San Jose Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a large vehicle that groups can rent to travel together on a schedule they choose. It has rows of cushioned seats, overhead storage racks, and big luggage bays under the floor. Most charters in San Jose have reclining seats, reading lights, strong air conditioning, and a restroom at the back. People use them for field trips, sports teams, church retreats, company outings, or any trip where 20–55 people need to go somewhere as a group. When you book one, you get the whole bus and driver for your private use.

We have minibuses (18–35 seats) for small groups, full-size charter buses (40–56 seats) for big trips, and sprinter vans (10–15 seats) for short shuttles. All have cushioned seats, strong AC, reading lights, and space for bags. Charter buses include a restroom, TV screens, DVD player, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and USB ports. Minibuses have high-back seats and overhead racks. Sprinter vans are easy to load and good for quick loops around downtown or between parking lots. If you want something special like leather seats or extra luggage space, just ask when you get a quote.

Charter bus rentals in San Jose usually cost between $1,200 and $3,000 per day depending on size, features, and mileage. Short local trips may be $175–$300 per hour with a 5-hour minimum.

The main things that affect your price are the size of the bus, how far you’re going, how many days you need it, and what extras you want. Bigger buses cost more than smaller ones because they use more fuel and have higher maintenance costs. Trips that leave Santa Clara County or stay overnight will be more expensive than short local charters. Peak times like graduation season or major sports events can raise rates due to high demand. Special requests such as Wi-Fi, leather seats, or extra luggage space may add a small premium but are usually included if available.

Every bus has cushioned seats, strong air conditioning, overhead racks for small bags, and big luggage bays underneath. Charter buses come with a restroom at the back, TV screens, DVD/CD player, PA system, Wi-Fi hotspot, power outlets, USB charging ports, and reclining seats with footrests. Minibuses have high-back cloth seats and basic sound system. Sprinter vans offer forward-facing benches and easy entry/exit. If you need ADA features like a wheelchair lift and priority seating, we can provide accessible vehicles at no extra charge anywhere in the Bay Area.

We help school field trips to the Tech Interactive, sports team shuttles to Levi’s Stadium, corporate employee transportation for Apple or Google campuses, wedding guest rides to Saratoga wineries, church retreats heading to Mount Hermon, band tour buses for concerts at SAP Center, and youth camp vans going to Lake Cunningham. Any group of 10 or more people who want to travel together without carpooling can benefit from renting a bus. We also do emergency evacuation services during wildfire season and film production crew moves for shoots around Silicon Valley.

We serve all of Santa Clara County including San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Campbell, Milpitas, and Morgan Hill. Regularly send buses to Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Gatos, Saratoga, and Gilroy. Also cover nearby areas like Fremont, Hayward, Union City, and Redwood City. Long-distance charters available to San Francisco, Oakland, Monterey, Sacramento, Fresno, and Los Angeles.

Call our 24/7 hotline at 775-362-6940 or fill out the online form with your trip details (date, time, pickup address, destination, group size). We’ll give you an instant price estimate and show you pictures of available vehicles. Once you pick the option you like, we’ll email a contract for e-signature and take a deposit by credit card. The remaining balance is due before departure. You’ll get driver contact info and tracking link the day before your trip. Changes or cancellations allowed up to 72 hours prior with full refund.

Make sure the bus has enough seats for everyone plus a few extra in case someone brings a friend. Think about luggage space if you’re going to the airport or packing coolers for a picnic. Request Wi-Fi and power outlets if students need to do homework or employees want to charge laptops. For athletic teams, ask for underfloor storage bays to fit hockey bags or band instruments. Weddings often prefer newer models with good interiors for photos. Always mention special needs like wheelchair access so we send the right vehicle.
