Charter Bus Rentals St. Louis

A charter bus rental in St. Louis means booking a private bus for exclusive use by your group, with custom pickup and drop-off points anywhere in the city or region. The bus stays with your group for the entire trip—whether that’s a single day to the Gateway Arch, multiple days of brewery tours, or shuttling wedding guests between venues in Forest Park. You set the schedule, itinerary, and pace so everyone rides together on one vehicle. Charter buses are not public transit—they’re reserved just for your team, students, fans, or friends, with no strangers onboard.

Our fleet includes every major bus type and size so we can match any group’s headcount and budget. Full-size charter buses seat 40 to 56 passengers with reclining seats, high-capacity luggage bays, onboard restrooms, and strong Wi-Fi—perfect for moving large groups from downtown hotels to Enterprise Center or Union Station. Minibuses hold 15 to 35 people and are ideal for shorter trips, airport transfers, or navigating tight streets in neighborhoods like The Hill or Soulard. We also have party buses (10–50 passengers) with perimeter seating, lighting, and sound systems for nights out, plus sprinter vans (10–15 passengers) and school buses for affordable local moves.

Bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, trip length, and time of year, but most quotes fall within these ranges: Full-size charter buses—$145–$550+ per hour or $1,520–$5,000+ per day; minibus rentals—$150–$450+ per hour or $1,520–$3,465+ per day; party buses—$180–$520+ per hour depending on weekday or weekend; sprinter vans—$160–$450+ per hour; and school buses—$155–$395+ per hour. All rates include driver pay, mileage, fuel, and standard amenities. Call 618-744-2740 anytime for an instant quote tailored to your exact itinerary and passenger count.

Several variables determine your final price: total trip mileage (longer journeys cost more), duration (multi-day rentals incur higher fees), vehicle type (larger buses with premium features are pricier), and timing (peak demand during Cardinals season or graduations may raise rates). Additional costs like parking permits at Busch Stadium, hotel rooms for drivers on overnight trips, or special requests such as branded wraps or extra luggage trailers will be itemized separately. Last-minute bookings sometimes carry a surcharge, while repeat customers or off-peak travel may qualify for discounts.

Booking a bus is simple: First, gather your trip details—headcount, pickup/drop-off addresses, dates, and preferred amenities. Next, call our reservations team at 618-744-2740 or fill out the online form to receive a personalized quote within minutes. Review the options, choose the best fit for your group, and confirm the reservation. You’ll get a contract outlining all services and contact info for support. We handle everything from dispatching the vehicle to coordinating arrival times so you can focus on your event.

Charter buses come equipped with comfortable reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, and overhead storage racks for backpacks or small bags. Most vehicles feature free onboard Wi-Fi, power outlets or USB charging ports at every row, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, and a PA system for announcements. Restrooms are standard on full-size coaches. Optional upgrades include hardwood-style flooring, leather upholstery, fold-down tray tables, cup holders, and extra-large undercarriage luggage compartments for sports equipment or band gear.

We provide transportation for corporate outings (conferences at America’s Center, client dinners on Laclede’s Landing), school field trips (museums, zoo, college tours), sports teams (youth leagues, fan buses to away games), weddings (ceremony-to-reception shuttles), church retreats, volunteer projects, and festival crowds. Popular destinations include Forest Park attractions, brewery crawls in Midtown, concerts at Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, and day trips to Six Flags or wineries along the Missouri River. No group is too big or small—we’ve moved everything from parade floats to marching bands.

We serve all of St. Louis City and County plus surrounding regions including St. Charles, Chesterfield, Clayton, Maryland Heights, Florissant, Hazelwood, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, and University City. Regular routes extend to Columbia (Mizzou), Springfield, Kansas City, Cape Girardeau, Jefferson City, and Illinois suburbs like Edwardsville or Belleville. If your group needs to travel anywhere within Missouri or across state lines, we can dispatch a bus there—single-day round trips or extended tours spanning multiple cities.

Start with an accurate headcount—always round up to ensure enough seats. For groups over 40 people, book a full-size charter bus so everyone rides together and there’s ample luggage space. Smaller parties of 15 to 30 can use a minibus, which costs less and maneuvers easily through urban streets. Think about trip distance: Longer journeys benefit from restrooms and reclining seats, while short hops may only need basic comfort. Request specific amenities like Wi-Fi or AV equipment if your passengers plan to work or be entertained en route.
