Charter Bus Services for Every Kind of Group

Every bus you rent here comes with its driver. Pick the kind of trip: each page covers the rules that apply to it and what to include in the request.

The trip sets the requirements

In Ontario, a bus carrying children under a school board contract needs a driver with a class B or E licence. A hockey team's bags fill the underfloor bays. A ski group heading into BC needs winter tires or chains from October 1. A corporate bus or conference shuttle runs the same loop all day, so driver hours matter. A wedding needs a late last run.

Day tours, cruise days and wheelchair users

A commercial vehicle for 11 or more people touring Banff National Park needs a park business licence and a commercial pass. Cruise transfers work to the ship's times. If a passenger uses a wheelchair, tell us when you ask for the quote. We ask operators for a suitable vehicle, and more notice gives more options.

Rules that apply

  • At Toronto Pearson, licensed limousines and charter buses may pick up only on a pre-arranged basis, with a per-trip GTAA Service Permit
  • In BC, charter buses need a passenger transportation licence with general authorization; taxis and limousines need special authorization
  • Toronto limousines need a City of Toronto limousine owner's licence, and their drivers a vehicle-for-hire licence

Most trips start at an airport

Whatever the group is doing, it usually arrives by air. The airport pickup rules below apply first.

Questions

Can one booking cover a multi-day program?

Yes. Send the whole program. Driver hours run across the days, so the operator plans them together.

Is a tour guide included?

No. You book a vehicle and a driver. If the group needs a guide, mention it and we will check whether the operator can add one.

What if my trip fits none of these?

Send it anyway. Each quote is built from your itinerary, not a package.

Can we rent a small bus for a small group?

Yes. A minibus seats 16 to 19 and a midi coach 29 to 35, each with a driver. The vehicle pages explain the sizes.
