Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Joliet

Charter Bus Company Joliet offers a full fleet of party buses, minibuses, and full-size charter buses for rent in Joliet and Will County. Our party buses seat 10 to 50 passengers and include models built on Ford F-550, Grech Motors, and custom limo-style coaches. Minibuses are available in 15, 18, 20, 24, 28, 30, and 35-passenger configurations from top brands like Grech, Turtle Top, and Executive Coach Builders. For large groups, we offer 40-, 50-, 55-, and 56-passenger charter buses from Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, and Setra. Most vehicles are available in multiple exterior colors, including black, white, silver, and custom wraps.

Our Joliet charter buses come standard with reclining cloth or leatherette seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, and overhead parcel racks. Most mid-size and large coaches include flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth audio, and a PA system with a wired or wireless microphone. Every vehicle has 110V AC outlets and USB-A/USB-C ports at each row. Larger buses (40+ seats) feature underfloor luggage bays, and most 35+ passenger models include a rear restroom with a hand sanitizer dispenser. Wi-Fi is available on 20+ passenger vehicles, and upgraded packages offer leatherette seating, wood-look flooring, and additional video monitors.

Yes, all our full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers) have generous luggage space with both overhead parcel racks and undercarriage baggage bays. Each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase for the luggage bay and one carry-on bag for the overhead compartment. Minibuses (15–35 passengers) have overhead racks and limited rear cargo space but no undercarriage bays; these are best for groups with light luggage. Party buses have minimal storage and are not recommended for trips requiring baggage. If your group has extra luggage, sports equipment, or bulky items, let us know when booking so we can recommend a vehicle with sufficient capacity.

Yes, all our Joliet-area charter buses and minibuses are equipped with 110V AC power outlets and USB charging ports. On most vehicles, you’ll find at least one 110V outlet per pair of seats and one or two USB-A/USB-C ports per row. This allows passengers to charge phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices while on the road. Newer models may have additional USB-C ports and integrated charging stations in the seating area. If your group requires a specific number of outlets or needs outlets for medical or AV equipment, please mention this when requesting a quote so we can assign a properly equipped vehicle.

Yes, all full-size (40–56 passenger) charter buses include a restroom located at the rear of the passenger cabin. The restroom is equipped with a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and small sink or handwashing station. Minibuses (15–35 passengers) typically do not have a restroom due to space constraints. If a restroom is essential for your trip, please request a 40+ passenger coach or ask if a mid-size bus with a lavatory is available. For longer trips, the onboard restroom is convenient for quick stops, but we recommend scheduling regular breaks at facilities with full restrooms for passenger comfort.

Yes, we offer ADA-accessible buses in Joliet and throughout Will County. Several of our minibuses and full-size charter buses can be equipped with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and designated securement areas for passengers with mobility devices. These vehicles also feature slip-resistant flooring, handrails, and accessible restrooms on larger models. If you need an ADA-compliant bus, please specify this when requesting a quote so we can ensure the right vehicle is available for your trip. We recommend booking ADA-accessible buses as early as possible to guarantee availability.

Several factors influence the cost of renting a charter bus in Joliet: the size and type of vehicle, trip duration, total mileage, time of year, and any special requests or amenities. Larger buses and newer models are more expensive than smaller or older vehicles. Peak demand periods—such as spring and fall for school trips, summer for weddings and festivals, and weekends for sporting events—can drive up prices. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, driver lodging on overnight trips, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi or custom branding. Last-minute bookings may also incur higher rates due to limited availability.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2-6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and summer are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and festivals, so buses can sell out quickly. For major events or large groups, booking 6-12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute reservations are possible but may be limited to whatever vehicles are still available. If you need an ADA-accessible bus or have specific vehicle preferences, advance booking is especially important. Contact us as soon as you have your trip dates to lock in a reservation.
