Most full-sized motorcoaches, seating 36 to 60 people, include a compact onboard restroom located at the rear of the cabin. The motorcoach restroom features a toilet and often includes a small sink or hand sanitizer for passenger convenience.

Entertainment Systems

Charter buses feature onboard entertainment systems, typically including flat-screen TV monitors mounted throughout the cabin. The TV monitors are often connected to a DVD or Blu-ray player, making them perfect for group movie viewings.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Bus in Lima, Ohio?

+

The cost of your Lima charter bus rental will depend on a few key details about your trip. Factors like the number of passengers, the length of your trip, the time of year, and your preferred itinerary all play a role in determining the final price of your charter bus rental. For example, a multi-day shuttle for a class trip to the Neil Armstrong Air & Space Museum will cost more than a quick, one-off shuttle for a wedding reception at the Lima Civic Center.

As a helpful starting point, we have an entire page dedicated to charter bus pricing with averages and examples to help you get a general idea of what your trip may cost. And if you want a free, transparent quote with no hidden fees, you can contact our team any time after you have your travel date, headcount, and itinerary with addresses.

What Is the Traffic Like in Lima, Ohio?

+

Lima, Ohio, offers smooth, low-stress traffic compared to larger cities, but group travel still comes with challenges. Weekday congestion around the downtown roundabout and I-75/US-30 interchanges can slow you down, especially during peak hours or construction season. Driving a large bus or van through tight turns on Cable Road, managing school zones near Lima Central Catholic, or coordinating multiple cars for a wedding at the UNOH Event Center all add unnecessary hassle to your trip. This is exactly why groups choose charter transportation—your driver handles every turn, signal, and parking spot, while you enjoy the ride. You'll save time, avoid frustration, and keep your entire group focused on the experience, not the road.

What Types of Vehicles Do You Offer in Lima, Ohio?

+

Lima Charter Bus Company offers a full range of vehicles to accommodate groups of any size. You can choose from sprinter vans for airport transfers, minibuses for corporate events, full-size motorcoaches for school trips, and even party buses for special occasions. Every vehicle is driven by a licensed, experienced driver who will handle the navigation and parking for you. No matter your group size or destination, we have a transportation solution that fits your needs and budget.

What Types of Events & Destinations Do You Frequently Serve in Lima, Ohio?

+

Lima Charter Bus Company provides reliable transportation for school trips to the Allen County Museum, corporate events at the UNOH Event Center, and family reunions at Faurot Park. We also offer wedding shuttles for receptions at the Lima Civic Center and sports team transportation to Spartan Stadium. Many groups also rely on us for airport transfers to Toledo Express Airport or long-distance travel to nearby cities like Columbus and Cleveland. No matter the destination, we ensure your group arrives together, on time, and without the stress of coordinating multiple vehicles.

How Far in Advance Should I Book My Lima, Ohio Bus Rental?

+

While every group trip is different, we generally recommend booking your charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. This gives you the best selection of vehicles and helps you lock in the most competitive rates before demand drives prices up. If your group plans to travel during major holidays, university graduation weekends, or peak sports season (late summer/fall), secure your bus as early as possible. Last-minute rentals are always welcome, but availability may be limited, especially for larger motorcoaches. The good news is that our real-time pricing tool makes planning simple-just one quick quote and you'll see pictures, pricing, and vehicle details instantly, so you can commit when the timing is right for your group.
