Lakewood Charter Bus Rental FAQs
About Busrentallakewood.com
Busrentallakewood.com is an advertising and quote comparison website that lets you compare bus rental options and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving Lakewood through a national booking platform. Fill out one quick form or call 720-343-4415, and you go straight to a results page showing available vehicles and real trip-specific pricing — no waiting on callbacks, no calling five companies one at a time. Busrentallakewood.com is an advertising and referral website and does not own or operate vehicles. The transportation itself is carried out by independently owned companies serving the Lakewood area.
No — Busrentallakewood.com is a comparison and referral website. What that means for you in practical terms: you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving Lakewood and the surrounding area, all in one place, without reaching out to each company separately. You submit your trip details once, the national booking platform returns your options, and you choose the vehicle that fits.
The transportation itself is carried out by the independent operators in that network.
When you search on your own, you call one company, get one price, and start over if the vehicle or the date does not work. With Busrentallakewood.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 720-343-4415 and get more options and different price points than any single operator can offer — because the request goes out to a whole network of providers serving Lakewood rather than one yard. You see vehicles and pricing quickly instead of chasing callbacks, and the competition across the network works in your favor on price.
An independently owned transportation company serving Lakewood. Once you fill out the quote form, you head to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits the trip — the size, the amenities, the price. What you are choosing there is a vehicle and a price, not picking a company off a list.
The transportation company assigned to your booking is confirmed to you after you complete it. The platform works with a network of operators serving the area, so the right match depends on your date, your route, and what is available.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page or call 720-343-4415, and you are taken directly to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independently owned transportation companies serving the Lakewood area, and right there on their site you can see available vehicles, photos, and pricing for your specific trip. What you are choosing is a vehicle and a price — and you book it directly on their website, all in just minutes.
No account required, no waiting on a callback.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That is enough to get started. The more detail you give — your stops, your start and end times, any luggage or oversized gear, and the amenities the group needs — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the match you will find.
Laying out the full itinerary up front is always worth the extra two minutes.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. As soon as you submit the form you go straight to the search results page and see available vehicles and pricing from the booking company's network. Everything is right there in front of you in seconds.
If you would rather go through it with someone, call 720-343-4415 any time and a live agent will walk you through the options and put together a package around your trip.
The earlier the better for a popular date — a larger group or a specific vehicle type books out faster, and the busiest dates in the Lakewood market (Red Rocks concert nights, Broncos home Sundays, JeffCo prom weekends, ski season Fridays on I-70) go early across the whole metro. That said, because Busrentallakewood.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the area rather than one operator with one yard, 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 the request or call 720-343-4415 even on short notice — it is always worth checking.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time — great for nights out through the Belmar district or a brewery loop to Golden and Black Hawk. A one-way transfer moves a group from one place to another, like a hotel pickup to Denver International Airport.
A round trip brings them back to the starting point. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops, like a casino run through Black Hawk or a Red Rocks concert with a pre-show dinner. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day — a ski weekend to Breckenridge or a conference in Colorado Springs.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself, and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full with 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. Those are real ranges — pricing is not one size fits all, and a number of things move a quote up or down, so the range is a starting point rather than your price. The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and see pricing for your actual route and date in seconds.
Or call 720-343-4415 — going through the trip with someone can turn up better packages and pricing than you would find on your own, and there is no obligation.
It depends on the trip, and all three structures are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly — a concert shuttle to Red Rocks or a game-day run to Empower Field at Mile High works this way. A trip that runs long distance — roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark, or heading well out of the Lakewood area toward Colorado Springs, Salt Lake City, or Las Vegas — may carry a per-mile charge instead.
And 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 the 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, and daytime trips on those same days cost less than evening ones. Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity — a 28-passenger minibus for 22 people is cheaper than a 56-passenger coach for the same group.
Grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of four or five cuts the hours on the clock. In Lakewood specifically, dates that overlap with Red Rocks concert nights, Broncos home games, ski season Fridays on I-70, and JeffCo prom weekends see the whole metro market tighten — if your date is flexible, moving even one day can make a real difference on price.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule, its own stops — rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a standard full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. The group has the coach to themselves for the duration of the booking.
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 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 for your group will not always look the same. Inside, you get forward-facing seats in pairs on either side of a center aisle, with fabric that may be cloth or leather depending on the make and model.
Overhead racks run the full length of the cabin for bags and jackets, and a restroom sits toward the rear. Common makes include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45 — all full-size coaches with the same general layout, though the interior finish and equipment vary by vehicle and operator.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system, and flat-panel TV monitors. Features may include any of these depending on the make, model, and operator — no specific vehicle is guaranteed to carry a particular amenity, and what is on board is confirmed during booking. If there are amenities the group specifically needs, note them with the trip details when you submit the request, since that narrows which vehicles come back in the results.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common build 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 how it is configured — extra legroom or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total. Because Busrentallakewood.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date and route. Submit the trip or call 720-343-4415 if the group needs a specific capacity confirmed before booking.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — four seats across in each row, all forward-facing. That is the standard layout: one aisle down the middle, paired seating on each side, 14 rows deep. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, and some coaches tier the front rows slightly for the view.
On a standard 56-passenger build, 14 rows is the number.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. If you are working out whether one fits somewhere — a parking area, a venue approach road, a hotel loop — that is roughly three cars parked end to end. Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and those are worth asking about if the route involves tight turns or restricted access roads.
The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle you will see 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 as the standard clearance. If you are checking clearance for a parking garage, a venue entrance, or an underpass on the route, that is a little taller than the first floor of a typical house. Confirm clearance on any low structure before the trip — the 12-foot design standard is the number to work from.
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 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, model, and operator. And on the performance side — onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach.
Phones, messaging, and browsing work well; it is not built for 50 or 60 people doing heavy work at once. If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details when you submit the request. That narrows the results to vehicles that have it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach and is there so the group does not have to stop on a long run. That said, on a longer trip the itinerary is usually still planned with real rest stops, because the onboard restroom is a backup, not a substitute for a proper break.
If an onboard restroom matters for the trip, note it with the details when you submit the request.
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 to Breckenridge or a full-day corporate outing — but whether the specific coach has outlets at every seat is confirmed during booking.
Note it with the trip details if the group needs it.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the full 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.
What that works out to in practice: across a full 56-passenger load, roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and just under 2 cubic feet overhead — about one checked-size bag each below plus one small carry-on above. That is the standard load.
A few things change it. A coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space. Bulky gear — ski equipment for a Breckenridge weekend, instruments, sports bags, event supplies, trade show materials — takes the space of several standard bags, and a full load of passengers with ski gear will fill the bays faster than a business group traveling light.
If the group is bringing oversized items or a heavy luggage load, state it with the trip details when you submit the request. That gets the right coach matched to the group rather than finding out on pickup day.
Charter Bus Service in Lakewood, Colorado
Any group with a trip to make! The network serves airport transfers to and from Denver International Airport and the metro's other airports — one bus for the whole group instead of a caravan of cars on I-70. Corporate travel and employee shuttles move teams between offices, conferences at the Colorado Convention Center, and off-site events.
Wedding shuttles handle hotel-to-venue loops so guests are not hunting for parking at mountain properties. Concert and sporting event transportation gets groups to Red Rocks, Empower Field at Mile High, and Ball Arena without the post-event traffic scramble. School and church group trips, government and military moves, brewery and casino tours, prom and homecoming, and long-distance travel to ski resorts, Colorado Springs, and beyond — all of it is on the table.
The network serves Lakewood and the entire surrounding region — Denver, Golden, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Englewood, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Aurora, Thornton, Westminster, Broomfield, and communities across Jefferson County, Denver County, Arapahoe County, and Douglas County. Those are examples, not the full list. If you have a pickup or destination not named here, enter the full route in the quote form or call 720-343-4415 and the team will check coverage for that specific city or corridor.
A few dates fill the Lakewood and Denver metro market fast every year. The National Western Stock Show (mid-January, 16 days at the National Western Complex) is one of the biggest group transportation events of the Denver year. Red Rocks concert season runs June through September and is the single biggest factor of charter bus demand in the metro — high-profile shows sell out buses weeks ahead.
Denver Broncos home Sundays at Empower Field at Mile High (eight to nine games, September through January) tighten the whole market. JeffCo prom weekends at Lakewood, Green Mountain, Bear Creek, and Jefferson high schools run late April through mid-May. Ski season Fridays on I-70 to Breckenridge and Vail peak December through March.
And New Year's Eve in Denver and at Red Rocks books out early every year. On all of those dates, book as far ahead as possible. Short-notice requests are still worth submitting — the network is wide — but the best vehicles and the best prices go early.
Planning Your Lakewood, Colorado Charter Bus Trip
Yes — the network serves all airports in the Denver metro. Denver International Airport (DEN) (8500 Peña Blvd, Denver, CO 80249) is the primary hub, roughly 32 miles northeast of Lakewood and 35 to 55 minutes via I-70 East depending on traffic at the Mousetrap interchange. Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (BJC) (11755 Airport Way, Broomfield, CO 80021) is about 18 miles north, 25 to 35 minutes via US-36, and serves private and charter aviation.
Colorado Springs Airport (COS) (7770 Milton E. Proby Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80916) is roughly 70 miles south and 70 to 90 minutes via I-25, serving groups flying Southwest, United, American, and Frontier into the Springs market. For any airport pickup, 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. Check the DEN ground transportation page for current bus staging information before your trip.
Yes — the network serves every major stadium and arena in the Denver metro. Empower Field at Mile High (1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204) is about 6 miles east of Lakewood and home to the Denver Broncos — 12 to 20 minutes via US-6, with game-day traffic adding significantly to that on home Sundays. Ball Arena (1000 Chopper Cir, Denver, CO 80204) is home to the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche, about 7 miles east.
Coors Field (2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205) hosts the Colorado Rockies, roughly 9 miles northeast. Red Rocks Amphitheatre (18300 W Alameda Pkwy, Morrison, CO 80465) is just 9 miles southwest — the most in-demand concert venue in the Denver charter market, with bus and motorcoach parking in the designated bus lot off Trading Post Road. Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City hosts the Colorado Rapids.
On game and concert nights, traffic patterns around all of these venues change significantly — build extra time into the itinerary, and note the event when you submit the request so the timing is right.
Yes — the network serves every major convention and event venue in the region. The Colorado Convention Center (700 14th St, Denver, CO 80202) is about 8 miles east of Lakewood, 15 to 25 minutes, and is the largest convention facility in the Rocky Mountain region — bus drop-off runs on 14th Street with motorcoach staging in adjacent areas. The National Western Complex (4655 Humboldt St, Denver, CO 80216) hosts the National Western Stock Show and large livestock and trade events.
The Jefferson County Fairgrounds (15200 W 6th Ave, Golden, CO 80401) is about 10 miles west and handles large outdoor and indoor events across Jefferson County. The Lakewood Cultural Center (470 S Allison Pkwy, Lakewood, CO 80226) is right in the city. Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main entrance, and a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a convention venue — say, a hotel in downtown Denver and the Colorado Convention Center across multiple days — should have its full schedule laid out with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the Lakewood area and across the Denver metro. That includes mountain properties like Arrowhead Golf Club (10850 W Sundown Trail, Littleton, CO 80125) with its dramatic red rock backdrop, Chatfield Farms (8500 W Deer Creek Canyon Rd, Littleton, CO 80128) at the Denver Botanic Gardens' 700-acre farm, and The Manor House (6900 S Colorado Blvd, Littleton, CO 80122). Closer in, Wellshire Event Center (3333 S Colorado Blvd, Denver, CO 80222) and venues near Sloan's Lake and the Edgewater neighborhood are common Lakewood-area wedding stops.
The most common setup is shuttling guests between a hotel block and the venue — a loop that runs from rehearsal dinner through the final send-off. Give the exact venue address with the request and it gets the right vehicle matched to the approach road, the parking situation, and the timing of the day.
Yes — the network serves schools and campuses throughout Lakewood and Jefferson County. Jefferson County Public Schools (JeffCo Schools) is the second-largest school district in Colorado, serving most of Lakewood with high schools including Lakewood High School (9700 W 6th Ave), Green Mountain High School (13175 W Green Mountain Dr), Bear Creek High School (9800 W Quincy Ave), and Jefferson High School (2305 S Pierce St). Colorado Christian University (8787 W Alameda Ave, Lakewood, CO 80226) is right on Alameda Avenue in the city.
Red Rocks Community College (13300 W 6th Ave, Lakewood, CO 80228) is on 6th Avenue. Colorado School of Mines (1500 Illinois St, Golden, CO 80401) is about 8 miles west. Field trips and team travel are usually 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 this is one of the best uses of a charter bus in the Lakewood area. The Coors Brewery (311 10th St, Golden, CO 80401) is just 8 miles west — about 15 to 20 minutes — and the world's largest single-site brewery is a classic group outing from Lakewood. The Idaho Springs brewery corridor on I-70 (Tommyknocker Brewery and others, about 35 miles west, 40 to 50 minutes) makes a great half-day loop.
Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey (200 S Kalamath St, Denver, CO 80223) is about 9 miles east for distillery tours. The Black Hawk and Central City casino corridor (Ameristar, Isle of Capri, Monarch, and others) is roughly 40 miles west on US-6 or I-70 to CO-119, 45 to 60 minutes — one of the most popular steady-demand charter bus destinations from Lakewood, every weekend of the year. For a multi-stop route — brewery to brewery, or a casino night with dinner — list the stops and how long the group plans to stay at each one when you submit the request.
That is what gets the hours right and the price accurate.
Yes — long-distance trips are a strong use case for a charter bus, and the network handles them regularly from Lakewood. Colorado Springs is about 70 miles south on I-25, roughly 70 to 90 minutes. Breckenridge is 85 miles west on I-70 and CO-9, 90 to 110 minutes in good conditions (ski season Fridays and Sundays add significant time on I-70).
Vail is about 100 miles west, 100 to 130 minutes. Fort Collins is 65 miles north on I-25, 60 to 80 minutes. For destinations further out — Salt Lake City (~525 miles, roughly 7.5 hours via I-70 West and I-15), Albuquerque (~450 miles, about 7 hours via I-25 South), or Las Vegas (~750 miles, about 10.5 hours) — a long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day trip rather than by the hour.
Overnight trips need the full itinerary laid out with the request — departure city, destination, overnight stops if any, and return details — so the booking comes back priced and timed correctly.
