About Coloradospringscoachbuscompany.com
Coloradospringscoachbuscompany.com is an advertising and quote comparison website that lets you compare bus rental options and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving Colorado Springs through a national booking platform. Fill out one quick form and you instantly see vehicles, amenities, and pricing side by side — so you get more choices in less time than calling around ever gives you. Coloradospringscoachbuscompany.com is an advertising and referral website and does not own or operate vehicles.
No — Coloradospringscoachbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. In practical terms, that means you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned bus companies serving Colorado Springs, all in one place. You fill out one form or make one call, see your options on the national booking platform, and choose what fits your trip.
The transportation itself is carried out by independent operators serving your area.
When you search on your own, you call one company, hear what they have on the lot that day, and decide whether to take it or keep dialing. With Coloradospringscoachbuscompany.com, you fill out one form — or make one call to 719-619-1380 — and you immediately see vehicles and pricing from a whole network of providers serving Colorado Springs. More options, different price points, and none of the time spent tracking down callbacks.
That is the difference.
An independently owned transportation company serving Colorado Springs. Once you submit your trip details, you go straight to the national booking platform, where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price point that works. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a package, not a company off a list.
The specific transportation company assigned to your booking is confirmed to you through the booking platform after you complete your reservation.
Booking a Charter Bus
You fill out the short form on this site — or call 719-619-1380 — with your trip details. You are immediately taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website, which partners with independent operators serving the Colorado Springs area. Right there on that platform, you browse available vehicles with photos and trip-specific pricing, and you book the bus you want directly online.
What you are choosing is a vehicle and a price — the whole thing takes minutes.
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 add — your stops, start and end times, any luggage or oversized gear, and the amenities your group needs — the more accurate the quote comes back, and the better positioned you are to find the right vehicle at the right price.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form you go straight to the search results page on the booking platform and see pricing for your actual trip. If you would rather walk through it with someone, call 719-619-1380 any time and a live agent will go through the options with you on the spot.
Earlier is always better on a popular date, and a specific vehicle or a large group benefits from more lead time. That said, because Coloradospringscoachbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving Colorado Springs rather than a single operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — that is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling one company and being told no. Do not let a tight timeline stop you from submitting a request or calling 719-619-1380.
The worst outcome is finding out quickly; the best is getting exactly what you need on short notice.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time — great when the schedule is flexible or the group is moving between several stops. A one-way transfer moves your group from one point to another.
A round trip brings them back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several destinations built in — a brewery loop through Old Colorado City, for example, or a shuttle circuit between a hotel and Pikes Peak Center (190 S Cascade Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903). A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day.
Which format fits depends entirely on your trip — and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full when you submit 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 ranges, not your price — the type of bus, the date, the distance, and the specifics of your itinerary all move the number. The ranges are a starting point.
The fastest way to see pricing for your actual Colorado Springs trip is to fill out the form online and see results in seconds. Or call 719-619-1380 — going through the trip with someone can surface packages and price points you would not find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short run of a couple of hours — say, a shuttle from a Colorado Springs hotel to Broadmoor World Arena (3185 Venetucci Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80906) and back — is typically priced hourly. A trip that covers significant distance, roughly past the 100- to 200-mile mark or heading well out of the area toward Denver or Santa Fe, may carry a per-mile charge instead.
A long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, because the vehicle is booked for most of the day. Submitting your actual itinerary is what determines which structure applies to your trip.
The type and size of bus, how long it is 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. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime trips price lower than those same nights.
Booking the size your group actually needs beats over-booking capacity — a 56-passenger coach is not the right call for 22 people. Grouping your riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock. In Colorado Springs specifically, dates around Air Force Falcons home games at Falcon Stadium (4900 Stadium Blvd, USAF Academy, CO 80840), the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in late June, and graduation season at UCCS and the Air Force Academy in May drive the whole local market up early.
Book those dates well ahead, and on any date, submit the full itinerary so the quote comes back as accurate as possible.
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 is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. The group goes where it needs to go, on the schedule it sets, without sharing the coach with anyone else.
On the outside: a full-size coach body, tall 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 vehicle that arrives will not always look identical to a photo. Common makes include MCI, Van Hool, and Prevost, all of which share the same general silhouette: long, low to the roofline, and wider than anything else on the road.
Inside: forward-facing seats in pairs on either side of a center aisle, upholstered in cloth or leather depending on the model, overhead parcel racks running the full length of the cabin, and a restroom toward the rear. The ceiling is high enough to stand and walk the aisle, and the windows sit above eye level when seated, giving the cabin a more open feel than a passenger van or minibus.
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 with microphone, and flat-screen TV monitors. Features may include any of the above — they vary by make, model, and the specific vehicle, and are confirmed during booking. If certain amenities matter to your group, note them with your trip details when you submit the request, since that narrows which vehicles come back in your 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, 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 the configuration — extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total.
Because Coloradospringscoachbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date. Submit your trip or call 719-619-1380 if your 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 — forward facing, paired, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair position, since those configurations take space that would otherwise hold a full row. Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for a better sightline down the aisle.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. If you are trying to picture that: roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the standard full-size vehicle.
Shorter coaches exist — most commonly around 35 feet — and those are the right call for venues with tighter approaches, like the narrow roads leading into Manitou Springs or the switchbacks on some mountain routes west of Colorado Springs. The 45-foot coach is what most people picture when they say charter bus.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design for 12 feet. A practical comparison: a little taller than the first story of a house. That is the number to check against any garage, parking structure, or covered venue approach your group will pass through — and it is the reason buses stage in open surface lots rather than structured garages at most Colorado Springs venues.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. One thing worth knowing: onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies. And on coaches that do have it, the connection runs off a cellular signal and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, and browsing — not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy work at once.
If your group needs WiFi for the ride, note it with your trip details when you submit the request. That narrows the results to vehicles that are equipped for it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach, and it is there so a group does not have to stop on a long run. That said, on a trip of several hours, the itinerary is usually still planned with real rest stops, because the onboard restroom is a convenience rather than a substitute.
If having an onboard restroom matters for your group's trip, note it with your 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 or near 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. For a group heading from Colorado Springs to Denver International Airport (8500 Peña Blvd, Denver, CO 80249) — a roughly 100-mile run — or on any trip where people need to arrive with charged devices, it is worth noting with your trip details so the right vehicle comes back in your results.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays sit underneath it along the lower skirt. 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 — in practice, about one checked-size bag each below plus one small carry-on above. What changes that math: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear like instruments, sports equipment, or event supplies takes the space of several standard bags. A group heading to a ski resort in Summit County, for example, should account for ski bags and boot bags in the bay calculation.
State your luggage and any oversized items with the trip details when you submit the request so the right coach is matched to what your group is actually bringing.
Charter Bus Service in Colorado Springs, Colorado
The network of transportation companies serving Colorado Springs is ready for just about any group trip you can plan. Airport transfers to Colorado Springs Airport (COS) and Denver International (DEN) are among the most common bookings. Corporate travel and employee shuttles move teams between offices, conference hotels, and the Pikes Peak Center.
Wedding shuttles loop guests between hotel blocks and venues across the Pikes Peak region. Concert and sporting event trips get groups to Broadmoor World Arena and Weidner Field without the parking scramble. School field trips and team travel, church group outings, government and military group moves, brewery and casino runs to Cripple Creek, prom and homecoming, and long-distance trips to Denver, ski country, Santa Fe, and beyond are all on the table.
If your group needs to get somewhere together, submit the trip or call 719-619-1380.
The network serves Colorado Springs and the surrounding region — including Manitou Springs, Monument, Fountain, Pueblo, Castle Rock, Parker, and communities throughout El Paso County and Pueblo County. Those are examples, not the full list. If you are planning a trip to or from a city not named here — Cripple Creek, Woodland Park, Cañon City, or anywhere else in southern Colorado — enter the full route in the quote form or call 719-619-1380 to check availability.
A few dates fill the Colorado Springs market fast every year. Air Force Falcons home football games at Falcon Stadium run September through November and pull enormous demand across the metro. USAFA graduation in late May draws tens of thousands to the Academy and is one of the single busiest weekends of the year.
Prom season across D-11, D-20, and surrounding districts runs April through May. The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in late June, the Colorado Springs Labor Day Lift Off over Labor Day Weekend, and the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo in July all tighten availability. Wedding season peaks July through September.
New Year's Eve downtown and at resort venues books early. On those dates, the whole local market gets taken well ahead — book as far out as you can. On any other date, short-notice requests are still worth submitting, because Coloradospringscoachbuscompany.com puts the request in front of a full network rather than a single operator.
Planning Your Colorado Springs, Colorado Charter Bus Trip
Yes — the network serves both airports that Colorado Springs groups actually use. Colorado Springs Airport (COS) (7770 Milton E. Proby Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80916) is the local option, roughly 6 miles southeast of downtown — about 15 to 20 minutes in normal traffic — with service from American, United, Delta, Southwest, and Frontier. Denver International Airport (DEN) is the major hub, approximately 100 miles north via I-25, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on conditions.
DEN is the common choice when COS has limited service for a destination. At either airport, 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 — not the rideshare zone. Submit the full route and flight details with your request so timing is built in correctly.
Yes — the network serves every major venue in the area. Broadmoor World Arena hosts hockey, major concerts, and touring shows; buses drop on the north side of the arena and stage in the outer perimeter lots. Weidner Field (1 W Las Vegas St, Colorado Springs, CO 80903) is home to Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC soccer in the heart of downtown; street parking fills quickly on match days, so a charter bus keeps the group together and sidesteps the scramble.
Falcon Stadium hosts Air Force Falcons football for crowds of up to 39,441; base access requires coordination for non-personnel, and bus groups stage in designated visitor lots. UCHealth Park (4385 Tutt Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80922) hosts Rocky Mountain Vibes baseball on the east side of the city. On any game or event day, traffic patterns around these venues shift — build extra time into the departure plan and submit the full itinerary so pickup and return timing is priced correctly.
Yes — the network serves the full range of convention and event venues in Colorado Springs. Pikes Peak Center is a downtown performing arts venue, with a Great Hall seating approximately 2,000 in the heart of downtown; bus loading and unloading runs on Sahwatch St., with the El Paso County Parking Structure available for parking. The Broadmoor (1 Lake Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80906) hosts major corporate conferences and galas; the resort has a dedicated motor coach area, and advance coordination with the resort's transportation desk is required for large groups.
Norris-Penrose Event Center (1045 Lower Gold Camp Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80905) handles the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo and large outdoor events, with surface lots that accommodate buses. City Auditorium (221 E Kiowa St, Colorado Springs, CO 80903) serves graduations, concerts, and civic events. For any venue running a repeat shuttle between a hotel and the event — a conference morning run and afternoon return, for example — lay out the full schedule with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. The network serves the full range, from resort properties to ranches and historic downtown hotels. The Broadmoor is one of the most sought-after wedding venues in Colorado, with lakeside ceremony settings and grand ballrooms.
Cheyenne Mountain Resort (3225 Broadmoor Valley Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80906) offers lakeside ceremony and reception options in a full-service resort setting. Garden of the Gods Club & Resort (3320 Mesa Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80904) puts the red rock formations directly behind the ceremony. Antlers Hotel (4 S Cascade Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903) brings a historic downtown ballroom into the mix.
Spruce Mountain Ranch (15000 Furrow Rd, Larkspur, CO 80118) — about 40 miles north — is a working ranch venue where bus shuttles between Colorado Springs hotel blocks and the property are a common part of the wedding plan. The most common setup for any of these venues is a shuttle loop between the hotel block and the venue on the wedding day. Give the exact venue address with your request and the right vehicle gets matched to the route.
Yes — the network serves every school and campus in the area. University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) (1420 Austin Bluffs Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80918) and Colorado College (14 E Cache La Poudre St, Colorado Springs, CO 80903) are the main four-year institutions in the city. Pikes Peak State College has its main campus at 5675 S Academy Blvd and a Centennial campus at 11195 Highway 83.
The United States Air Force Academy (2304 Cadet Dr, USAF Academy, CO 80840) is a major institution north of the city — access for non-base personnel requires coordination, so note that with your request. For K-12 field trips and team travel across Colorado Springs School District 11, Academy School District 20, Harrison School District 2, Widefield School District 3, and Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8, pickups are typically at the school itself. Include the exact headcount, any chaperone seats needed, and any accessibility requirements with the request so the right vehicle comes back.
Yes — the network is ready for brewery loops, casino runs, and nightlife itineraries across the region. In the city, the craft beer scene runs through downtown and Old Colorado City: Phantom Canyon Brewing Co. (2 E Pikes Peak Ave), Bristol Brewing Company (1604 S Cascade Ave), Cerberus Brewing Company (702 W Colorado Ave), and Goat Patch Brewing Company (2727 N Cascade Ave) are natural stops on a brewery loop. Manitou Brewing Company (725 Manitou Ave, Manitou Springs, CO 80829) is about 5 miles west — a popular add to any Old Colorado City itinerary, and the narrow streets of Manitou Springs make a minibus the smarter call over a full-size coach.
For casinos, Cripple Creek — home to Bronco Billy's Casino (233 E Bennett Ave), Midnight Rose Hotel & Casino (256 E Bennett Ave), and JP McGills Hotel & Casino (232 E Bennett Ave) — sits about 45 miles west via US-24 and CO-67, roughly 55 to 65 minutes. A charter bus from Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek is one of the most popular group outings in the region, and it eliminates the mountain drive on CO-67 for everyone in the group. For a multi-stop route, list the stops and how long the group plans to stay at each one so the total hours come back priced correctly.
Yes — long-distance trips are fully bookable through the network. Groups travel from Colorado Springs to Denver (approximately 70 miles north via I-25, about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes) for concerts, sporting events, and conferences regularly. Denver International Airport is roughly 100 miles north, about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours — a common run for groups with connecting flights.
Breckenridge and Vail in Summit County are 130 to 150 miles northwest, about 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes via I-25 N and I-70 W, and ski trips from Colorado Springs are a natural fit for a charter bus. Santa Fe, NM is approximately 280 miles south via I-25, about 4 hours. Albuquerque, NM is roughly 360 miles south, about 5 hours.
Las Vegas, NV is approximately 750 miles west, about 10 to 11 hours. Long-distance trips are typically booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day package rather than by the hour. Overnight trips need the full itinerary — departure point, destination, overnight stop if any, and return — laid out with the request so it comes back priced and structured correctly.
Call 719-619-1380 for any long-distance itinerary and a live agent can walk through the options with you.
