Bus Rentals in La Crosse, Wisconsin

A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike public transit or pre-set tours, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, wedding party, or other organization—offering direct, door-to-door service. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and are equipped with comfortable reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and video monitors.

Charter Bus Company La Crosse offers a full range of buses in La Crosse from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, including several vehicles that can accommodate up to 60 passengers. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (J4500, D45 CRT LE), Setra (S417), Temsa, and Grech Motors. We can also provide party buses, sprinter vans, and VIP/executive coaches with custom seating layouts. Many larger buses can be configured for 50, 52, 54, or 55 passengers, and some models offer 3-3 seating for even higher capacity.

Most modern full-size buses include reclining cloth or leatherette seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, and generous luggage space. Standard amenities include overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and up to five video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray inputs. Many coaches offer free Wi-Fi (4G/5G), 110V power outlets at every row, USB charging ports, and a full-size restroom mid-cabin. Optional upgrades include PA systems, wireless microphones, Bluetooth audio, flat-screen TVs, and forward-facing monitors. Premium coaches may have leather seats, wood-look flooring, LED accent lighting, and seating for up to 60 passengers. Minibuses typically offer forward-facing seats, strong A/C, and basic luggage storage, with optional Wi-Fi and power outlets.

Yes, all our La Crosse charter buses have ample luggage space. Full-size coaches offer both overhead parcel racks for carry-on items and large undercarriage luggage bays for larger bags. The general guideline is one full-size suitcase per passenger in the luggage bays plus one carry-on or backpack in the overhead compartment. This is ideal for airport transfers, multi-day trips, or groups traveling with equipment. If your group has extra luggage—such as musical instruments, sports gear, or trade show materials—let your reservation specialist know so we can recommend a vehicle with sufficient capacity.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy travel season (spring and fall are peak times due to school and sports schedules). In La Crosse, major events like UW-La Crosse graduation, Oktoberfest, and large sports tournaments can also impact availability. Last-minute bookings are possible, but your vehicle options may be limited and rates could be higher. For summer trips, or any travel requiring multiple buses or specialty vehicles, booking six to twelve months ahead is recommended.
