When you call our reservation team, they’ll need your trip information in order to provide you with an accurate quote and to find a suitable bus for your trip. They will ask you about things like:

  • The total number of passengers you are traveling with
  • Where and when your passengers need to be picked up and dropped off
  • Whether you will need transportation for a single day, several days, or on a recurring schedule
  • What type of bus amenities you would like for your charter bus

Once your trip details are confirmed, they’ll provide you with a personalized, no-obligation quote. From there, you can decide to book your charter bus!

How much will my charter bus rental in Denver cost?

We personalize our charter bus rental quotes to each group’s travel needs. The cost of your charter bus rental will depend on a few things:

  • The distance you will be traveling
  • What type of bus you rent
  • When you book your rental
  • Where you start and finish your trip
  • Additional travel fees

If you are only traveling within Denver, then you will most likely be quoted by the hour. For trips spanning across multiple days, you will likely be quoted by the day or mile. The cost of each bus will depend on what size vehicle you need. A full-size charter bus rental can accommodate up to 56 passengers and is more costly to rent than a minibus rental, which can typically transport 18 to 35 people depending on size and availability.

Other factors to consider include the time of year you’re traveling and what city you begin and end in. It’s common for rates to be higher during the busy summer months from April through June, and for deadhead fees (mileage accrued while no passengers are on board the bus) to be added to your quote.

The good news is that we work with groups of all budgets to find the perfect charter bus! Our reservation specialist will work with your needs to determine what bus best suits your group and ensure your rental costs stay low.

What if I need to make changes to my reservation?

We can help! Just give us a call at 719-374-9377 and we’ll accommodate your requests. If you need to make significant changes to your itinerary or headcount, try to let us know as soon as possible. Changes like adding multiple passengers or a large amount of mileage may require booking a larger charter bus, which will change the cost of your rental. You can expect to see an additional charge for adding extra mileage and time to your trip.

What type of charter bus rental can I book in Denver?

We offer a wide variety of options! For smaller groups such as private tours, we recommend a minibus rental. Depending on the size of your group, you can choose from a 18-passenger minibus or a larger 25-passenger or 35-passenger minibus. If you have a bigger group, we also have a 56-passenger charter bus in our network, with plenty of seating space, a spacious undercarriage for luggage, and premium amenities such as onboard restrooms. We even offer ADA-compliant charter bus rentals in Denver with wheelchair lifts and wider aisleways! Just tell us what your group needs when you call us, and we can help you book the best type of charter bus.

Which amenities are available on my bus?

Depending on what bus model you are given, your Arvada charter bus rental may have amenities like cushioned and reclining seats, overhead storage space, WiFi, A/C, power outlets, TVs, a PA system, and even an onboard restroom. Just let your reservation specialist know what your group’s needs are and we’ll help you find a charter bus with the right amenities to suit your needs. 

Can we drink alcohol on the bus?

Yes. Alcohol is allowed on charter buses in Colorado, but only for passengers 21 years of age and older. Each charter bus rental comes with a bus driver, so you’ll have a built-in DD to get your group back to the hotel at the end of a long night. Just be aware that if your group leaves a mess onboard, you may be charged a cleaning fee.

Is smoking allowed?

No. Smoking of any kind is not permitted.

Can I drive the bus?

No. We do not allow you to drive a bus from our network, even if you have a CDL. Every charter bus comes with a bus driver who will handle all the driving for you, so just sit back and relax.

How often will my bus driver need to take a break?

The driver is required by law to take an 8-hour break after every 10 hours of driving or 15 hours of on-duty (non-driving) time. This is to make sure that everyone is safe. The reservation specialists here at Arvada Charter Bus Company will handle all of the scheduling for your driver, and you can work with them to build an itinerary that allows for designated driver break times.

Do I need to provide my bus driver with a hotel room?

Yes. If your charter bus rental in Denver is for a multi-day trip, you are required by law to book your bus driver a hotel room for each night they will be driving. While they are driving and navigating traffic, you and your group can relax! When booking a hotel, try to arrange a block of rooms for your group with an extra one for your driver to ensure the easiest access to lodging for everyone.

Do I need to tip my driver?

It’s not required, but we recommend you do. Your charter bus driver is committed to ensuring that your group travels safely from
