Charter Bus Rentals in Wauwatosa

A charter bus is a large, comfortable motorcoach rented by a group to provide private, pre-arranged transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike a public bus with fixed stops, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the customer—whether that’s a one-way trip, round trip, or multi-day itinerary with custom pickup and drop-off locations. These vehicles are commonly used for school outings, corporate events, sports team travel, weddings, or any occasion requiring group movement. Modern charter buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and offer amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional Wi-Fi or video monitors.

Charter Bus Company Wauwatosa offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses available in Wauwatosa and the entire Milwaukee area, with vehicles that can accommodate anywhere from 10 to 56 passengers. Our fleet includes multiple models of full-size, 56-passenger motorcoaches from top manufacturers like Van Hool CX45 and TX40/45, MCI J4500 and D4500/D4000 series, Prevost H3-45 and X3-45, Setra S417, and Temsa HD/TS45. For smaller groups, we offer several models of minibuses and mid-size coaches, including Grech Motors GM33/36/40, Turtle Top VT3 and Terra Transit, Champion Challenger and LF Transport, ElDorado Aerotech and Advantage, and Glaval Legacy and Universal—all available in 15-, 20-, 24-, 28-, 30-, and 35-passenger configurations. Many of our minibuses are built on Ford E-Series, F-Series, and Transit chassis, as well as Chevrolet/GMC cutaways. We also have party buses (14–40 passengers), executive sprinter vans (10–15 passengers), and school buses (up to 48 passengers) available. Most vehicles can be ordered in black, white, silver, or custom colors, and many offer upgraded interiors with leatherette seating, wood-look flooring, and advanced A/V systems. If you need something specific—like an ADA-accessible coach or a vehicle with premium amenities—just ask.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a restroom with toilet and hand sanitizer. Additional amenities often include one or more flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, PA system with microphone, 110V power outlets at each row, and onboard Wi-Fi for email or web browsing. Many newer coaches offer USB charging ports at every seat, Bluetooth-enabled sound system, and optional HDMI input for laptops or gaming devices. Mid-size and mini-coaches typically include high-back cloth or vinyl seats, basic A/V system, strong air conditioning, and overhead storage; some models have forward-facing video screens, USB/power outlets, and Wi-Fi. Premium coaches may feature leatherette upholstery, wood-look flooring, LED accent lighting, larger video monitors, and wireless PA mic. Exterior luggage compartments are standard on most vehicles over 25 passengers. Exact amenities vary by coach size, model year, and operator—so if you need something specific (like Wi-Fi, power outlets, or video screens), please request it when booking.

Yes, our charter buses offer ample luggage space for groups traveling with baggage or equipment. Full-size motorcoaches (40–56 passengers) are equipped with both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage luggage bays beneath the floor. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase or equipment bag to be stored in the undercarriage bay, plus one smaller carry-on item (backpack, briefcase, or duffel) to be placed in the overhead compartment above their seat. For trips requiring additional storage—such as sports teams with gear, band groups with instruments, or corporate groups with display materials—please mention this when booking so we can assign a coach with maximum luggage capacity or make special arrangements.

For large events or multi-bus rentals, 6 to 12 months’ notice is recommended. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited availability and higher rates.
