Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Waterbury

A charter bus is a large, professionally operated motorcoach that is rented by a private group for custom transportation. Unlike scheduled public buses, a charter bus runs on a route and timetable set entirely by the customer, making it ideal for moving groups to events, tours, or multi-day trips. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers, offer comfortable reclining seats, strong climate control, and have amenities like onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, and video monitors.

Charter Bus Company Waterbury offers a full range of vehicles from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, including several of the most popular and reliable models in the industry. Our fleet includes Grech Motors and Turtle Top VT3/VX-series minibuses (15–35 passengers), Van Hool CX45 and TX45 (up to 56), Prevost H3-45 (up to 56), MCI J4500 (up to 56), Setra S417 (up to 56), and Temsa TS30/TS35E mid-size coaches (30–40). Many vehicles are available in multiple exterior colors (white, black, silver, custom), and larger coaches can be wrapped with custom graphics if needed. Our team will help you choose the best vehicle based on your group size, trip length, and amenity preferences.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and an onboard restroom. Standard entertainment features are flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, and a PA system. Nearly all newer coaches offer Wi-Fi and 110V power outlets at every seat; many also have USB ports. Optional upgrades include leatherette upholstery, forward-facing or conference-style seating, tray tables, and Bluetooth audio. Larger coaches can have up to six video screens. All amenities will be specified in your quote.

Yes, all full-size charter buses have substantial luggage space both inside and below the main passenger cabin. Each bus has overhead parcel racks above the seats for carry-on items (backpacks, briefcases, small duffel bags) and large undercarriage luggage bays accessible from outside the coach. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase (airline carry-on or larger) for the luggage bay and one smaller bag for the overhead rack. For groups with extra equipment—musical instruments, sports gear, trade show materials—our team can recommend a coach with larger bays or multiple bays per side. Minibuses (15–35 seats) have limited luggage space but can still accommodate one small bag per person.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3–6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and fall are especially busy due to school trips, sports events, and weddings, so advance booking is critical during these seasons. For large events or multi-day trips, 6–12 months is recommended. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be more expensive and have limited vehicle options.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total trip cost but can vary depending on the size and type of vehicle. Full payment is due 30 days before the departure date. For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, full payment is required at the time of booking. We accept all major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks.
