Learn More About Charter Bus Company Evanston
What is a Charter Bus?
A charter bus is a large, full-size motorcoach rented by a private group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client’s group—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, or event organizer. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and are equipped with comfortable reclining seats, strong air conditioning, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and video screens.
What Types of Buses Does Charter Bus Company Evanston Offer in Evanston?
Charter Bus Company Evanston offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Evanston and the North Shore, with vehicles ranging from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches and several options in between. Our fleet includes multiple models of minibuses (seating 15, 18, 20, 24, 28, 30, 35, and 38 passengers), standard 55- or 56-passenger motorcoaches, and even 60-passenger double-decker coaches for very large groups. We can also provide party buses (with seating for 15 to 40), sprinter vans (10–15 seats), and school buses (up to 44 adults or 66 children) if needed. Available makes include Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, and Champion—all popular, reliable brands in the industry. Many vehicles are available in black, white, silver, or custom colors, and we can often provide a specific model or exterior color upon request.
What Amenities Are Included With an Evanston Charter Bus Rental?
Most modern Evanston charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, and a restroom with a toilet and hand sanitizer. Additional amenities often include flat-screen monitors, DVD player, PA system, Wi-Fi, and 110V or USB power outlets at each seat. Many newer coaches offer forward-facing seating with cloth or vinyl upholstery, but leatherette seating may be available on request. Larger groups can request multiple buses or vehicles with upgraded interiors.
Do Evanston Charter Buses have Luggage Space?
Yes, all full-size Evanston charter buses have generous luggage space both inside and below the passenger cabin. Each coach is equipped with overhead parcel racks above the seats for carry-on items like backpacks, briefcases, or small duffel bags. Larger suitcases, roller bags, and bulky items can be stored in the undercarriage luggage bays, which run the length of the bus on both sides. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase for the luggage bay and one smaller bag for the overhead rack. For groups with extra baggage—such as sports teams with equipment, musicians with gear, or travelers with multiple bags—we can assign a larger coach or multiple buses to ensure everyone’s luggage fits comfortably and safely.
Do You Offer ADA-Accessible Buses in Evanston?
Yes, Charter Bus Company Evanston can provide ADA-accessible buses in Evanston with advance notice. Many modern motorcoaches are available with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, accessible restrooms, and space for mobility devices. If you need an ADA-compliant vehicle, please specify this when requesting your quote so we can assign a coach that meets all accessibility requirements for your passengers.

What Factors Affect Charter Bus Pricing in Evanston?
Several factors affect the price of a charter bus rental in Evanston, including the size and type of vehicle, the length and duration of the trip, the time of year, and any special requests or add-ons. Larger buses generally cost more than smaller ones, and longer trips (measured by mileage or hours) will be more expensive than short local charters. Peak season for bus rentals in the Chicago area is typically spring and fall, when schools and universities are in session and there are more weddings and events—so rates may be higher during these times. Additional costs can include tolls, parking fees, driver lodging on overnight trips, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi or video screens. Major events like Northwestern football games, downtown Chicago festivals, or airport transfers during holiday periods can also impact pricing due to increased demand.

How far in advance should I book a Evanston charter bus?
It’s best to book your Evanston charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and fall are especially busy due to school trips, weddings, and sports events, so advance booking is critical during these seasons. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer fewer vehicle options.
Do you require a deposit? When is payment due?
Yes, Charter Bus Company Evanston requires a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total trip cost, but this can vary depending on the size and type of vehicle. Full payment is due 30 days before the date of your trip. For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, the full balance is due at the time of booking. We accept major credit cards, ACH payments, and checks for payment.
What is Included in my Quote?
Your quote includes the bus rental, driver’s time, fuel, insurance, and any standard onboard amenities (Wi-Fi, power outlets, video screens). Not included are tolls, parking fees, driver lodging on overnight trips, and optional add-ons like Wi-Fi or video screens. Parking fees at local venues like Ryan Field or United Center can range from $50 to $150. You are responsible for additional expenses incurred during the trip.

Can I request a specific bus model or color?
Yes, you can request a specific bus model or exterior color, and we will do our best to accommodate your preference. Our fleet includes several popular makes (Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech) and most vehicles are available in black, white, silver, or gray.
