A charter bus is a large, professionally operated vehicle rented by a private group for custom transportation. Unlike a city bus or school bus that runs on fixed routes, a charter bus goes exactly where and when your group wants—whether that’s a one-way trip to Spokane International Airport (GEG), a multi-day tour of Northwest wineries, or a hotel shuttle for a Valley wedding. Most modern charter buses seat 40–56 passengers, offer cushioned reclining seats, strong climate control, luggage bays, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi or video screens. Smaller “minibuses” (15–35 seats) are also available for lighter groups.

Most full-size charter buses are 40–45 feet long, about 12 feet tall, and have a smooth, aerodynamic shape with large tinted windows running the length of the cabin. The exterior is typically painted white, black, silver, or another neutral color, sometimes with subtle graphics or stripes—though custom wraps are available. You’ll notice luggage bay doors along the lower sides, two axles in the rear, and either a single or double front entry door. The roofline is slightly curved, and the front end has a wide windshield with integrated headlights and mirrors. Minibuses look similar but are shorter (20–30 feet), often built on heavy-duty van or truck chassis, and may have a squared-off rear end.

Most full-size charter buses in Spokane Valley seat between 50 and 56 passengers, though some models can accommodate as few as 40 or as many as 60 depending on the interior configuration. Smaller minibus rentals typically offer anywhere from 18 to 35 seats, making them ideal for mid-sized groups or as supplemental shuttles. When you call Charter Bus Rental Spokane Valley, we can help you choose a vehicle with the exact seating capacity you need.

Anyone who needs to move a large group of people at once can rent a charter bus! In Spokane Valley, we commonly work with schools planning field trips to places like the Spokane Valley Heritage Museum, corporate groups attending conferences at the Spokane Convention Center, couples hosting destination weddings at local venues, sports teams traveling to games and tournaments, churches organizing retreats and mission trips, and event planners coordinating transportation for festivals, concerts, and other large gatherings. We also provide employee shuttles, airport transfers, and transportation for military and government groups.

We offer a full range of buses in Spokane Valley, including 18-, 20-, 25-, and 28-passenger minibuses; 35- and 40-passenger mid-size coaches; and 54- to 56-passenger full-size charter buses. Many models are available in each size, including popular brands like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, and Temsa. We can also provide party buses (20–40 passengers) and entertainer coaches (up to 12 with bunks) if needed. Just tell us your group size and any special requirements, and we’ll match you with the best available vehicle.

A charter bus and coach bus are essentially the same thing: a large, comfortable vehicle designed to transport 40–56 passengers over short or long distances. A party bus is a smaller vehicle (often built on a minibus or limo chassis) with a custom interior featuring perimeter seating, color-changing lights, a sound system, and space for dancing—ideal for bachelor/bachelorette parties, weddings, or nights out in Spokane. An entertainer bus (or sleeper coach) is a luxury vehicle designed for touring musicians, performers, or VIPs, with sleeping bunks, a lounge area, kitchen, bathroom with shower, and advanced entertainment systems.

Most modern charter buses offer reclining seats with headrests, strong air conditioning and heating, overhead parcel racks, reading lights, and underfloor luggage bays. Additional amenities can include free Wi-Fi, individual 110V power outlets or USB ports, flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth audio, PA/microphone system, and a restroom with toilet and hand sanitizer. Some buses have forward-facing seats with folding tray tables, while others offer optional leather upholstery or upgraded interiors. Minibuses include many of the same features, though not always a restroom or luggage bay. Just ask about specific amenities when you request a quote.

Yes, many of our Spokane Valley charter buses come equipped with onboard WiFi, allowing passengers to stay connected, browse the internet, check email, and stream content while on the road. However, WiFi availability can vary depending on the specific vehicle, so be sure to request it when booking if it’s important for your trip. Our team can also recommend buses with additional tech amenities like individual power outlets and USB ports at each seat.

A full-size charter bus offers substantial luggage capacity, with both underfloor baggage bays and interior overhead racks. As a general rule, each passenger can bring one large suitcase (similar to airline checked baggage) plus a smaller carry-on bag. For a 56-passenger coach, that’s roughly 50–60 full-size suitcases in the lower bays, with carry-ons stored above the seats inside the cabin. Oversized items like skis, snowboards, or band equipment can often be accommodated if arranged in advance. Minibuses have limited luggage space—typically 1 bag per person—but may include a rear cargo area or roof-mounted carrier. If your group has extra baggage, please mention this when booking.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible charter buses in Spokane Valley and throughout Spokane County. These vehicles are equipped with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, designated securement areas, and accessible restrooms to accommodate passengers with mobility impairments.

Yes, you can wrap your charter bus with custom graphics, branding, or advertising, but there are additional fees and restrictions. Full wraps typically cost $2,500 to $5,000 or more, depending on the size of the bus and complexity of the design. Partial wraps and window decals are also available. You’ll need to provide artwork in advance, and the wrap must be professionally installed and removed. Wrapping is popular for corporate events, sports teams, political campaigns, and special promotions. Ask our team about options and pricing when you book.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2 to 6 months in advance—to ensure the best availability and pricing. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, sports, and weddings, so buses can book up quickly. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer fewer vehicle options. For large events or complex itineraries, booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended.

For multi-day or long-distance trips that require an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should offer safe parking for the bus and be located reasonably close to the group’s lodging or event venue. Most clients book a standard room at the same hotel where the group is staying. For shorter trips or single-day charters, no accommodations are needed. Our team can advise on specific requirements based on your itinerary.

Book early, especially during peak seasons (spring and fall), to secure the best rates and vehicle selection.

Communicate any special needs, such as ADA accessibility, additional luggage space, or specific onboard amenities.
