A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed to transport groups of people comfortably over long distances. These buses typically seat 40-56 passengers and come equipped with amenities like reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, undercarriage luggage bays, restrooms, TVs, DVD players, PA systems, WiFi, and power outlets. Charter buses are ideal for moving large groups such as sports teams, school classes, corporate employees, or tour groups to destinations like Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, or even out-of-state trips to Las Vegas or Phoenix.

A minibus is a smaller, more agile alternative to a full-size charter bus, typically seating between 18 and 35 passengers. These vehicles are perfect for shorter trips, navigating tight city streets, or transporting mid-sized groups who don’t need the capacity of a larger coach. Minibuses still offer many of the same amenities as their bigger counterparts, including comfortable seating, air conditioning, overhead storage, and optional features like WiFi and power outlets. They’re great for wedding shuttles, corporate outings, airport transfers to LAX or John Wayne, or quick trips around Anaheim and Orange County.

Charter buses generally have between 40 and 56 seats, depending on the make and model. The most common size is a 56-passenger coach, which offers the maximum capacity and luggage space for large groups. Smaller options include 47-, 50-, and 54-passenger configurations, which may sacrifice a few seats for extra legroom, additional amenities, or larger restrooms. When booking with Anaheim Minibus Company, you can specify exactly how many seats you need, and we’ll match you with a bus that fits your group perfectly.

Minibuses come in a variety of sizes, typically ranging from 18 to 35 seats. Popular configurations include 20-, 24-, 28-, and 30-passenger models, each offering a different balance of capacity and comfort. Some minibuses prioritize extra legroom or luggage space, while others maximize the number of seats for high-density shuttling. For very small groups, we also offer 15-passenger sprinter vans, which are technically classified as minibuses but offer a more compact footprint and easier maneuverability in busy areas like downtown Anaheim or the resort district near Disneyland.

Our fleet includes a wide range of vehicles to suit any group size or trip type. For large groups, we have 56-passenger charter buses from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, and MCI, all equipped with premium amenities and plenty of luggage space. Mid-sized groups can choose from 35-passenger minibuses, which offer a great balance of capacity and maneuverability. Smaller options include 25-passenger minibuses, 18-passenger executive sprinters, and 15-passenger sprinter vans—perfect for quick shuttles, airport transfers, or VIP transport. If you have specific requirements, just let us know and we’ll find the right vehicle for your needs.

Our Anaheim bus rentals come loaded with amenities designed to keep your group comfortable, connected, and entertained on the road. Standard features include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, and underfloor luggage bays. Most buses also offer free WiFi, USB charging ports, 110V power outlets, flat-screen TVs, DVD/Blu-ray players, and a PA system for announcements or guided tours. Premium coaches may include an onboard restroom, leather upholstery, footrests, tray tables, cup holders, and even a kitchenette area with a microwave, refrigerator, or coffee maker. If you have special requests—like Bluetooth audio, HDMI inputs, or extra storage—just ask!

Many of our buses are equipped with modern sound systems that support AUX, Bluetooth, or USB connections, allowing you to play your own music, podcasts, or audio content through the onboard speakers. This is a great way to set the mood for your trip, share custom playlists, or make announcements during transit. If having a specific type of audio input is important to you, please let us know when booking so we can match you with a bus that meets your requirements. We want to make sure your ride is as enjoyable and personalized as possible.

Full-size charter buses offer the most luggage capacity, with large undercarriage bays capable of holding 100+ cubic feet of baggage—enough for each passenger to bring a full-size suitcase plus carry-ons. Overhead racks inside the cabin provide additional space for smaller items like backpacks, purses, or jackets. Minibuses have less total storage, but still feature rear cargo holds or interior shelves for group luggage. If you’re traveling with oversized equipment (musical instruments, sports gear, trade show displays), please inform us in advance so we can ensure your bus has adequate space.

Yes, we are proud to offer ADA-compliant buses throughout Anaheim and Orange County. Accessible features include wheelchair lifts, securement stations, wider aisles, priority seating, and accessible restrooms on select models. We believe everyone deserves safe, comfortable transportation, regardless of mobility challenges. When booking, simply let us know your accessibility needs, and we will provide a vehicle that ensures all passengers can travel with dignity and ease. Additional accommodations—such as service animal policies or assistance boarding—can also be arranged upon request.

Absolutely! Bus wraps are a popular option for companies, schools, sports teams, or event organizers looking to showcase their brand, sponsors, or message. You can cover the entire exterior of the bus with custom graphics, logos, colors, and text, turning your vehicle into a moving billboard that attracts attention wherever it goes. Whether you’re promoting a product launch, supporting your favorite team, or creating a cohesive look for a parade or festival, a wrapped bus makes a bold statement. Ask our team about pricing, design specifications, and lead times for wrapping your charter bus.

We understand that aesthetics matter, especially for high-profile events like weddings, film productions, or branded campaigns. While our fleet includes a variety of makes, models, and colors, we cannot guarantee a specific vehicle unless it is available at the time of booking. However, we will do our best to accommodate your preferences—whether you want an all-white coach for a bridal party, a black executive bus for corporate use, or a particular manufacturer known for its luxury features. Early reservations increase the likelihood of securing the exact bus you want.
