Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Wheaton, Maryland

A charter bus is a large, comfortably operated motorcoach that is rented by a group for private transportation to and from destinations of their choice. Unlike scheduled public buses, a charter bus operates on a custom itinerary set by the client. These vehicles typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and are commonly used for school trips, corporate events, weddings, sports team travel, and multi-day tours. Modern charter buses offer comfortable seating, climate control, and various onboard amenities.

Charter Bus Company Wheaton offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Wheaton and Montgomery County, making us a top choice for groups of any size. Our lineup includes 15-, 18-, 20-, 25-, 28-, 30-, and 35-passenger minibuses; full-size 40-, 45-, 50-, and 56-passenger motorcoaches; and several specialty vehicles. We carry all the most popular makes and models, such as Van Hool CX45 and TX40/45, Prevost H3-45 and X3-45, MCI J4500 and D4500, Setra S417, Temsa TS30/TS35/TS45, Grech Motors GM33/GM36/GM40, Turtle Top VT3 and Terra Transit, and Champion Challenger. Many models are available in multiple colors—including black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, or custom wraps—so you can match your vehicle to your event. If you need something even larger, we can provide 60- to 80-passenger double-decker coaches or coordinate multi-bus rentals for very large groups. Our team will help you choose the perfect vehicle based on your headcount, budget, and desired amenities.

Most modern charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, luggage bays under the floor, and a restroom. Many also feature flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, a public address system, and 110V power outlets or USB ports at each seat. Newer coaches offer Wi-Fi, Bluetooth audio, and microphone setups for guides or speakers. Larger coaches may have up to five video screens, while smaller ones have one or two. Optional upgrades include leatherette upholstery, folding tray tables, and custom branding.

Yes, all our Wheaton charter buses have ample luggage space. Full-size motorcoaches offer both overhead compartments inside the cabin and large undercarriage bays beneath the floor. As a general rule, each passenger can bring one large suitcase or duffel bag to be stored below and one smaller carry-on item (backpack, briefcase, or tote) to be placed in the overhead rack. For example, a 56-passenger coach can typically accommodate 56 full-size bags below plus 56 carry-ons above. This makes it easy to transport sports equipment, band instruments, or presentation materials. If your group has extra-large items or additional luggage, let us know in advance so we can recommend a vehicle with sufficient capacity or arrange for additional storage.

You should book your Wheaton charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure the best availability and pricing. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sports events, so buses can sell out quickly. For trips during these busy times, booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer fewer vehicle options. Once you have your trip dates and headcount, it’s best to book your bus right away.
