Bus Rentals in Rockville, 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 contracting party—such as 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 feature comfortable reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and video monitors.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, PA system, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, and an onboard restroom. Many newer coaches offer free Wi-Fi, 110V/USB power outlets at every seat, and Bluetooth audio. Optional upgrades include leather or cloth seating, forward-facing or conference-style seating, additional video screens, and custom branding or exterior wraps. Smaller vehicles (minibuses) may have high-back cloth or vinyl seats, basic A/V system, and limited luggage space but can be equipped with Wi-Fi and USB power on request.

Yes, all full-size charter buses have generous luggage space both inside the cabin and below the floor. Each passenger can typically bring one large suitcase or duffel bag to be stored in the undercarriage luggage bays plus one smaller carry-on item (backpack, tote, briefcase) to go in the overhead parcel rack above their seat. For most trips, a 56-passenger coach can hold 50–60 pieces of luggage below plus 50–60 carry-on items inside. Minibuses have smaller rear cargo areas that can fit several suitcases but are best for groups traveling light.
