A charter bus (also called a motorcoach) is a large vehicle designed to transport 40-56 passengers comfortably over long distances. These full-size buses are perfect for moving big groups of people together, keeping everyone on the same schedule and eliminating the need for carpooling or public transit. Charter buses come equipped with amenities like cushioned seats, climate control, restrooms, overhead storage, and undercarriage luggage bays. Some models even feature WiFi, power outlets, TVs, DVD players, and PA systems. They’re ideal for school trips, corporate events, weddings, sports teams, and any occasion where you need to move a lot of people efficiently.

A minibus is a smaller, more compact version of a charter bus that typically seats between 15 and 35 passengers. These vehicles are great for short-distance travel, shuttle services, and navigating tight city streets where larger buses might have trouble. Despite their smaller size, minibuses still offer many of the same amenities as full-size coaches, including comfortable seating, air conditioning, and onboard entertainment options. They’re perfect for airport transfers, hotel shuttles, corporate outings, and small group tours around Oklahoma City.

Charter buses generally seat anywhere from 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model. The most common sizes are 47, 50, and 56 seats.
