No — Bedfordcharterbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. In practical terms, that means you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of bus companies serving the Bedford area, and the transportation itself is carried out by independently owned companies. You come here, fill out one form or make one call, and head over to a national booking platform where you find the bus that fits your trip.
Simple as that.
When you search on your own, you call one company, get one price, and either take it or start over. With Bedfordcharterbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 682-289-0110 and get more options and different price points than any single operator can offer. You see vehicles and rates quickly instead of chasing callbacks, and because multiple providers in the network are seeing your request, you get real competition working in your favor.
That is a lot of time saved for a form that takes about a minute to fill out.
An independently owned transportation company serving the Bedford area. Once you fill out a quote, you head over to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price point. What you are choosing there is a vehicle and a price, not picking a company off a list.
The transportation company assigned to the booking is confirmed to you after the booking is completed.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this site with your trip details, or call 682-289-0110. Either way, you go straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with different operators serving the Bedford area, and right there on their site you can see vehicles, pricing, and photos for your actual trip.
What you are choosing is a vehicle and a price — and you book it directly on their website, all in just minutes.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are in the group, and how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you give — your stops, start and end times, luggage, and any amenities the group needs — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the deal you can find. A complete request gets you a complete answer.
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 quotes on the booking company's website. Pricing for your actual trip is right there in seconds.
If you would rather go through it with someone, call 682-289-0110 and a live agent will walk you through the options.
The earlier the better for a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type is worth booking further ahead. That said, because Bedfordcharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Bedford area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — and that is a real advantage over calling a single company and being told no. Submit the request or call 682-289-0110 even on short notice.
The results page will show you what is available for your date, and you can go from there.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with the group for a block of time and works well for events where the schedule is flexible. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another.
A round trip brings everyone back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops — think a brewery loop through Fort Worth or a wedding-day shuttle between a hotel and a venue. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a group run down to San Antonio or Austin.
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 starting ranges, but pricing is not one size fits all — there are different packages and a number of things that move a quote, so the range is a starting point rather than your price. The fastest way to see what your actual trip costs is to fill out the form online and see pricing in seconds, or call 682-289-0110.
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 outside the DFW area to San Antonio, Austin, or Houston — 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, so fill out the form or call 682-289-0110 with your full itinerary.
The type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and the day of the week, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all move the quote. In the Bedford area, Cowboys home Sundays at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Rangers playoff runs at Globe Life Field, prom season across HEB ISD in April and May, and Fort Worth Stock Show weekends in January and February are among the dates when the whole DFW market gets taken early and pricing reflects that demand. On the practical side: Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, daytime prices lower than those same nights, booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity, and grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of several cuts the hours on the clock.
Fill out the form or call 682-289-0110 to see what fits your date and budget.
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 people depending on the make and model. The group goes where it needs to go, on its own timeline, without sharing the coach with the general public.
From the outside, a full-size charter bus is a large coach body with high windows running most of its length and a row of luggage bay doors along the bottom half. 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 will not always look the same. Inside, seats are arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle, facing forward, in cloth or leather depending on the make and model — an MCI J4500 typically runs plush high-back cloth, while a newer Prevost H3-45 may come in leather.
Overhead racks run the length of the cabin for bags and jackets, and a restroom sits toward the rear. The ceiling is high enough to walk the aisle without ducking.
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, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may vary by make, model, and the specific vehicle available for your trip — not every coach carries every option, and what a given bus is equipped with is confirmed during booking. If certain amenities matter to the group — WiFi for a corporate run, power outlets for a long haul — note them with the trip details so the right 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 configuration — extra legroom takes seats out, and a wheelchair position does the same. Because Bedfordcharterbuscompany.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 682-289-0110 if the group needs a specific capacity.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle. The layout is straightforward — forward-facing, paired seating, one aisle running down the middle. 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.
A 44-passenger 35-foot coach runs closer to 11 rows on the same layout.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms people can actually picture: roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the reason people ask — they are working out whether one fits somewhere, and 45 feet is the measurement to plan around.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and the 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle 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. A little taller than a single story of a house — which is the comparison that matters when a group is checking clearance at a parking garage or a covered drop-off. If the venue or garage has a clearance restriction, 12 feet is the number to check against.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. One point 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 expectation — onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach, phones, messaging, and browsing, not for a full load of passengers doing heavy work at once.
If the group needs it, note WiFi with the trip details when you fill out the form. That narrows which vehicles come back in the results.
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 every hour. On a longer run, say a haul from Bedford down to San Antonio or out to Austin, the trip is still usually 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 from Bedford to Houston or Dallas without anyone fighting over a single outlet.
If the group needs it, note it with the trip details so the right vehicles come back.
Yes — in two places. Inside the coach, overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin. Underneath it, undercarriage baggage bays run along the bottom of the coach on 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 — which in practice is about one checked-size bag each below plus one small carry-on above. A few things change 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 bags.
If the group is traveling with oversized items or a heavy luggage load — say, a band heading to a competition or a sports team with equipment — state that with the trip details so the right coach is matched to the group.
Charter Bus Service in Bedford, Texas
Just about any group that needs to move together! Airport transfers to and from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Dallas Love Field (DAL) are among the most common requests. Corporate travel and employee shuttles between offices, hotels, and convention centers are a natural fit.
Weddings and private events use shuttle buses to move guests between hotel blocks and venues. Concerts and sporting events at AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and Dickies Arena are popular game-day requests. School and church group trips, government and military moves, brewery and winery tours through Fort Worth and Grapevine, prom, and long-distance travel to Austin, San Antonio, and beyond are all served through the network.
Fill out the form or call 682-289-0110 and describe the trip — the results page will show what fits.
The network serves Bedford and the surrounding DFW Metroplex, including nearby cities like Hurst, Euless, Colleyville, Grapevine, Southlake, Arlington, Fort Worth, Dallas, Irving, and Keller. Those are examples, not the complete coverage area. Enter the full route or call 682-289-0110 to check a city not listed here.
A few dates fill the DFW market fast and are worth knowing before you plan. Cowboys home Sundays at AT&T Stadium in Arlington run September through January and pull heavy demand across the whole mid-cities corridor. Rangers playoff runs at Globe Life Field in October do the same.
Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, which runs mid-January through early February, books out Dickies Arena and the surrounding area for weeks. HEB ISD prom season at L.D. Bell High School and Trinity High School in April and May is one of the single busiest stretches for party buses and minibuses in the area. State Fair of Texas in Dallas runs late September through mid-October.
New Year's Eve and Fourth of July round out the calendar. Book those dates well ahead — and on short notice, it is still worth submitting the request, because the network is larger than any one operator's yard.
Planning Your Bedford, Texas Charter Bus Trip
The two airports serving Bedford are Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) (2400 Aviation Dr, DFW Airport, TX 75261), about 8 miles northwest with a typical drive of 15 to 25 minutes via TX-121, and Dallas Love Field (DAL) (8008 Herb Kelleher Way, Dallas, TX 75235), about 25 miles east with a 30 to 40 minute drive via TX-183. DFW currently operates five terminals (A through E), so the most important step is confirming the group's arrival terminal before pickup. At both airports, 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.
Have the group assembled with all luggage before calling the bus forward, and build in extra time for DFW during morning and evening peak traffic on TX-121.
The major venues in and around Bedford are well within reach. AT&T Stadium (1 AT&T Way, Arlington, TX 76011), home of the Dallas Cowboys, is about 10 miles southwest via TX-183 and 15 to 20 minutes off-peak — though roads around Collins Street and Randol Mill Road close and congest hours before Cowboys games and major concerts, so building in extra time is essential. Globe Life Field (734 Stadium Dr, Arlington, TX 76011), home of the Texas Rangers, sits right alongside it.
Dickies Arena (1911 Montgomery St, Fort Worth, TX 76107) is about 12 miles west for concerts, rodeo events, and NCAA action. Texas Motor Speedway (3545 Lone Star Cir, Fort Worth, TX 76177) is about 20 miles northwest for NASCAR weekends. American Airlines Center (2500 Victory Ave, Dallas, TX 75219) is about 22 miles east for Mavericks and Stars games.
Buses drop off at designated commercial vehicle zones at each venue, and game-day parking for oversized vehicles is arranged in advance — confirm current drop-off details with the venue before your event.
The major convention and event venues serving the Bedford area include the Fort Worth Convention Center (1201 Houston St, Fort Worth, TX 76102), about 15 miles west, which handles major trade shows and events alongside the adjacent Dickies Arena. The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center (650 S Griffin St, Dallas, TX 75202) is about 25 miles east for large-scale conventions and expos. The Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center (1501 Gaylord Trail, Grapevine, TX 76051) is just 8 miles north via TX-121 and hosts large corporate events and group gatherings year-round.
The Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas (500 W Las Colinas Blvd, Irving, TX 75039) is about 15 miles east. Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main entrance, and a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a convention center should have its full schedule laid out with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the Bedford area and across the DFW Metroplex. Venues popular with Bedford couples include the Ashton Depot (610 Main St, Fort Worth, TX 76102), a historic train depot in downtown Fort Worth about 15 miles west, and Thistle Hill (1509 Pennsylvania Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76104), a restored mansion venue in Fort Worth. Hotel ballrooms at properties like the Hilton Garden Inn Bedford (2203 Airport Fwy, Bedford, TX 76021) and Marriott properties in nearby Grapevine and Irving are also common.
The most common wedding setup is shuttling guests between a hotel room block and the venue, keeping everyone together and taking parking off everyone's plate. Giving the exact venue address with the request gets the right vehicle matched to the route — and if the group wants a specific exterior color for photos, note that too.
The network serves schools and campuses throughout the Bedford area. Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District (HEB ISD) covers Bedford, with high schools including L.D. Bell High School (1601 Brown Trail, Bedford, TX 76021) and Trinity High School (500 N Industrial Blvd, Euless, TX 76039). Nearby higher education includes Tarrant County College Northeast Campus (828 Harwood Rd, Hurst, TX 76054), University of Texas at Arlington (701 S Nedderman Dr, Arlington, TX 76019), and Texas Christian University (2800 S University Dr, Fort Worth, TX 76129).
Field trips and team travel are typically pickups at the school or campus itself, and campuses have designated bus loading zones. Student trips should include the exact headcount plus any chaperone or accessibility needs with the request.
The Bedford area puts a solid brewery and winery circuit within easy reach. In Fort Worth, about 14 to 15 miles west via TX-183, the stops include Rahr & Sons Brewing Company (701 Galveston Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76104), Martin House Brewing Company (220 S Sylvania Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76111), Panther Island Brewing (501 N Main St, Fort Worth, TX 76164), and HopFusion Ale Works (200 E Broadway Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76104). For wine, Grapevine is just 10 miles north via TX-121 and hosts Delaney Vineyards (2000 Champagne Blvd, Grapevine, TX 76051) and Cross Timbers Winery (805 N Dooley St, Grapevine, TX 76051), along with several tasting rooms in the historic downtown.
For nightlife, Sundance Square in Fort Worth and Deep Ellum in Dallas are the two most popular group destinations. A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group stays at each stop, so listing the stops and how long at each one gets the hours and the price right when you submit the request.
Yes — long-distance trips from Bedford are a regular part of what the network handles. Austin is about 195 miles south via I-35, roughly a 3-hour drive, and draws groups for University of Texas events, Austin City Limits, and Formula 1 at Circuit of the Americas in October. San Antonio is about 270 miles south, roughly 4 hours via I-35, for River Walk trips, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, and SeaWorld.
Houston is about 260 miles southeast, roughly 4 hours via I-45, for Astros games, Texans games, and Space Center Houston. Oklahoma City is about 205 miles north, roughly 3 hours via I-35. A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day trip rather than by the hour, and an overnight trip needs the full itinerary — stops, hotel, return timing — laid out with the request so it comes back priced correctly.
