Charter Bus Company San Francisco offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets in San Francisco, including full-size charter buses (40-56 passengers), minibuses (15-35 passengers), party buses (10-50+ passengers), entertainer coaches, school buses, and sprinter vans.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets or USB ports, TV monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA system, overhead parcel racks, and a large undercarriage luggage bay. Many also have an onboard restroom. Minibuses typically offer comfortable upholstered seats, strong air conditioning, and either overhead storage or rear luggage space; some models may include WiFi or a flat-screen monitor. Party buses feature wraparound seating, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound systems, and hardwood-style floors for dancing. If you need something specific—like tray tables, extra monitors, or ADA accessibility—just ask!

Yes, our full-size charter buses have ample luggage space both above the seats and below the main cabin. Each passenger can bring one large suitcase or equipment case to be stored in the undercarriage bay, plus a smaller carry-on bag or backpack for the overhead parcel rack inside the bus. For groups traveling with extra gear—such as sports teams with coolers or musicians with instrument cases—we recommend a 56-passenger coach, which offers the most storage capacity in the industry. Minibuses have limited luggage space but can accommodate carry-ons and a few larger items.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible charter buses in San Francisco and throughout the Bay Area. These vehicles are equipped with a wheelchair lift, extra-wide center aisle, designated securement areas, and handrails. Please let us know your accessibility requirements when requesting a quote so we can dispatch a bus that meets all ADA guidelines. We regularly work with schools, senior groups, medical facilities, and event planners to ensure every passenger has a comfortable access to private group transportation.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental: vehicle size/type, trip duration, total mileage, time of year, and current demand. Large events like Dreamforce, Fleet Week, or playoff games can impact availability and rates. Additional expenses may include tolls (Bay Bridge, Golden Gate), parking permits at venues like Chase Center or Oracle Park, and driver lodging for overnight trips. Booking well in advance usually secures the best rate. Our quotes are all-inclusive except for variable out-of-pocket costs such as parking or hotel rooms if required.

Charter Bus Company San Francisco is widely recognized as one of the most reputable charter bus companies in San Francisco because we consistently deliver reliable, high-quality service for groups of all sizes and types. We have years of experience handling everything from corporate shuttles for major tech firms to large-scale event transportation for conventions, weddings, and sports teams. Our 24/7 customer support, transparent pricing, and commitment to customer satisfaction set us apart in the industry.

It’s best to book your charter bus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak season (spring/summer, holidays, or major events). Large-scale events like conferences, festivals, or sporting events may require even more lead time to ensure availability. However, we understand that plans can change, and we’re often able to accommodate last-minute requests thanks to our extensive fleet and 24/7 dispatch team. The earlier you book, the more options you’ll have and the better your rate is likely to be.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost but may vary depending on the size and type of vehicle. Full payment is due 14 days before the date of service. We accept all major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks.
