Amenities: Check the amenities in the charter buses and then rent it. Choose a private bus company that offers well-maintained buses equipped with basic necessities. The amenities to look out for are as follows:

· Air conditioner

· Compact restroom

· DVD player

· TV monitors

· Reclining seats

Some buses even have wireless internet. All bus rental companies do not offer all these amenities. Hence choose a company that provides the amenities according to the need of your group.

Permission for Food and Beverages: Charter buses allow outside drinks and food. But still, it is a good idea to verify with the bus company whether it allows outside drinks and food. Be careful while having food inside the bus. For a food spill or trash on the bus, you have to pay the cleaning fees. Thus, the best thing to do is to be careful while eating and clean up the mess.

Permission for Pets: Most of the rental bus companies have the ‘no pet’ policy. Thus, you must check with your private bus company whether it allows pets. Some bus rental companies allow service animals with disabled people. ‘Americans with Disabilities’ act allows this.

Prohibited Items: Check the policy of the company before you rent a charter bus. Apart from explosives and weapons, a bus rental company may not allow other items as well. Many companies do not allow smoking in the charter buses as well. Check this before renting a bus.

Bed Facility: The standard ‘charter buses’ have reclining and cushioned seats. They are not equipped with beds. If you need bunk beds you have to charter the ‘entertainer coach’. It has between 8 and 12 beds and a ‘master suite’. The standard ‘entertainer coaches’ have a kitchen, lounge, restroom etc.

Storage Space: You must choose a charter bus with adequate storage space. Charter buses are available with overhead bins for keeping personal belongings. Some even offer open containers called luggage bays. These storage bays under the charter bus hold big items like equipment and luggage.

These are things to keep in mind about choosing the right charter bus rental company.
