Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in St. Charles

A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together for private trips, events, or tours. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, charter buses operate on custom itineraries set by the group renting the vehicle. These buses are commonly used for school field trips, corporate outings, sports team travel, weddings, and multi-day tours because they offer comfortable seating, onboard amenities, and efficient group transportation over short or long distances.
