Bus Rentals in St. Louis, Missouri

A charter bus is a large, privately rented vehicle designed to transport groups of people together to a destination of their choice. Unlike public transportation or scheduled intercity buses, 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 typically seat 40–56 passengers and come equipped with comfortable reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, luggage storage, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and video monitors.

Charter Bus Company St. Louis offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in St. Louis, including vehicles from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches. Our fleet includes multiple models of 15-, 18-, 20-, 25-, 28-, 30-, 35-, 40-, 45-, 50-, 55-, and 56-passenger vehicles, as well as several 60- and 72-passenger double-decker coaches. We also offer party buses (10–40 passengers), entertainer coaches (sleeper buses for 12–18), and several ADA-accessible options. Available brands include Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, Ford, Grech Motors, and more. Many vehicles are available in multiple colors (black, white, silver, custom wraps) and can be further customized with exterior graphics or interior upgrades.

Most modern full-size coaches include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a restroom with toilet and hand sanitizer. Standard entertainment features include one or more flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, and a basic PA system with microphone. Connectivity options typically include Wi-Fi (4G/5G cellular), several 110V power outlets, and USB charging ports at each seat. Additional amenities may include leatherette upholstery, forward-facing seating, modesty panels at entry doors, and tinted windows for privacy. Onboard restrooms are standard on vehicles 35 feet and longer.

Yes, all full-size charter buses and most mid-size coaches have generous luggage space. There are two main storage areas: overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for smaller items (backpacks, briefcases, tote bags), and large underfloor luggage bays accessible from outside the bus for bigger bags (suitcases, duffel bags, equipment cases). As a general rule, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase for the underfloor bay and one carry-on item for the overhead rack. For groups with extra baggage—such as sports teams with gear, musicians with instruments, or travelers with bulky items—additional storage can be arranged by reserving a larger coach or requesting a trailer.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses with features such as wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Many of our newer-model coaches are built to meet or exceed ADA guidelines, with lift doors integrated into the bodywork, securement areas for one or two wheelchairs, and accessible entry steps with handrails. On vehicles 40 feet and longer, the onboard restroom can often accommodate a wheelchair user. When requesting an ADA-accessible bus, please specify the number of mobility devices in your party so we can assign a vehicle with adequate space and securement points.

Charter bus rental rates in St. Louis typically range from $170 to $400+ per hour on weekdays and $190 to $500+ per hour on weekends, depending on the size and type of vehicle. Daily rates run from $1,800 to $3,800 or more, while mileage-based trips are billed at $6.00 to $9.95 per mile.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the length of the trip (hours or miles), whether the trip is local or out-of-town, the time of year (peak seasons cost more), and any special requests such as luxury amenities or custom branding. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, driver lodging on overnight trips, and fuel surcharges if prices spike. Major events like Cardinals or Blues games, conventions at America’s Center, and festival weekends can also impact availability and pricing.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, sports events, and weddings, so buses can sell out quickly. For major events (Cardinals, Blues, conventions), book even earlier. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and have limited vehicle options.
