Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in San Bruno, California

A charter bus is a private vehicle rented by a group to provide customized transportation for events, trips, or recurring shuttles. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates on a schedule and route set entirely by the customer. These full-size motorcoaches typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and are equipped with amenities like reclining seats, air conditioning, restrooms, WiFi, and luggage bays, making them ideal for long-distance travel or moving large groups efficiently.

Charter Bus Company San Bruno offers one of the largest selections of buses in San Bruno, South San Francisco, Daly City, and the entire Bay Area. Our fleet includes 15, 20, 25, and 28-passenger minibuses; 35 and 47 passenger school buses; 40, 50, 55, and 56-passenger charter buses; party buses for 10 to 50+ people; sprinter vans; and even custom packages for very large groups. We carry top makes and models like the Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, Temsa TS35, Grech Motors GM40, Turtle Top Odyssey XL, and more. If you need something specific, we can usually get it.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, strong air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, a restroom, WiFi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at every row, DVD players, and flat-screen monitors. Minibuses have similar seating and climate control but may not have a restroom or large luggage space. Party buses feature wraparound seating, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound systems, and space to stand or dance. School buses are basic bench seating with no A/C unless specified. ADA-accessible buses have a wheelchair lift and space for mobility devices.

Yes, all full-size charter buses (40-56 passengers) have generous luggage space with large undercarriage bays that can hold full-size suitcases, equipment cases, or band gear. There are also overhead compartments inside the cabin for smaller bags, backpacks, or jackets. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one large suitcase for the bay and one carry-on for the overhead rack. Minibuses have limited luggage space—some models have a rear storage area, but overhead racks are smaller. Party buses prioritize open space over storage. School buses have no dedicated luggage area.

If you need an ADA-compliant vehicle, please specify how many passengers require accessible seating so we can match you with the right bus.

The main factors that affect charter bus pricing are the size and type of vehicle, distance traveled, duration of the trip, and time of year. Large events like Salesforce Dreamforce, Fleet Week, or playoff games can increase demand and rates. Additional costs may include tolls on bridges like the Bay Bridge or Golden Gate, parking fees at venues, and lodging for the driver on overnight trips. Custom wraps, extra stops, or special amenities can also impact the total. Booking well in advance usually secures the best rate.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance for large events or trips during peak season (spring and summer). For school graduations, proms, or weddings, securing a bus 6 months ahead ensures availability. Corporate shuttles and recurring contracts should be arranged at least a month out. Last-minute bookings are possible, but selection may be limited during busy periods like holiday weekends or when multiple conventions are in town.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure the reservation. The remaining balance is due before the date of service—typically 30 days prior for large or out-of-state trips, and 7 to 14 days prior for local charters. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, checks, and purchase orders from approved institutions. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in the contract. Full prepayment is required before dispatching the vehicle.

Your quote includes the bus, driver, mileage, and standard amenities. It does not include bridge tolls, parking fees, or driver lodging if required. For example, parking passes at Levi’s Stadium can range from $40 to $120 depending on the lot, while Chase Center charges $50 to $100 for oversized vehicles. If your itinerary requires paid parking, venue access fees, or hotel rooms for the driver on overnight trips, those costs are the responsibility of the chartering party. Gratuity is optional but customary for good service.

You can get an instant quote by calling our 24-hour line or using the online quote tool on our website. Provide details such as the date of the trip, pickup and drop-off locations, number of passengers, type of event, and any special requests.
