Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Oakland

A charter bus is a private, pre-arranged vehicle rental that provides group transportation to and from destinations determined by the customer. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity services, a charter bus operates on a custom itinerary set by the client, making it ideal for events like corporate outings, school trips, weddings, sports team travel, or multi-day tours. Modern charter buses seat 20 to 56+ passengers and offer amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, and luggage compartments.

Charter Bus Company Oakland offers a wide range of buses in Oakland, including 15 to 35 passenger minibuses, 40 to 56 passenger full-size motorcoaches, party buses for special events, and several models of school buses. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers such as Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech Motors, and Turtle Top. We can also provide ADA-accessible buses and vehicles with custom seating configurations for any type of group or event.

Most modern Oakland charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, luggage bays, and overhead parcel racks. Additional amenities can include free Wi-Fi, 110V or USB power outlets at every seat, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth audio, and a PA system. Larger coaches (40+ seats) typically have a restroom with a toilet and hand sanitizer. Premium models may offer leather upholstery, tray tables, footrests, or even forward-facing tables for four. Minibuses (20–35 seats) share many of these features but may lack a restroom or have fewer video screens. All amenities should be confirmed when booking, as exact specifications vary by coach size and manufacturer.

Yes, all Oakland charter buses have dedicated luggage space. Full-size motorcoaches (40–56 seats) feature large undercarriage baggage bays that can hold one standard suitcase per passenger, plus carry-on items. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin accommodate backpacks, briefcases, or smaller bags. The typical allowance is one large bag below and one carry-on above per person. Minibuses (20–35 seats) offer overhead storage and limited rear cargo space but lack full underfloor bays. For trips requiring extra baggage—such as airport transfers, sports teams with equipment, or groups with bulky items—please specify your needs when booking. The largest coaches can handle skis, musical instruments, or trade show materials, while minibus capacity is better suited to day trips or light travelers.

For major events or large groups, booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be limited in vehicle selection and subject to higher prices.
