Charter bus storage on different models<\/h2>\n

First things first, how much storage is actually available on a charter bus? GOGO Charters has access to a wide selection of minibus and charter bus rentals, with models ranging greatly in storage space. So, it depends.<\/p>\n

Bus luggage compartments are typically compact on most minibus rentals, limited to overhead storage or some space in the trunk area of smaller vehicles. This makes a minibus rental the best for groups traveling light. Book a minibus rental for quick corporate shuttle service<\/a> trips or private event transportation<\/a> to festivals and tours. If you\u2019re a small group but planning to travel with a lot of luggage, a reservation representative will likely recommend a more spacious model of minibus rental to accommodate your items.<\/p>\n

Full-size charter bus rentals<\/a> are the best options for big groups traveling with large pieces of luggage. These spacious rentals have luggage compartments beneath the bus and overhead storage options. A 56-passenger charter bus rental has enough storage for a carry-on piece of luggage and a \u201cchecked\u201d bag to go beneath the bus per passenger. If you have a large group taking up every seat on your charter bus rental, it’s best to travel as lightly as possible. This may look like opting for a personal-sized item (like a backpack or duffel bag) rather than carry-on luggage. Full-size vehicles are best for sports team transportation<\/a>, academic charter bus services<\/a>, and government or military shuttle services<\/a>.<\/p>\n
