An independently owned transportation company serving Apple Valley.

Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this website with your trip details — or call 442-327-1265 if you would rather go through it with someone. Either way, you are taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company works with a network of independent operators serving Apple Valley and the surrounding area.
Right there on their website, you choose the vehicle and the price that fit your group, and you book it directly online. What you are selecting is a vehicle and a price — the whole thing takes just minutes.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are in the group, and how many hours you need the bus. That gets you a quote. The more detail you add — your stops along the way, your start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities the group needs — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the options you can find.
A complete itinerary almost always returns a better result than a rough one.
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 company's website and see quotes immediately. No phone tag, no sitting around.
If you would rather go through it with someone, call 442-327-1265 and a live agent can walk through the trip with you and pull up options on the spot.
The earlier the better for a popular date, and a specific vehicle or a large group should go further ahead. That said, because Busrentalapplevalley.com puts your request in front of a whole network of transportation companies serving the Apple Valley area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — that is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no. Submit the request or call 442-327-1265 even on short notice.
The results page will show you what is available for your date, and you may be surprised.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a block of time and is great when the itinerary has flexibility. A one-way transfer moves the group from one point to another — say, Apple Valley to Ontario International Airport (ONT) or to a venue in Los Angeles.
A round trip brings everyone back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops, which is perfect for a winery loop through Temecula or a night out hitting multiple spots. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a Las Vegas overnight or a run to Mammoth Lakes.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself. A multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full when you submit the 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 planning ranges, not your price — pricing is not one size fits all, and a number of things move a quote up or down. The range is a starting point.
To see pricing for your actual trip, fill out the form online and results come back in seconds, or call 442-327-1265. Going through the details with someone on the phone can turn up better pricing and packages than you would find navigating it alone.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours — say, Apple Valley to a concert in Los Angeles and back — is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance, roughly past the 100–200 mile mark or heading well out of the High Desert, 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. Submitting your actual trip details is what determines which structure applies. Never guess — the results page shows you exactly how your trip is priced.
The type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and the day of the week, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all move the price. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime prices lower than those same nights.
Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity on a larger coach. Grouping riders into one or two pickup points in Apple Valley instead of five scattered stops cuts the hours on the clock and brings the total down. High Desert dates like the San Bernardino County Fair in Victorville and prom weekends at Apple Valley High School and Granite Hills High School pull the whole local market at once — those dates book early and price accordingly.
The more accurately your trip details match the real itinerary, the more the results page can work in your favor.
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 is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. The group boards together, travels together, and arrives together.
Outside, a full-size charter bus is a large coach body — high windows running the length of both sides, luggage bay doors along the bottom half of the coach. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, and some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the coach that shows up may not always look the same. Inside, you will find forward-facing seats in pairs on either side of a center aisle.
Seat fabric may be cloth or leather depending on the make and model — coaches like the MCI J4500 and the Prevost H3-45 are common on the road and carry well-appointed interiors. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin, and a restroom sits toward the rear.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead and undercarriage storage, WiFi, power outlets, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features vary by make, model, and operator, so any specific vehicle's amenities are confirmed during booking. If there are amenities that matter to the group — WiFi, charging ports, extra luggage space for a trip through the Cajon Pass to Las Vegas — note them with the trip details, since that narrows which vehicles come back in the 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 and up to 60.
The Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. Extra legroom configurations or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the count on the same coach.
Because Busrentalapplevalley.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date and route — submit the trip or call 442-327-1265 if the group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle. The layout is straightforward — forward-facing, paired seating, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, and some coaches tier the front rows slightly for a better view forward.
On a standard full-size build, 14 rows is the number.
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 is the reason people ask: they are working out whether one fits somewhere, whether a parking lot, a venue entrance, or a mountain road like CA-18 heading up to Big Bear.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and the 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design for 12 feet. A little taller than a single story of a house is the comparison that helps most people picture it. That clearance question matters in Apple Valley when a group is heading somewhere with a parking structure or a venue with a covered entrance — a 45-foot coach at 12 feet will not fit under a standard residential garage door, but it moves through standard highway underpasses without issue.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. Onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator. One thing worth knowing before the trip: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, browsing — not for fifty or sixty people doing heavy work at once.
In the High Desert, cellular signal on I-15 through the Cajon Pass and on US-395 can also vary. If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details so the results narrow to coaches that carry it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach. On a long run from Apple Valley to Las Vegas or down to Anaheim, it means the group does not have to stop every hour — though a trip that length is still usually planned with a real rest stop or two.
Note it with the trip details if an onboard restroom matters to the group, since that confirms the right coach is matched to the 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 practical terms it means a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — useful on a 190-mile trip to Las Vegas or a three-hour corporate charter down to Los Angeles.
Note it with the trip details if the group needs it, and the results will narrow to vehicles that have it.
Yes — in two places. Inside the coach, overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin. Underneath the coach, undercarriage baggage bays run along the bottom of the vehicle.
A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks. 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 below the coach and one small carry-on above. A few things change that number.
A coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some of the baggage bay. Bulky gear — instruments, sports equipment for a team trip, event supplies for a corporate function — takes the space of several standard bags. On a trip from Apple Valley to a ski weekend at Mammoth Lakes or Big Bear, ski bags and boot bags stack up fast.
State the luggage situation and any oversized items with the trip details so the right coach gets matched to the group from the start.
