Charter Bus Rentals Lincoln, Nebraska

The interior of a modern charter bus in Lincoln is designed for comfort and convenience on long trips. Seats are upholstered in durable fabric or vinyl, with high backs, armrests, and footrests. Aisles are wide enough for easy movement. Overhead compartments store carry-on items, while larger luggage bays below handle suitcases and equipment. Many buses feature flat-screen monitors mounted at the front or along the ceiling, individual reading lights, air vents, and window shades. Flooring is typically carpeted or made of slip-resistant material. Some models include a rear-mounted lavatory.

A standard full-size charter bus has 56 seats, but configurations can range from 47 to 60 depending on the manufacturer and interior layout. Smaller minibuses typically seat 18, 24, 28, or 35 passengers. The exact number of seats will depend on the specific vehicle you book. ADA-accessible buses may have fewer seats to accommodate wheelchair securement areas. If you need a specific seating capacity, let your reservation agent know and they’ll match you with a bus that fits your group size.

Charter buses come with a variety of amenities designed to make your trip more comfortable and convenient. Standard features include reclining seats, air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, and underfloor luggage bays. Most buses also have a PA system for announcements. Additional amenities available upon request include Wi-Fi, power outlets or USB ports at each seat, flat-screen video monitors, DVD player, and an onboard restroom. If you have specific needs—such as extra luggage space, tables for card games, or ADA accessibility—just ask!

Yes, many modern charter buses are equipped with power outlets and/or USB ports so passengers can charge their devices on the road. Outlets are typically located either at each seat row or shared between pairs of seats. Older models may not have this feature, so be sure to request a bus with power outlets if it’s important to your group. Wi-Fi is also available on most buses, allowing you to stay connected throughout the trip.

Yes, most full-size charter buses are equipped with a compact restroom located at the rear of the bus. The restroom typically includes a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and small sink. While suitable for emergencies and short trips, the facilities are not as spacious as those found in buildings. For longer journeys, it’s still advisable to make periodic stops at rest areas so passengers can use larger restrooms and the onboard unit can be serviced if needed.

Yes, one of the biggest advantages of traveling by charter bus is the ample luggage space. Full-size coaches are equipped with large undercarriage storage bays that can accommodate suitcases, equipment cases, or other bulky items. There are also overhead compartments inside the cabin for smaller bags, backpacks, or personal items. If your group is traveling with oversized equipment—such as musical instruments, sports gear, or trade show displays—let us know in advance so we can arrange a bus with extra cargo capacity.

It’s best to book your charter bus rental in Lincoln as early as possible to ensure availability, especially if your trip falls during a busy travel period such as spring break, summer vacation, or the start of the school year. We recommend booking at least three to six months in advance for large events, multi-day trips, or if you require multiple vehicles. For last-minute trips, we can often accommodate requests with a week or two’s notice, but options may be limited.

Booking a charter bus in Lincoln is easy! Just call our 24/7 reservation line and provide some basic information about your trip, including the date(s), pickup location, destination, number of passengers, and any special requests (such as Wi-Fi, DVD player, or ADA accessibility). One of our agents will prepare a personalized quote and send it to you by email or text. If you’re happy with the quote, you can sign the contract electronically and pay the deposit by credit card, ACH transfer, or check. The balance is due before the trip departs.

Your quote includes the cost of the bus, driver, fuel, and standard insurance. It does NOT include tolls, parking fees, or lodging for the driver on overnight trips. These expenses vary depending on your itinerary and are typically paid directly by the group during the trip. For example, if your bus needs to park at Pinnacle Bank Arena or Memorial Stadium, you’ll be responsible for purchasing a bus parking pass in advance. Tolls on I-80 or other highways will be collected as they occur. If your trip requires an overnight stay, you must reserve and pay for a hotel room for the driver.

Lincoln’s primary public transportation is StarTran, which operates fixed-route buses and paratransit services within city limits. However, routes and schedules are limited, especially nights and weekends. Intercity travel relies on Amtrak (via Omaha) or regional bus lines with infrequent departures. Neither option accommodates large groups, custom itineraries, or out-of-town destinations like state parks and airports. A private charter bus offers door-to-door service anywhere in Nebraska, flexible scheduling, and the ability to keep your entire group together on a single vehicle. You’ll also enjoy amenities like reclining seats, Wi-Fi, and onboard restrooms that aren’t available on local transit.
