Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rentals in Boulder

Boulder Coach Bus Service offers one of the largest, most diverse fleets in Boulder and across Colorado. You can book a minibus (15–35 passengers) built by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, or LGE Coachworks—great for shuttles between CU Boulder and Pearl Street. For bigger groups, our full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers) from MCI, Van Hool, and Prevost have under-floor luggage bays, restrooms, and reclining seats—perfect for ski trips to Eldora or multi-day tours to Rocky Mountain National Park. We also offer party buses (10–50 passengers) with wraparound seating, hardwood floors, and optional dance poles, plus sprinter vans (10–15 passengers) and classic school buses. Every vehicle is modern, comfortable, and packed with amenities to make your ride comfortable and convenient.

Boulder bus rental prices depend on several factors: vehicle size, trip length, mileage, and time of year. Minibuses start at $150–$450 per hour, while full-size charter buses range from $145–$550+ per hour. Daily rates are $1,520–$5,000+ for larger coaches, and party buses run $180–$520+ per hour depending on capacity and features. Sprinter vans average $160–$450+ per hour. The best way to get an exact quote is to call our team at 720-743-7390 with your headcount, itinerary, and must-have amenities—we’ll build a custom package in less than a minute.

Every quote includes exclusive use of the vehicle for your scheduled hours, standard onboard amenities (WiFi, power outlets, A/C, TVs), and all mileage between pickup and drop-off points. You’ll never share the bus with another group. Optional upgrades like premium sound systems, coolers, or extra luggage space can be added for an additional fee. Tolls, parking, and hotel rooms for long-distance trips are not included. There are NO hidden fees—what you see is what you pay. If you have special requests (ADA access, bike racks, catering), let us know when you book so we can accommodate them.

Booking a bus with Boulder Coach Bus Service is fast and easy. Just call 720-743-7390 or fill out our online form with your trip details: date, time, passenger count, and destinations. Our reservation specialists will match you with the perfect vehicle and send a personalized quote in seconds. Review the pricing, ask any questions, and confirm your reservation. We recommend booking at least 3–6 months in advance for peak seasons (graduations, ski trips, summer festivals), but we can often accommodate last-minute requests thanks to our large fleet and flexible scheduling.

Our fleet is loaded with amenities to keep your group comfortable and entertained. Standard features include high-back reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, and free WiFi. Most vehicles have USB ports or power outlets at every row so you can charge devices en route to Denver International Airport or Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Larger coaches offer flat-screen TVs, DVD players, PA systems, and onboard restrooms. Party buses add LED lighting, Bluetooth sound systems, and space to dance. If you need something specific—like extra luggage racks for camping gear or ADA lifts—just ask when you book.

We provide transportation for every type of event and group in Boulder County: corporate shuttles to tech campuses in Gunbarrel, wedding guest transfers to Chautauqua Park, CU Boulder athletics charters, field trips to the Museum of Natural History, ski weekends in Nederland, brewery tours along the Front Range, concert runs to Folsom Field, and more. We also handle long-distance trips to Aspen, Vail, or Colorado Springs. No job is too big or too small—whether you need a daily commuter shuttle or a one-time party bus for a birthday, we’ve got you covered.

Absolutely! We regularly send buses on multi-day itineraries across Colorado and beyond. Popular routes include Boulder to Glenwood Springs, Steamboat Springs, or even out-of-state destinations like Moab, Utah. For overnight trips, you’ll need to provide lodging. Multi-day packages are priced based on total mileage, days, and any special requirements (like trailer hitches for ski equipment). These longer journeys are a great way to keep your group together and avoid the hassle of carpooling through mountain passes.

Coach bus parking in Boulder is limited downtown, but there are options near major venues and highways. For events at CU Boulder, use designated lots at Folsom Field or the Events Center—advance permits may be required. Pearl Street Mall has drop-off zones on Canyon Boulevard, but buses should stage elsewhere during the event. Larger vehicles can park at East Boulder Community Center, Valmont City Park, or along 30th Street south of Arapahoe. Always check with your destination about oversized vehicle policies, especially in residential areas or trailheads like Chautauqua. Our team can help plan logistics based on your exact itinerary.

Yes, we have a huge selection of party buses in Boulder ranging from 10 to 50 passengers. These are perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, prom nights, or just a fun night out on the town. Features include wraparound seating, hardwood floors, color-changing LED lights, powerful sound systems with Bluetooth connectivity, and optional dance poles. Some models have wet bar areas with coolers for drinks. You can customize the playlist, bring your own refreshments, and enjoy a mobile nightclub experience while cruising between bars on Pearl Street or heading to a Red Rocks concert. Party buses are available in multiple sizes and layouts to fit your group’s vibe.

Minibuses are smaller vehicles that seat 15 to 35 passengers, ideal for short-distance shuttles, airport transfers, or moving small groups around Boulder. They’re easier to maneuver on narrow streets and can access areas where full-size coaches can’t go. Amenities include cushioned seats, A/C, WiFi, and overhead racks, but no restroom. Charter buses are full-size coaches holding 40 to 56 passengers with under-floor luggage bays, onboard restrooms, reclining seats, multiple TVs, and more space overall. They’re built for long-distance comfort—perfect for ski trips, band tours, or moving an entire wedding party in one vehicle. Both options are comfortable and modern, but the right choice depends on your headcount and itinerary.

It’s best to book your bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months before your event, especially during peak seasons like CU Boulder graduation (May), ski season (December–March), or summer festival months. This gives you the widest selection of vehicles and the most competitive rates. Last-minute bookings are possible thanks to our large fleet, but availability may be limited and prices can be higher. If you’re planning a major event or need multiple buses, lock in your reservation as soon as dates are set. For recurring corporate shuttles or school contracts, we can schedule service months or even years in advance.

Getting a quote is quick and easy—just call our team at 720-743-7390 or fill out the online form with your trip details (date, time, pickup/drop-off locations, passenger count, and any special requests). We’ll send you a personalized quote in under 30 seconds with all-inclusive pricing and a breakdown of features. Quotes are free and carry no obligation until you’re ready to book. If you have questions or want to compare different vehicle types, our staff is happy to walk you through the options and find the best fit for your group and budget.
