Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page with your trip details — or call 720-552-8515 — and you are taken straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with transportation providers serving Longmont and the surrounding area. Right there on their site, you browse available vehicles with photos and pricing, choose the bus that fits your group, and complete the booking online.
What you are selecting is a vehicle and a price, not a company off a list.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you give — your stops in order, your start and end times, how much luggage the group is carrying, and any amenities the group needs — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the deal you are in a position to find. More detail in means better options out.
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. You do not need an account and nothing is waiting on a person to pick up the phone.
If you would rather talk through the trip with someone, call 720-552-8515 and a live agent will go through it with you.
The earlier the better for a popular date — and a larger group or a specific vehicle type benefits from booking further ahead. That said, because Longmontcharterbusrentals.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving Longmont rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable. That is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no.
If your date is soon, submit the request or call 720-552-8515 anyway — you may have more options than you expect.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time and works well when the schedule is flexible or the group is moving between several spots. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another and ends there.
A round trip brings them back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops built in — common for brewery loops, wedding shuttles, or event nights. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one calendar day.
Which format fits depends entirely on the trip itself. For a multi-stop or overnight itinerary, lay out the full route and timing with the request so it comes back priced correctly the first time.
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 planning ranges — but pricing is not one size fits all. The type of bus, the date, how long you need it, and how busy Longmont is on that particular weekend all move the number.
The ranges give you a starting point, not your price. To see what your specific trip actually costs, fill out the form and get pricing on the booking platform in seconds — or call 720-552-8515, where going through the trip with someone can surface better packages and pricing than you would find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three structures are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly — you pay for the time the vehicle is with your group. A trip that covers significant distance — roughly past the 100- to 200-mile mark, or heading well outside the Longmont area — may carry a per-mile charge instead of a straight hourly rate.
A long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a flat day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is booked for most of the day and a day rate is cleaner for everyone. Which structure applies to your trip is determined by the actual itinerary you submit, not by a preset rule. Submit the trip and the platform prices it accordingly.
Six things move the number: the type and size of bus you need, how long it is booked for, the day of the week and time of year, how far the vehicle travels, how many stops are on the route, and how busy that date is in the Longmont market. On the other side, here is what you can actually do about it. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, and daytime trips on any day cost less than those same nights.
Booking the size the group actually needs — rather than over-booking capacity — keeps the hourly rate from climbing unnecessarily. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock before the main event even starts. In Longmont specifically, dates tied to the 2027 BOLDERBoulder on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31, summer community events, and fall graduation weekends pull demand across the whole Front Range market — booking those dates early is the single most effective way to protect your rate.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule, its own stops — rather than riding a fixed public route with other passengers. It is built to move a large group over a distance in one vehicle, keeping everyone together from the first pickup to the last drop-off. A standard full-size charter bus seats roughly 40 to 56 people.
From the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall coach body — high tinted windows running the full length of the vehicle, and a row of luggage bay doors along the bottom on both sides. 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 the same from the street. Step inside and you find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle, with fabric ranging from cloth to leather depending on the make and model.
Overhead parcel racks run the full length above the seats. Toward the rear sits an onboard restroom. Models like the MCI J4500, Van Hool CX45, and Prevost H3-45 are among the most common full-size coaches you will encounter — all three follow the same basic layout described here.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage luggage bays, WiFi, 110-volt power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system with microphone, and flat-panel TV monitors. Actual features vary by make, model, and operator — so the exact amenities on any given vehicle are confirmed during booking rather than guaranteed across the board. If specific amenities matter for your trip, note them when you submit your details, since that narrows which vehicles come back in your results.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model. Fifty-six is the most common configuration on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and can be built to 60; the Van Hool CX45 is the same, 56 standard and 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 reduce the row total, and a wheelchair position takes out additional seats to meet ADA clearance requirements. Because Longmontcharterbusrentals.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date and route — submit the trip or call 720-552-8515 if the group needs a specific passenger capacity confirmed.
A standard 56-passenger charter bus runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — four seats across, 14 rows deep. The layout is forward-facing and paired throughout, with one aisle running down the middle of the coach. Row count drops on coaches configured with extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair position, since both reduce the number of rows that fit in the same body length.
Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for a better forward view.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms the question is usually really asking — it is roughly the length of three standard cars parked end to end. That is the measurement to check against a venue's loading zone, a parking structure clearance, or a driveway approach before the bus arrives.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and are worth considering when the pickup location has a tight approach. The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle in the network.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design overhead clearances for 12 feet. The reason people ask is almost always the same — they are checking a parking garage, a covered driveway, or a venue entrance. A useful comparison: a full-size coach is a little taller than a single story of a house.
If the pickup or drop-off location has a covered approach, check the posted clearance against 12 feet before the bus arrives.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches currently on the road are equipped with it. One thing worth understanding before the trip: onboard WiFi is a piece of equipment a coach is built with, not something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make and model. The other thing worth setting honestly as an expectation — onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach.
Phones, messaging, and general browsing work fine. A full coach of 50 or 56 people doing video calls or heavy downloads at once will exceed what the connection is built to handle. If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details when you submit — that narrows the results to coaches equipped with it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach. The honest expectation to set: it is there so the group does not have to stop, and on a long run the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops at service areas or rest stops along the route.
The restroom handles the gaps between those stops rather than replacing them. Note it with your trip details if an onboard restroom is important for your group, since features may vary by vehicle.
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 and is confirmed during booking. In practical terms for your group: phones and laptops can stay charged across a long run from Longmont to Denver, Colorado Springs, or further — nobody arrives with a dead battery.
If the group needs outlets, note it with the trip details so the right vehicle comes back.
Yes, in two places — overhead parcel racks inside the coach and undercarriage baggage bays underneath it. 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 means for your group: across a full 56-passenger load, that works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet per person overhead.
In practice, that is about one checked-size bag per person in the bays below and one small carry-on above — enough for most trips. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some underfloor bay space to accommodate the lift mechanism. Bulky gear — instruments, sports equipment, camping supplies, or large event materials — takes the space of several standard bags and should be stated explicitly.
Note the luggage situation and any oversized items with the trip details when you submit, so the right coach is matched to the group rather than discovered to be short on space at pickup.

Planning Your Longmont, Colorado Charter Bus Trip
Yes — the network serves all major airports accessible from Longmont. Denver International Airport (DEN) is the primary hub southeast of Longmont along I-25 and E-470. Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (BJC) in Broomfield is another nearby option.
For groups flying in, the coach meets everyone outside the terminal at the designated area that airport uses for buses and larger commercial vehicles. At DEN, charter buses pick up from Jeppesen Terminal, Level 5, following the airport's ground transportation guidelines. Have the group together with luggage before calling the bus forward — that is the step that keeps the pickup clean at any busy airport.

Folsom Field (2400 Colorado Ave, Boulder) hosts University of Colorado Buffaloes football, and game-day traffic on US-36 and Broadway backs up well before kickoff — build extra time into the departure.
