Wheeling Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a large vehicle that groups can rent to travel together on a schedule they choose. It has rows of cushioned seats, big windows, and storage space above the seats and underneath for luggage. People use them for field trips, sports teams, weddings, company outings, or any event where lots of people need to go somewhere at the same time. Inside, there may be air conditioning, reading lights, and sometimes TVs or Wi-Fi depending on the bus. Unlike public buses, a charter bus goes exactly where you want without making extra stops.

We have many kinds of buses so we can help any group find the right one. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses that seat 47, 54, 55, or 56 passengers—these are best for long trips with big groups and have bathrooms on board. We also have smaller minibuses that hold 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, or 30 people for short trips around town. If you need something special, ask about party buses with lights and music, entertainer coaches for bands, or sprinter vans for small teams. Each type has different features like TV screens, power outlets, or extra luggage space.

The price depends on what kind of bus you pick, how far you’re going, and how long you need it. Small minibuses cost less than big 56-passenger coaches. Short trips inside Wheeling might be a few hundred dollars, while an all-day rental to downtown Chicago or O’Hare could be $1,200–$2,500 or more. Weekend trips to Wisconsin Dells or Notre Dame are priced by the mile or day. Get an exact quote fast by calling us with your group size, dates, and destination—we’ll tell you the total before you book.

Main things are bus size, trip length, and time of year. Bigger buses with bathrooms and TVs cost more than small shuttles. Going 10 miles across Wheeling is cheaper than a round-trip to Milwaukee or Indianapolis. Busy times like summer weekends or holidays may raise rates because lots of people are booking. Extra hours, overnight stays, or special requests (like picking up in two different towns) can add to the total. Parking fees, tolls, and driver hotel rooms (if needed) are not included—you pay those separately.

Booking is easy and only takes a few minutes. First, decide when and where your group needs to go. Call our office or fill out the online form with details like pickup address, drop-off location, date, time, and number of passengers. We’ll check availability and send you a free quote showing exactly what you get for the price. If you like it, sign the agreement and pay a deposit to reserve your bus. The rest is due before the trip. You’ll get a confirmation with all the info—and we’re here 24/7 if you have questions.

Our buses come with comfortable cloth or leather seats, strong air conditioning, and big windows for lots of light. Most have overhead racks for backpacks and large luggage bays below for suitcases or band equipment. Charter buses (not minibuses) include a restroom at the back. Other features can be flat-screen TVs, DVD player, PA system, USB ports, power outlets, and free Wi-Fi if requested. Reclining seats and footrests make long rides easier. Let us know what your group wants—like extra TV screens or space for coolers—and we’ll match you with the best option.

We help all kinds of groups get around on time. Schools book us for field trips to Brookfield Zoo or museum visits in Chicago. Sports teams from Wheeling High School or local leagues ride together to games with their gear stored below. Brides and grooms use minibuses to shuttle wedding guests between hotels and banquet halls like Chevy Chase Country Club. Businesses arrange employee transportation for corporate events or daily commutes. Church retreats, summer camps, college tours, and even bachelor/bachelorette parties rely on us for simple group travel.

We serve Wheeling and all nearby suburbs including Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect, Prospect Heights, Northbrook, Glenview, Deerfield, and Palatine. Need a ride into Chicago? No problem—we regularly send buses to Navy Pier, Soldier Field, McCormick Place, and other city spots. Going farther? We handle trips to O’Hare and Midway airports, weekend outings to Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, college visits to Northwestern or UIC, and even out-of-state charters to Wisconsin, Indiana, or Michigan. Wherever your group needs to go, we can get you there.

The fastest way is to call our main office number anytime—someone will answer 24/7. You can also use the “Get a Quote” button on our website to fill out a short form. Be ready to tell us your trip date, pickup and drop-off addresses, what time you want to leave, and how many people are coming. We’ll send you a custom price estimate usually within minutes. If you have special requests or need help planning, just ask—we’re happy to explain options and find the right bus for your budget.

Yes, all full-size charter buses (47 seats or more) include a small restroom at the rear with a toilet and hand sanitizer dispenser. It’s meant for emergencies between stops—not regular use—because there’s no running water. Minibuses and sprinter vans do not have bathrooms due to limited space. For long trips, we suggest scheduling breaks at gas stations or rest areas every few hours so everyone stays comfortable. If your group requires frequent access to a restroom, be sure to request a large coach when booking.

Absolutely! We handle multi-day charters for retreats, tournaments, band tours, and conferences. The bus will stay with your group the whole time and follow whatever schedule you set. Overnight trips require arranging a hotel room for the driver near your lodging—this cost is not included in the quote. During downtime, the driver must have at least eight hours off to comply with federal rules. Daily rates apply for each full day the bus is in use. Contact us early to block off dates during busy seasons.

If you need to cancel, call us right away. Deposits are nonrefundable but you may be able to reschedule without losing money depending on how much notice is given. Changes to itinerary like different pickup times or adding stops are usually okay if we have availability—there could be extra charges for longer distances or wait time. Last-minute cancellations less than 48 hours before departure may forfeit the entire payment. Read the terms carefully before signing so you understand the policy.

Service animals assisting passengers with disabilities are always welcome at no additional charge. Regular pets such as dogs or cats are allowed only in carriers and with prior approval from the office. Owners are responsible for cleaning up any accidents or shedding. Large animals that cannot fit under a seat may be refused. No reptiles, rodents, or exotic species permitted. Emotional support animals are treated as pets unless documented otherwise. Check with us first if you plan to bring an animal aboard.
