Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this site with your trip details — or call 719-662-7900 — and you are taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company works with a network of independently owned transportation companies serving Colorado Springs and the surrounding area. On their site, you browse available vehicles, see pricing for your specific trip, and book the bus you want directly online.
What you are choosing there is a vehicle and a price, and the whole thing takes minutes.
Start with the basics: your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are in your group, and roughly how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you add — your specific stops, start and end times, any luggage or oversized gear, and amenities the group needs — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the vehicle match you will find. A complete itinerary upfront saves time and gets you the right bus faster.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form, you go straight to the search results page on the national booking platform and see vehicles and pricing for your trip immediately. If you would rather talk through the details with someone, call 719-662-7900 and a live agent can walk you through your options and help put together a package that works for your group.
Earlier is always better for a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type goes further ahead. That said, because Coloradospringscharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of transportation companies serving Colorado Springs rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — you are comparing availability across multiple providers at once instead of being told no by a single company. Submit the request or call 719-662-7900 even on short notice; the results page will show what is available for your date right away.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time — great for events where the schedule is flexible or the group wants the bus standing by. A one-way transfer moves your group from one place to another.
A round trip brings them back to the start. A multi-stop itinerary runs a planned route with several stops in sequence, like a brewery loop through Old Colorado City and downtown. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a group run to Denver or a casino trip to Cripple Creek.
Which format fits depends on the trip itself — and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full with your request so it comes back 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 the planning ranges — your actual price depends on the type and size of bus, your date, how long you need it, and the specifics of your route. Pricing is not one size fits all, and there are different packages that move the number in either direction.
The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and see pricing on the results page in seconds. Or call 719-662-7900 — going through the trip with someone can surface packages and options you would not find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly. A trip that covers significant distance — roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark, or heading well out of the Colorado Springs area, like a run to Denver or a long-haul to another state — may carry a per-mile charge instead.
And 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 most of the day. Submitting your actual trip details is what determines which structure applies to your booking.
Several things move the number: the type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the day of the week and the date, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is across the Colorado Springs market. Peak dates — Air Force Academy graduation in late May, Pikes Peak International Hill Climb weekend in late June, the Colorado Balloon Classic over Labor Day, and prom season across District 11, D-20, and D-12 in April and May — pull from the same pool of available vehicles all at once, so those dates price higher and book earlier.
Here is what the reader can actually do about it: Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, and daytime trips price lower than those same evenings. Booking the bus size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity. And consolidating pickups into one or two points instead of five separate stops keeps the hours on the clock shorter.
Fill out the form to see pricing for your actual trip in seconds, or call 719-662-7900 to talk through what fits your budget.
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, its own pickup and drop-off points — rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a standard full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 passengers.
From the outside, a charter bus is a full-size coach body with high tinted windows running the length of both sides and large luggage bay doors along the lower skirt. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color — though some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the vehicle that shows up will not always look identical to a photo. Popular makes include the MCI J4500 and the Prevost H3-45, both long and low-profile with the undercarriage bays clearly visible along the sides.
Inside, seats run in pairs on either side of a center aisle, all forward-facing. Fabric is cloth or leather depending on the make and model. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin on both sides.
Toward the rear you will find an onboard restroom. The cabin is climate-controlled, and the windows are fixed — it is a quiet, enclosed coach rather than an open-air vehicle.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage luggage bays, WiFi, 110-volt power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system, and TV monitors. Amenities may include any combination of those depending on the make, model, and operator — features vary by vehicle and are confirmed during booking. If specific amenities matter for your group, note them with your trip details when you submit the form; that narrows which vehicles come back in your results.
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, up to 60.
The Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach is the configuration: extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total.
Because Coloradospringscharterbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date — submit the trip or call 719-662-7900 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 — four seats across per row. All seats are forward-facing, paired, with one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches configured with extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair position, and some coaches tier the front rows slightly for a better sightline.
Those configurations vary by vehicle.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. If you are working out whether one fits somewhere, the easiest reference is roughly three cars parked end to end — that is the footprint a 45-foot coach needs. Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and those are used when the route or the venue calls for a more compact vehicle.
The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size build you will see most often.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design overhead clearances for 12 feet. If you are checking whether a coach fits under a parking structure or a venue entrance, the honest answer is: plan for 12 feet. A useful comparison — a full-size coach is a little taller than the first floor of a standard house.
That is the clearance question that comes up most often for groups heading to venues with covered drop-off lanes or low-clearance garages in downtown Colorado Springs.
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 — onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so it is confirmed during booking rather than assumed. 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, and browsing — not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy data work simultaneously.
If WiFi matters for your group, note it with your trip details when you submit the form so vehicles with that equipment come back in your results.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, located toward the rear of the coach. It is there so a group does not have to make an unplanned stop, and on a long run the trip is still usually planned with real rest breaks along the way. Restroom availability may vary by vehicle, so note it with your trip details if it is a must-have for your group — that way the right coach gets matched to your booking.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at 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, a coach with outlets at every seat means a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — useful on a trip from Colorado Springs to Denver or out to a multi-day event.
Note it with your trip details if the group needs it, and that narrows which vehicles come back in your results.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays run along the lower skirt of the vehicle underneath it. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks.
Translated into what that actually means for your group: across a full 56-passenger load, it works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead. In practice, that is about one checked-size bag per person in the bays below plus one small carry-on in the overhead rack — similar to what you would bring on a domestic flight.
A few things change that math. A coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space. Bulky gear — instruments, sports equipment, camping supplies, event materials — takes the equivalent of several bags per item.
If your group is traveling with oversized gear or an unusually large amount of luggage, state that with the trip details when you submit the form so the right coach gets matched to your booking.

A handful of dates take the whole Colorado Springs market early every year.

The Colorado Balloon Classic over Labor Day weekend brings 100,000-plus attendees to Memorial Park. Prom season across District 11, D-20, D-12, and D-49 runs through April and May, and every school district is competing for the same vehicles on the same weekends.

Planning Your Colorado Springs, Colorado Charter Bus Trip
Coloradospringscharterbuscompany.com helps you find airport transportation to and from both airports serving the Colorado Springs area. Colorado Springs Airport (COS) (7770 Milton E. Proby Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80916) is roughly 8 miles southeast of downtown — about 15 to 20 minutes off-peak — and is the closest option for most groups. Denver International Airport (DEN) (8500 Peña Blvd, Denver, CO 80249) is approximately 70 miles north via I-25, roughly 70 to 90 minutes off-peak and 90 to 120-plus minutes when I-25 is running heavy.
DEN is the major hub for the region and the right call for most international and high-frequency connections.
For both airports, the coach meets your group outside the terminal at the designated area for buses and larger commercial vehicles, following that airport's own ground transportation guidelines. Have your group assembled with all luggage before calling the bus forward — that keeps the pickup clean and on schedule.
Coloradospringscharterbuscompany.com helps you find sporting event transportation to every major venue in and around Colorado Springs. Weidner Field (1040 Pikes Peak Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903) is home to the Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC in the USL Championship, with a capacity around 8,000 and limited street parking on match days along Pikes Peak Ave and Nevada Ave — a bus drops at the stadium perimeter and stages nearby. UCHealth Park (4385 Tutt Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80922) hosts the Rocky Mountain Vibes (MiLB), with large surface lots on the east side of the city.
Air Force Falcon Stadium (2169 Field House Rd, USAF Academy, CO 80840) holds huge numbers of fans for Falcons football, but access requires compliance with USAF Academy security checkpoint procedures at the base gates — plan extra time for entry on game days. Traffic patterns around all three venues shift significantly on event days, so build in a buffer.
Coloradospringscharterbuscompany.com helps you find group transportation to every major meeting and event venue in Colorado Springs. The Colorado Springs Convention Center (375 S Tejon St, Colorado Springs, CO 80903) is downtown, attached to the Antlers Hotel, with bus drop-off along Tejon St or Costilla St and street staging nearby. Pikes Peak Center for the Performing Arts (190 S Cascade Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903) hosts Broadway touring shows and concerts downtown, with bus access on Cascade Ave or Costilla St. The Broadmoor (1 Lake Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80906) handles large corporate retreats, galas, and conferences, with group arrivals coordinated through the resort's main entrance drive.
Large venues like these have designated loading areas separate from the main public entrance — a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a venue should have its full schedule laid out with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. Colorado Springs and the surrounding mountains are home to some genuinely stunning properties: The Broadmoor for a luxury lakeside setting, Garden of the Gods Club & Resort (3320 Mesa Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80904) with views straight to the red rock formations, Pinery at the Hill (775 W Cheyenne Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80906), Hillside Gardens (1415 Randolph St, Colorado Springs, CO 80904), Cheyenne Mountain Resort (3225 Broadmoor Valley Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80906), and Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site (3105 Gateway Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80904) at the base of Garden of the Gods.
