Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page — or call 303-835-8328 — with your trip details. As soon as you submit, you go straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independent operators serving Centennial and the surrounding area.
Right there on their website, you browse available vehicles, see pricing for your actual trip, and book the bus you want online. What you are choosing is a vehicle and a price — the whole thing takes minutes.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are in your group, and how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you give — your stops, your start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities the trip needs — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the options you find. A full itinerary submitted up front gets you the right vehicle matched to the right trip.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form, you go straight to the search results page on the booking company's website and see quotes immediately. no voicemail, no waiting until Monday morning. If you would rather walk through it with someone, call 303-835-8328 and a live agent will go through the trip with you and pull up your options on the spot.
The earlier the better on a popular date — and if you need a specific vehicle or have a large group, going further ahead keeps the most options open. That said, because Centennialcoachbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving Centennial rather than one operator with one lot, short-notice trips are often still workable. That is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no.
Submit your request or call 303-835-8328 even on short notice — it is always worth checking what is available for your date.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time and is common for events where the schedule is flexible. A one-way transfer moves your group from one place to another — a hotel to the airport, a venue to a hotel.
A round trip brings everyone back to where they started. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way, which is typical for brewery tours, pub crawls, and wedding day shuttles. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself, and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full when you submit the request so it comes back priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Pricing is not one size fits all — there are different packages and a number of things that move a quote, so those ranges are a starting point rather than your price. The fastest way to see a number for your specific trip is to fill out the form online and see pricing in seconds.
Or call 303-835-8328, where going through the trip with someone can surface better pricing and packages than you would find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance — roughly past the 100-to-200-mile mark, or heading well out of the Centennial area toward somewhere like Palisade wine country or the mountains — may carry a per-mile charge instead of a straight hourly rate.
A long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Submitting the actual trip is what determines which structure applies to your booking.
The type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all move the price. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime trips cost less than those same nights.
Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points along Arapahoe Road or Parker Road instead of five scattered addresses cuts the hours on the clock before the event even starts. On a Broncos game Sunday or a June wedding Saturday in Centennial, the whole south metro is booking at once — those are the dates where going early matters most and where the network behind Centennialcoachbuscompany.com gives you a real edge over calling one company.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip, with its own route and schedule, rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle — typically seating roughly 40 to 56 people — and the itinerary is set by the group, not a transit agency. You pick where it goes, when it leaves, and where it stops.
Outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall coach body with high windows running the full length of the vehicle and luggage bay doors along the lower skirt. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, though some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics — so the coach that shows up will not always look the same. Inside, you find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle.
Seat fabric runs cloth or leather depending on the make and model; the MCI J4500 and Prevost H3-45 are common full-size coaches with leather options. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin, and a restroom sits toward the rear. The overall impression is closer to a domestic airline cabin than to a school bus — taller, quieter, and built for a longer ride.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead and undercarriage storage, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may include any or all of these depending on the make, model, and specific vehicle — not every coach carries every option, and what a given vehicle is equipped with is confirmed during booking. If there are amenities the group needs — WiFi for a working group, power outlets for a long run — note them with the trip details so the results come back with vehicles that are built for it.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common configuration on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60; the Van Hool CX45 is the same — 56 standard and up to 60; the Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44.
What changes the count on the same coach is configuration: extra legroom or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total. Because Centennialcoachbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date. Submit the trip or call 303-835-8328 if the group needs a specific passenger capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — forward-facing, paired seating, one aisle down the middle. That is the standard layout. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, since those configurations give up a row or a seat pair.
Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for a better sight line toward the front of the cabin.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms that matter when you are figuring out whether one fits somewhere — roughly three cars parked end to end. Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and are worth knowing about for venues with tight approaches or low clearances.
The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle and what most groups picture when they book a charter bus.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design overhead clearances for 12 feet. A useful comparison for anyone checking a clearance: that is a little taller than a single story of a house. If the trip involves a parking structure, a covered venue entrance, or a mountain road with posted clearances, 12 feet is the number to measure against.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. One point worth knowing: onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a specific vehicle has it varies. The other thing worth setting expectations on — because this is where groups sometimes get surprised — is that onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach.
Phones, messaging, and browsing work well. Fifty or sixty people doing heavy work at once is a different story. If the group needs WiFi for a long run out of Centennial toward Denver International or up to the mountains, note it with the trip details so the results come back with coaches that are equipped for it.
Yes, an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach. The honest expectation: it is there so the group does not have to stop, and on a longer run — say, the haul from Centennial out to Palisade wine country or up to the mountains — the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way.
If having an onboard restroom matters for the trip, note it with the details so the right vehicle is matched to the group.
Yes, charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at every seat — some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. What that means practically: a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run, which matters on a trip from Centennial to Denver International or on a multi-day charter out of state.
Note it with the trip details if the group needs it, and the results will come back with vehicles that are equipped for it.
Yes, in two places — overhead parcel racks inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays underneath it. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks. What that translates to in practice: across a full 56-passenger load, it works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — which in real terms is about one checked-size bag each below plus one small carry-on above.
A few things change that math. A coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space. Bulky gear — ski equipment heading up to the mountains, instruments for a performance group, event supplies for a conference shuttle between Centennial and the Colorado Convention Center — takes the space of several bags and should be stated up front.
Note the luggage situation and any oversized items with the trip details so the right coach is matched to what the group is actually bringing.
Charter Bus Service in Centennial, Colorado
The network of bus companies serving Centennial handles a wide range of group trips. Airport transfers to and from Denver International Airport (DEN) are one of the most common requests — a 26-mile run that takes 35 to 55 minutes off-peak and significantly longer during rush hour on I-225. Corporate travel and employee shuttles serve offices throughout the south metro and the Denver Tech Center corridor.
Wedding and private event shuttles move guests between hotel blocks and venues across Arapahoe County. Concert and sporting event transportation runs groups to Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre, Empower Field at Mile High, and Ball Arena. School and church group trips, government and military moves, brewery and winery tours, prom, and long-distance travel to destinations across Colorado and beyond are all served through the network.
The network of transportation companies serving Centennial covers the full Denver south metro and well beyond. Nearby cities served include Aurora, Greenwood Village, Lone Tree, Parker, Littleton, Englewood, Highlands Ranch, and Denver. Those are examples, not the full coverage area.
If the city you need is not listed here, enter the full route in the quote form or call 303-835-8328 to check availability.
Prom season in April and May is one of the single busiest stretches of the year — Cherry Creek, Arapahoe, Littleton, and Douglas County school districts all schedule their proms in this window, and party buses and minibuses go fast. Graduation follows in May and June. Wedding season runs May through October, with June and September as the two peak months.
Denver Broncos home games from September through January pull demand from the entire south metro. The summer concert season at Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre — just three miles from Centennial — drives demand on show nights from May through September. The Great American Beer Festival in October at the Colorado Convention Center is one of the largest events in the state.
New Year's Eve is the highest single-demand night of the year. On any of those dates, the whole local market books early. Submit the request well ahead for those windows — and on short notice, it is still always worth submitting, because the network behind Centennialcoachbuscompany.com covers more ground than any one operator.
Planning Your Centennial, Colorado Charter Bus Trip
Yes — the primary airport served is Denver International Airport (DEN), located approximately 26 miles northeast of Centennial via E-470 or I-225 North. Off-peak, the drive runs 35 to 55 minutes; during rush hour on I-225 or I-70, plan for 60 to 90 minutes. DEN is the fourth-busiest airport in the United States and the main hub for all commercial travel in Colorado.
Centennial Airport (APA), at 7565 S. Peoria St in Englewood, is a general aviation facility about 4 miles from Centennial city center — relevant for private aviation groups needing ground transfers. For DEN, the bus meets your group outside the terminal at the ground transportation area on the arrivals level, following the airport's own commercial vehicle guidelines. Have the group assembled curbside with all luggage before calling the bus forward.
Yes — and the south Denver metro has a full slate of major venues worth knowing. Empower Field at Mile High (1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204) is home to the Denver Broncos, about 19 miles northwest of Centennial via I-25; buses drop and stage on the north side near Lot H, accessed via Federal Boulevard. Ball Arena (1000 Chopper Cir, Denver, CO 80204) hosts the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets, 18 miles northwest; buses drop on Chopper Circle.
Coors Field (2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205) hosts the Colorado Rockies, 20 miles north; buses stage along Blake Street. Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre (6350 Greenwood Plaza Blvd, Greenwood Village, CO 80111) is just three miles from Centennial — one of the closest major venues in the area. On game days and show nights, I-25 northbound traffic changes significantly; a charter bus handles the route while your group focuses on the event.
Yes — the Colorado Convention Center (700 14th St, Denver, CO 80202) is the primary large-scale convention and expo venue in the region, about 18 miles northwest of Centennial via I-25, with designated bus loading zones on the 14th Street side. The Arapahoe County Fairgrounds (25690 E. Quincy Ave, Aurora, CO 80016) is about 8 miles northeast of Centennial and hosts the annual Arapahoe County Fair in July along with large community events. Centennial Center Park (13050 E. Peakview Ave., Centennial, CO 80112) is the city's own civic event hub.
Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main guest entrance. A repeat shuttle between a hotel block and a convention venue should have the full schedule — number of runs, timing, headcount per run — laid out with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes, any wedding venue in the area. Popular venues served include Hudson Gardens & Event Center (6115 S. Santa Fe Dr, Littleton, CO 80120), a 30-acre botanical garden about 8 miles west of Centennial that fills its event parking on summer Saturdays; The Manor House (6900 S. Colorado Blvd, Littleton, CO 80122), a historic estate about 5 miles west; Spruce Mountain Ranch (9090 Spruce Mountain Rd, Larkspur, CO 80118), a 1,000-acre mountain ranch venue about 30 miles south via I-25; and the Inverness Hotel & Conference Center (200 Inverness Dr W, Englewood, CO 80112), about 3 miles west and a natural hotel-block pairing. Shuttling guests between a hotel block and the venue is the most common wedding setup, and giving the exact venue address with the request gets the right vehicle matched to the approach and the guest count.
Yes — the network serves schools and campuses throughout the area. Centennial is served by Littleton Public Schools and the Cherry Creek School District, one of the largest in Colorado, with high schools including Arapahoe High School (2201 E. Dry Creek Rd, Centennial, CO 80122) and Cherry Creek High School (9300 E. Union Ave, Greenwood Village, CO 80111). Arapahoe Community College (5900 S. Santa Fe Dr, Littleton, CO 80120) is about 8 miles west.
University of Denver (2199 S. University Blvd, Denver, CO 80208) is about 12 miles northwest. Field trips and team travel are typically pickups at the school or campus itself. Campuses have designated bus loading zones, and student trips should include the exact headcount plus any chaperone or accessibility needs with the request.
Yes — and the options around Centennial make for genuinely great group itineraries. Breckenridge Brewery (2920 Brewery Ln, Littleton, CO 80120) is about 8 miles west — a flagship Colorado craft brewery with a full campus. Lone Tree Brewing Company (8200 Park Meadows Dr #8, Lone Tree, CO 80124) is about 4 miles south.
Dry Dock Brewing Company (15120 E. Hampden Ave, Aurora, CO 80014) is about 7 miles northeast. For a bigger night out, Denver's RiNo Art District and LoDo are 18 to 20 miles northwest via I-25. For casino runs, Black Hawk and Central City — home to Ameristar, Monarch, and Isle casinos — are about 55 miles northwest via I-70 and CO-119, roughly 60 to 70 minutes off-peak.
A multi-stop brewery or casino itinerary is timed by how long the group stays at each stop — list the stops and how long at each one when you submit the request so the hours come back right.
Yes. Long-distance trips from Centennial are common, and the network handles them. Popular destinations include Colorado Springs (about 65 miles south via I-25, roughly 60 to 75 minutes off-peak), Vail and the mountain ski corridor (about 100 miles west via I-70, roughly 90 to 120 minutes off-peak), Fort Collins (about 80 miles north via I-25, roughly 75 to 90 minutes), Palisade wine country (about 240 miles west via I-70, roughly 3.5 to 4 hours), and Albuquerque, New Mexico (about 450 miles south via I-25, roughly 6 to 7 hours).
A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day charter rather than by the hour. Overnight trips need the full itinerary — departure time, destination, return date and time, and any overnight stops — laid out with the request so it comes back priced correctly for the whole run.
