Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Frederick

A charter bus is a large, privately rented motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together to a specific destination or event. Unlike public buses that run fixed routes, a charter bus operates on a schedule and itinerary set by the renter, making it ideal for group travel such as corporate outings, school trips, weddings, sports events, or multi-day tours. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and come equipped with comfortable reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage storage, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and video monitors.

Many vehicles are available in multiple colors (black, white, silver, or custom wraps) and come with the latest amenities. We can also provide ADA-accessible coaches and custom-wrap vehicles for special events or corporate branding.

Most modern charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, and a restroom.

Specific amenities vary by bus size and model, so ask your reservation specialist about available features when booking.
