What Is a Charter Bus?

A charter bus is a private vehicle you can rent for a group of people. Charter buses are used to transport groups for trips or events, such as sporting events, business trips, weddings, and school field trips. The bus rental comes with a driver who operates the vehicle and navigates roads and traffic for your group. The most common type of charter bus is a 56-passenger coach bus, but you can also rent a minibus, sprinter van, or school bus for your group. A charter bus rental is one of the best ways to travel with a large group of people in Albuquerque. Charter buses have more space and amenities than public transportation, and you don’t have to drive your own vehicle.
