Aurora Charter Bus Rental FAQs
About Busrentalaurora.com
Busrentalaurora.com is an advertising and quote comparison website that lets you compare bus rental options and pricing from a network of bus companies serving Aurora through a national booking company. Fill out one quick form and you are looking at vehicles, amenities, and real trip-specific pricing in seconds — No waiting for callbacks to get pricing, no calling five companies, no account required. Busrentalaurora.com is an advertising and referral website and does not own or operate any vehicles. It exists to make finding the right bus faster and easier than doing it on your own.
No — Busrentalaurora.com is a comparison and referral website. In practical terms, that means you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving Aurora, rather than calling around yourself. The transportation is carried out by those independent companies. Busrentalaurora.com is the tool that puts your request in front of them and brings the results back to you in one place, quickly.
You fill out one form — or make one call to 720-343-3545 — and you are looking at vehicles and pricing from a whole network of providers serving Aurora instead of whatever a single company happens to have available. That means more options, more price points, and a faster answer than calling operators one at a time and waiting on callbacks. The time you would spend on five phone calls goes into picking the bus that fits your trip.
An independently owned transportation company serving Aurora. Once you fill out the quote form, you are taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a price, not a company from a list.
The transportation company assigned to your booking is confirmed to you after the booking is complete.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page — or call 720-343-3545 — and you are taken straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independently owned operators serving Aurora, and right there on their site you can see vehicles, pricing, and photos and book the one that works for your trip. What you are choosing on that results page is a vehicle and a price.
The whole thing takes minutes.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and roughly how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you can add — your stops, start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities that matter — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the options you will find. A complete request gets a complete answer.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form you are taken directly to the search results page on the booking company's website, where pricing and vehicles are already loaded for your trip. If you would rather go through it with someone, call 720-343-3545 and a live agent will pull up your options on the spot.
Earlier is better when the date is popular or the group is large, and a specific vehicle type — a particular size or a party bus with a full bar — goes faster than a standard coach. That said, because Busrentalaurora.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving Aurora rather than a single operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable. That is the real advantage of comparing a network: one company telling you no does not mean no.
Submit the request or call 720-343-3545 even on short notice — it is always worth checking.
All of those can be requested. Hourly keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time and works well when the itinerary is flexible or the group wants to move between stops on its own schedule. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another.
A round trip brings them back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several pickup or drop-off points built in. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day — a ski weekend to Breckenridge, a conference that runs Thursday through Saturday, a group heading to the mountains and back.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself, and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full when you submit the request so it comes back priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Pricing is not one size fits all — the type of bus, the date, the distance, and the number of stops all move a quote, so those ranges are a starting point rather than your price. The fastest way to see a number for your specific trip is to fill out the form and see pricing on the results page in seconds.
Or call 720-343-3545 — going through the trip with someone can turn up better pricing and packages than you would find searching on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three structures are used. A short run of a couple of hours — a game-day shuttle from Aurora to Empower Field at Mile High (1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204) and back, for example — is usually priced hourly. A trip that covers long distance, roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark or heading well out of the area, may carry a per-mile charge instead.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hourly charges, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Submitting the actual trip is what determines which structure applies.
What moves the price: the type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and the day of the week, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime prices lower than those same evenings.
Booking the size the group actually needs — rather than over-booking capacity — keeps the quote from climbing unnecessarily. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of spreading them across five addresses cuts the hours on the clock before anyone is even on the bus.
In Aurora specifically, dates that overlap with Denver Broncos home games at Empower Field at Mile High, ski-season Fridays when I-70 westbound fills toward Breckenridge and Vail, and prom weekends across Aurora Public Schools and Cherry Creek School District all tighten the local market. Booking those dates further out is the most reliable way to hold a good rate.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule, its own stops — rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and it seats roughly 40 to 56 people depending on the make and model.
Outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, long coach body with high windows running the length of both sides and a row of luggage bay doors along the underside. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, and some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics — so the coach that shows up will not always look the same. Popular models include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45, all of which share the same general profile.
Inside, you find forward-facing seats in pairs on either side of a center aisle. Seat fabric is cloth or leather depending on the make and model. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin.
Toward the rear sits an onboard restroom. The interior is climate-controlled and, on most modern coaches, noticeably quieter than you might expect from the outside.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, an onboard restroom, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system with wireless microphone, and flat-panel TV monitors. Features vary by make, model, and the specific vehicle — so use "may include" as your benchmark rather than assuming any one coach is equipped with all of them. If a particular amenity matters for your trip, note it when you submit your request and the results will reflect which vehicles carry it.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common configuration on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60. The Van Hool CX45 is the same — 56 standard, up to 60.
The Prevost H3-45 also seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach: extra legroom configurations and wheelchair positions each take seats out of the total.
Because Busrentalaurora.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date and route. Submit the trip or call 720-343-3545 if the group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle. The layout is forward-facing and paired all the way back — one aisle down the middle, seats in pairs on either side. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, and some coaches tier the front rows slightly for sightlines.
Those are the figures for a standard full-size build.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. If that is hard to picture, roughly three cars parked end to end gets you close. Shorter coaches exist — most commonly around 35 feet — but the 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle.
If you are working out whether a bus fits a specific location, those are the figures to use.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design most structures for 12 feet of clearance. A useful comparison: a little taller than a single story of a house. If you are checking clearance at a venue, a parking structure, or anywhere the bus needs to pass under something, 12 feet is the number to confirm against.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. One point worth understanding before the trip: onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies. And the connection itself runs off a cellular signal — it is built for light use across a full coach, phones, messaging, and browsing, not for 50 or 60 people running heavy video calls or large file transfers at the same time.
If the group needs WiFi, note it when you submit your request and the results will show which vehicles carry it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach and is there so a group does not have to stop, though on a long run the itinerary is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way. If the restroom matters for your trip — a long haul to the ski resorts on I-70, for example — note it with your request so the right vehicle is matched to the group.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. In practical terms, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — a ski trip to Breckenridge, a conference shuttle that runs all day — without hunting for an outlet.
Note it with your trip details if the group needs it.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin inside the coach. Undercarriage baggage bays run along the bottom of the coach outside, accessed through bay doors on both sides.
The numbers: a full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks. Across a full 56-passenger load, that works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — in practice, about one checked-size bag each in the bays below plus one small carry-on above. That is the baseline for a group traveling with normal luggage.
What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space. Bulky gear — ski equipment for a Breckenridge weekend, instruments, sports bags for a team, event supplies — takes the space of several standard bags and should be stated with the trip details. If the group is carrying anything oversized, note it when you submit the request so the right coach is matched to what you are actually bringing.
Charter Bus Service in Aurora, Colorado
Any group with a trip to take. The most common ones through Busrentalaurora.com's network include:
Airport transfers — moving a group to or from Denver International Airport (DEN) (8500 Peña Blvd, Denver, CO 80249) without splitting everyone into separate cars. Corporate travel and employee shuttles — conference transfers, recurring office routes, and team moves between campuses like UC Anschutz Medical Campus (13001 E 17th Pl, Aurora, CO 80045). Weddings and private events — shuttling guests between hotel blocks and venues across Aurora and the surrounding area.
Concerts and sporting events — game-day shuttles to Empower Field at Mile High and Ball Arena, and concert nights at Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre. School and church group trips — field trips, team travel, and retreat transportation. Government and military moves — personnel transfers and group logistics.
Brewery and winery tours — loops through Aurora's craft beer scene and the RiNo District. Prom and homecoming — for Aurora Public Schools and Cherry Creek School District students. And long-distance travel — ski trips to Breckenridge and Vail, runs to Colorado Springs, and multi-day trips well beyond the state.
Busrentalaurora.com connects you to a network of transportation companies serving Aurora and the entire surrounding region — Denver, Centennial, Englewood, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Northglenn, Parker, Castle Rock, Littleton, Greenwood Village, and beyond across Arapahoe, Adams, Douglas, Jefferson, and Denver counties. Those are examples, not the complete coverage area. If your route starts or ends somewhere not listed, enter the full trip or call 720-343-3545 to check availability.
A few dates tighten the entire Aurora and Denver metro market fast. Denver Broncos home Sundays at Empower Field at Mile High — eight to nine dates from September through January — pull demand across the region all at once. Ski-season Fridays and Saturdays from late November through March, especially the week between Christmas and New Year's and Presidents' Day weekend, are among the highest-demand stretches of the year for Aurora groups heading to Breckenridge and Vail on I-70.
Prom season across Aurora Public Schools and Cherry Creek School District runs late April and May and is the single busiest stretch for party buses and minibuses locally. National Western Stock Show in Denver (mid-January, approximately 16 days) tightens the whole metro. Graduation season in May and mid-December adds pressure across CCA, UC Anschutz, and the Denver-area universities.
And New Year's Eve books out earlier than most people expect.
On those dates, the smart move is to book well ahead. Short-notice requests on busy dates are still worth submitting — the network is larger than any one operator — but earlier booking gets you more vehicles at better prices.
Planning Your Aurora, Colorado Charter Bus Trip
Yes — and the primary airport for Aurora groups is Denver International Airport (DEN), approximately 23 miles from central Aurora via E-470 or Peña Boulevard — roughly 25 to 35 minutes off-peak. DEN is one of the busiest airports in the country, and the designated charter bus and commercial vehicle pickup zone is on Level 5 of the Jeppesen Terminal, outside baggage claim, in the commercial vehicle curb lane. The bus stages nearby and pulls to the curb once your group is assembled and ready — so gather everyone and all luggage before calling the bus forward.
Centennial Airport (APA) (7565 S Peoria St, Englewood, CO 80112) is approximately 14 miles south of Aurora — roughly 20 to 30 minutes — and serves corporate and private aviation groups. For either airport, the coach meets your group at the designated bus zone following that airport's own guidelines.
Yes — and the major venues are all within a straightforward drive from Aurora. Empower Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Broncos, is approximately 18 miles west — roughly 25 to 35 minutes. Charter bus drop-off runs on Bryant Street or Federal Boulevard, and the Broncos publish designated bus and oversized vehicle parking in Lot 1 on the west side of the stadium — advance purchase required, with lots opening five hours before kickoff.
Ball Arena (1000 Chopper Circle, Denver, CO 80204), home of the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche, is also approximately 18 miles away; charter bus drop-off runs on Chopper Circle. Dick's Sporting Goods Park (6000 Victory Way, Commerce City, CO 80022), home of the Colorado Rapids, is approximately 20 miles north — roughly 30 to 40 minutes. And Coors Field (2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205), home of the Colorado Rockies, sits about 18 miles away in LoDo.
On game days, I-225 and I-25 move slower than usual — build extra time into the pickup window, and the bus handles the traffic while your group is already together.
Yes — the full range. Colorado Convention Center (700 14th St, Denver, CO 80202) is approximately 17 miles from Aurora — roughly 25 to 35 minutes. Charter bus drop-off runs on 14th Street at the main entrance, and repeat shuttle routes between a downtown hotel block and the convention center should have the full schedule laid out with the request so the timing and pricing come back correctly.
Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center (6700 N Gaylord Rockies Blvd, Aurora, CO 80019) is right in the Aurora corridor near DEN — approximately 10 miles east of central Aurora — and is the largest hotel convention center in Colorado; shuttle routes between the Gaylord and DEN are among the most common requests in the area. National Western Complex (4655 Humboldt St, Denver, CO 80216) hosts the National Western Stock Show each January and has designated bus and oversized vehicle staging on Humboldt Street and Brighton Boulevard. Large venues like these have designated bus loading areas separate from the main guest entrance — a detail worth confirming when the trip is booked.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. Aurora and the surrounding region have a wide range of venues, from industrial-chic spaces like The Hangar at Stanley Marketplace (2501 Dallas St, Aurora, CO 80010) to the rustic setting at Piney Creek Stable (6400 S Telluride St, Aurora, CO 80016) in southeast Aurora. Groups heading further out often book Chatfield Farms (8500 W Deer Creek Canyon Rd, Littleton, CO 80128), approximately 25 miles from Aurora, or mountain-area venues in the Vail corridor, roughly 110 miles west on I-70.
The most common wedding transportation setup is a shuttle loop between the hotel block and the venue — guests board together, nobody worries about parking or directions, and the return trip is already handled. Giving the exact venue address with your request gets the right vehicle matched to the route.
Yes — the full range of Aurora-area schools. Aurora Public Schools includes major high schools like Overland High School (12400 E Jewell Ave, Aurora, CO 80012), Rangeview High School (17599 E Iliff Ave, Aurora, CO 80013), Smoky Hill High School (16100 E Smoky Hill Rd, Aurora, CO 80015), Eaglecrest High School (5100 S Picadilly St, Aurora, CO 80015), and Gateway High School (1300 S Sable Blvd, Aurora, CO 80012). Cherry Creek School District serves portions of Aurora and Centennial.
At the college level, Community College of Aurora (16000 E CentreTech Pkwy, Aurora, CO 80011) and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus both generate regular group transportation needs. Field trips and team travel are usually pickups at the school or campus itself, campuses have designated bus loading zones, and student trips should include the exact headcount plus any chaperone or accessibility needs with the request.
Yes — and Aurora sits within easy reach of a great loop. Dry Dock Brewing Company (15120 E Hampden Ave, Aurora, CO 80014) is Aurora's own flagship craft brewery and an easy first stop. From there, the RiNo Art District in Denver — approximately 25 to 30 minutes via I-225 — packs in Great Divide Brewing (2201 Arapahoe St, Denver, CO 80205), River North Brewery, and a dense stretch of cocktail bars and live music venues.
Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey (200 S Kalamath St, Denver, CO 80223) rounds out a distillery stop, roughly 30 to 35 minutes from Aurora. For casino nights, Black Hawk — home to Monarch Casino (488 Main St, Black Hawk, CO 80422), Ameristar Casino (111 Richman St, Black Hawk, CO 80422), and others — is approximately 60 to 70 miles west via I-70, roughly 75 to 90 minutes. A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group stays at each stop, so listing the stops and how long at each one when you submit the request gets the hours right.
Yes. Aurora groups regularly travel long-distance, and the most common destinations are well within reach. Breckenridge is approximately 90 miles west via I-70 — roughly 1.5 to 2 hours off-peak, though ski-season Fridays on I-70 westbound can add an hour or more.
Vail is approximately 110 miles west — roughly 1.5 to 2 hours. Colorado Springs is approximately 70 miles south via I-25 — roughly 1 to 1.5 hours. Rocky Mountain National Park via Estes Park is approximately 80 miles north — roughly 1.5 to 2 hours.
Further out, Salt Lake City is approximately 525 miles west — roughly 7 to 8 hours — and Las Vegas is approximately 750 miles southwest, roughly 10 to 11 hours. A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day package rather than by the hour, and an overnight trip needs the full itinerary laid out with the request — including where the group is staying — so it comes back priced and planned correctly. Call 720-343-3545 or submit the full route online and see what is available.
