Frequently Asked Questions About Upland Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a private vehicle rented by a group for exclusive use. It’s designed to transport large groups together—often used for events like weddings, conferences, field trips, or sports travel. With Upland Charter Bus Services, you’ll get a clean, comfortable motorcoach with a driver included.

Charter buses are full-size motorcoaches, typically 40–45 feet long, with sleek exteriors and tinted windows. Inside, expect cushioned reclining seats, overhead storage, and large undercarriage luggage bays. From the outside, they look just like the buses you’d see bringing a team to the Citizens Business Bank Arena or a field trip group to the Santa Ana River Trail.

They’re actually the same. “Coach bus” is the style of vehicle, while “charter bus” refers to how it’s used—rented privately by a group. Whether you're calling it a charter bus or coach bus, you’re getting the same ride for your Upland event or road trip.

Most charter buses have 40 to 56 seats, depending on the make and model. Full-size coaches are ideal for big groups heading to Riverside, Ontario, or a game at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario.

We can comfortably accommodate anywhere from 18 to 56 passengers depending on the bus you choose. Small groups might prefer a compact minibus, while larger groups can rent multiple full-size motorcoaches for big events like festivals in Upland Recreation Park.
