What Is a Charter Bus?

A charter bus is a vehicle reserved for private use by a group of people. Unlike public transportation, which operates on a set schedule and route, a charter bus rental allows you to create your own schedule and travel at your own pace. A charter bus is often called a coach bus, motorcoach, or simply a bus, but they all refer to the same type of vehicle. These buses are often used for large groups of people, such as for school field trips, corporate events, and sports teams.
