Charter Bus Rentals in Mentor

A charter bus is a large, professionally operated motorcoach that is rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public buses or scheduled intercity coaches, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the client, making it ideal for group travel to events, tours, or multi-day trips. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and offer amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and luggage bays.

Charter Bus Company Mentor offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Mentor and Lake County, ranging from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size charter buses. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech Motors, Turtle Top, and Champion. We can also provide party buses (15–40 passengers), entertainer coaches (with sleeper bunks), and ADA-accessible vehicles. Most models are available in multiple colors (black, white, silver) and can be custom-wrapped for larger events.

Our Mentor charter buses come standard with reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, and large luggage bays. Most mid- and full-size coaches include flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, PA systems, Wi-Fi (4G/5G), USB/power outlets at every row, and an onboard restroom. Premium models offer leatherette upholstery, forward-facing or conference-style seating, tray tables, and optional video streaming. Minibuses (20–35 passengers) include many of the same amenities but may not have a restroom or full undercarriage storage.

Yes, all our Mentor charter buses have ample luggage space. Full-size motorcoaches (40–56 passengers) feature large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold one full-size suitcase per passenger, plus carry-on items. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin are perfect for backpacks, briefcases, or smaller bags. For most trips, each passenger can bring one large bag for the luggage bay and one carry-on for the overhead rack. Minibuses (20–35 passengers) have smaller rear cargo areas and overhead racks but can still accommodate groups with moderate luggage. If you’re traveling with bulky items—like sports equipment, musical instruments, or trade show materials—let us know in advance so we can assign a vehicle with sufficient storage.

Several factors affect the cost of renting a charter bus in Mentor: the type and size of the vehicle, the distance and duration of the trip, the time of year, and any additional amenities or special requests. Larger buses and luxury models cost more than smaller or standard vehicles. Peak travel seasons—such as spring and fall for school trips, or summer for weddings and sports events—can also drive up prices due to higher demand. Additional costs may include tolls, parking, and driver accommodations for overnight trips. Major events in Cleveland, like Browns, Guardians, or Cavaliers games, as well as concerts and festivals, can impact availability and pricing.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally at least 3–6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and fall are especially busy due to school trips, sports seasons, and weddings, so advance booking is critical during these times. For major events or peak-season travel, booking 6–12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be limited in vehicle selection and subject to higher rates. If you’re traveling during a less busy time of year, 1–2 months’ notice may be sufficient. However, larger groups and special events should always book as early as possible to ensure availability and get the best rates.

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 may vary depending on the size of the vehicle and the specifics of your trip. Full payment is due 14–30 days before the departure date. We accept all major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract, and our team will send reminders as the due date approaches. If you book less than 30 days before departure, full payment may be required upfront.

Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any tolls or mileage fees. Additional expenses such as parking, lodging, and meals for the driver are not included and are the responsibility of the group. For example, parking passes at Progressive Field or Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse can range from $25 to $50 per vehicle. Be sure to review your contract for a detailed breakdown of what is and isn’t included in the price. If you have any questions about specific fees or charges, our team is happy to clarify before you sign.
