Bus and Coach Fleet in Sydney: Minibus to 62 Seat Coach Hire

Sydney Charter Bus Australia runs its own bus fleet, from 12 seat minibuses for small corporate groups through to 62 seat HI-CAP coaches for large school and event movements. We have been a direct operator since 2003, 100% Australian owned, with no brokers between you and the people who drive and maintain the vehicles. Every booking comes with a professional driver, and every vehicle operates under NSW Bus Operator Accreditation No. 39461. Use the guide below to compare minibus hire and luxury coach hire in Sydney, then open the detail page for the size that suits your group.

Our Fleet at a Glance

Seat numbers below are passenger seats. All vehicles are hired with a driver; we do not offer self drive, dry hire or rental.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Start with your passenger count, then think about luggage, access and the kind of trip. A group of 18 heading to the Hunter Valley will enjoy the low backed seats and social layout of a Toyota Coaster, while 18 delegates with suitcases on an airport run may be better in a coach with an underfloor hold. Narrow streets, low clearances and tight venue driveways can rule out a full size coach, so a 12 seat minibus running a short shuttle loop is sometimes the smarter choice.

For bigger numbers, compare one large coach against two smaller vehicles. A single 57 or 62 seat coach keeps the group together and simplifies timing, while two midi coaches can split pick ups between suburbs. Our guide to choosing the right vehicle for bus hire in Sydney walks through these trade offs in more detail, and our bus hire costs guide explains how quotes are worked out. Quotes are priced per vehicle, depot to depot, and tolls are charged at cost at Class B heavy vehicle rates.

Features Common to Every Vehicle

• Air conditioning throughout the cabin, summer and winter.
• Professional drivers holding a NSW Driver Authority, with Working With Children Checks for school work. Our fatigue policy limits driving to 3 hours before a 20 minute break.

Fleet FAQs

What is the smallest bus I can hire?

Our smallest vehicle is the 12 seat minibus, a Toyota Hiace or Mercedes Sprinter. It suits small corporate groups, wedding parties and venues that larger buses cannot reach.

What is the largest coach in your fleet?

The 62 seat HI-CAP coach. For groups larger than 62 we can supply several coaches and coordinate them as one booking.

Can I request a specific make or model?

You can tell us your preference when you quote. We allocate by seat size, and we will confirm the vehicle type with your booking.

Do your coaches have toilets?

Some larger coaches have an onboard toilet, but not all. If you need one, ask when you request your quote and we will advise availability.

Can I hire a bus without a driver?

No. Every vehicle comes with one of our drivers. We do not offer self drive, dry hire or rental.
