Most modern buses include reclining seats, climate control, luggage bays, overhead racks, free Wi-Fi, 110V/USB power outlets, PA system, and flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray. Larger coaches (35–56 passengers) often have a restroom, individual reading lights, and optional leather upholstery. Premium models add HDMI inputs, Bluetooth audio, USB-C charging, and custom seating layouts. Minibuses (15–30 passengers) offer similar amenities but typically without a restroom. All vehicles are cleaned and sanitized before each trip, and special requests—like coolers, tables, or branded headrest covers—can be accommodated.

Yes, most full-size (35–56 passenger) charter buses have a restroom located at the rear of the coach. It’s a compact, single-occupant facility with a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and small sink or wipe station. The restroom is designed for emergency use between stops rather than extended use. Minibuses (15–30 passengers) typically do not have a restroom due to space constraints. If a restroom is essential, request a full-size coach when booking. For longer trips, drivers can schedule regular breaks at rest areas or service plazas with full facilities.

Most modern charter buses are equipped with 110V power outlets and USB ports at each seating row. Larger coaches (35–56 passengers) typically have one or two outlets per row, either between the seats or on the side panels. Many newer models also include USB-A and USB-C ports for charging phones, tablets, and laptops. Minibuses (15–30 passengers) usually have at least a few outlets toward the front and rear of the cabin. If your group needs to power multiple devices or requires specific outlet types, ask about the exact configuration when booking. Some premium coaches offer integrated charging stations with both AC and USB ports at every seat.

Yes, most modern charter buses offer onboard Wi-Fi. The connection is suitable for email, web browsing, and streaming music or standard-definition video. Bandwidth may be limited when many passengers connect simultaneously. If your group requires high-speed internet for video calls or large downloads, mention this when booking so we can assign a coach with upgraded Wi-Fi.

Yes, full-size charter buses (35–56 passengers) have spacious undercarriage luggage bays that can handle large suitcases, equipment cases, or bulky items. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin are available for carry-on bags, backpacks, and smaller items. Minibuses (15–30 passengers) offer limited luggage space—typically just the overhead racks and a small rear cargo area. If your group has extra luggage, sports gear, or large items, inform the booking agent to ensure adequate storage. For oversized equipment, some coaches can tow a cargo trailer or have seats removed to create additional space.

Minibuses seat 15–35, standard coach buses hold up to 56, and we have options for any group size, including multiple-bus rentals for very large groups.

Popular locations include school campuses (Niles North, Niles West), Old Orchard Mall, Skokie Sports Park, CTA Yellow Line stations, and major hotel lots. We can advise on specific locations based on your itinerary.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sports events, so buses can sell out quickly. For major events or large groups, booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be limited in vehicle selection and subject to higher rates.
