What Is a Charter Bus?

A charter bus is a private vehicle rented by a group for exclusive use. It’s designed to transport large groups together—often used for events like weddings, conferences, field trips, or sports travel. With Missouri City Charter Bus Services, you’ll get a clean, comfortable motorcoach with a driver included.

What Does a Charter Bus Look Like?

Charter buses are full-size motorcoaches, typically 40–45 feet long, with sleek exteriors and tinted windows.

What is the difference between a coach bus and a charter bus?
