No — Clovischarterbusrentals.com is a comparison and referral website. In practical terms, that means you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of bus companies serving Clovis, rather than calling operators one at a time. You submit your trip details here, you're taken to a national booking platform that shows you available vehicles and pricing, and the transportation itself is carried out by independently owned companies serving your area.
One form, more options, faster answers.
When you search on your own, you call one company, get one price, and start over if it doesn't work. With Clovischarterbusrentals.com, you fill out one form — or make one call to 559-578-8020 — and you're immediately looking at vehicles and rates from a whole network of providers serving Clovis. More options, different price points, and no time spent chasing callbacks.
The network competes for the booking, which tends to produce better results than a single call ever does.
An independently owned transportation company serving Clovis. Once you fill out the quote form, you're taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the vehicle and the price are what you're selecting there. The transportation company assigned to carry out the booking is confirmed to you after you complete the reservation.
The platform partners with different operators serving the area, so the match depends on your specific date, route, and vehicle type.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page with your trip details — or call 559-578-8020 — and you're taken straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independent operators serving the Clovis area and shows you the vehicles available for your trip. What you're choosing on that results page is a vehicle and a price.
Once you find the one that fits, you book it directly on their website. The whole process takes just a few minutes.
Start with the basics: your pickup city, where you're going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you add — your stops, exact start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities you need — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the deal you're likely to find. A complete itinerary upfront saves back-and-forth later.
Right away — there's no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form, you go straight to the search results page and see quotes on the national booking company's website. Pricing and available vehicles are right in front of you, instantly.
If you'd rather walk through it with someone, call 559-578-8020 and a live agent will go through the options with you.
The earlier the better on a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type is worth locking in further ahead. That said, because Clovischarterbusrentals.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving Clovis rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — that's the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no. Submit the request or call 559-578-8020 even on short notice.
You won't know what's available until you ask, and the answer is often better than you'd expect.
All of those can be requested. Hourly — sometimes called as-directed — keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time, which works well when the schedule isn't fixed. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another with no return leg.
A round trip brings everyone back to where they started. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops built in, like a brewery loop or a wedding shuttle between a hotel and a venue. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day.
Which format fits depends on the trip itself. If your itinerary involves multiple stops or an overnight, lay the full route out with the request so the quote comes back timed and priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Those are planning ranges — pricing is not one size fits all, and a number of things move a quote in either direction, so the range is a starting point rather than your price. The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and get current pricing in seconds.
Or call 559-578-8020; going through the trip with someone can turn up better pricing and packages than you'd find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short run of a couple of hours is typically priced hourly. A trip that covers significant distance may carry a per-mile charge instead.
A long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Which structure applies to your trip is determined by the details you submit. Fill out the form with your actual route and timing, and the results page will show you what applies.
Six things move the number: the type and size of bus, how long it's booked for, the day of the week and time of year, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how busy that particular date is locally. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime prices lower than those same evenings.
Booking the size your group actually needs beats over-booking capacity. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock. In Clovis, the 2027 Clovis Rodeo, scheduled for April 21–25, and the 2026 Big Fresno Fair, scheduled for October 7–18, are local event dates that can pull demand across the Fresno metro market, so those dates are worth requesting early.

About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule — rather than riding a fixed public route. It's built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a standard full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. The group goes where it needs to go, on the timetable it sets, without sharing the vehicle with anyone else.
Outside, it's a full-size coach body — long, high-windowed, with luggage bay doors running along the lower panels on both sides. The exterior is typically finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, though some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the coach that shows up won't always look the same. Inside, you'll find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle.
Seat fabric is cloth or leather depending on the make and model — a Prevost H3-45 tends toward premium leather finishes, while a Motor Coach Industries J4500 or Van Hool CX45 may come in either. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin, and a restroom sits toward the rear. The windows are large and high-set, giving most seats a clear view.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead and undercarriage storage, WiFi and power outlets, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features vary by make, model, and operator, so any specific vehicle may include some or all of these — exact amenities are confirmed during booking. If certain features matter to your group, note them with your trip details when you submit the form.
That narrows which vehicles come back to the ones that actually fit what you need.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common build on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60; the Van Hool CX45 is the same — 56 standard and up to 60; the Prevost H3-45 also seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44.
What changes the count on the same coach: extra legroom configurations and wheelchair positions each take seats out of the total. Because Clovischarterbusrentals.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what's available for your date and route — submit the trip or call 559-578-8020 if your group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — that's the standard layout on a full-size coach. Seats face forward, arranged in pairs, with one aisle running straight down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, since those configurations take space from the seating area.
Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for a better forward view.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms most people can picture: roughly three cars parked end to end. That's the number worth knowing if you're working out whether one fits a particular parking area, loading zone, or venue approach.
Shorter coaches exist — most commonly around 35 feet — but the 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle you'll see on most group trips.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers generally design for 12 feet. That's a little taller than a single story of a house — useful to know if your route passes under a low bridge, a parking garage clearance bar, or a venue canopy. If you're checking clearance somewhere specific on your route, 12 feet is the number to measure against.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. Whether a given vehicle has it varies, because onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries. One thing worth knowing before the trip: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is designed for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, browsing — not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy data work simultaneously.
It keeps the group connected, but it's not a substitute for a dedicated hotspot if someone needs reliable high-bandwidth access. If WiFi matters to your group, note it with your trip details when you submit the form so the results narrow to coaches that have it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach. The honest expectation: it's there so the group doesn't have to stop, and on a long run the trip is still usually planned with real rest breaks along the way.
Features may vary by vehicle, so if an onboard restroom is a must for your group, note it with your trip details when you submit the form.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at or near every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. In practice, it means a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run without anyone running out of battery before the destination.
If power access matters to your group, note it with your trip details so the right coach gets matched to the trip.
Yes — in two places. Inside the coach, overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin. Underneath, large bay doors open to undercarriage baggage compartments that run along both sides of the coach.
A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks combined. Across a full 56-passenger load, that works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — in practice, about one checked-size bag per person in the bays below, plus one small carry-on above. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear like instruments, sports equipment, or event supplies takes the space of several standard bags.
If your group is traveling with oversized items or a heavy luggage load, state that with your trip details when you submit the form so the right coach gets matched to the group.
