Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Kailua, Hawaii

A charter bus is a private, prearranged group transportation vehicle rented for exclusive use on a schedule and itinerary set by the customer. Most modern full-size charter buses seat 40–56 passengers and are commonly used for corporate travel, school trips, sports team transportation, event shuttles, or multi-day tours. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity coaches, a charter bus operates entirely on-demand, picking up and dropping off passengers at locations specified by the client. The rental typically includes the vehicle, a driver, fuel, and onboard amenities such as reclining seats, air conditioning, luggage storage, and optional Wi-Fi or video monitors.

Last-minute rentals are possible but may be limited in choice and more expensive. Contact us as soon as you know your dates to secure your vehicle.
