Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Santa Fe, New Mexico

A charter bus is a private, pre-arranged vehicle rental with a driver, booked by a group to travel together on a custom schedule. Unlike a public bus, it runs point-to-point or on an itinerary set by the customer. Most modern full-size charter buses seat 40–56 passengers and offer reclining seats, climate control, luggage bays, onboard restrooms, and optional Wi-Fi or video screens. Smaller groups can book minibus versions seating 18–35.

Charter Bus Company Santa Fe offers a full fleet of modern buses in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and across New Mexico. Our largest vehicles are 56-passenger motorcoaches from top brands like Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, and Setra S417, ideal for big events or long-distance trips. Mid-size groups can book 28- to 35-passenger minibuses, including Grech Motors GM33/EG40 and Turtle Top VT3, which are great for local shuttles or airport transfers. We also offer smaller 15- to 25-passenger minibuses, sprinter vans, and even party buses or custom coaches with luxury interiors. Many models are available in multiple colors, including black, white, silver, and custom wraps.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, and a restroom with toilet and hand sanitizer. Entertainment options typically include flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, and a PA system with microphone. Many newer coaches offer onboard Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each seat, and Bluetooth audio. Optional upgrades may include leatherette upholstery, forward-facing tray tables, and custom branding. Minibuses generally offer similar seating and climate control, with optional Wi-Fi and PA, but may lack a restroom or large luggage bays.

Yes, all of our full-size charter buses have ample luggage space for large groups traveling in Santa Fe. Each bus is equipped with spacious undercarriage baggage bays that can accommodate large suitcases, equipment cases, or other bulky items. Additionally, there are overhead parcel racks inside the passenger cabin for smaller bags, backpacks, or personal items. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase for the luggage bay and one carry-on bag for the overhead compartment. If your group has special luggage requirements—such as musical instruments, sports equipment, or trade show materials—let us know when you book, and we’ll recommend a vehicle with the appropriate storage capacity.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Santa Fe: the type and size of the vehicle, the length and duration of the trip, the time of year, and any additional amenities requested. Larger buses and specialty vehicles generally cost more than smaller minibuses. Peak travel seasons—such as summer, holidays, and times when major events like the Santa Fe Indian Market or Fiesta de Santa Fe are happening—can also lead to higher rates due to increased demand. Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations for overnight trips.
