Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the quick form on this page — or call 385-298-0284 — with your pickup location, destination, date, group size, and timing. You are taken straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website, where that company's network of operators serving the Orem area is represented. Right there, you see vehicles, photos, and pricing.
What you are choosing is a vehicle and a price. Book it directly on their site, and you are done — all in minutes.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That gets you a quote. The more detail you add — your stops, start and end times, any luggage or oversized gear, and the amenities your group needs — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the match you will find for the 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 national booking platform and see pricing for your actual trip. no next-business-day response. If you would rather walk through the trip with someone, call 385-298-0284 and a live agent will go through the options with you.
The earlier the better for a popular date — and if you need a specific vehicle or have a large group, earlier still. That said, because Oremcharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Orem area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable. Do not assume it is too late without checking.
Submit the request or call 385-298-0284 even if the date is close — the network has more coverage than any single company, and availability surprises people.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time and is the most flexible format. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another with no return leg.
A round trip brings everyone back to the starting point. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way — a brewery loop through Salt Lake City, for example, or a shuttle circuit between a hotel and a venue in Provo. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a Las Vegas run or a national parks excursion to Moab or Zion.
Which format fits depends on the trip itself. If your itinerary has multiple stops or runs overnight, lay the full route out with the request so it comes back priced correctly from the start.
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. Those are real planning ranges — your actual price moves based on the date, the vehicle, the distance, the number of stops, and how busy that weekend is in Utah County. BYU football Saturdays at LaVell Edwards Stadium, prom season across Alpine School District, and graduation weekends at Utah Valley University all push demand and pricing up.
The range is a starting point, not your price. Fill out the form and see pricing for your actual trip in seconds — or call 385-298-0284, where going through the details with someone can turn up packages and options you would not find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours — say, a shuttle between an Orem hotel and a reception at Sleepy Ridge Golf Club (2429 W 1200 N, Orem, UT 84057) — is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs well past the 100 to 200-mile mark, like a run down to Las Vegas or out to Moab, may carry a per-mile charge instead of stacked hours.
A long day that runs eight hours or more often comes back as a day rate, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day that a flat daily price makes more sense than counting hours. Submitting the actual trip — the route, the timing, the stops — is what determines which structure applies to your booking.
The type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the day of the week, the date, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all move the number. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime trips price lower than those same nights.
Booking the size the group actually needs — rather than over-booking capacity — keeps the cost where it belongs. Grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock and brings the quote down. In Orem specifically, the dates that tighten the market fastest are BYU home football Saturdays at LaVell Edwards Stadium, prom and homecoming weekends across Orem and Provo high schools, UVU and BYU graduation weekends, and the Stadium of Fire on the Fourth of July.
On those dates, the whole Utah County market moves early. Book ahead on any of them, and submit the full trip details so the quote reflects your actual route rather than a generic estimate.
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 to move a large group over a distance in one vehicle, comfortably and on the group's own timetable. A full-size charter bus seats roughly 40 to 56 passengers.
On the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, wide coach body with high windows running the length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the bottom skirt. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color — and some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the vehicle that shows up will not always look the same. On the inside, you will find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle.
Seat fabric is cloth or leather depending on the make and model — a Prevost H3-45 typically runs leather, while an MCI J4500 or Van Hool CX45 may be either. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin. A restroom sits toward the rear.
The cabin is tall enough to stand in the aisle comfortably, and the windows are large enough that passengers on both sides have a clear view — useful on a run through Provo Canyon toward Sundance or up I-15 with the Wasatch Range in the distance.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, an onboard restroom, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system with microphone, and flat-panel TV monitors. Features may include any combination of those depending on the make, model, and operator — the exact amenities on a given vehicle are confirmed during booking. If there are specific amenities your group needs — WiFi for a corporate run up to Salt Lake City, or extra baggage space for a ski trip to Park City — note them with the trip details so the right vehicles come back in the results.
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, 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 the configuration: extra legroom between rows takes seats out, and a wheelchair-accessible position takes one or two more.
Because Oremcharterbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date and route — so submit the trip or call 385-298-0284 if the group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — four seats across per row, forward facing, one aisle down the middle. That is the standard layout on a full-size coach. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair-accessible position, and some coaches step or tier the front rows slightly for a better sightline down the aisle.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms most people can picture: roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the measurement that matters when a group is working out whether a bus fits a venue's loading area or a mountain resort's access road — a consideration worth thinking through if the trip is heading up Provo Canyon toward Sundance Mountain Resort (8841 N Alpine Loop Rd, Sundance, UT 84604), where the upper resort road is narrower than the main canyon highway.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and they are the better call for tighter access points. The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design clearance for 12 feet. The reason most people ask is that they are checking a parking structure or an underpass — and the honest answer is that a full-size coach does not fit most parking garages. It is a little taller than a single story of a house.
If the trip involves a venue with a covered entry or a structure with a posted clearance, that is worth flagging when you submit the trip details.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. It is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator. One thing worth setting the expectation on honestly: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, and browsing — not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy data work at once.
For a corporate run between Orem and Salt Lake City where the team wants to stay connected, it works well for that. If WiFi matters to the group, note it with the trip details so vehicles equipped with it come back in the results.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, located toward the rear of the coach. It is there so the group does not have to stop, and on a longer run — say, a trip down to Las Vegas or out to Moab — the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way. Features may include the restroom on any given vehicle, so if it is a must-have for the group, note it with the trip details when you submit.
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. It is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. In practical terms, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — useful on a multi-hour trip to Las Vegas or a ski charter up to Park City.
If the group needs outlets, note it with the trip details so the right vehicles come back.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays run along the bottom of the coach underneath it. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks.
Across a full 56-passenger load, that works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — in practice, about one checked-size bag per person in the bays below plus one small carry-on above. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear takes the space of several bags. A group heading to a ski weekend at Deer Valley or Sundance with boots, helmets, and equipment bags will fill the bays faster than a group heading to a BYU game with day bags.
A group bringing instruments, sports gear, or event supplies should state it with the trip details — that is how the right coach gets matched to the group from the start.
Charter Bus Service in Orem, Utah
The network serves all of them. Airport transfers to and from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) are one of the most common requests — it is a 40-to-55-minute run up I-15 and a straightforward shuttle for any size group. Corporate travel and employee shuttles move teams between Orem offices, Salt Lake City meetings, and conference facilities like the Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo.
Weddings and private events are a constant, with shuttle runs between hotel blocks and venues across Utah County. Concert and sporting event groups head to Delta Center in Salt Lake City for Jazz and Hockey Club games, and to LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo for BYU football. School and church group trips, government and military moves, winery and distillery tours up to High West Distillery in Park City, prom, and long-distance travel to Las Vegas, Moab, and beyond are all in the network's regular work.
The network serves Orem and the surrounding area, including Provo, Lindon, Pleasant Grove, American Fork, Lehi, Springville, Mapleton, Spanish Fork, Payson, Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, Draper, and Sandy, among others. Those are examples — not the complete list. The network also handles runs north to Salt Lake City and Ogden, east into Provo Canyon and Park City, and south through Utah County.

BYU home football Saturdays at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo run September through November and are the single largest recurring demand driver in Utah County — book those dates at least four to six months out. UVU and BYU graduation weekends in April, May, and December pull the whole local market at once. Prom and homecoming season across Alpine School District and Provo City School District schools runs March through May and fills party buses and minibuses fast.
The Stadium of Fire on the Fourth of July regularly sells out the stadium's 62,073-seat capacity and takes the market with it. The Sundance Film Festival in January sends demand toward Park City and puts pressure on Wasatch Front buses. New Year's Eve for Salt Lake City events and Thanksgiving Point's Luminaria in November and December are also consistently busy.
On any of those dates, the whole local network gets taken early. Submit the request well ahead on peak dates — and on short-notice dates, still submit it, because the network covers more than any one operator can.
Planning Your Orem, Utah Charter Bus Trip
The primary airport serving Orem is Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) (3920 W Terminal Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84122), approximately 45 miles north via I-15, with a drive time of 40 to 55 minutes off-peak and longer during the morning and evening commute windows on the Point of the Mountain stretch. SLC is a full hub airport with direct service across the country. Provo Municipal Airport (PVU) (1331 S Sky Way, Provo, UT 84601) is roughly 8 miles south of Orem — about 12 to 18 minutes via University Avenue — and is served by Allegiant, Breeze Airways, and American Airlines.
For the great majority of Orem travelers, SLC is the airport. The coach meets the group outside the terminal at the spot SLC designates for buses and larger commercial vehicles, following the airport's own ground transportation guidelines. State the airport, the terminal if known, and the flight time when you submit the request so the timing comes back right.
The network serves all of them. LaVell Edwards Stadium (1700 N Canyon Rd, Provo, UT 84604) is the biggest game-day draw in Utah County, home of BYU Cougars football with a capacity of 62,073. Bus staging and drop-off at LaVell Edwards are coordinated through BYU's event parking operation, and advance coordination with BYU Parking Services at (801) 422-3906 is required for large vehicles — confirm the assignment before game day.
Delta Center (301 S Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84101), home of the Utah Jazz and Utah Hockey Club, is about 45 miles north. America First Field (9256 State St, Sandy, UT 84070) hosts Real Salt Lake and Utah Royals FC. On campus in Orem, the UCCU Center at UVU (800 W University Pkwy, Orem, UT 84058) hosts Wolverines basketball, graduation ceremonies, and concerts.
Traffic around all of these venues changes significantly on event days — build extra time into the pickup and return schedule, and state the event when you submit the trip so the timing accounts for it.
The network serves all of them. The primary convention facility for the Provo-Orem area is the Utah Valley Convention Center (100 W Center St, Provo, UT 84601), about 3 miles south of Orem, with more than 100,000 square feet of meeting and event space. On the UVU campus, the UCCU Center handles large graduation ceremonies and public events.
Thanksgiving Point (3003 N Thanksgiving Way, Lehi, UT 84043), about 12 miles north, is one of the most active event campuses in the region — corporate gatherings, school field trips, and large ticketed events all run through it. Large venues like these have designated bus loading areas separate from the main public entrance. If the trip involves a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a venue — a common setup for multi-day conferences — lay out the full schedule with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. In Orem itself, Sleepy Ridge Golf Club (2429 W 1200 N, Orem, UT 84057) is a popular local venue with mountain views. Thanksgiving Point's Ashton Gardens is one of the most sought-after wedding properties in the state, about 12 miles north.
Sundance Mountain Resort (8841 N Alpine Loop Rd, Sundance, UT 84604) is a stunning mountain venue about 20 miles east up Provo Canyon — the canyon road is navigable for full-size coaches, and the upper resort access is worth confirming when you submit the trip. Zermatt Resort (784 W Resort Dr, Midway, UT 84049) in the Heber Valley is about 35 miles east. The most common setup is a shuttle loop between the hotel room block and the venue, running through the ceremony and reception.
Give the exact venue address with the request and it gets matched to the right vehicle from the start.
The network serves all of them. Utah Valley University is Orem's flagship institution, with roughly 43,000 students and designated bus loading zones on the west side of campus; advance coordination with UVU Parking Services is recommended for large groups. Brigham Young University in Provo (4 miles south) is the other major anchor, with graduation weekends that are among the largest in the intermountain west.
Orem's high schools — Orem High School (175 N 400 E, Orem, UT 84057), Mountain View High School (665 W Center St, Orem, UT 84057), and Timpanogos High School (1450 N 200 E, Orem, UT 84057) — are all served through the Alpine School District, one of the largest in Utah. Field trips and team travel typically load at the school or campus itself. State the exact headcount, any accessibility needs, and the destination when you submit the trip.
The most popular group destinations from Orem for this kind of trip are worth naming. High West Distillery (703 Park Ave, Park City, UT 84060) is about 45 miles northeast — roughly 50 to 60 minutes via I-15 and I-80 — and is one of the most recognized whiskey distilleries in the country, with a restaurant on site and a saloon atmosphere that makes it a natural group stop. For casinos, Utah has no legal gambling, so the destination is West Wendover, Nevada, about 170 miles west of Orem — approximately 2.5 hours via I-15 and I-80 — where the Peppermill, Rainbow, and Montego Bay casinos sit just over the state line.
It is a genuine and popular day-trip and overnight run from Utah County. For nightlife, most Orem groups head to Salt Lake City, about 45 miles north, where the Granary District and venues along South Temple are the main draws. A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group stays at each stop — list the stops and how long at each one when you submit the trip so the hours come back right.
Yes. The most common long-distance runs from Orem are Las Vegas, Nevada — about 430 miles south via I-15, roughly 6 to 6.5 hours — which is the single most popular overnight charter trip from Utah County. West Wendover, Nevada for the casinos is about 170 miles west, around 2.5 hours.
Park City is 45 miles northeast, roughly 50 to 60 minutes, and a common ski-season and Sundance Film Festival destination. Moab, for Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, is about 230 miles southeast — approximately 3.5 hours via US-6 and US-191. Zion National Park is about 310 miles south, around 4.5 hours.
Disneyland in Anaheim is roughly 730 miles west, a 10-to-11-hour run that most groups do as a multi-day trip. A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day package rather than by the hour. If the trip runs overnight, lay out the full itinerary — departure, stops, return — with the request so it comes back priced correctly.
