Charter Bus Rentals in Burbank, California

A charter bus is a large motor vehicle designed to carry groups of people together on pre-arranged trips. Unlike public buses that run fixed routes, charter buses are rented by private groups for specific purposes like field trips, corporate shuttles, sports team travel, or wedding guest transportation. They typically have cushioned seats, overhead storage racks, and undercarriage luggage bays. Most charters include amenities such as Wi-Fi, power outlets, reclining seats, restrooms, and climate control. The main advantage of a charter bus is that it gives your group exclusive use of the vehicle and driver for door-to-door service anywhere you choose.

We offer minibuses (18–35 passengers), full-size charter buses (47–56 passengers), entertainer coaches (bunk-style sleeper buses for band tours), and specialty vehicles like sprinter vans or double-deckers. Our fleet includes trusted brands such as Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Blue Bird, Thomas Built, Grech, Turtle Top, Starcraft, Diamond, Collins, ElDorado, Champion, and Forest River. Each type has different seating layouts and amenity packages so we can match the right bus to your group size and trip needs anywhere in Burbank or greater Los Angeles County.

Charter bus pricing is based on vehicle size, trip distance, duration, and time of year. Minibuses generally cost $125–$200 per hour with a 5-hour minimum. Full-size coaches average $150–$250 per hour or $1,400–$2,400 per day for local Burbank charters. Multi-day out-of-state trips are usually quoted at $4.50–$7.50 per mile depending on total mileage. Peak demand periods like summer vacation or major events may increase rates. Call 805-970-2390 anytime to get an instant quote tailored to your exact itinerary.

Major factors include total mileage (longer trips cost more), number of days/hours needed, size/capacity of the bus (larger vehicles are more expensive), and optional upgrades like Wi-Fi, leather seats, or custom wraps. Other variables are driver lodging for overnight trips, tolls/parking fees, and whether the bus will be idle or moving between assignments. Last-minute bookings or requests during high-demand seasons (spring break, summer, holidays) may also impact availability and pricing. Sharing exact pickup/drop-off addresses helps us calculate the most accurate quote.

Booking is simple: call our office at 805-970-2390 or fill out the online form with your trip details (date, time, pickup location, destination, group size).

A deposit of 10–20% is required to reserve the bus, with the balance due before departure. Once confirmed, you’ll receive a reservation summary and dispatcher contact info. Changes or cancellations can be made anytime prior to final payment.

Standard amenities include cushioned high-back seats, individual reading lights, armrests, and ample legroom. Most buses have overhead parcel racks, large underfloor luggage compartments, and powerful air conditioning. Restrooms with toilet and sink are common on 40+ passenger coaches. Entertainment features may include flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, PA system, and stereo speakers. Many models offer free Wi-Fi, USB/power outlets at every row, reclining seats, footrests, and window shades. Premium options are hardwood floors, LED accent lighting, mini-fridge, coffee maker, or rear lounge area.

Major attractions like Warner Bros. Studio Tour and Hollywood Burbank Airport have designated bus drop-off zones and short-term staging areas. Hotels such as Hotel Amarano, The Garland, and Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport offer oversized vehicle parking with advance notice. Smaller venues may require street loading or use of nearby public lots. For downtown restaurants or theaters, we recommend unloading quickly then relocating to a legal spot until pickup time. Our dispatch team coordinates directly with event planners to ensure smooth arrivals and departures everywhere.

Your quote includes exclusive use of the charter bus, driver wages, fuel, insurance, and standard amenities. Gratuity is optional but appreciated for excellent service (industry norm is 5–10%). Any road tolls, bridge charges, or entrance fees incurred during the trip are the client’s responsibility unless otherwise specified. Parking costs at hotels, stadiums, or attractions are not included and should be paid directly by the organizer. Driver lodging/meals on overnight itineraries will be added to the invoice or arranged by the customer.

Consider the total number of passengers, amount/type of baggage, trip length, and desired comfort level. Small groups (15–30 people) on short local rides can use a minibus without a restroom. Large groups (40–56 people) or anyone traveling more than two hours should get a full-size coach with toilet and reclining seats. Sports teams with coolers and equipment bags need extra storage volume. Band tours or celebrity clients may request a sleeper bus with bunks and lounge. Always round up headcount to avoid standing-room situations.
