Charter Bus Rentals Ontario, California

A standard charter bus typically seats 40 to 56 passengers, but the exact number depends on the specific model and configuration. For example, a 45-foot MCI J4500 or Prevost H3-45 will have 56 forward-facing reclining seats with headrests and footrests, while a Van Hool CX45 can be ordered in 50-, 52-, or 54-seat layouts. Some operators offer 47- or 49-passenger options with extra legroom or rear lounge areas. Always confirm the seating capacity before booking to ensure it meets your group’s needs.

Every charter bus comes standard with cushioned seats that recline, overhead parcel racks, climate control (heating and A/C), and a PA system. Most have either 110V outlets or USB ports at each row, free Wi-Fi, and 5-6 video monitors connected to a DVD/Blu-ray player or HDMI input. There’s a restroom at the back with a toilet and sink. Larger models include underfloor luggage bays, while premium packages add leatherette upholstery, wood-look flooring, and extra screens.

Yes, most modern charter buses are equipped with power outlets. This typically includes either 110V electrical outlets, USB ports, or a combination of both. Outlets are usually located at each row of seats—either between seat pairs, below the window, or integrated into the seatback or armrest—so multiple passengers can charge devices simultaneously. Some older models may have fewer outlets (one per side per row), but newer coaches often provide at least one charging option per passenger.

Yes, most full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers) have a bathroom at the rear of the coach. This is typically a compact, enclosed restroom with a flushing toilet, small sink or hand sanitizer dispenser, mirror, and waste bin. The restroom is designed for basic use during travel—there’s no shower—and relies on a holding tank system. Smaller minibuses (15–35 passengers) generally do not have onboard bathrooms due to space constraints.

Yes, charter buses have two types of luggage storage: overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for small bags, and large underfloor baggage bays for suitcases and equipment. A standard 56-passenger coach can accommodate up to 15–20 cubic feet of luggage per person—enough for one large suitcase and one carry-on each. The exact capacity varies by bus model and interior layout, but there is generally ample space for all passengers’ belongings, musical instruments, or athletic gear. Charter buses routinely handle airport transfers, sports team moves, and band tours requiring substantial luggage volume.

The cost of renting a charter bus in Ontario depends on several factors: the size and type of bus, the length of the trip (miles and hours), how many days you need it, time of year, and any special requests. For example, a local round-trip within San Bernardino County will be less expensive than a multi-day charter to Las Vegas or San Francisco. Charter bus rates are typically charged by the hour, day, or mile—whichever is greater. Expect higher prices during peak seasons (spring break, summer vacations, major events) and lower rates for weekday or off-peak travel. The best way to get an accurate quote is to contact us with your itinerary details. We’ll give you a clear price with no extra fees.

You should book your Ontario charter bus at least six to nine months in advance—especially if your trip falls during the busy season (spring break, summer vacations, or major event weekends). The earlier you reserve, the more options you’ll have for vehicle size, amenities, and exact scheduling. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be limited by availability and could cost more. If you’re planning travel around high-demand dates—like graduations, sports tournaments, or holiday weekends—it’s best to secure your bus as soon as you have confirmed details.

No, your quote covers only the base rental of the bus and driver but does not include external fees such as tolls, parking, or special permits required during the trip. These additional costs are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid directly when incurred. For example, if your itinerary includes stops at venues like Toyota Arena, Ontario Convention Center, or airport pickups at ONT, you will need to cover any associated parking charges. Major event destinations such as Crypto.com Arena, Dodger Stadium, SoFi Stadium, and Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, or Honda Center and Angel Stadium in Anaheim, all require advance parking reservations and fees that are not part of your bus rental agreement. Similarly, tolls on routes like the 91 Express Lanes or 10 Freeway express lanes will be billed separately. It is essential to budget for these extra expenses when planning your trip, as they can vary widely depending on the location and duration of your charter. If you have questions about potential fees for specific destinations, please ask your representative for guidance.

Ontario’s public transit system is operated primarily by Omnitrans, which provides fixed-route bus service throughout San Bernardino County, including local routes connecting the Ontario Mills area, downtown Ontario, and neighboring cities like Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana. Metrolink’s San Bernardino Line offers commuter rail service to Los Angeles Union Station, but runs on a limited schedule mostly suited for weekday commuters. While these options are affordable and useful for individuals, they aren’t practical for moving large groups on a strict timetable. A private charter bus rental gives you direct, door-to-door transportation anywhere you need to go—without having to transfer between lines or worry about missed connections.
