FAQs about Charter bus Rentals in Illinois
What Is a Charter Bus?
A charter bus is a large, comfortable, and fully equipped motorcoach designed for long-distance travel and transporting large groups of people. Charter buses in Illinois are ideal for everything from corporate events in downtown Chicago to school trips to the Field Museum or the Lincoln Park Zoo. They offer the most comfortable and reliable way to move big groups across the state or even out-of-state.
How Many Seats Are on a Charter Bus?
Most full-size charter buses seat between 40 and 56 passengers, but a 56-passenger charter bus is the most common model in our fleet. When you need to move a large group, this is the best option. If you need something smaller, we also offer minibuses that seat 35 passengers or less.
How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Charter Bus?
Illinois Party Bus Company provides the best charter bus rentals in Illinois at a price that fits your budget. Our pricing is always transparent, so you know exactly what you're getting. Charter buses cost $150-$400+ per hour on weekdays, $150-$450+ per hour on weekends, $1,500-$3,500+ per day, or $5.00-$10.00+ per mile, depending on the time of year, location, and specific details of your trip. Just call us with your itinerary, and we'll get you an instant quote tailored to your exact needs. We work hard to get you a solution that fits your budget, and we always provide transparent pricing.
What Does a Charter Bus Look Like?
Charter buses are large, sleek, modern vehicles built for comfort and efficiency. They have a long, rectangular body with large tinted windows for privacy and sun protection. The exterior is typically white, black, or gray, though custom wraps are available for specific branding or events. Charter buses sit high off the ground on three axles (six wheels) and feature a streamlined front end with a large windshield and side mirrors extending from the body. The roofline is slightly curved, and the rear is squared off with integrated taillights and a large engine compartment.
What Amenities Are Available on a Charter Bus?
Charter buses offer the best amenities for long-distance travel. You can get Wi-Fi, power outlets, reclining seats, and flat-screen TVs with DVD players. There's also climate control, PA systems for announcements, and onboard restrooms for convenience on longer trips.
Do Charter Buses Have Bathrooms?
Yes, most full-size charter buses have onboard restrooms. This is one of the biggest advantages of booking a charter bus for long-distance travel or large groups. It saves time on stops and keeps everyone comfortable, especially on trips out of Illinois or across Chicago.

Do Charter Buses Have Outlets?
Yes, charter buses have power outlets. Most full-size charter buses have power outlets and USB ports located at each row of seats. This ensures that passengers can keep their devices charged throughout the trip, which is especially important for long-distance travel or multi-day itineraries.
Do Charter Buses Have Luggage Space?
Yes, charter buses have ample luggage space. Most full-size charter buses feature large undercarriage storage bays-often referred to as "stow-and-go" or "cargo" bays-that run the length of the bus between the axles. These compartments are accessible from exterior side doors and can hold large suitcases, equipment cases, or bulky items like coolers and folding tables.
How Much to Tip Charter Bus Driver?
Gratuity is included in your charter bus rental cost, so you don't have to worry about tipping your driver at the end of your trip. If you feel your driver went above and beyond, you can always give them a little extra cash, but it's not required or expected. We take care of the drivers, so you can focus on enjoying your trip.
How Far in Advance Should I Book My Illinois Charter Bus?
The best way to secure the best charter bus in Illinois is to book as early as possible-ideally six to nine months in advance. This is especially important for trips during peak season (April through June) or major events in Chicago, like the Chicago Marathon or Taste of Chicago. Charter buses are always in high demand for weekend events, weddings, and school trips, so the earlier you book, the better selection you'll have.
