No — Auroracoachbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of bus companies serving the Aurora area, and the transportation itself is carried out by independently owned companies that operate in your area. Think of it as the fast way to see what's available and what it costs, all in one place, without picking up the phone six times.
You come here, fill out a form or call 720-499-0320, and head straight to a results page with many options.
When you search on your own, you call one company, get one price, and hope they have something available. With Auroracoachbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call 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 a whole network of providers is seeing your request rather than just one, you're in a much better position to find the right bus at the right price.
That's the time you get back.
An independently owned transportation company serving Aurora. Once you fill out a quote, you head over to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — what you're picking there is a vehicle and a price, not a company off a list. The transportation company assigned to the booking is confirmed to you after you book.
The platform works with a network of operators serving the Aurora area, so there's more than one vehicle and more than one option on the table.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the short form on this page or call 720-499-0320. As soon as you submit, you're taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website — that booking company partners with independent operators serving the Aurora area, and right there on their site you'll see available vehicles and pricing for your trip. What you're choosing is a vehicle and a price.
Book the one that works for your group directly on their website, and you're done.
Your pickup city, where you're going, how many people are coming, and how many hours you need the bus. That's enough to get started. The more detail you give — your stops, your 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 you can match the result to your actual trip.
More detail in means a better fit out.
Right away — there's no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form, you go straight to the search results page and see available vehicles and pricing on the booking company's website. no waiting until Monday morning. If you'd rather talk it through with someone first, call 720-499-0320 and a live agent will walk you through the options for your specific trip.
The earlier the better on a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type goes further ahead. That said, because Auroracoachbuscompany.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's the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no. Submit your request or call 720-499-0320 even on short notice.
The results page will show you what's available for your date, and you'll know immediately.
All of those can be requested. An hourly or as-directed booking keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time — useful when the schedule isn't fixed or you want the bus to stay with you all day. A one-way transfer moves your group from one place to another.
A round trip brings them back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way, like a brewery crawl or a wedding shuttle loop. 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 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, not invented numbers — but pricing is not one size fits all. Different packages and a number of factors move a quote up or down, so the range is a starting point rather than your price.
The fastest way to get a number for your actual trip is to fill out the form and see pricing in seconds on the results page. Or call 720-499-0320 — going through the trip with someone can turn up better pricing and packages than you'd find searching 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 Aurora area — 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, because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day that a flat daily rate is the more accurate structure. Which one applies to your trip is determined by the actual itinerary — submit the full route and timing and the results page will reflect it.
What moves the price: the type and size of bus, how long it's booked for, the day of the week and the date, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how busy that particular date is across the Aurora and Denver metro market. What you can actually do about it: Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, and daytime prices lower than those same nights. Booking the size your group actually needs beats over-booking capacity.
Grouping riders into one or two pickup points — say, one hotel near the Aurora Town Center rather than five separate addresses — cuts the hours on the clock and brings the quote down. And on dates like Broncos home Sundays or Red Rocks concert nights, the whole market tightens early, so moving fast on those dates is itself a way to get a better price.
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's built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle — keeping everyone together, on one itinerary, from the first pickup to the last drop-off. A standard full-size charter bus seats roughly 40 to 56 people.
On the outside: a full-size coach body with high windows running the length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the bottom skirt. 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 coach that shows up won't always look the same. On the inside: forward-facing seats in pairs on either side of a center aisle, with seat fabric in cloth or leather depending on the make and model.
Overhead racks run the full length of the coach. A restroom sits toward the rear. Makes like the MCI J4500, Van Hool CX45, and Prevost H3-45 are among the coaches you're likely to see — full-size, high-floor coaches built for long runs with a full group aboard.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage storage bays, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may vary by make, model, and operator — what's on a specific coach is confirmed during booking. If there are amenities your group needs, note them with the trip details when you submit your request; that narrows which vehicles come back to the ones that are actually set up for your group.
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 can be 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 or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total. Because Auroracoachbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what's available for your date — submit the trip or call 720-499-0320 if your 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. Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for a better sightline forward.
That's the standard layout on a full-size motorcoach.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms you can actually picture: roughly three cars parked end to end. That's the number to work with if you're checking whether a coach fits a specific lot, a loading area, or a venue entrance.
Shorter coaches exist — most commonly around 35 feet — and 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 overhead clearances for 12 feet. A real comparison: a little taller than a single story of a house. That's the figure to check against a parking garage or a covered venue entrance before the bus arrives.
If clearance is a concern at a specific location, note it when you submit the trip.
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: 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 when a coach does have WiFi, it runs off a cellular connection built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, browsing — not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy work at once.
If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details when you submit your request; that narrows the results to coaches that are actually set up for it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach, and it's there so the group doesn't have to stop every hour. On a long run from Aurora to Las Vegas or a ski trip out to Vail, the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way — the onboard restroom handles the gaps.
Features may vary by vehicle, so note it with your trip details if it matters for your group.
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. What that means practically: a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run from Aurora to Colorado Springs or out to the mountains.
Note it with the trip details if the group needs it and the results will reflect which coaches are equipped.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run inside the coach above the seats, and undercarriage baggage bays run underneath it along the bottom of the coach body. 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 instruments, ski equipment, sports bags, or event supplies takes the space of several bags. A group heading to Breckenridge for a ski weekend is going to load the bays differently than a corporate group heading downtown to the Colorado Convention Center.
State the luggage situation and any oversized items with the trip details when you submit your request so the right coach gets matched to your group.

Planning Your Aurora, Colorado Charter Bus Trip
Yes — and Denver International Airport (DEN) (8500 Peña Blvd, Denver, CO 80249) is Aurora's primary airport, approximately 14 to 17 miles northeast via E-470 or I-70 — a 20 to 35 minute drive off-peak, and 40 to 60 minutes during the morning or afternoon rush. DEN is the largest airport in the United States by land area, and charter buses follow DEN's own ground transportation guidelines: buses stage in the commercial vehicle staging area and pull to the designated charter and motorcoach curb on Level 5 (departures) for drop-off, and Level 4 (arrivals) for pickup at the commercial vehicle zones outside baggage claim. Colorado Springs Airport (COS) (7770 Milton E. Proby Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80916) is approximately 65 miles south, a 55 to 75 minute drive via I-25.
Have your group assembled and all luggage collected before calling the bus forward — that's what keeps an airport pickup moving cleanly.
Yes — and the Denver metro has one of the strongest sports markets in the country. Empower Field at Mile High (1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204) is home to the Denver Broncos, approximately 16 miles from Aurora; charter buses use the designated commercial vehicle drop-off on Bryant Street, and game-day road closures affect the Bryant and Federal Boulevard corridors, so building in extra time is essential. Ball Arena (1000 Chopper Circle, Denver, CO 80204) hosts the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche, approximately 17 miles away.
Coors Field (2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205) is home to the Colorado Rockies, with bus drop-off on Blake Street. Dick's Sporting Goods Park (6000 Victory Way, Commerce City, CO 80022) is home to the Colorado Rapids, approximately 14 miles north. And Red Rocks Amphitheatre (18300 W Alameda Pkwy, Morrison, CO 80465) is the iconic outdoor concert venue 35 miles west — charter buses use the designated motorcoach drop-off at the Top Circle Lot, and on sold-out nights the road up to Red Rocks backs up significantly, so arriving 90 minutes before showtime is the move.
Yes — and the Denver metro has major event infrastructure your group can reach easily from Aurora. The Colorado Convention Center (700 14th St, Denver, CO 80202) is approximately 16 miles west, with charter bus drop-off on 14th Street at the main entrance. The National Western Complex (4655 Humboldt St, Denver, CO 80216) hosts the National Western Stock Show each January — one of the largest livestock shows in the world — with charter bus access via the commercial vehicle entrance off Humboldt Street.
In Aurora itself, Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum (7711 E Academy Blvd, Aurora, CO 80230) and Stanley Marketplace (2501 Dallas St, Aurora, CO 80010) are major group and event destinations with bus access right on site. Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main entrance; a repeat shuttle between a hotel 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. Aurora and the surrounding metro have a wide range of venues, from the industrial-chic Hangar at Stanley Marketplace to hotel ballrooms at the Inverness Hotel & Conference Center (200 Inverness Dr W, Englewood, CO 80112), estate venues like Villa Parker (19130 E Mainstreet, Parker, CO 80138), and destinations further out like Chatfield Farms (8500 W Deer Creek Canyon Rd, Littleton, CO 80128) and Spruce Mountain Ranch (13000 Spruce Mountain Rd, Larkspur, CO 80118). The most common setup is shuttling guests between a hotel block and the venue — and giving the exact venue address with the request gets the right vehicle matched to the route.
Wedding season in Colorado runs May through October, with June through September the busiest stretch, so booking early on those dates is strongly advised.
Yes — and Aurora has a substantial educational footprint. Aurora Public Schools includes Aurora Central High School (11700 E 11th Ave), Hinkley High School (1250 Chambers Rd), and Rangeview High School (17599 E Iliff Ave), among others. The Cherry Creek School District serves portions of Aurora including Overland High School (12400 E Jewell Ave, Aurora, CO 80014).
At the college level, 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 both within Aurora. Field trips and team travel are usually pickups at the school or campus itself; campuses have designated bus loading zones, and student trips should include the exact headcount plus any chaperone or accessibility needs with the request.
Yes — and the options within reach of Aurora make for a strong itinerary. Dry Dock Brewing Company has two Aurora locations — South Dock at 15120 E Hampden Ave and North Dock at 2801 Tower Rd — making Aurora itself a starting point for a craft beer tour. From there, a group can roll into Denver's RiNo Art District (Brighton Blvd and Larimer St), home to dozens of craft breweries, bars, and restaurants, approximately 18 miles northwest.
For casinos, Black Hawk and Central City (Black Hawk, CO 80422) sit approximately 55 to 60 miles west via I-70 and US-6, a 60 to 80 minute drive — major casino-hotels like Ameristar and Isle Casino are there. Aurora's own Colfax Avenue corridor carries bars and nightlife venues that extend westward into Denver. A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group stays at each stop — list the stops and how long at each one when you submit the request and the hours will come back right.
Yes — long-distance trips are booked regularly from Aurora. Within Colorado, popular runs include Breckenridge (90 miles west via I-70/CO-9, 1.5 to 2 hours — longer in ski season), Vail (105 miles west via I-70, 1.5 to 2 hours), Colorado Springs (65 miles south via I-25, 55 to 75 minutes), and Boulder (45 miles northwest via US-36, 45 to 60 minutes). Further out: Salt Lake City is approximately 525 miles west, a 7.5 to 8.5 hour run; Las Vegas is approximately 750 miles southwest, 10 to 11 hours; Kansas City is approximately 600 miles east on I-70, 8.5 to 9.5 hours.
A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day trip rather than by the hour, and overnight trips need the full itinerary — stops, timing, and any overnight stays — laid out with the request so it comes back priced correctly.
