Bus Rentals in Davenport, Iowa

A charter bus is a large professionally operated motorcoach rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. It typically seats 40–56 passengers, offers forward-facing cushioned seats, climate control, luggage storage, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi or restrooms, and is commonly used for events such as corporate outings, school trips, sports travel, weddings, or multi-day tours. Unlike public transit or pre-scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates exclusively for the renting party along the route they choose.

Charter Bus Company Davenport offers a full fleet of vehicles in Davenport and the Quad Cities region, including 15, 18, 20, 25, and 28-passenger minibuses; full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches; and several specialty vehicles. Our most popular minibus models include the Grech Motors GM28 and GM36, the Turtle Top VT3 and Terra Transit, and the Champion Challenger, all available in multiple configurations. For larger groups, we offer 54 and 56 seat motorcoaches from Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, and Setra S417—each built to handle long-distance and interstate trips. Many vehicles can be configured for up to 57 passengers or with deluxe/luxury seating packages. We also offer ADA-accessible coaches, party buses (15–40 passengers), and VIP/limo-style minibuses for special events.

Most modern charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, strong HVAC/climate control, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a clean onboard restroom. Standard amenities include forward-facing cloth or vinyl seats, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a clean onboard restroom. Most coaches have 1–4 flat-screen video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA microphone, and 110V power outlets at every row; many also offer onboard Wi-Fi, upgraded leatherette seating, USB ports, and optional amenities like tray tables, card tables, or beverage coolers. Premium models may include leatherette upholstery, USB ports at every seat, optional Wi-Fi, 110V outlets, and up to four flat-screen video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players. Additional amenities can include tray tables, card tables, beverage coolers, or even a second restroom on select coaches.

Yes, all full-size and most mid-size charter buses have generous luggage space. Each passenger can typically bring one large suitcase (up to 50 lbs) for the undercarriage luggage bays and one smaller carry-on or backpack for the overhead parcel shelf inside the cabin. For a 56-passenger coach, that’s up to 56 full-size bags below plus 56 carry-ons above. The underfloor luggage bays are accessed from outside the bus at curb level and can accommodate oversized items like sports gear, band equipment, or trade show cases. Overhead racks inside the cabin are ideal for smaller bags, backpacks, or personal items you want during the trip. If you have bulky items (skis, bikes, instruments), let us know—most can be accommodated, but it’s best to confirm in advance.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Many of our minibuses and full-size coaches are available in ADA-compliant configurations. Please specify your accessibility needs when requesting a quote so we can assign a suitable vehicle.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Davenport: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the distance and duration of the trip (local vs. out-of-town), the time of year (peak seasons like spring and fall are more expensive), and the day of the week (weekends cost more). Additional amenities like Wi-Fi, leather seats, or video screens can add to the price. Extra charges may apply for tolls, parking, or driver lodging on overnight trips. Large events such as concerts at the Vibrant Arena at The MARK, university games, or festivals can also impact availability and rates.

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 fall are peak seasons due to school trips, sports, and weddings, so buses can sell out quickly. For major events or busy weekends, booking 6–12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and limited in choice.
