Some of our most popular services include corporate shuttles to local business parks, campus tours for schools visiting California State University Fullerton, wedding transportation to venues like Summit House Restaurant, and sports team travel to games at Fullerton College or nearby stadiums. We also help organize private tours of local attractions such as Fullerton Arboretum, Muckenthaler Cultural Center, and Downtown Fullerton’s historic district. No matter what brings your group together, we’ll get you there comfortably and on time.

A charter bus (also called a motorcoach) is a large vehicle designed to transport groups of people over long distances. These buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and come equipped with comfortable features like cushioned reclining seats, air conditioning, overhead storage bins, undercarriage luggage bays, restrooms, TVs with DVD players, and free WiFi. Charter buses are ideal for moving large groups efficiently and keeping everyone together during trips to places like Disneyland, Angel Stadium, or LAX. They’re commonly used for school field trips, corporate events, sports teams, and multi-day tours across California.

A minibus is a smaller type of bus that usually seats between 15 and 35 passengers. It offers many of the same amenities as a full-size charter bus—such as reclining seats, climate control, PA systems, and optional WiFi—but in a more compact package. Minibuses are perfect for shuttling smaller groups around town, whether it’s a church group heading to Knott’s Berry Farm, a wedding party traveling between venues, or a corporate team attending a conference at the Fullerton Marriott. They’re easier to maneuver through city streets and can access locations where larger buses might have trouble.

Most charter buses in our fleet have 56 seats, which is the standard size for transporting large groups. However, we also offer slightly smaller models with 50 or 52 seats if your group doesn’t require maximum capacity. Each seat is cushioned, reclines for comfort, and has an individual reading light. There’s ample space for carry-on items in the overhead racks and plenty of room for suitcases or equipment in the underfloor storage compartments. This makes charter buses ideal for moving entire sports teams, school classes, or tour groups to destinations like Universal Studios Hollywood or San Diego Zoo.

Our minibuses come in several sizes to accommodate different group needs. The smallest option seats 15 passengers, while larger versions can hold 20, 25, 28, 30, or even 35 people. These vehicles are great for mid-sized groups that want to travel together without renting a full-size coach. Features include comfortable upholstered seats, air conditioning, sound systems, and optional extras like WiFi and power outlets. Minibuses are frequently used for airport transfers to John Wayne Airport, hotel shuttles, and local excursions around Orange County.

We offer a wide range of bus types to suit any group size or trip type in Fullerton. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses (50-56 seats), several sizes of minibuses (15, 20, 25, 28, 30, 35 seats), party buses (10-40 seats), entertainer coaches with bunk beds for touring bands, and ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts. Whether you need to move a small group across town or take a large contingent on an overnight trip, we have the right vehicle for the job. All buses are comfortable and equipped with modern amenities to ensure a pleasant journey.

Our Fullerton bus rentals come loaded with amenities designed to keep passengers comfortable and entertained. Standard features include plush reclining seats, strong air conditioning, overhead storage racks, and large tinted windows for sightseeing. Most buses also offer free WiFi so you can stay connected, power outlets or USB ports at each seat for charging devices, and flat-screen monitors with DVD players for watching movies. Larger coaches have onboard restrooms, PA systems for announcements, and generous luggage space. If you need something specific—like tables for playing cards or extra monitors—just ask when you book.

Yes, many of our buses are equipped with sound systems that allow you to play your own music through AUX or Bluetooth connections. This is perfect for setting the mood with a custom playlist during a wine tour through Temecula Valley or keeping students entertained on a long drive. If having this feature is important to your group, please mention it when booking so we can match you with a vehicle that meets your needs. Some models may require a standard 3.5mm AUX cable, while others support wireless Bluetooth pairing directly with your phone or tablet.

Luggage capacity varies by bus size. Full-size charter buses have the most storage, with large undercarriage bays that can hold multiple suitcases per passenger—enough for everyone to bring checked bags plus carry-ons. Overhead racks inside the cabin are suitable for backpacks, jackets, and smaller items. Minibuses have less space but can still accommodate several pieces of luggage in rear compartments or behind the last row of seats. If your group is traveling with bulky equipment like musical instruments or sports gear, let us know so we can recommend a vehicle with adequate storage.

Absolutely! We believe everyone should have access to reliable group transportation, which is why we offer ADA-accessible buses equipped with wheelchair lifts, widened aisles, and designated securement areas. These vehicles also feature handrails, slip-resistant flooring, and accessible restrooms where available. If anyone in your party has mobility challenges or other special requirements, please inform us when making your reservation. We’ll ensure your bus is fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and ready to accommodate all passengers comfortably and safely.

Yes, you can wrap your charter bus with custom graphics, branding, or advertisements for an additional fee. This option is popular with sports teams heading to championships, corporations running promotional campaigns, and event organizers who want their bus to stand out. Full wraps cover the entire exterior of the vehicle, while partial wraps or magnetic signs are also available for smaller budgets. You’ll need to provide the artwork in advance so it can be printed and installed before your departure date. Contact us for pricing and design specifications.

We will do our best to accommodate requests for specific bus models, makes, or colors depending on availability. Our fleet includes vehicles from leading manufacturers like Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, Setra, and Grech Motors in various color schemes (white, black, silver, etc.). If your group has a preference—for example, an all-black coach for a formal event or a particular interior layout—please let us know when booking. While we cannot guarantee every request due to scheduling constraints, we strive to meet your needs whenever possible.

The cost of renting a charter bus in Fullerton depends on several factors including the size of the bus, length of the trip, time of year, and any special requests. Generally speaking, rates range from $1,200 to $3,500 per day for a standard 56-passenger coach. Short local trips may be billed by the hour (with a minimum), while multi-day itineraries are priced by the day or mile. For an exact quote tailored to your itinerary, call our office with details about your group size, destination, and schedule. We offer competitive pricing and packages to fit most budgets.

Minibus rentals are more affordable than full-size coaches, making them a great choice for smaller groups. Expect to pay anywhere from $600 to $1,800 per day depending on the number of seats and distance traveled. Hourly rates are also available for short hops around town, such as shuttling guests between wedding venues or providing last-mile service from train stations. As with all our rentals, the best way to get an accurate price is to contact us with your trip details. We’ll provide a free quote with no hidden fees.

Several variables influence the cost of renting a bus: vehicle size (minibuses are cheaper than large coaches), trip duration (longer trips cost more), distance (mileage outside Orange County increases the rate), seasonality (spring and summer are peak times), and additional amenities (WiFi, custom wraps, etc.). Special events like graduations, festivals, or major sporting events can also impact availability and pricing. To get the best deal, try to book early, be flexible with your dates, and provide a detailed itinerary so we can accurately estimate costs.

Your quote includes the use of the bus for the duration of your trip, driver’s wages, fuel, tolls, and standard amenities like A/C and reclining seats. Additional charges may apply for optional features (WiFi, DVD players), parking fees, overnight stays requiring hotel accommodation for the driver, and extensive cleaning if the bus is left excessively dirty. There are no hidden fees—everything will be clearly outlined in your contract before you sign. If you have questions about what’s covered, just ask our staff when booking.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during busy periods like spring break, summer vacation, or around major holidays. This lead time ensures the best selection of vehicles and more favorable rates. Last-minute bookings are possible—sometimes within 24-48 hours—but options may be limited and prices higher due to demand. For large-scale events requiring multiple buses, securing your reservation early is essential to coordinate logistics smoothly.

Yes, we offer flexible packages to suit any itinerary: one-way transfers (e.g., dropping a group at LAX), round trips (such as day trips to Disneyland), and multi-day charters for extended tours or out-of-state travel. You can customize pickup and drop-off times, schedule multiple stops along the route, and keep the bus on standby for the duration of your event if needed. Whether you need transportation for a single afternoon or an entire week, we’ll tailor the rental to fit your plans.

If your itinerary involves crossing state lines, let us know so we can prepare any necessary permits or documentation.

If your charter spans multiple days and requires overnight stays away from Fullerton, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should offer basic amenities, private restroom facilities, and be located within reasonable proximity to where the bus will be parked overnight.

Communicate headcounts and special needs upfront so we can assign the right vehicle. Book early during peak seasons (spring break, summer). Budget for driver accommodations on overnight trips. Stay in touch with your dispatcher for real-time updates. Inspect the bus before departure to confirm amenities. Pack snacks and entertainment for longer rides.
