Bus Rentals in Germantown, Maryland

A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike fixed-route public buses, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, or event organizer—and can make local, regional, or long-distance trips. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and come equipped with comfortable reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional amenities like WiFi and video monitors.

Charter Bus Company Germantown offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Germantown and the entire Montgomery County region. Our vehicles range from 15-, 18-, 20-, 25- and 28-passenger minibuses to full-size 40-, 45-, 50- and 56-seat charter buses, with several specialty and party bus options as well. We carry multiple models from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (J4500, D4500), Setra (S417), Temsa, Grech Motors (for larger minibuses), and even double-decker coaches for very large groups. Many vehicles are available in different exterior colors (black, white, silver, custom wraps) and can be further customized with interior/exterior branding upon request.

Most of our Germantown charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC/climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, PA system, and flat-screen video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray input. Many coaches offer onboard Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at every seat, and one or two clean, spacious restrooms mid-cabin. Newer/luxury models may feature leatherette upholstery, forward-facing or conference-style seating, Bluetooth-enabled sound system, HDMI inputs for gaming or presentations, and optional LED accent lighting. Larger/luxury minibuses share many of the same amenities, minus the restroom and luggage bays.

Yes! Every full-size charter bus has generous luggage space both inside the cabin (overhead parcel racks) and below the floor in undercarriage luggage bays. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase or duffel bag for the luggage bay plus one smaller carry-on or backpack for the overhead rack. For a 56-passenger coach, that’s roughly 50–60 large bags below and 50–60 carry-ons above. The bays easily accommodate bulky items like sports equipment, band instruments, or trade show materials. Smaller/larger minibuses have overhead racks but no undercarriage bays, so luggage capacity is more limited—typically one carry-on per person plus a few larger bags stored at the rear of the cabin.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms upon request. Just let us know your accessibility needs when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure your bus meets all ADA requirements.
