Bus Rentals in Lakewood, Ohio

A charter bus is a large, comfortable vehicle rented by a group to travel together to a specific destination or on a custom itinerary. Unlike scheduled public transportation, charter buses operate on-demand for private groups such as schools, businesses, sports teams, or event attendees. They typically seat 40–56 passengers and offer amenities like reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, and luggage storage. Smaller groups can choose minibuses with similar features but fewer seats.

Charter Bus Company Lakewood offers a wide range of buses in Lakewood and across Cuyahoga County, including full-size charter buses, several sizes of minibuses, party buses, and specialty vehicles. Our fleet includes 15, 18, 20, 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 56-passenger models from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, and more. We can also provide ADA-accessible buses and vehicles with custom interiors or exterior wraps. If you need something specific, just ask—we likely have it or can get it!

Most Lakewood charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, and a PA system. Larger buses typically feature a restroom, flat-screen monitors, DVD player, 110V power outlets, and Wi-Fi. Newer models may offer USB ports at each seat, Bluetooth audio, and leather upholstery. Minibuses include many of the same amenities but usually without a restroom or video monitors. Party buses have wraparound seating, color-changing LED lighting, a sound system, and space for coolers. Specific amenities vary by vehicle, so please request what you need when booking.

Yes, all full-size charter buses and most larger minibuses have ample luggage space. Each passenger can bring one large suitcase or duffel bag to be stored in the undercarriage luggage bays, plus a smaller carry-on item for the overhead parcel rack inside the cabin. The undercarriage bays are accessible from outside the bus at each stop, while the overhead racks run along both sides of the aisle for easy access to personal items during the trip. If your group has extra baggage—such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or display materials—we can often accommodate it by assigning a larger vehicle or multiple buses. Just let us know your luggage requirements when booking so we can recommend the best option.
