Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page with your trip details—or call 405-363-1080—and you are taken directly to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independent operators serving the Edmond area, and their results page shows you what is available for your trip. From there, you choose a vehicle and a price and book it right on their website.
The whole thing takes a few minutes, and there is no account required to see results.
Your pickup city, your destination, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That gets you a quote. The more detail you add—your stops, start and end times, any luggage or oversized gear, and the amenities the group needs—the more accurate the quote comes back and the better you can match the vehicle to the trip.
If you are not sure on the details yet, call 405-363-1080 and someone can help you work through it.
Right away—there is no waiting on a callback. As soon as you submit the form you go straight to the search results page on the booking company's website and see quotes immediately. No inbox check required.
If you would rather go through it with someone, call 405-363-1080 and a live agent can pull up options and walk you through them on the spot.
The earlier the better, especially for a popular date or a specific vehicle—but that is not a reason to wait. Because Busrentaledmond.com puts your request in front of a whole network of transportation companies serving Edmond rather than a single operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable when one company would have told you no. Submit the request or call 405-363-1080 even if the date is close.
On high-demand dates—OU home game Saturdays, prom weekends in April and May, the Oklahoma State Fair in September—the earlier you move, the more vehicles and prices you have to choose from.
All of those can be requested. Hourly, or as-directed, keeps the vehicle with your group for a block of time and works well when the itinerary has several stops or the schedule is not fixed. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another—a hotel to a stadium, a campus to an airport.
A round trip brings everyone back to the starting point. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops built in, like a brewery loop or a wedding shuttle between a hotel and a venue. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day—an overnight to Dallas or a weekend in Branson.
Which format fits depends on the trip itself. If the itinerary has multiple stops or runs overnight, lay it out in full with the request so it comes back priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Those are real ranges—and pricing is not one size fits all. The type of bus, the date, the distance, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all move the number.
The ranges are a starting point, not your price. Fill out the form to see pricing for your actual trip in seconds, or call 405-363-1080—going through the trip with someone can turn up better packages and pricing than you would find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance—roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark, or heading well out of the Edmond area toward Dallas, Tulsa, or Kansas City—may carry a per-mile charge instead.
A long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Which structure applies to your trip is determined by the actual itinerary. Submit your trip details and the results page will show you what applies.
Six things move the price: the type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how much demand is on that date locally. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime trips price lower than those same evenings.
Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock. In Edmond specifically, OU home game Saturdays, prom weekends in April and May, and Oklahoma State Fair weekend in September are the dates where the whole OKC metro market tightens at once—moving earlier on those dates is the single biggest thing you can do for your price.
Fill out the form or call 405-363-1080 and the results show you what is available for your specific trip.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip—with its own route and its own schedule—rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle. A standard full-size charter bus seats roughly 40 to 56 people, and the group has the whole coach to themselves for the duration of the trip.
From the outside, a charter bus is a full-size coach body—long, high-sided, with large windows running the length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the lower skirt. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, though some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the coach that shows up will not always look identical to a photo. Popular makes include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45—all built on the same tall, wide-body coach profile.
Inside, you find forward-facing seats in pairs on either side of a center aisle, with seat fabric in cloth or leather depending on the model, overhead parcel racks running the length of the cabin, and a restroom toward the rear. The interior is quieter and more spacious than most people expect the first time they step on one.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, an onboard restroom, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, power outlets, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may include USB charging ports, reading lights, and tinted windows depending on the make and model. Because amenities vary by vehicle, use "may include" as the working expectation—the exact equipment on a given coach is confirmed during booking.
If there are specific amenities the group needs, note them with the trip details so the results narrow to vehicles that carry them.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common build on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60; the Van Hool CX45 is the same—56 standard, up to 60; the Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44.
What changes the count on the same coach: extra legroom configurations take seats out, and a wheelchair position also reduces the total. Because Busrentaledmond.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date. Submit the trip or call 405-363-1080 if the group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle—forward facing, paired, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, since those configurations take space from the standard row count. Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for the view.
The 14-row, 56-seat layout is the standard on a full-size coach.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. If you are working out whether one fits somewhere—a venue entrance, a parking structure, a loading zone—the practical reference is roughly three cars parked end to end. Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and those are sometimes the right call for tighter urban routes or smaller groups.
The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design for 12 feet. If you are checking clearance at a parking structure, a covered loading lane, or a venue entrance, that is the number to work with. A real-world comparison: a full-size coach is a little taller than a single story of a house.
Low-clearance structures and covered drop-off areas are worth checking in advance if the route goes through one.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. Onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator. One expectation worth setting honestly: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach—phones, messaging, browsing—not for fifty or sixty people doing heavy work simultaneously.
It handles a group staying connected; it is not a substitute for a dedicated business connection on a high-bandwidth task. If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details so the results narrow to vehicles that carry it.
Yes—an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach. The honest expectation: it is there so the group does not have to stop, and on a long run—say, Edmond to Dallas or Edmond to Branson—the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops built in.
Note it with the trip details if it matters for the group, and it will be confirmed during booking.
Yes—charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. What that means practically: a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run from Edmond to Tulsa or down to Dallas without hunting for a plug.
Note it with the trip details if the group needs it, and it will be confirmed during booking.
Yes—in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays run along the lower skirt of the exterior. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks.
Translated into what that actually means for a full 56-passenger load: it works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead—in practice, about one checked-size bag per person below plus one small carry-on above. A few things change that math. A coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space to the lift mechanism.
Bulky gear—instruments, sports equipment, event supplies, cases of product samples—takes the space of several standard bags and should be called out explicitly. If the group is traveling with anything oversized or has more luggage than a standard overnight bag each, state that with the trip details so the right coach is matched to the group. A mismatch between luggage volume and baggage capacity is the most common planning oversight on longer trips, and it is easy to avoid by flagging it up front.
