No — Wichitafallscharterbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. In practical terms, that means you come here to see your options: you enter your trip details, compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving Wichita Falls, and book the bus that fits your group. The transportation itself is carried out by those independent companies. Wichitafallscharterbuscompany.com makes finding the right bus fast and easy; the companies in the network are the ones who get your group there.
When you search on your own, you call one company, find out what they have, and either take it or start over. With Wichitafallscharterbuscompany.com, you fill out one form — or make one call to 940-332-1150 — and immediately see vehicles and price points from a whole network of providers serving Wichita Falls. More options, different price points, and no time spent chasing callbacks.
The network is competing for your booking, which means you are in a much better position than if you reached out to a single local operator and took whatever they offered.
An independently owned transportation company serving the Wichita Falls area. Once you fill out a quote, you are taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a package, not a company off a list.
The transportation company assigned to your booking is confirmed to you once the booking is complete, and they handle everything from there.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the short form on this page — your pickup city, destination, date, group size, and trip times — or call 940-332-1150 and go through it with someone. Either way, you are taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independently owned operators serving the Wichita Falls area, and their site shows you the available vehicles and pricing for your specific trip.
You choose the vehicle and the package that works for your group and book it directly on their website, right then.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That is enough to get started. The more detail you add — your stops, exact start and end times, any luggage or oversized gear, and the amenities the group needs — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better you can match the vehicle to the trip.
A complete itinerary gets you a price you can actually plan around.
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 available vehicles and pricing on the booking company's website. You are not waiting on an email or a return call; the options are in front of you immediately.
If you would rather talk through the trip with someone first, call 940-332-1150 and a live agent will walk you through it.
Earlier is always better for a popular date, and a specific vehicle or a large group goes even further ahead. That said, because Wichitafallscharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving Wichita Falls rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — that is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no. Submit the request or call 940-332-1150 even on short notice.
For the busiest dates in Wichita Falls — Hotter'N Hell Hundred weekend in late August, prom weekends in April and May, and graduation in mid-May — book as early as you can.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time, which works well when the schedule is not fixed or the group is moving between several stops. A one-way transfer moves everyone from one place to another.
A round trip brings them back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a planned route with several stops along the way — a brewery crawl, a wedding shuttle loop, a team road trip with a midpoint. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a long-distance group travel or an overnight event.
Which format fits comes down to your trip, and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full when you submit the request so it comes back timed and 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 ranges — and they are a starting point, not your price. The type of bus, the day of the week, the distance, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all move the number.
The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and get pricing for your actual date in seconds. Or call 940-332-1150 — going through the trip with someone can surface better packages and pricing 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 Wichita Falls area toward Dallas/Fort Worth, Oklahoma City, or beyond — may carry a per-mile charge instead of an hourly one.
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. Which structure applies is determined by the actual trip you submit — enter your details and the pricing that comes back reflects what fits your itinerary.
The type and size of bus, how long it is booked, the date and day of the week, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that particular date is in Wichita Falls all move the price. On the reader's side: Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, and daytime trips price lower than those same evenings. Booking the bus size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity.
Grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock. In Wichita Falls specifically, late August is the tightest stretch of the year because Hotter'N Hell Hundred and the North Texas State Fair both land in the same window — if your date falls there, earlier is cheaper. Submit the full trip or call 940-332-1150 to see what comes back for your specific date.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule — rather than riding a fixed public line. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a standard full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. The group has the whole coach to themselves for the duration of the trip.
On the outside, a full-size charter bus is a long, high-sided coach with large windows running the length of the body and luggage bay doors along the lower panel on both sides. The exterior finish is usually 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 on the road include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45, all of which share the same tall, wide, full-length coach profile.
Inside, the seating is forward-facing in pairs on either side of a center aisle, finished in cloth or leather depending on the make and model. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin. Toward the rear there is an onboard restroom.
The interior is climate-controlled, and the headroom is enough to walk the aisle standing upright.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, an onboard restroom, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features vary by make, model, and vehicle — no two coaches are identical — so use "may include" as the right framing until the specific vehicle is confirmed during booking. If there are amenities the group needs, note them when you submit the trip details; that narrows which vehicles come back to the ones that are actually equipped 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.
The count changes on the same coach when extra legroom is added or a wheelchair position is included — each one takes seats out. Because Wichitafallscharterbuscompany.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 940-332-1150 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. The seating is forward-facing and paired, with one aisle running down the middle of the coach. 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.
Those are the figures for a standard full-size build.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. If you are working out whether one fits somewhere, the easiest comparison is roughly three cars parked end to end — that is the footprint you are planning around. Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and those are used when a smaller group does not need the full 56-passenger build.
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. If you are checking clearance somewhere — a parking garage, a covered entry, an overhead structure — that is the number to measure against. A useful comparison: a little taller than a single story of a house.
When a route passes under a structure with a posted clearance, the bus takes the route that clears it.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. One thing worth knowing before the trip: onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a specific vehicle has it varies. And the honest expectation on performance — because this is where groups sometimes get surprised — is that onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach.
Phones, messaging, and browsing work well; fifty or sixty people doing heavy video or data work at once is a different story. If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details when you submit the request, and the vehicles that come back will be the ones equipped for it.
Yes, an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach and is there so a group does not have to stop every hour — though on a long run the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops built in, because the onboard unit is a convenience, not a replacement for a proper break. If a restroom matters for the trip, note it with the 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 for the group: phones and laptops stay charged across a long run, which matters on a trip from Wichita Falls to Dallas/Fort Worth or further.
If the group needs outlets, note it with the trip details when you submit the request.
Yes, in two places — overhead parcel racks inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays 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.
That is the standard build. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear like instruments, sports equipment, event supplies, or large cases takes the space of several bags. If the group is traveling with oversized or specialty items, state what they are and how many when you submit the trip details — that is what gets the right coach matched to the group rather than finding out at the curb that the bays are full.

The single busiest transportation weekend in Wichita Falls is Hotter'N Hell Hundred, held the last full weekend of August (August 27–30, 2026) — 10,000 to 14,000 registered cyclists and huge numbers of spectators and support groups descend on the city, and the entire downtown and surrounding road network is heavily impacted. The North Texas State Fair & Rodeo at the Wichita Falls Fairgrounds runs the same general window in late August through early September, compressing demand further. Prom weekends across Wichita Falls High, Rider, Hirschi, and surrounding schools in April and May, MSU Texas commencement in mid-May, Oil Bowl game night at Memorial Stadium in fall, and New Year's Eve downtown all take vehicles early.
On those dates the whole local market books out fast — submit the request as soon as the date is set. Short-notice requests are still worth submitting, because the network covers more ground than any single operator.
Planning Your Wichita Falls, Texas Charter Bus Trip
The network serves both airports that Wichita Falls groups use. Wichita Falls Regional Airport (SPS) (4000 Armstrong Dr, Wichita Falls, TX 76305) is the local airport, about 10 to 12 minutes from downtown, with American Eagle regional service connecting to Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW). For most groups flying in or out of a major hub, DFW (2400 Aviation Dr, DFW Airport, TX 75261) is the destination — approximately 130 miles south via US-287, about a 2-hour drive.
Dallas Love Field (DAL) is an alternative for Southwest travelers, roughly 2 hours 15 minutes from Wichita Falls. For any airport pickup, the bus 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.
The network serves all the major venues in the area. Kay Yeager Coliseum at the MPEC (1000 5th St, Wichita Falls, TX 76301) is home to the Wichita Falls Wildcats hockey team and hosts concerts and rodeos throughout the year; bus drop-off runs on 5th Street at the main entrance, with staging in the adjacent MPEC lots. Memorial Stadium (1500 Broad St, Wichita Falls, TX 76301) hosts the annual Oil Bowl rivalry between Wichita Falls High and Rider High — one of the most-attended high school football games in Texas — along with other WFISD events; buses drop on Broad Street and stage on nearby side streets.
MSU Texas athletics at D.L. Ligon Coliseum and Memorial Stadium on campus (3410 Taft Blvd, Wichita Falls, TX 76308) serve Mustangs basketball and football. On event nights, traffic around Memorial Stadium and the MPEC changes significantly — build extra time into the pickup window.
The network serves the city's primary event and convention spaces. The MPEC Exhibit Hall is the city's main convention and trade show venue, hosting expos, gun shows, and large public events throughout the year; buses drop on 5th Street, with large adjacent lots for staging. The Wichita Falls Fairgrounds and Ray Clymer Exhibit Hall (2736 Midwestern Pkwy, Wichita Falls, TX 76308) host the North Texas State Fair & Rodeo and agricultural events, with open outer lots that accommodate bus staging.
The Kemp Center for the Arts (1300 Lamar St, Wichita Falls, TX 76301) and Memorial Auditorium (1300 7th St, Wichita Falls, TX 76301) serve arts events and performances. Large venues like the MPEC have designated bus loading areas separate from the main entrance — a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a 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. Real Wichita Falls venues the network serves include the Kell House Museum (900 Bluff St, Wichita Falls, TX 76301), a historic property built in 1908 and used for intimate ceremonies and receptions; River Bend Nature Center (2200 3rd St, Wichita Falls, TX 76301) for outdoor weddings; the Kemp Center for the Arts (1300 Lamar St) for receptions and events; Wichita Falls Country Club (4901 Country Club Dr) for private banquet receptions; and rural barn and ranch venues throughout Wichita County where guest parking is limited and a shuttle is the practical solution. For destination weddings, the network also serves nearby venues like Tanglewood Resort near Lake Texoma, about an hour and 15 minutes south.
The most common wedding setup is a hotel-block-to-venue shuttle loop; giving the exact venue address when you submit the request gets the right vehicle matched to the route.
The network serves all the major schools and campuses in the area. Midwestern State University (MSU Texas) is the city's four-year university; campus bus loading runs on Taft Blvd with designated visitor zones near the main entrance. Vernon College's Wichita Falls Campus (4105 Maplewood Ave) serves community college students.
The Wichita Falls Independent School District (WFISD) includes Wichita Falls High School (1 Coyote Dr), Rider High School (6100 McNiel Ave), Hirschi High School (3106 Borton St), and multiple middle and elementary schools. Notre Dame Catholic School (1400 Holt St) serves the private school community. Field trips and athletic team travel typically pick up at the school or campus itself; student trips should include the exact headcount, any chaperone count, and any accessibility needs with the request.
The network handles all of these. In Wichita Falls itself, Wichita Falls Brewing Company (701 Indiana Ave, Wichita Falls, TX 76301) is the city's craft brewery and a popular stop on downtown pub crawls. The downtown Scott Avenue corridor is the city's main nightlife district.
For a longer day trip, Grapevine, Texas — home to GrapeFest and multiple urban wineries — is about an hour and 45 minutes south via US-287, a common destination for wine tour groups from Wichita Falls. The biggest single casino destination from Wichita Falls is WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma — about 100 miles northeast via US-81, roughly 1 hour 45 minutes each way — one of the most-traveled group routes in the area. For a multi-stop brewery or winery loop, listing the stops and how long the group plans to stay at each one is what gets the hours right when the quote comes back.
Yes. Groups travel long distances from Wichita Falls regularly, and the network handles it. The most common destinations: Dallas/Fort Worth is about 130 miles south via US-287, roughly 2 hours — Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks, and Stars games, concerts, and DFW airport runs.
Oklahoma City is about 165 miles north on I-44, roughly 2 hours 30 minutes — Thunder games and concerts. Lubbock is about 175 miles southwest via US-82, roughly 2 hours 30 minutes — Texas Tech events. WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma is about 100 miles northeast, roughly 1 hour 45 minutes.
San Antonio is about 350 miles south, roughly 5 hours. Amarillo is about 230 miles west via US-287, roughly 3 hours. A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day package rather than by the hour — and an overnight trip needs the full itinerary laid out with the request so it comes back priced correctly.
