No — Auroracharterbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. In practical terms, that means you come here, fill out one form or make one call, and you are connected to a national booking platform showing vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving Aurora and the surrounding area. You use Auroracharterbuscompany.com to find and compare the right bus for your trip; the transportation itself is carried out by those independent operators.
When you search on your own, you call one company, get one price, and hope they have what you need on your date. With Auroracharterbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call at 720-492-1814 and you immediately see more options and different price points than any single local company can offer. Vehicles and rates come back in seconds instead of days.
You see what is actually available for your trip, compare it side by side, and book the bus that fits — all without chasing down callbacks from five different operators.
An independently owned transportation company serving Aurora. Once you fill out the quote form, you are taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, and the price that work for your group. What you are selecting there is a vehicle, not a company off a list.
The transportation company assigned to that booking is confirmed to you after the booking is complete.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page with your trip details — or call 720-492-1814 — and you are taken directly to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independent operators serving the Aurora area, and their results page shows you the vehicles available for your trip along with pricing. From there, you choose the vehicle that fits your group and book it directly on their website, all in just minutes.
What you are choosing is a vehicle and a price — the match to an operator happens after the booking is confirmed.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are in the group, and how many hours you need the bus. That is enough to get a quote started. The more detail you add — your stops along the way, your start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities the group needs like WiFi or an onboard restroom — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the match you will find for your trip.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. As soon as you submit the form you go straight to the search results page on the national booking platform and see vehicles and pricing for your trip immediately. If you would rather go through it with someone, call 720-492-1814 and a live agent will walk you through the options and put together a package around your itinerary.
The earlier the better on a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type should go further ahead. That said, because Auroracharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving Aurora rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — and that is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no. If your date is coming up fast, submit the request or call 720-492-1814 anyway.
You may be surprised what is available. Never assume a last-minute request is a wasted call.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with the group for a set block of time — useful when the schedule is flexible or the group is making several stops. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another without a return leg.
A round trip brings everyone back to the starting point. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way, like a brewery loop or a wedding shuttle running between a hotel and the venue. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a ski trip to Breckenridge or a long-distance run to Las Vegas.
Which format fits depends entirely on 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 planning ranges, not a flat price — because pricing is not one size fits all. The type and size of bus, the date, the distance, and the number of stops all move the number, so the range is a starting point rather than your final quote.
The fastest way to see what your specific trip actually costs is to fill out the form and get pricing for your actual itinerary in seconds. Or call 720-492-1814 — 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 are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance — roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark, or heading well out of the Aurora area, say to Las Vegas or Salt Lake City — may carry a per-mile charge instead of stacked hourly rates.
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 that a daily figure makes more sense for everyone. Submitting the actual trip is what determines which structure applies — there is no way to know from a range alone.
Six things move the price: 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 in Aurora. On the date side, Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, and daytime trips on those same days price lower than the evening hours. On the vehicle side, booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity you will not use.
On the route side, grouping riders into one or two pickup points along I-225 or Colfax Avenue instead of five scattered addresses cuts the hours on the clock and keeps the quote tighter. Aurora's busiest dates — Broncos home Sundays at Empower Field, Red Rocks concert nights, prom season in April and May, and graduation weekends in May and June — drive up prices across the whole metro, so booking those dates well ahead is the single biggest thing you can do to protect your rate.
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 — keeping everyone together, on one itinerary, from pickup to drop-off. A full-size charter bus seats roughly 40 to 56 people.
On the outside, a charter bus is a full-size coach body — high windows running the full length of the vehicle, luggage bay doors along the lower panel, and a flat nose profile. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, and some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the vehicle that shows up will not always look the same. Common makes include MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and Motorcoach Industries.
Inside, seating runs in pairs on either side of a center aisle, all forward-facing, in cloth or leather depending on the make and model. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin. A restroom sits toward the rear.
The cabin is tall enough to walk upright to your seat, and the windows are large enough that the whole group gets a clear view — which matters on a run through the Rockies toward Vail or Breckenridge.
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, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system with a wireless microphone, and TV monitors. Features may include any combination of those depending on the make, model, and operator — never every feature on every coach. If a specific amenity matters to the group — WiFi for a corporate run to the Colorado Convention Center, or an onboard restroom for a long haul to Las Vegas — note it with the trip details so the results come back narrowed to coaches that carry it.
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 takes seats out, and a wheelchair position does the same.
Because Auroracharterbuscompany.com works with a network of providers serving Aurora, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date. Submit the trip or call 720-492-1814 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 of the cabin. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, since those configurations take space from the standard layout. Some coaches tier the front rows slightly for a better view, which is a nice feature on a mountain run through I-70 toward the ski resorts.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. The reason people ask is usually that they are working out whether one fits somewhere — a parking lot, a hotel driveway, a venue entrance. A useful comparison: roughly three cars parked end to end.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and those are sometimes the better call for venues with tighter access, like some of the historic properties in the Denver metro. The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design for 12 feet. The reason people ask is the same as the length question — they are checking clearance somewhere, like a parking structure or a covered hotel porte cochère. A useful comparison: a little taller than a single story of a house.
If the venue or parking structure has a posted clearance, that number is what matters — and the bus access point at most major Denver-area venues is at grade rather than under a structure, so it is rarely an issue.
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 before you book: 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 by make, model, and operator. The other thing worth setting the right expectation on: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, browsing — not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy data work at once.
For a corporate shuttle between Aurora and the Colorado Convention Center or the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, it handles the basics well. If the group needs it, note WiFi with the trip details so the results come back narrowed to coaches that carry it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach. The honest expectation: it is there so the group does not have to stop, and on a longer run — say, Aurora to Vail or Aurora to Colorado Springs — the trip is still usually planned with a real rest stop or two.
The restroom handles the gaps between those stops. If an onboard restroom matters to the group, note it with the trip details; availability may vary by vehicle.
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, it means a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — useful on a haul from Aurora to Las Vegas or a multi-day ski trip to Steamboat Springs.
If the group needs outlets, note it with the trip details so the results come back narrowed to coaches that have them.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays run along the lower panel underneath it. 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 — which in practice is about one checked-size bag each 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 Breckenridge trip, instruments for a band, or event supplies for a corporate outing takes the space of several bags. If the group is traveling with oversized items, state that with the trip details so the right coach is matched to the load.
Charter Bus Service in Aurora, Colorado
The short answer: any group that needs to get somewhere together. The real list covers a lot of ground. Airport transfers to and from Denver International Airport (DEN) are one of the most common requests — DEN is about 25–35 minutes from central Aurora and is the 3rd-busiest airport in the United States, with more than 80 million passengers a year.
Corporate travel and employee shuttles run between offices, the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center, the Colorado Convention Center, and the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. Weddings and private events need guest shuttles between hotel blocks and venues. Concert and sporting event groups head to Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Empower Field at Mile High, Ball Arena, and Coors Field.
School and church group trips, government and military moves, brewery and casino tours to Black Hawk or Cripple Creek, prom, and long-distance travel to Colorado ski resorts, Colorado Springs, or beyond — all of it is available through the network.

Aurora's calendar has several stretches where the whole metro market gets taken early. Prom season in April and May is the single tightest window for the Aurora area — Cherry Creek School District and Aurora Public Schools both schedule proms in this window, and buses book out three to six months ahead. Graduation weekends in May and June follow immediately after.
Broncos home Sundays from September through January pull demand across the metro eight times a season. Red Rocks concert nights from May through October are a consistent peak, especially on sold-out shows. The National Western Stock Show in January fills the Denver metro with visitors for two weeks.
New Year's Eve and Halloween are the busiest party bus nights of the year. For any of those dates, book well ahead — and for everything else, submit the request even on short notice, because the network has more options than any one operator.
Planning Your Aurora, Colorado Charter Bus Trip
The primary airport for Aurora is Denver International Airport (DEN) (8500 Peña Blvd, Denver, CO 80249), about 25–35 minutes from central Aurora via I-70 E or E-470 (roughly 25 miles). DEN is the 3rd-busiest airport in North America and the one most Aurora groups fly into and out of. Centennial Airport (APA) (7800 S Peoria St, Englewood, CO 80112), about 20–25 minutes from Aurora via E-470, handles general aviation and private arrivals.
For airport pickups, charter buses at DEN pick up from Level 5 of the Jeppesen Terminal, following the airport's own guidelines. Have the group assembled with all luggage before calling the bus forward, since commercial vehicles cannot idle at the curb.
The major venues in and around Aurora are all covered. Empower Field at Mile High (1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204) is home to the Denver Broncos; bus drop-off is on Federal Boulevard and Bryant Street, with bus and oversized vehicle parking coordinated in advance through the stadium's event parking office. Ball Arena (1000 Chopper Cir, Denver, CO 80204) hosts the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets; buses use the commercial vehicle zone on Auraria Pkwy and Chopper Circle.
Coors Field (2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205) is home to the Colorado Rockies; buses use the Wazee Street and Blake Street corridor. Dick's Sporting Goods Park (6000 Victory Way, Commerce City, CO 80022) hosts the Colorado Rapids. Traffic patterns change significantly around all of these venues on event nights, so build in extra time — especially on Broncos Sundays, when I-70 and I-25 back up for miles.
The major convention and event venues in the region are all reachable. The Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center (6700 N Gaylord Rockies Blvd, Aurora, CO 80019) is right in Aurora — more than 500,000 square feet of meeting space and one of the largest convention hotels in the Mountain West, with bus drop-off at the main porte cochère and motorcoach staging on the north side of the property. The Colorado Convention Center (700 14th St, Denver, CO 80202), about 25–35 minutes from Aurora, hosts major trade shows and conferences year-round, with bus drop-off on 14th Street.
The National Western Complex (4655 Humboldt St, Denver, CO 80216) hosts the National Western Stock Show each January. Stanley Marketplace (2501 Dallas St, Aurora, CO 80010) and Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum (7711 E Academy Blvd, Aurora, CO 80230) are popular Aurora event spaces for corporate gatherings and private events. For repeat hotel-to-venue shuttles, lay out the full schedule with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. Aurora and the surrounding metro have a wide range of venues, from the grand ballrooms of the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center to the hangar setting of Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum. Farther out, Spruce Mountain Ranch (11475 S Perry Park Rd, Larkspur, CO 80118) and Chatfield Farms (8500 W Deer Creek Canyon Rd, Littleton, CO 80128) draw Aurora wedding parties willing to make the drive.
The most common setup is a guest shuttle looping between a hotel block and the venue — give the exact venue address with the request so the right vehicle is matched to the route.
Aurora's school districts and campuses are all covered. Aurora Public Schools serves more than 38,000 students across 58 schools, including Hinkley High School (1250 Chambers Rd, Aurora, CO 80011), Rangeview High School (17599 E Iliff Ave, Aurora, CO 80013), and Vista Peak Preparatory (24 Telluride St, Aurora, CO 80011). Cherry Creek School District serves large portions of Aurora, including Overland High School (12400 E Jewell Ave, Aurora, CO 80012), Cherokee Trail High School (25901 E Arapahoe Rd, Aurora, CO 80016), and Eaglecrest High School (5100 S Picadilly St, Aurora, CO 80015).
The Community College of Aurora (16000 E CentreTech Pkwy, Aurora, CO 80011) and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (13001 E 17th Pl, Aurora, CO 80045) are the main higher-education campuses in the city. Field trips and team travel are usually pickups at the school or campus itself; include the exact headcount plus any accessibility needs with the request.
Aurora has a great starting point right in the city. Dry Dock Brewing Company has two Aurora locations: the original South Dock (15120 E Hampden Ave, Aurora, CO 80014) and the North Dock (2801 Tower Rd, Aurora, CO 80011), a natural first-and-last stop on any Aurora brewery loop. From there, the Denver craft beer scene is about 25–30 minutes away — Great Divide Brewing (2201 Arapahoe St, Denver, CO 80205) and Bierstadt Lagerhaus (2875 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205) in the RiNo district are both popular group stops.
For casinos, Colorado's gaming towns are about 60–75 minutes from Aurora: Ameristar Casino Black Hawk (111 Richman St, Black Hawk, CO 80422) and Monarch Casino Black Hawk (488 Main St, Black Hawk, CO 80422) are the largest in Black Hawk. Cripple Creek is about 1.5–2 hours south via US-24. For a multi-stop brewery or casino loop, list the stops and how long the group plans to stay at each one so the hours come back priced correctly.
Yes — long-distance trips from Aurora are a regular part of what the network handles. Popular destinations include Colorado Springs (about 70 miles south via I-25; 1–1.5 hours) for the Air Force Academy, Garden of the Gods, and Pikes Peak. Breckenridge (about 80 miles southwest via I-70 and CO-9; 1.5–2 hours) and Vail (about 100 miles west via I-70; 1.5–2 hours, longer in ski season) are the top ski resort runs.
Rocky Mountain National Park is about 80 miles northwest (1.5–2 hours). Further out, Las Vegas is about 750 miles southwest (10–11 hours) and Salt Lake City is about 525 miles west (7–8 hours). Long-distance trips are usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day trip rather than by the hour, and an overnight itinerary should be laid out in full with the request so it comes back correctly priced and structured.
