Campbell Charter Bus, Minibus & Coach Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a large vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to specific destinations on a schedule you set. Unlike public VTA buses or Greyhound lines with fixed routes, charters go wherever and whenever you want—whether that’s shuttling tech teams between San Jose offices, taking wedding guests to Saratoga wineries, or moving student athletes around the CCS playoff circuit. The interior typically seats 40–56 passengers in cushioned high-back rows with overhead luggage racks, climate control, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi or restrooms depending on the exact model.

We provide Campbell groups with minibuses (18–35 seats), full-size charter buses (47–56 seats), school bus rentals (44–52 seats), and specialty vehicles like entertainer coaches or executive sprinter vans. Minibuses handle short-range shuttles to places like The Pruneyard or Winchester Mystery House. Larger 54-passenger coaches are reserved for big moves—high school band trips to Levi’s Stadium, corporate outings to SAP Center, or church retreats heading south on Highway 17. Each type comes from major manufacturers such as Prevost, Van Hool, Temsa, Blue Bird, Thomas Built, Collins, Grech, Turtle Top, Executive Coach Builders, Midwest Automotive Designs, and more.

Charter bus pricing depends on vehicle size, trip length, and seasonal demand. Small minibuses start around $150–$250 per hour with four-hour minimums—ideal for short loops between downtown parking lots and event venues like Ainsley House. Full-size 56-passenger coaches typically run $1,400–$2,600 per day for local Bay Area itineraries, while extended out-of-state charters are quoted at flat rates ranging from $5,000 to $10,000+ depending on mileage. Peak periods such as spring break, summer camps, or fall sports playoffs may see slightly higher rates due to driver availability. Use our instant quote tool to get an exact number in seconds.

Major cost drivers include total trip distance, number of days/hours booked, and bus size. Weekend weddings at Villa Ragusa or Saratoga Springs pay more than midweek corporate shuttles because demand spikes Friday–Sunday. Adding multiple pickup points—like looping through Willow Glen before heading to Shoreline Amphitheatre—increases mileage and labor time. Special requests for premium amenities (Wi-Fi, USB charging, leather seats) may bump the quote slightly if only certain models have those features. Large events requiring several buses at once sometimes qualify for volume discounts depending on exact logistics.

Booking is simple: call our 24/7 reservations team at 669-316-8570 or use the online form to request a quote. Provide basic trip details—date, pickup address, destination, headcount, and any must-have amenities. We’ll send you an all-in-one package option with pictures and specs of available vehicles. Review the options, choose your preferred bus, then e-sign the contract and put down a deposit to lock everything in. You’ll get driver contact info and tracking links a few days before departure. Last-minute changes can usually be accommodated if there’s still fleet bandwidth.

Standard features include reclining cloth seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, and overhead parcel shelves. Most large coaches have underfloor luggage bays sized for dozens of roller bags or instrument cases. Restrooms come standard on 40-foot models but not always on minibuses. Popular upgrades are free Wi-Fi hotspot, 110V power outlets at every row, USB charging ports, DVD player with flat-screen monitors, PA microphone for tour guides, and extra-wide seat pitch for tall travelers. ADA-accessible lifts available upon request at no additional charge.

We serve school field trips (elementary classes visiting Children’s Discovery Museum), youth sports teams (soccer clubs heading to Twin Creeks), corporate commuter shuttles for tech firms along Highway 85, wedding party transportation between hotels and reception halls, religious retreats for churches like St. Lucy Parish, senior citizen outings from retirement communities, political campaign tours during election season, and film production crew moves for location shoots around Silicon Valley. Any group needing reliable point-to-point transit will benefit from chartering.

Our coverage area includes all of Santa Clara County—Campbell, San Jose, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Milpitas—as well as adjacent regions like Palo Alto/Menlo Park (San Mateo County), Fremont/Newark/Union City (southern Alameda County), and Morgan Hill/Gilroy to the south. Long-distance charters regularly travel to San Francisco, Oakland, Monterey, Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Disneyland, and even out-of-state destinations depending on client needs. Wherever your itinerary goes, we can dispatch a bus there.

Fill out the quick form on our website with your trip details, and you’ll get an instant quote showing exactly what’s available for your dates. It lists the total price, pictures of each bus option, seating capacity, and included amenities so you can compare packages side by side. If you need help choosing or want to negotiate special terms for a recurring shuttle contract, call our office anytime—we’re happy to walk through the options and build a custom solution tailored to your budget.

Quotes cover only the base rental fee for vehicle and driver labor. Any bridge tolls (Dumbarton, San Mateo-Hayward), paid parking at venues (SAP Center loading dock, Levi’s Stadium bus lot), hotel room for overnight trips, or optional cash tip for driver are extra and should be arranged separately by the client. We’ll advise you in advance if your itinerary passes through known toll points so there are no surprises day-of. Industry-standard gratuity is 10% of total fare but not mandatory.

Match the seat count to your headcount plus a few spares for last-minute additions—small groups under 25 fit in a minibus, larger contingents need a 40–56 passenger coach. For anything longer than 90 minutes without stops, request an onboard restroom to avoid unscheduled breaks. Sports teams or bands hauling bulky gear require ample luggage space underneath. If riders expect to work or stream video en route, specify Wi-Fi and power outlets. Elderly or mobility-impaired passengers will appreciate low-step entry and priority seating near the front.
