Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Meridian, Idaho

A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together for private events, trips, or functions. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, charter buses operate on custom routes and timetables set by the group hiring the vehicle. They are commonly used for school field trips, corporate outings, sports team travel, weddings, and multi-day tours. Charter buses typically offer comfortable seating, climate control, onboard restrooms, and ample luggage space.
