No — Busrentalorem.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving the Orem area, and the actual transportation is carried out by those independent operators. Think of it as the fast lane to finding the right bus: you share your trip details once, the results page shows you what is available, and you book directly on the national booking platform.
One form, many options, done in minutes.
When you search on your own, you call one company, get one price, and hope they have the right vehicle on your date. With Busrentalorem.com, you fill out one form — or make one call to 385-236-0020 — and see vehicles and rates from a whole network of providers serving Orem at once. More options, different price points, and you see them in seconds instead of spending an afternoon on hold.
That is the difference between one yard and an entire network competing for your booking.
An independently owned transportation company serving the Orem area. When you fill out the quote form, you continue to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a price, not a company off a list.
The specific transportation company assigned to the booking is confirmed to you after the booking is made. The platform works with different operators serving the area so there is more than one option in front of you.
Booking a charter bus
Fill out the form on this page — or call 385-236-0020 — and you go straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company works with a network of operators serving the Orem area, and right there on their site you can see the available vehicles, compare pricing, and book the bus you want online in minutes. What you are choosing on that results page is a vehicle and a price.
The whole thing takes about as long as ordering dinner online.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That gets you a quote. The more detail you give — your stops, your start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities that matter — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better you can match a vehicle to what the trip actually needs.
More detail in means a better result out.
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 company's website and see quotes immediately. No inbox to check, no phone tag.
If you would rather go through it with someone, call 385-236-0020 and a live agent can pull up options with you on the spot.
The earlier the better on a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type benefits from booking further ahead. That said, because Busrentalorem.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving Orem rather than one operator with one lot, short-notice trips are often still workable — you are not calling a single company and being told no. Submit the request or call 385-236-0020 even on short notice and see what the network has available.
The worst outcome is finding out quickly; the best is getting on the road.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time and works well when the itinerary is flexible or the group needs the bus standing by. A one-way transfer moves the group from one point to another.
A round trip brings them back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way — a brewery loop, a wedding shuttle circuit, a game-day pickup run. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a ski weekend in Park City or a run down to Moab.
Which format fits depends on the trip itself, and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full when you submit the request so the quote comes back priced correctly for the whole thing.
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 ranges — your actual price depends on the type and size of bus, the date, how long you need it, the route, and how busy that particular date is across the Orem market. The range is a starting point, not your price.
The fastest way to see a number for your actual trip is to fill out the form and see pricing in seconds, or call 385-236-0020 — going through the trip with someone can turn up better pricing and packages than you would find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three structures are used. A shorter trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly. A trip that covers significant distance — roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark, or heading well out of the Utah Valley area, like a run to Las Vegas or Denver — 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, simply because the vehicle is booked for most of the day anyway. Which structure applies is determined by the actual trip, so submitting your full itinerary is what gets you the right number.
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. On the reader's end: Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, and daytime trips on those same days price lower than evening ones. Booking the size the group actually needs beats reserving extra capacity just in case.
Grouping riders into one or two pickup points rather than five separate stops cuts the hours on the clock. In Orem specifically, BYU home football Saturdays, Stadium of Fire weekend around July 4th, and prom season in April and May pull the whole Utah Valley market at once — those dates book early and price accordingly. Submit the form to see what your actual trip costs, or call 385-236-0020 to go through it.
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 seats roughly 40 to 56 passengers depending on the make and model. Your group boards together, travels together, and arrives together — the route and the timing are yours.
Outside: a full-size coach body with high windows running the full length of both sides, luggage bay doors cut into the skirt along the bottom, and a height that clears most highway overpasses with room to spare. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color — some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the vehicle that shows up will not always look identical to a photo. Inside: forward-facing seats in pairs on either side of a center aisle, seat fabric that may be cloth or leather depending on the make and model, overhead parcel racks running the length of the cabin, and a restroom toward the rear.
Popular full-size models include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45 — all three share the same basic layout with minor differences in window profile and interior finish.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, 110-volt power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may vary by make, model, and the specific vehicle — what is on any given coach is confirmed during booking rather than guaranteed across the board. If your group needs specific amenities, note them with your trip details when you submit the request, since that narrows which vehicles come back on the results page.
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: extra legroom configurations and wheelchair positions each take seats out of the total. Because Busrentalorem.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date. Submit the trip or call 385-236-0020 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 seating, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, since those configurations take space that would otherwise hold a row. Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for sightline reasons, which can change the feel of the front section without changing the total count.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms most people can picture: roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the standard full-size vehicle.
Shorter coaches exist — most commonly around 35 feet — and they are a better fit when the route involves tighter urban streets or venue access points that cannot accommodate the full-size length. The 45-foot coach is the standard, and it is what most full-size quotes are built around.
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. A useful comparison: a little taller than a single story of a house. That height matters most when the route passes through a parking structure, a covered hotel drop-off, or a venue with a low canopy — if any of those are on the itinerary, note it with the trip details so the right vehicle is matched to the route.
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 before the trip: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, and general browsing — rather than fifty or sixty people doing heavy data work at once. Whether a specific vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator, since it is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries.
If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details when you submit the request so the results reflect vehicles that are equipped.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, located toward the rear of the coach. It is there so the group does not have to stop, and on a long run — say, the drive from Orem down to Zion or out to Las Vegas — the trip may still be planned with real rest stops along the way. Features may vary by vehicle, so if an onboard restroom is important for the group, note it with the trip 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. In practical terms, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — useful on the drive up to Park City for a ski weekend or out to Las Vegas.
If the group needs outlets, note it with the trip details so the results reflect equipped vehicles.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the interior cabin, and undercarriage baggage bays run underneath the coach along both sides. 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 per person below plus one small carry-on above. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear like ski equipment for a Park City trip, instruments, sports bags, or event supplies takes the space of several standard bags. State your luggage situation and any oversized items with the trip details when you submit the request so the right coach is matched to what the group is actually bringing.
Charter bus service in Orem, Utah
Any group that needs to move together! The network serves airport transfers to and from Salt Lake City International, corporate travel and employee shuttles across Utah Valley, weddings and private events at venues from Sundance Resort to Thanksgiving Point, concerts and sporting events at LaVell Edwards Stadium and the UCCU Center, school and church group trips across Alpine School District and beyond, government and military moves, brewery and distillery tours up to Salt Lake City or Park City, prom and homecoming for Mountain View, Timpview, and Orem High, and long-distance travel to Las Vegas, Moab, Zion, and beyond. If your group is going somewhere together, there is a bus for it.
The network serves Orem and the surrounding Utah Valley region, including Provo, Lehi, American Fork, Pleasant Grove, Lindon, Spanish Fork, Springville, and Salt Lake City — those are examples, not the complete list. If your pickup or destination is not named here, enter the full route or call 385-236-0020 to check availability for that city.
A few dates pull the whole Utah Valley market at once. BYU home football Saturdays at LaVell Edwards Stadium from August through November — especially Big 12 matchups — fill buses fast. Stadium of Fire around July 4th at LaVell Edwards draws 65,000+ and is one of the single busiest transportation days of the year in the area.
Prom season runs April and May across Alpine School District schools including Mountain View, Timpview, and Orem High. BYU and UVU graduation in April and May add to that same stretch. The Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival in April and May brings massive crowds to Lehi.
On those dates the whole local market books early. Submit the request as soon as the date is set — and on short notice, still submit it, because the network has more availability than any one operator.
Planning your Orem, Utah charter bus trip
Yes — the network serves airport runs to and from the airports your group actually flies through. Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) (3920 W. Terminal Dr., Salt Lake City, UT 84122) is the primary hub for the region, about 45 miles north of Orem via I-15, with a drive time of roughly 40 to 55 minutes off-peak and 60 to 75 minutes or more during morning and afternoon rush. That is where virtually all commercial flights in and out of Utah Valley connect.
Provo Municipal Airport (PVU) (1331 S Sky Way, Provo, UT 84601) is about 8 miles south and offers commercial service. For SLC runs, the coach meets your group curbside on the Arrivals level at the spot the airport designates for buses and larger commercial vehicles, following SLC's own ground transportation protocols. Build in extra time on I-15 for morning departures — the corridor through Orem and Provo backs up early.
Yes — the network serves game-day transportation to the venues your group is actually headed to. UCCU Center at Utah Valley University (800 W University Pkwy, Orem, UT 84058) is the home of UVU Wolverines basketball and volleyball, right on campus. LaVell Edwards Stadium (1700 N Canyon Rd, Provo, UT 84604), about 5 miles south, seats roughly 63,000 for BYU Cougars football — Big 12 home games generate significant traffic on University Avenue and Canyon Road, so building in extra time is smart.
Marriott Center (1075 E University Pkwy, Provo, UT 84602) hosts BYU basketball and volleyball with a capacity near 17,978. Buses drop groups near the designated loading areas at each venue and stage nearby until the event ends. Stadium of Fire at LaVell Edwards around July 4th is one of the highest-demand days of the year — book that one early.
Yes — the network serves convention and event transportation throughout Utah Valley. The Utah Valley Convention Center (220 W Center St, Provo, UT 84601), about 5 miles south of Orem, is the primary convention facility for the region with 83,578 square feet of event space and hosts trade shows, conferences, and large civic events. Thanksgiving Point (3003 N Thanksgiving Way, Lehi, UT 84043), about 15 miles north, is a major event complex that hosts corporate gatherings, festivals, and the Tulip Festival.
The UCCU Center at UVU hosts graduations, concerts, and large campus events. Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main guest entrance — a repeat shuttle between a hotel block and a convention venue should have its full schedule laid out with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. Sundance Resort (8841 N Alpine Loop Rd, Sundance, UT 84604), about 15 miles east up Provo Canyon, is one of the most sought-after mountain wedding venues in Utah, with the narrow canyon road on US-189 making a coordinated shuttle the smart call for guests. Thanksgiving Point's Ashton Gardens, about 15 miles north, is one of the most popular outdoor wedding venues in the state.
Geneva on the Lake (3400 Geneva Rd, Provo, UT 84606), about 8 miles south, sits on Utah Lake for a waterfront setting. Sleepy Ridge Golf Club (700 E 800 S, Orem, UT 84097) is right in Orem proper. The most common wedding setup is a shuttle loop between the hotel block and the venue — give the exact venue address and the hotel pickup location with the request and the right vehicle gets matched to the route.
Yes — the network serves school and campus transportation throughout the area. Utah Valley University is the largest university in Utah by enrollment, with designated bus loading zones on campus. Brigham Young University (Provo, UT 84602), about 5 miles south, is another major destination for group travel.
In the Alpine School District, Orem's own schools include Mountain View High School (665 W Center St), Timpview High School (3570 N 650 E), and Orem High School (175 S 400 E), along with Lakeridge and Canyon View junior highs and elementary schools throughout the city. Field trips and team travel are typically pickups at the school or campus itself. Student trips should include the exact headcount plus any chaperone or accessibility needs with the request.
Yes — and the honest answer about Orem is that the best brewery and nightlife destinations are a drive away, which is exactly why a bus makes sense. Salt Lake City, about 45 miles north via I-15, has the strongest craft brewery scene in the state — Uinta Brewing (1722 S Fremont Dr, SLC), Epic Brewing (825 S State St, SLC), Squatters Pub Brewery (147 W Broadway, SLC), and Kiitos Brewing (608 W 700 S, SLC) are all popular stops. Park City, about 45 miles northeast, has High West Distillery (703 Park Ave, Park City, UT 84060) and a lively Main Street restaurant and bar scene.
For casino trips, Wendover, Nevada is about 120 miles west of Salt Lake City — the Peppermill and Rainbow are both there. A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group stays at each stop, so list the stops and how long at each one when you submit the request so the hours come back right.
Yes — long-distance trips are a regular part of what the network handles. Las Vegas, NV is about 430 miles south via I-15, roughly 6 to 6.5 hours — a popular overnight trip. Moab, UT (Arches and Canyonlands) is about 230 miles southeast via US-6 and US-191, around 3.5 hours — a classic Utah road trip destination.
Zion National Park is about 310 miles south via I-15, roughly 4.5 hours. Park City is about 45 miles northeast, 45 to 55 minutes — ski weekends and Sundance Film Festival in January. Jackson Hole, WY is about 280 miles north, around 4.5 hours.
A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day arrangement rather than by the hour, and an overnight trip needs the full itinerary — where the group is staying, when they are leaving, all of it — laid out with the request so it comes back priced correctly for the whole run.
