Bus Rentals in Cleveland, Ohio

A charter bus is a large motor vehicle designed to transport groups of people together for private trips, events, or long-distance travel. Unlike public transit buses, charter buses operate on schedules and routes set by the customer, making them ideal for school outings, corporate events, sports team travel, weddings, and multi-day tours. These buses typically offer comfortable, forward-facing seats and a range of onboard amenities to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey for all passengers.

Charter Bus Company Cleveland offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Cleveland and across Ohio, with vehicles available in multiple sizes and styles to accommodate any group. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses (40-56 passengers) from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, and TEMSA; mid-size minibuses (15-35 passengers) built by Grech Motors, Turtle Top, and Champion; party buses (10-40 passengers) with custom interiors; and sprinter vans (up to 15 passengers) from Mercedes-Benz and Ford Transit. We also have school buses, ADA-accessible buses, and specialty vehicles available upon request.

Most modern charter buses in Cleveland come equipped with a wide range of amenities designed to enhance passenger comfort and convenience during the ride. Standard features typically include plush, reclining seats with armrests and footrests; individual reading lights; climate control; overhead parcel racks for carry-on items; and large undercarriage luggage bays. Many buses also offer free Wi-Fi, power outlets or USB ports at every seat, flat-screen TVs with DVD/Blu-ray players, and an onboard restroom located at the rear of the coach. Additional options may include PA systems, microphone setups, tray tables, and even hardwood-style flooring or LED accent lighting on select models.

Yes, charter buses have ample luggage space both inside and outside the cabin. Overhead compartments above the seats are perfect for smaller bags, backpacks, or personal items that passengers want to keep within easy reach during the trip. For larger suitcases, equipment cases, or bulkier items, there are spacious undercarriage storage bays accessible from outside the bus. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase for the luggage bay and one smaller bag for the overhead rack, making it easy to accommodate groups traveling with lots of gear.

Several factors can influence the cost of renting a charter bus in Cleveland, including the size and type of vehicle, the duration of the trip, the total distance traveled, and the time of year. Peak demand periods—such as summer months, holiday weekends, or dates coinciding with major events like the NFL Draft, NBA playoffs, or large festivals—may result in higher rates due to limited availability. Additional services such as special amenities, multiple pick-up locations, or out-of-state travel can also impact the final price.
