Charter Bus Rentals in Davis

A charter bus is a large motorcoach hired by a group to provide private, customized transportation on a schedule and route of your choosing. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates exclusively for your party—whether that’s a sports team, corporate group, wedding party, or school class—making pickups, drop-offs, and stops based entirely on your needs. Charter buses are commonly used for trips such as out-of-town excursions, multi-day tours, event shuttles, or any situation where moving a large group efficiently is required.

Charter Bus Company Davis has one of the largest and most diverse fleets in Yolo County, offering everything from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size charter buses, party buses, entertainer coaches, sprinter vans, and specialty vehicles. Our fleet includes top makes and models like the Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, TEMSA TS35E, Grech Motors GM40, Turtle Top Odyssey XL, and more—available in multiple configurations to suit any group size or trip type.

Full-size charter buses feature reclining seats with headrests and footrests, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, onboard restroom, PA system, multiple flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, HDMI inputs, USB charging ports at every row, and WiFi. Minibuses offer similar seating and A/V options, while party buses add wraparound leather couches, color-changing LED lighting, hardwood floors, wet bars, and upgraded sound systems. We also offer ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts and priority seating.

Overhead compartments inside the cabin provide extra room for carry-on bags, backpacks, or smaller personal items.

Several factors influence the price of a charter bus rental in Davis, including the type and size of vehicle, total mileage, duration of the trip, and time of year. Additional considerations may include special requests for premium amenities, multiple pick-up or drop-off locations, and whether the charter spans multiple days. During peak seasons—such as graduation week at UC Davis, major sporting events, or large festivals—rates may be higher due to increased demand.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally at least three to six months in advance for large events or trips during peak season. Spring and early summer are especially busy due to school graduations, weddings, and festival schedules, so securing your reservation well ahead of time will ensure availability and the best rates. For smaller groups or off-peak travel, one to two months’ notice may be sufficient. Last-minute bookings are possible depending on fleet availability, but options may be limited.

For bookings made within 30 days of the trip, full payment is required upfront. We accept major credit cards, checks, ACH transfers, and other forms of payment. Our staff will provide a detailed invoice and payment schedule when you confirm your charter.

Your quote includes the use of the bus, driver’s time, fuel, insurance, and standard amenities. Not included are tolls, parking fees, driver’s hotel (for overnight trips), and gratuity. If your itinerary requires entry to venues with paid parking—such as Golden 1 Center in Sacramento or Oracle Park in San Francisco—those costs are the responsibility of the chartering party. Parking fees can range from $25 to $100+ depending on the location and event. Our team will advise you on any anticipated additional expenses based on your route.
