Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Friendswood, Texas

A charter bus is a large, full-size motorcoach rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public buses or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates exclusively for the hiring party—such as schools, businesses, sports teams, or event planners—offering flexible routing, pickup, and drop-off. Modern charter buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and feature amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and luggage storage.

Charter Bus Company Friendswood offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Friendswood and the Greater Houston area, with vehicles that can accommodate anywhere from 15 to 56 passengers.

We also offer several different models of each bus type, so you can choose the exact vehicle that best fits your group’s size and needs.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, PA system, flat-screen video monitors, DVD player, Wi-Fi, 110V/USB power outlets, and a restroom. Optional upgrades may include leatherette upholstery, forward-facing or executive seating, tray tables, and additional video screens. Mini-coaches typically offer similar seating and climate control, with limited luggage space and optional Wi-Fi/power. Exact amenities vary by vehicle size, model, and year—ask your agent for specifics.

Yes! Full-size charter buses (40–56 seats) have generous luggage space: large undercarriage bays for suitcases/duffel bags and overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for carry-on items. The general guideline is one full-size bag per person below plus a carry-on above. Mini-coaches (24–39 seats) offer smaller rear luggage compartments and overhead racks—suitable for one medium bag below and a carry-on above per passenger. For groups with extra luggage (band gear, athletic equipment, trade show materials), notify your agent in advance; we can recommend a larger coach or add a trailer. Please note that oversized items (skis, bikes, AV cases) may require special handling or advance approval.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible charter buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms upon request. Just let us know your accessibility needs when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure your bus meets all ADA requirements.
