partial vinyl wraps are commonly used for corporate branding, event promotion, or team travel. The design must not obscure windows required for visibility, emergency exits, or regulatory markings. Installation and removal of the wrap are typically the renter’s responsibility and must be scheduled to allow time before and after the rental period. Additional fees may apply for wrap installation, removal, or cleaning. All graphics must comply with company policies regarding content, colors, and placement. If you’re interested in wrapping a charter bus, please ask about options, pricing, and scheduling when requesting a quote.

You can request a specific bus model or color, and we’ll do our best to accommodate—but exact availability depends on fleet scheduling. If you need a particular make (like Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, or Setra) or want matching coaches for a large group, mention this when booking. We can often provide multiple coaches of the same type for large groups. Specialty requests—such as all-black, all-white, or branded coaches—should be made early. Additional fees may apply for premium models or custom paint schemes. Our team will confirm what’s available and recommend the closest match if your first choice isn’t open. We aim to provide the equipment that best fits your needs.

It’s best to book your bus rental as early as possible—ideally 2–3 months in advance for the best availability and rates. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, sports, and events, so vehicles can sell out quickly. Large events (weddings, tournaments) should book 4–6 months ahead. Last-minute bookings are possible but may have limited vehicle selection and higher prices. For summer and winter trips, 4–6 weeks’ notice is usually sufficient. Busy months (May–June, September–October) require the most lead time. Booking early ensures you get the vehicle size and amenities you want.
