No — Arvadacharterbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. What that means for you in practical terms: you come here to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned bus companies serving Arvada and the surrounding area, and the transportation itself is carried out by those independent operators. You use the site to find the right bus and price, and the actual ride is handled by a local company that serves your route.
Simple as that!
When you search for a bus on your own, you call one company, get one price, and hope they have something available. With Arvadacharterbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 720-452-4865 and immediately see more options and different price points than any single operator can offer. Vehicles and rates come back in seconds.
You're comparing a whole network instead of taking the first quote you find — and that difference almost always means a better deal for your group!
An independently owned transportation company serving Arvada. Once you fill out a quote, you continue to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits the trip — you're selecting a vehicle and a price, not picking a company off a list. The transportation company assigned to the booking is confirmed to you after you complete the reservation on the booking platform.
Every vehicle in the network is operated by an independent carrier that handles your trip from pickup to drop-off.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the quick form on this site with your trip details, or call 720-452-4865 any time. Once you submit, you're taken directly to a search results page on a national booking company's website — that booking company partners with independent operators serving Arvada and the surrounding region. Right there on their site, you compare available vehicles and pricing, choose the bus that fits your group, and book it online in minutes.
What you're choosing on that results page is a vehicle and a price, and the whole process takes just a few minutes from start to finish!
The basics are your pickup city, your destination, how many people are in your group, and how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you give — your stops along the way, start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any specific amenities you need — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the options you'll find. More detail means better results, so don't leave anything out when you fill out the form!
Right away — there's 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 quotes immediately. no email follow-up, no guessing. If you'd rather go through it with someone, call 720-452-4865 and a live agent will walk through the options with you and help you find the best fit for your trip!
The earlier you book, the better your selection and the better your price — especially for a specific vehicle or a date that's already busy in Arvada. That said, because Arvadacharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still very workable. That's the real advantage of comparing a network: one company might be booked solid, but another in the network has exactly what you need.
Submit the request or call 720-452-4865 even on short notice — you might be surprised what's available!
All of those can be requested! Here's what each one actually means for your trip. Hourly — sometimes called as-directed — keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time, which works well when the schedule isn't fixed to a single route.
A one-way transfer moves your group from one place to another. A round trip brings everyone back to the starting point. A multi-stop itinerary runs a planned route with several stops along the way, like a brewery loop or a wedding day that hits multiple locations.
A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day. Which format fits depends on the trip itself — and if yours involves multiple stops or an overnight, lay out the full itinerary when you request the quote 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 the starting ranges — and pricing is genuinely not one size fits all. The type of bus, the date, the distance, the number of stops, and how busy Arvada's market is on that particular day all move the number.
Think of the range as a planning baseline, not your final price. The number for your actual trip comes back in seconds when you fill out the form online, or call 720-452-4865 — going through the trip with someone can surface better packages and pricing than you'd find on your own!
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short outing of a couple of hours — a game-day shuttle from Arvada to Empower Field at Mile High (1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204) and back, for example — is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance, roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark or heading well out of the metro, may carry a per-mile charge instead.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a flat day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is committed for so much of the day. Which structure applies to your trip is determined by the actual itinerary — submit the full route and timing when you request the quote so it comes back in the right format!
The type and size of bus, how long it's 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. Here's what you can actually do about it. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday — the same trip on a Tuesday costs less than the same trip on a Saturday evening.
Daytime prices lower than those same nights. Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity just to have room to spare. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points in Arvada instead of five separate stops cuts the hours on the clock, which cuts the price.
Westbound I-70 toward the mountains on a ski-season Friday is one of the worst traffic corridors in Colorado, so building extra time into mountain trips keeps the schedule clean and the total hours predictable. Submit the actual trip details to see what the quote comes back at — or call 720-452-4865 and go through it together!
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's built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle and seats roughly 40 to 56 people. Your group gets the whole coach — the route, the timing, and the stops are yours.
On the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, long coach body with high windows running the full length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the bottom. 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 coach that shows up won't always look the same from the outside. Inside, you'll 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 tends toward a more finished interior than a workhorse MCI J4500, for example, though both seat 56 and cover the same ground. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin, and a restroom sits toward the rear. The overall impression is a clean, purpose-built travel cabin, not a converted city bus.
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, and TV monitors. Availability may vary by make, model, and the specific vehicle — not every coach carries every feature, and the exact equipment on a given bus is confirmed during booking. If there's an amenity that matters for your group — WiFi for a corporate shuttle, power outlets for a long run to the mountains, an onboard restroom for a trip to Red Rocks Amphitheatre (18300 W Alameda Pkwy, Morrison, CO 80465) — note it with your trip details so the right vehicles come back!
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 can be built for up to 60. The Van Hool CX45 is the same — 56 standard, up to 60.
The Prevost H3-45 also seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach: extra legroom configurations and wheelchair positions each take seats out of the total.
Because Arvadacharterbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what's available for your date — submit the trip or call 720-452-4865 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 — forward facing, paired, one aisle down the middle. That's the standard layout. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair position, and some coaches tier the front rows slightly for sightlines.
But 14 rows, two-and-two, center aisle is what a full-size 56-passenger coach looks like.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in perspective: roughly three cars parked end to end. That's the measurement that matters when a group is working out whether a bus fits a parking area, a venue loading zone, or a mountain road turnaround.
Shorter coaches exist — most commonly around 35 feet — but the 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle in the network.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design for 12 feet. A useful comparison: a little taller than a single story of a house. That's the number that matters when the group is heading somewhere with a parking structure, a covered drop-off, or a low-clearance road — which comes up more often on mountain routes around Arvada than it does in flat metro driving.
Note any clearance concerns when you request the quote!
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches in the network are equipped with it. One thing worth knowing: onboard WiFi is a piece of equipment a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make and model. And the honest expectation on how it performs — because this is where groups get surprised — 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 data work at once is more than the connection is designed for. If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details when you request the quote — that narrows which vehicles come back!
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, located toward the rear of the coach. It's there so the group doesn't have to stop, and on a longer run — say, Arvada to Breckenridge (approximately 85 miles southwest, about 1.5 to 2 hours via I-70) or out to Estes Park (approximately 65 miles northwest, about 1 to 1.5 hours) — the trip may still be planned with a real rest stop along the way. Availability may vary by vehicle, so note it with the trip details if it matters for your 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 it means practically: a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run, which is exactly what corporate groups and school groups heading out of the Arvada area appreciate.
Note it with the trip details if the group needs it, and the right vehicles will 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. 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 — which in practice is about one checked-size bag per person 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, and bulky gear like ski equipment heading to Vail (approximately 100 miles west via I-70), instruments for a performance group, or event supplies for a conference at the Colorado Convention Center (700 14th St, Denver, CO 80202) takes the space of several standard bags. State your luggage situation and any oversized items with the trip details so the right coach gets matched to the group!
Charter Bus Service in Arvada, Colorado
Virtually any group that needs to move together — and the list covers a lot of ground. Airport transfers to and from Denver International Airport (DEN) (8500 Peña Blvd, Denver, CO 80249) are one of the most common requests in the Arvada market. Corporate travel and employee shuttles between offices, conference hotels, and the Colorado Convention Center are another.
Weddings and private events — shuttling guests between a hotel block and a venue in the foothills — are among the highest-demand trips of the summer. Concerts and sporting events at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Empower Field at Mile High fill the calendar from spring through fall. School field trips and team travel, church group trips, government and military moves, brewery and winery tours through the RiNo district and the foothills, prom, and long-distance travel to ski resorts and beyond — all of it is workable through the network.
Call 720-452-4865 or fill out the quote form and see what's available for your trip!
The network serves Arvada and the entire Denver metro area, including Westminster, Lakewood, Golden, Wheat Ridge, Broomfield, Thornton, Northglenn, Boulder, Englewood, Littleton, Aurora, and Denver itself — plus longer runs to Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and mountain destinations across Jefferson County and the Front Range. Those are examples, not the full list. If your pickup or destination isn't named here, enter the full route in the quote form or call 720-452-4865 to check — the network covers more ground than any one city page can list!
A few dates fill the Arvada and Denver metro market faster than almost anything else. Red Rocks Amphitheatre concert nights (May through October, Morrison, CO) are the single highest-demand recurring event in the area — every show night, especially summer weekends, pulls bus availability across the whole metro. Denver Broncos home games at Empower Field at Mile High (September through January) do the same.
Prom season in April and May across Jefferson County Public Schools and Adams 12 districts books out early every year. Graduation weekends in May and June at CU Boulder, CU Denver, Metro State, and Colorado School of Mines all land close together. New Year's Eve is extremely high demand.
The National Western Stock Show in January and Taste of Colorado on Labor Day weekend pull convention-size crowds into Denver. On those dates, the whole local market gets taken early — book well ahead. Short-notice requests are still worth submitting on any date, because the network has more options than any single operator, but the popular ones go fast!
Planning Your Arvada, Colorado Charter Bus Trip
The network serves both airports that matter for Arvada groups. Denver International Airport (DEN) is the primary large-hub airport, approximately 28 to 35 miles east of Arvada and 30 to 50 minutes depending on traffic on I-70 and I-270 — this is the airport the vast majority of groups fly into and out of. Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (BJC) (11755 Airport Way, Broomfield, CO 80021) is approximately 7 to 10 miles northeast of Arvada, 12 to 18 minutes via US-36, and serves general aviation and charter flights.
For airport pickups, the coach meets the group outside the terminal at the spot that airport designates for buses and larger vehicles, following that airport's own ground transportation guidelines. Have everyone together with luggage in hand before calling the bus forward — that's the move that keeps the pickup clean and on schedule!
The network serves every major venue in the metro. Empower Field at Mile High — home of the Denver Broncos — is approximately 13 miles southeast of Arvada, 20 to 35 minutes via I-70. Ball Arena (1000 Chopper Cir, Denver, CO 80204) hosts the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche, same distance.
Coors Field (2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205) is home to the Colorado Rockies. Dick's Sporting Goods Park (6000 Victory Way, Commerce City, CO 80022) hosts the Colorado Rapids. Folsom Field (2400 Colorado Ave, Boulder, CO 80309) hosts CU Buffaloes football, about 20 miles northwest.
Red Rocks Amphitheatre is the area's most iconic concert venue, approximately 20 miles southwest. On game and show days, traffic patterns around all of these venues change significantly — build extra time into the schedule, especially for westbound I-70 runs toward Red Rocks on summer concert nights. Fill out the quote form or call 720-452-4865 to lock in your date before the market fills!
The network serves every major convention and event venue in the Denver metro. The Colorado Convention Center is approximately 14 miles southeast of Arvada, 20 to 35 minutes, and is one of the largest convention facilities in the country at 2.2 million square feet. The National Western Complex (4655 Humboldt St, Denver, CO 80216) hosts the National Western Stock Show each January and draws enormous crowds.
The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities (6901 Wadsworth Blvd, Arvada, CO 80003) is right in the city for local events and performances. Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main guest entrance — and if your group needs a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a convention venue, lay out the full schedule with the request so the hours come back timed and priced correctly from the start!
Yes — any wedding venue in the area, from Arvada itself out through the foothills and mountain communities. Boettcher Mansion (900 Colorow Rd, Golden, CO 80401), a historic hilltop estate approximately 10 miles southwest of Arvada, is one of the most popular wedding destinations in Jefferson County. The Barn at Raccoon Creek (7301 W Bowles Ave, Littleton, CO 80123) and Chatfield Farms (8500 W Deer Creek Canyon Rd, Littleton, CO 80128) are popular barn and garden venues about 20 miles south.
Della Terra Mountain Chateau (3501 Fall River Rd, Estes Park, CO 80517) draws destination wedding parties about 65 miles northwest. Venues in Olde Town Arvada, Golden, Morrison, and Boulder round out the list. The most common setup is shuttling guests between a hotel block and the venue — give the exact venue address with the request and the right vehicle gets matched to the route.
Wedding transportation in Arvada books out early in peak season, so the sooner you get the quote, the better your options!
The network serves every school and campus in Arvada and the surrounding area. Jefferson County Public Schools (Jeffco Schools) is the primary district serving Arvada, with schools including Arvada High School (7951 W 65th Ave, Arvada, CO 80004), Ralston Valley High School (13355 W 80th Ave, Arvada, CO 80005), and Pomona High School (8101 W Pomona Dr, Arvada, CO 80005). Front Range Community College has its nearest campus in Westminster (3645 W 112th Ave, Westminster, CO 80031), about 7 miles east.
Regis University (3333 Regis Blvd, Denver, CO 80221) is approximately 8 miles southeast. Colorado School of Mines (1500 Illinois St, Golden, CO 80401) is approximately 10 miles southwest. Field trips and team travel typically pick up 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 so the right bus comes back!
The Arvada area has a great circuit to work with. Right in the city, Odyssey Beerwerks (5535 W 56th Ave, Arvada, CO 80002) anchors Olde Town Arvada. Extend the loop into Denver and the RiNo Art District (River North, Denver, CO 80216) — approximately 15 miles east — packs in Great Divide Brewing Company (2201 Arapahoe St, Denver, CO 80205), Breckenridge Brewery (2220 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205), and dozens of bars and restaurants in a walkable stretch.
And for casino nights, Black Hawk and Central City — approximately 35 miles west of Arvada via I-70 and CO-119 — is the most popular group casino run in the metro, about 45 to 60 minutes each way. A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group stays at each location — list the stops and how long you're planning at each one when you request the quote so the hours come back right. Brewery and winery tour transportation in Arvada is easy to set up — fill out the form or call 720-452-4865!
Yes — long-distance trips are a regular part of what the network handles. The most common runs out of Arvada head west into the mountains: Breckenridge is approximately 85 miles southwest, about 1.5 to 2 hours via I-70; Vail is approximately 100 miles west, about 1.5 to 2 hours; Steamboat Springs is approximately 160 miles northwest, about 2.5 to 3 hours via US-40. Closer runs include Colorado Springs (approximately 70 miles south, about 1 to 1.5 hours via I-25), Fort Collins (approximately 55 miles north, about 55 to 75 minutes via I-25), and Estes Park (approximately 65 miles northwest, about 1 to 1.5 hours).
Longer hauls — Salt Lake City (approximately 525 miles west, 7 to 8 hours via I-70 and I-15), Las Vegas (approximately 750 miles southwest, 10 to 11 hours), Albuquerque (approximately 450 miles south, 6 to 7 hours via I-25) — are booked as multi-day trips rather than hourly. Note that westbound I-70 toward the mountains on ski-season Fridays and holiday weekends is one of the most congested corridors in Colorado, so build extra time into the schedule. Lay out the full itinerary with the request — overnight trips especially need the complete plan so the quote comes back correctly.
