A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by a group to provide custom transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike a public Greyhound or Megabus, a charter bus does not sell individual tickets—one party rents the entire vehicle for exclusive use. These buses are commonly used for school trips, sports team travel, corporate events, wedding shuttles, or moving large groups to conventions and festivals. Most modern charter buses in Cheyenne seat 50–56 passengers and offer amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, WiFi, and video monitors. Popular models include the Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Van Hool CX45, and Setra S417.
A charter bus is a large, boxy vehicle with a flat front, high roofline, and smooth sides—typically 40 to 45 feet long and about 12 feet tall. It rides on six wheels (two front, four rear) and sits high above the ground, with a beltline running the length of the body just below the windows. The front end is slightly sloped or rounded, with a wide windshield wrapping around the corners, large side mirrors mounted on arms, and headlight clusters low on the nose. The body is usually painted white, black, silver, or gray, though custom colors and graphics are common; many buses have a two-tone scheme with a darker lower section. Side windows are large, rectangular, and evenly spaced—often tinted or darkened—but fixed in place. Below the windows, the smooth lower panels conceal baggage doors that swing upward to reveal luggage bays spanning the width of the coach. The main entry door is located just behind the front axle on the curb side—narrow, full-height, and split vertically to open outward. Above the roofline, some buses have low-profile HVAC units, while wheels are covered by rounded fender skirts. The overall appearance is sleek, streamlined, and professional, with minimal exterior trim or ornamentation.
Most full-size charter buses in Cheyenne seat between 50 and 56 passengers, depending on the exact model and interior configuration. Common seating capacities include 50, 52, 54, or 56. For example, an MCI J4500 or Van Hool CX45 typically seats up to 56, while a Prevost H3-45 may have 54 or 56. The variation comes from differences in seat pitch (legroom), whether there is a rear restroom, and if any seats are removed for accessibility. Smaller minibuses may seat 18, 20, 25, or 35 passengers, while larger double-decker coaches can hold up to 81. When requesting a quote, always ask for the exact seating capacity of the bus you’ll be getting.
Anyone who needs to move a large group of people at once can rent a charter bus—and that includes you! Schools and universities often book buses for field trips, athletic events, or campus tours. Corporations use them for employee shuttles, training sessions, or conference travel. Wedding planners arrange guest transportation between venues. Sports teams rely on charter buses for away games and tournaments. Churches organize trips to retreats or religious events. And friends and families may charter a bus for reunions, vacations, or special outings. In short, if you have a group and need reliable, comfortable transportation, a charter bus is the solution.
We offer a full range of vehicles in Cheyenne, including 18-, 20-, 25-, and 35-passenger minibuses; 56-passenger full-size charter buses; and several specialty coaches. Our minibuses are perfect for airport transfers, wedding shuttles, or moving small groups around town. The 56-passenger motorcoach is ideal for school trips, sports teams, or any large-group outing, with all the amenities you expect on a modern coach. We can also provide party buses (15–40 passengers), sprinter vans (10–15), and entertainer coaches (up to 12 with bunks) for special events or VIP travel. If you need something even larger, we have double-decker buses that can seat up to 81. Just let us know your group size and we’ll match you with the right vehicle.
A charter bus (or coach bus) is a large, full-size motorcoach designed to transport 40–56 passengers comfortably over short or long distances. It offers forward-facing seats, climate control, luggage bays, and optional amenities like WiFi, video monitors, and restrooms. A party bus is a smaller, modified vehicle (often built on a minibus or shuttle chassis) that seats 15–40 passengers and features a spacious interior with perimeter seating, color-changing LED lighting, a sound system, and room to stand or dance—perfect for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and nights out. An entertainer bus (or sleeper coach) is a custom motorcoach designed for touring musicians, performers, or VIPs; it includes living space with sofas, a galley kitchen, lounge area, bathroom with shower, and sleeping bunks for up to 12 people—ideal for multi-day trips where the group needs to sleep and relax on board. The main differences are seating capacity, interior layout, and intended use: charter/coach buses move large groups; party buses provide a mobile venue for celebrations; entertainer buses offer living quarters for touring professionals.
Most Cheyenne charter buses come standard with reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, and luggage storage both overhead and under the floor. Full-size coaches typically feature up to five video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA system with driver microphone, and an onboard restroom at the rear of the cabin. Optional amenities include free onboard WiFi (4G/5G cellular hotspot), 110V AC power outlets at every row, USB charging ports, and Bluetooth audio for streaming music or connecting devices to the sound system. Larger groups can request a coach with up to five flat-screen monitors, while smaller minibuses (20–35 seats) offer similar comforts minus the restroom and luggage bays. For special requests, some buses provide leatherette seating, hardwood-look flooring, or custom upholstery. If you need something specific—like tray tables, extra video screens, or additional power outlets—just ask when booking, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
Yes, most modern charter buses offer onboard WiFi as either a standard feature or optional add-on. The WiFi system works via a 4G/5G cellular hotspot mounted inside the coach, providing basic internet access for email, web browsing, and social media. Bandwidth is shared among all passengers and may be limited—streaming video, large downloads, or video calls are often restricted to ensure fair usage. Coverage is generally good in urban and suburban areas, but the connection can slow down or drop out in rural zones, mountain passes, or anywhere with weak cellular signal. If reliable WiFi is important for your trip, request it when booking and ask about data limits or performance expectations. Some newer coaches offer upgraded systems with faster speeds and better coverage. For critical online tasks, bring a backup cellular hotspot or download content in advance.
A standard 56-passenger charter bus offers up to 500 cubic feet of luggage space—enough for each passenger to bring one large suitcase plus a carry-on bag. Most of the storage is in underfloor bays that run the width of the coach and open from both sides; these compartments can hold bulky items like duffel bags, equipment cases, or coolers. Inside the cabin, overhead racks above the seats are sized for backpacks, briefcases, or small roller bags. For trips with extra gear—such as sports teams with equipment, band groups with instruments, or travelers with oversized items—we can allocate additional space or arrange for a second vehicle. Minibuses have less storage, with only limited room at the rear or in overhead shelves. If your group is bringing skis, bikes, or other large items, mention this when booking so we can ensure there’s enough room.
Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Just let us know what you need when you request your quote.
Yes, you can wrap your charter bus with a custom design, logo, or advertisement—provided you arrange this in advance and cover the associated costs. Full vinyl wraps are popular for corporate branding, sports teams, event promotion, or special occasions. The wrap must be professionally installed using high-quality materials that won’t damage the paint or bodywork. You’ll be responsible for the cost of installation, removal, and any repairs needed afterward. Allow extra time before your trip for the wrap to be applied—typically one to two days. Partial wraps or window decals are also available. When requesting a wrapped bus, provide artwork specifications and coordinate with the rental company to ensure compatibility. Additional fees may apply for preparation and inspection. Wrapped buses make a strong visual impact but require planning and budget.
You can request a specific bus model or color, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your preference—but availability is not guaranteed. Our fleet includes several popular models (MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, Setra, Temsa) in standard colors like white, black, silver, and gray. If you need a particular model—say, for matching another vehicle or meeting certain specifications—let us know when booking. We’ll check what’s available for your dates and offer the closest match. During busy periods, exact requests may be harder to fill, but we try to assign the model and color you want. For groups needing multiple buses, we can often provide matching coaches. Special requests (all-black, custom color) should be made early. While we aim to meet your needs, flexibility helps ensure you get a quality vehicle even if the exact model or color isn’t available.
Cheyenne charter bus rentals typically cost between $1,100 and $6,000+ depending on the size of the bus, length of the trip, and time of year.

For example, a full-size 56-passenger coach might run $150–$250 per hour, $4–$7 per mile, or $1,400–$2,200 per day. Minibuses are about 20–30% less.

Local trips within Cheyenne are billed by the hour—typically $140–$220 per hour with a 5-hour minimum.

Your quote covers the bus, driver, fuel, insurance, and all miles/hours for your itinerary. Not included are tolls, parking fees, lodging for the driver (if overnight), and gratuity (typically 5–10%). Any extras—like WiFi, PA system, or custom branding—will be itemized. You’ll get a single all-inclusive price for the transportation, with optional add-ons and estimated incidentals listed separately.
It’s best to book your bus at least 2–3 months in advance—especially if you’re traveling during the busy spring or summer season. Large events, school trips, and weddings can book up 6 months ahead. Last-minute rentals are possible but selection may be limited and rates higher. For peak dates (April–June), book 4–6 months out; for off-peak trips, 1–2 months is usually sufficient. The earlier you reserve, the better your choice of vehicles and pricing.
