Bus Rentals in Norman, Oklahoma

A charter bus is a large, comfortable vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public buses or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client’s party—such as a school, sports team, business, or wedding group—and follows a route and timetable set by the customer. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and offer amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and luggage storage.

Charter Bus Company Norman offers a wide range of buses in Norman, including 15, 20, 28, and 35-passenger minibus shuttles and full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches. We can also provide party buses (10–40 passengers), entertainer coaches (with sleeper bunks), and several specialty vehicles. Available models include Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, and Grech Motors or Turtle Top minibus bodies on Ford or Chevy chassis. Most vehicles are available in multiple exterior colors.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, up to five flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, PA system, 110V AC outlets, USB ports, onboard restroom, and optional Wi-Fi. Premium coaches may offer leatherette upholstery, forward-facing tray tables, Bluetooth audio, and custom branding. Minibuses typically have high-back cloth or vinyl seats, basic A/C, limited luggage space, and optional Wi-Fi or PA.

Yes, most full-size charter buses have generous luggage space in both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage baggage bays below the floor. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase (roller bag) for the luggage bay and one smaller carry-on item or backpack for the overhead rack. Undercarriage bays accommodate bulky items like coolers or equipment cases, but should not be used for valuables or items needed during the trip. Minibuses have only limited rear cargo space.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Norman: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size motorcoach), the total distance and duration of the trip (local vs. out-of-town or multi-day), the time of year and day of the week (peak seasons like spring and fall are more expensive), and any special amenities requested (Wi-Fi, leather seats, custom branding). Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, driver lodging on overnight trips, and deadhead mileage if the bus is coming from out of town. Large events at the University of Oklahoma, such as football games or graduation, can also impact availability and pricing.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure the best availability and pricing. Spring and fall are especially busy due to school trips, sports events, and weddings, so advance booking is crucial during these seasons. For major events like OU football games or graduation, book at least 6 months ahead. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and have limited vehicle options.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost but can vary based on the size and type of vehicle. Full payment is due 14 to 30 days before the departure date. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract.

Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any standard onboard amenities (Wi-Fi, power outlets, PA system). Not included are tolls, parking fees, driver lodging and meals on overnight trips, and optional gratuity for the driver. For example, parking passes at OU’s Gaylord Family–Oklahoma Memorial Stadium range from $20 to $50 depending on the lot. These additional expenses are the responsibility of the customer and should be budgeted separately.
