Bus Rentals in Lansing, Michigan

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 entirely at the direction of the group that hires it, making it ideal for events like corporate outings, school trips, sports team travel, weddings, or multi-day excursions. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and include amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and entertainment systems.

Charter Bus Company Lansing offers a wide range of buses in Lansing, including 15-, 18-, 20-, 25-, 28- and 35-passenger minibuses; 40-, 45-, 50- and 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches; several models of party buses that seat 10–40 people; and school buses that hold 44–48 adults. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, and Champion. Many vehicles are available in multiple colors—including black, white, silver, and custom wraps—and we can provide ADA-accessible coaches with advance notice.

Most Lansing charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a PA system. Larger coaches (40+ passengers) typically have 4–6 flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, 110V/USB outlets at every row, and a restroom mid-cabin. Many newer models offer onboard Wi-Fi, Bluetooth audio, and HDMI inputs for laptops or gaming consoles. Minibuses (20–35 passengers) have similar seating and climate control but may lack a restroom or full AV system. Premium coaches can add leatherette upholstery, LED accent lighting, and optional beverage stations.

Yes, all Lansing charter buses have dedicated luggage space. Full-size motorcoaches (40–56 passengers) feature large undercarriage bays that can hold one full-size suitcase per person, plus smaller items. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin are ideal for carry-on bags, backpacks, or briefcases. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one large bag for the luggage bay and one smaller bag for the overhead rack. Minibuses (20–35 passengers) have limited rear cargo space and overhead racks but no underfloor bays; they’re best for groups with light luggage. If you have bulky items—like sports equipment, band instruments, or trade show materials—let us know in advance so we can recommend a vehicle with adequate storage.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Lansing can provide ADA-accessible buses in Lansing and across the region. Many of our newer full-size motorcoaches (40–56 passengers) are available with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and designated securement areas in the main cabin. Several minibus models (20–35 passengers) also offer ADA options with rear or side lifts. We recommend requesting an ADA-accessible vehicle as early as possible—ideally at least 7–10 days before your trip—so we can guarantee availability and assign a coach that meets all accessibility requirements. Just tell your reservation specialist what you need when you call.
