What is a Charter Bus Service?

A charter bus is a private vehicle rental that groups can use for safe, convenient transportation to any destination. When you charter a Royal Star Hawaii bus, your group can customize your itinerary and we’re happy to accommodate your needs. Our charter buses and vans have professional drivers, storage space, and other fantastic amenities. Some buses also have restrooms onboard.

Most charter bus services pick up passengers from convenient locations, including hotels, airports, schools, and office buildings. We also take guests to specific locations, such as a wedding or performance venue, athletic competitions, and even on sightseeing tours.

Our charter buses are a safe, clean, and economical way to travel as a group, whether you’re going a short distance or enjoying a day-long sightseeing tour. These modern buses are a comfortable, efficient, stress-free way to transport groups to any destination on Oahu. And if you have special needs – like requiring wheelchair accessibility, or Driver Guide Services to narrate your tour – Royal Star Hawaii can expertly accommodate these requests.
