The price of your charter bus rental depends on several factors: the type and size of bus you choose, the length of your trip (miles or days), your exact pickup and drop-off locations, the time of year, and any special amenities you request. Longer trips and multi-day events cost more than local shuttles. You may also need to pay for tolls, parking, and a hotel room for your driver on overnight trips.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least six months in advance for trips during the spring and summer, which is peak season for school trips, weddings, and sports travel. Fall and winter trips should be booked at least three months ahead. Last-minute bookings are possible if vehicles are available, but selection will be limited. Large events and multi-bus charters should be reserved as early as possible to ensure availability.

Bus Rental Company Joliet offers four sizes of buses: 18-passenger minibuses, 20-passenger minibuses, 25-passenger minibuses, and 56-passenger full-size charter buses. Minibuses are ideal for airport transfers, corporate shuttles, and small-group outings. The 56-passenger motorcoach is perfect for school trips, wedding transportation, large events, and long-distance travel. All buses have forward-facing seats, climate control, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and power outlets. ADA-accessible vehicles are available upon request.

Amenities vary by bus type but may include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, luggage compartments, Wi-Fi, 110V/USB power outlets, video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, PA system, and onboard restroom (56-passenger model only). Minibuses do not have restrooms but make regular stops as needed. Wi-Fi and entertainment systems must be requested in advance. Additional amenities such as leatherette seating or custom branding are available on select models.

Yes, our 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with a full-service restroom located at the rear of the coach. The restroom includes a toilet, sink, vanity, and locking door. Minibuses do not have onboard restrooms due to space constraints. For trips using minibuses, drivers will make restroom stops upon request. If restroom access is essential for your group, please specify this when booking so we can assign a vehicle that meets your needs.

Most of our buses are equipped with either 110V power outlets, USB charging ports, or both. On full-size charter buses, outlets are typically located at each row of seats or shared between pairs of seats. Minibuses may have outlets at the front and rear of the cabin. These power sources allow passengers to charge phones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices during the trip. If your group has specific power requirements, such as needing to run multiple laptops simultaneously, please inform your reservation specialist so we can ensure your bus has adequate electrical capacity.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on most buses upon request. The onboard Wi-Fi system connects to cellular data networks and allows passengers to browse the internet, check email, and use social media on their personal devices. Bandwidth is limited and not suitable for streaming video or downloading large files. If your group requires internet access for work or entertainment, please request a bus with Wi-Fi when making your reservation. Note that connectivity may be intermittent in rural areas or tunnels. There is no additional charge for Wi-Fi, but availability depends on the specific vehicle assigned to your trip.
