Olathe Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus typically has between 40 and 56 seats, depending on the exact model and manufacturer. The most common configuration is 54 seats, arranged in pairs on either side of a central aisle. Some buses have slightly fewer seats to accommodate a rear bathroom or additional luggage space, while others maximize seating by eliminating the restroom. Each seat is approximately 18 inches wide with reclining backs and armrests. There are also smaller minibuses available with 18-35 seats for shorter trips or smaller groups.

A charter bus rental in Olathe can include reclining seats with footrests, WiFi, 110V/USB power outlets, flat-screen TVs with DVD/Blu-ray player, PA system, individual reading lights, climate control, rear restroom, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, window shades, and optional tray tables or seatback pockets. Premium amenities like leather upholstery or hardwood-style flooring are available on select vehicles. Charter buses are built for long-distance travel and can keep your group comfortable on trips across Kansas or out-of-state.

Yes, most modern charter buses have electrical outlets and/or USB ports for passengers to charge their devices. Outlets are typically located at each row of seats, either on the sidewall below the window or integrated into the armrest or seatback in front. They provide standard 110V power suitable for charging phones, tablets, laptops, or other small electronics. Some older buses may not have individual outlets at every seat, so if this feature is important to your group, be sure to request a bus with full power capability when booking.

Yes, most full-size charter buses have a bathroom located at the rear of the coach. The restroom is a small, enclosed space with a locking door, chemical toilet, and hand sanitizer dispenser or sink. While suitable for emergency use during travel, it’s not as spacious or fully equipped as a regular restroom, so passengers are encouraged to limit use to essential situations. For longer trips, the driver will still make scheduled stops at rest areas or gas stations for more comfortable bathroom breaks and opportunities to stretch.

Yes, charter buses have extensive luggage space in both underfloor bays and overhead racks. The exterior luggage compartments run the length of the bus on both sides and can hold large suitcases, coolers, or equipment cases. Overhead storage inside the cabin is suitable for backpacks, purses, or small bags. If your group has special storage needs—such as athletic gear, musical instruments, or presentation materials—let us know when booking so we can match you with a bus that has sufficient capacity.

The cost of renting a charter bus in Olathe varies based on the size of the vehicle, length of trip, time of year, and specific itinerary details. Smaller minibuses are less expensive than full-size coaches. Pricing is typically calculated by the hour, day, or mile. Local trips within Olathe or Johnson County may have a minimum number of hours required. Longer trips to destinations like Wichita, St. Louis, or Chicago will be quoted as a flat rate. For the most accurate pricing, call our team with your exact trip details and we’ll provide a customized quote within minutes.

You should book your Olathe charter bus as early as possible—ideally 6 to 9 months in advance—especially if your trip falls during a busy season like spring break, summer vacation, or major sporting events. Buses are in high demand for school field trips, graduations, weddings, and corporate outings, and availability becomes limited closer to the date. Last-minute bookings are possible but may have fewer options and higher prices. Once you have confirmed your travel dates and headcount, securing transportation should be one of your first priorities.

To book a charter bus in Olathe, simply call Olathe Party Bus Company at 913-489-6980 or fill out the online quote form with your trip details. Our team will ask for your pickup location, destination, departure time, return time, number of passengers, and any special requests for amenities or accessibility. Based on this information, we’ll provide you with a free, no-obligation quote for one or more available vehicles. Once you choose the option that best fits your needs and budget, you’ll sign a contract and submit a deposit to confirm the reservation. The balance is due before the date of service.

Your quote covers the base rental of the bus, driver, mileage, and standard amenities. However, it does not include additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or special permits required by certain venues. For example, if your itinerary includes a visit to Arrowhead Stadium, T-Mobile Center, or another major attraction in Kansas City, you will be responsible for paying any applicable parking charges directly to the facility. These costs vary by location and are not included in the initial quote. To avoid extra charges, discuss your full itinerary with our team so we can advise you of any potential extra fees in advance. You will also need to arrange lodging for the driver on overnight trips.

Olathe is served by RideKC, a regional public transit system offering fixed-route bus service connecting the city to Overland Park, Lenexa, downtown Kansas City, and other Johnson County communities. While affordable, RideKC schedules are limited and may not align with your group’s specific timing or destination needs. Transfers between routes can add significant travel time, and there is no direct service to many popular attractions outside the core service area. In contrast, a private charter bus provides door-to-door transportation on your own schedule, with no need to make connections or wait for the next available bus. This is especially important for large groups, school field trips, or corporate events that require reliable and efficient travel. With a charter bus, you set the itinerary and enjoy exclusive use of the vehicle for the duration of your trip.
