Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Amarillo:

• Vehicle size and type: Larger buses cost more than smaller minibuses. Specialty vehicles (party buses, executive coaches) may carry a premium.
• Trip duration and distance: Longer trips and multi-day rentals increase the total cost. Local trips are billed hourly; out-of-town trips are billed by mileage.
• Time of year: Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school and sports travel, leading to higher rates.
• Itinerary details: Deadhead miles (distance traveled without passengers), tolls, and parking fees add to the total.
• Pickup and drop-off locations: Remote or hard-to-access areas may incur additional charges.
• Fuel prices: Fluctuations in fuel costs can affect the final price.

Charter Bus Rental Amarillo offers a full range of vehicles from 18-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, including several models with up to 60 seats for maximum capacity. Available makes include Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500/D4505/D4000, Setra S417/S407, Temsa TS35/TS30, and various Grech/Freightliner minibuses. Party buses, executive coaches, and ADA-accessible vehicles are also available. Many models come in multiple exterior colors (white, black, silver) and can be wrapped or decorated for your event.

Most modern charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, large undercarriage luggage bays, and a clean onboard restroom. Entertainment options typically feature flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, and a sound system with microphone. Wi-Fi and 110V power outlets (or USB ports) are standard on newer models. Additional amenities can include HDMI inputs for gaming consoles, Bluetooth audio, and PA systems for guided tours. On request, we can provide buses with leather upholstery, tray tables, forward-facing or conference-style seating, and tinted windows. Full-size coaches can tow a trailer for extra gear; minibuses offer basic A/V and optional Wi-Fi/power.

Yes, most full-size charter buses (40–60 seats) have a bathroom located at the rear of the coach. The restroom is compact but includes a toilet, hand sanitizer or small sink, and ventilation. It’s designed for emergency use between stops. Smaller minibuses (15–35 seats) generally do not have a bathroom due to space constraints. If a restroom is important, request a full-size coach or ask about scheduling regular breaks at facilities along your route. All restrooms are cleaned and serviced before each trip.

Yes, most newer charter buses have 110V power outlets and/or USB charging ports at every seat. Older models may have outlets at every other row or only in the front/rear of the cabin. If you need to power laptops, medical devices, or other electronics, let us know when booking and we’ll ensure your bus has sufficient outlets. Executive coaches and premium models offer the most connectivity.

Yes, nearly all our charter buses offer onboard Wi-Fi. The connection is suitable for email, web browsing, and streaming music or standard-definition video. Bandwidth is shared among passengers, so high-definition streaming or video calls may be limited if many people are connected. If reliable Wi-Fi is essential for your group, request a coach with upgraded cellular service. There’s typically no extra charge for basic Wi-Fi, but premium packages are available.

Yes, full-size charter buses have large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold suitcases, equipment cases, or coolers. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin are available for backpacks and smaller items. A standard 56-passenger coach can accommodate about one large suitcase plus a carry-on per person. Minibuses have limited luggage space—typically just the rear cargo area and overhead shelves. If you’re traveling with bulky items (band instruments, athletic gear), mention this when booking. Some coaches can tow a small trailer for extra storage.

Full-size charter buses seat 50 to 60 passengers, depending on the model and interior configuration. The most common size is a 56-passenger coach, but we have vehicles that seat anywhere from 48 to 61. Minibuses are available in smaller increments: 18, 20, 24, 28, 32, or 35 seats. For very large groups, multiple buses can be booked together. If you’re unsure what size you need, provide your headcount and we’ll recommend the best option.

In downtown Amarillo, you can load and unload at curbside zones near the Amarillo Civic Center Complex (401 S Buchanan St), Hodgetown Stadium (715 S Buchanan St), and the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts (500 S Buchanan St). For longer-term parking, use the Civic Center’s southeast lot or the surface lots along SE 3rd Ave between Pierce and Buchanan. At Westgate Mall, buses can stage along the perimeter road near JCPenney or Dillard’s. Major hotels off I-40 (Hilton Garden Inn, Embassy Suites) allow loading in front but require buses to park in rear or overflow lots. At medical centers (BSA, NWTHS), use patient drop-off zones for loading, then move to employee lots for staging. For school and athletic events, AISD campuses and the Amarillo National Center have designated bus lots. Call ahead to your venue for the latest policies, as construction and special events may affect availability.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, sports, and weddings, so vehicles can sell out quickly. For major events (multi-day tours, large weddings, tournament travel), reserve your bus 4 to 12 months ahead. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but selection may be limited and rates could be higher. Once you have your date and headcount, secure the reservation with a deposit. The balance is typically due 1 to 2 weeks before departure.
