No — Westminstercoachbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of bus companies serving the Westminster, Colorado area, and the transportation itself is carried out by independently owned companies. In practical terms, that means you share your trip details once, see what's available across a whole network, and book the vehicle that fits your group — all in one place, without needing to track down individual operators yourself.
When you search on your own, you're calling companies one at a time, describing the same trip over and over, and hoping someone picks up. With Westminstercoachbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 720-452-7970 and instantly get more options and different price points than any single company can offer. You see vehicles and rates right away, and companies in the network are competing for the booking — which means better options for you.
It's your time, and this is a much better use of it!
An independently owned transportation company serving the Westminster area. Once you fill out a quote request, you're taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the price, the amenities. What you're selecting there is a vehicle and a price, not picking a company off a list.
The transportation company assigned to your booking is confirmed to you after you complete it on the booking platform's website.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this website — or call 720-452-7970 — with your trip details. You'll be taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independently owned operators serving the Westminster, Colorado area, and their results page shows you the vehicles and prices available for your specific trip.
What you're choosing there is a vehicle and a price. Select the one that works for your group and book it directly on their website — the whole thing takes minutes.
Your pickup city, where you're going, how many people are in your group, and how many hours you need the bus. That's enough to get started. The more detail you add — your stops, start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities you need on board — the more accurate your quote comes back and the better you can match a vehicle to your actual trip.
More detail means fewer surprises!
Right away — there's 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 immediately. no voicemail, no "we'll get back to you by end of day." If you'd rather talk it through with someone first, call 720-452-7970 any time and a live agent will walk you through your options.
The earlier the better for a popular date — and if your group is large or you need a specific vehicle, booking further out gives you the best selection. That said, because Westminstercoachbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Westminster area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable. That's the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no.
Submit your request or call 720-452-7970 even on short notice — you may be surprised what's available.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time — great when the schedule isn't fixed. A one-way transfer moves your group from one place to another.
A round trip brings everyone back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way, like a brewery crawl from Westminster through Denver's RiNo district. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a ski trip to Breckenridge or Vail.
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 planning ranges — but pricing is not one size fits all. The type and size of bus, the date, the distance, and how busy that weekend is locally all move the number.
The ranges are your starting point, not your final price. The fastest way to see what your actual trip costs is to fill out the form and get pricing in seconds — or call 720-452-7970, where going through the trip with someone can turn up better packages and pricing than you'd find navigating it alone.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours — say, a shuttle from Westminster to a Broncos game at Empower Field at Mile High (1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204) and back — is usually priced hourly. A trip that covers long distance, roughly past the 100- to 200-mile mark or heading well out of the 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, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Submit your actual trip details and that determines which structure applies.
The type and size of bus, how long it's booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all move the price. Here's 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 — a 56-passenger coach for 20 people costs more than a minibus for the same trip.
Grouping riders into one or two pickup points in Westminster instead of five separate stops cuts the hours on the clock. And for a high-demand date — Red Rocks concert season, a Broncos home game, or a prom weekend across the Westminster and Broomfield school districts — booking early is the single most effective thing you can do.
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 route. It's built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. The group goes where it needs to go, on the timeline it sets, without sharing the ride with strangers.
Outside, a charter bus is a full-size coach body — tall, with high windows running the length of the vehicle 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 from the outside. Inside, you'll find forward-facing seats in pairs on either side of a center aisle — cloth or leather depending on the make and model.
Overhead racks run the length of the cabin, and a restroom sits toward the rear. Popular full-size models include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45 — all roughly 45 feet long, all with the same basic layout, though the interior finish and equipment vary by vehicle.
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 include any or all of those — because amenities vary by make, model, and operator, a specific vehicle's equipment is confirmed during booking. If there's something your group needs on board, note it with your trip details when you submit the request, since that narrows which vehicles come back as options.
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, 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 or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total.
Because Westminstercoachbuscompany.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 720-452-7970 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, one aisle down the middle. That's the standard layout. 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.
Fourteen rows, two-and-two, center aisle — that's the picture for a standard full-size build.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms most people can picture — roughly three cars parked end to end. That's the number to have in mind if you're working out whether one fits somewhere, because that's almost always why people ask.
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 for 12 feet. A little taller than a single story of a house — that's the comparison that tends to click. If you're checking clearance at a parking structure, a venue entrance, or a low overpass on a mountain route, 12 feet is the number to measure against.
Use these figures exactly when you're planning the route.
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 by make, model, and operator. And on the performance side — 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 work simultaneously is a different story. If WiFi matters to your group, note it with your trip details when you submit the request, since that narrows which vehicles come back.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, located toward the rear of the coach. It's there so the group doesn't have to stop, and on a long run — say, the drive from Westminster to Vail or Breckenridge on a ski trip — that matters. The trip is still usually planned with real rest stops on longer hauls, but having the option on board is the point.
Features may vary by vehicle, so if an onboard restroom is a must for your group, note it with your 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 practice, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — a ski trip to Breckenridge, a long haul to Colorado Springs, a multi-day trip — without hunting for a plug at every stop.
If power at every seat matters to your group, note it with your trip details when you submit the request.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays run along the bottom of the vehicle 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 overhead — in practice, 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 the slopes with skis and boots and poles needs to state that with the trip details — it changes which coach is the right match.
State your luggage and any oversized items when you submit the request so the right vehicle comes back.
Charter Bus Service in Westminster, Colorado
Any group, any event — that's the short answer. The longer one: airport transfers to and from Denver International Airport (DEN) are one of the most common trips out of Westminster. Corporate travel and employee shuttles move teams between Westminster offices and downtown Denver or the Colorado Convention Center.
Weddings and private events need guest shuttles between hotel blocks and venues. Concerts at Red Rocks and sporting events at Empower Field and Ball Arena are big group travel days. School and church group trips, government and military moves, brewery and winery tours, prom, and long-distance travel to ski resorts, Colorado Springs, or beyond — it's all here.
Fill out one form or call 720-452-7970 and compare what's available for your specific trip!
Westminster sits at the center of a large coverage area — Denver, Boulder, Broomfield, Arvada, Thornton, Northglenn, Lakewood, Aurora, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, and communities throughout Adams, Jefferson, Boulder, and Broomfield Counties are all part of the network. Those are examples, not the complete list. If your route includes a city that isn't named here, enter the full pickup and drop-off details in the quote form or call 720-452-7970 — the network covers a wide area and the fastest way to confirm your specific route is to submit it.
A few dates fill the Westminster and Denver-area bus market faster than anything else. Red Rocks concert season (May through October) is the biggest — shows sell out months in advance and the bus market follows. Denver Broncos home games at Empower Field (eight Sundays, September through January) are close behind.
Prom season across Westminster, Broomfield, Arvada, and Thornton school districts (April and May) and graduation season (May and June) compete for the same vehicles on the same weekends. The National Western Stock Show in January fills downtown Denver. New Year's Eve goes fast every year.
For any of those dates, book as far ahead as you can — and for everything else, short-notice requests are still worth submitting, because the network is larger than any one operator's yard.
Planning Your Westminster, Colorado Charter Bus Trip
Yes — the primary airport serving Westminster is Denver International Airport (DEN) (8500 Peña Blvd, Denver, CO 80249), roughly 35 miles east of Westminster and about 35 to 50 minutes depending on traffic on Peña Boulevard and I-70. DEN is the large-hub commercial airport for the entire metro and handles the vast majority of group airport transfers. Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (BJC) (11755 Airport Way, Broomfield, CO 80021) is about 8 miles north of Westminster and serves private and corporate charter aircraft.
For DEN, the bus meets your group at the designated commercial vehicle area outside the terminal, following DEN's own ground transportation guidelines for buses and larger vehicles — your coordinator confirms the exact meeting point when the booking is set.
Yes — the major venues are all within easy range of Westminster. Empower Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Broncos, is about 14 miles southeast; buses drop off near Gate 1 on Bryant Street, with designated bus and RV parking in Lot H off Eliot Street. Ball Arena (1000 Chopper Circle, Denver, CO 80204), home of the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche, is the same distance.
Coors Field (2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205) hosts the Colorado Rockies. Red Rocks Amphitheatre (18300 W Alameda Pkwy, Morrison, CO 80465) is about 30 miles southwest, with designated bus parking in Lot 1 off Trading Post Road. Build extra time into any game-day or concert-day trip — traffic around these venues changes significantly on event days.
Yes — the Colorado Convention Center (700 14th St, Denver, CO 80202) is about 14 miles southeast and one of the largest convention facilities in the country; charter buses use the designated loading zone on 14th Street between California and Champa. The National Western Complex (4655 Humboldt St, Denver, CO 80216) hosts the National Western Stock Show every January — one of the biggest events in the Denver metro, with designated bus parking off Humboldt Street. Locally, the Westminster Promenade (10667 Westminster Blvd, Westminster, CO 80020) and the former Broomfield Event Center (11450 Broomfield Lane, Broomfield, CO 80021) hosted concerts, events, and gatherings.
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 area. Westminster and the surrounding communities have a strong selection: the Omni Interlocken Hotel (500 Interlocken Blvd, Broomfield, CO 80021) is a popular upscale option about 8 miles north, with buses using the main drive off Interlocken Blvd. The Westin Westminster (10600 Westminster Blvd, Westminster, CO 80020) handles events right in the city. Couples also regularly travel to mountain-view and estate venues like Crooked Willow Farms in Larkspur and Cielo at Castle Pines in Castle Rock, both about 45 miles south.
The most common setup is shuttling guests between a hotel block and the venue — give the exact venue address with the request and the right vehicle gets matched to the route. Peak wedding months in Colorado are June through September, so those weekends book out early!
Yes — Westminster Public Schools and Adams 12 Five Star Schools are the main local districts, with schools including Westminster High School (6933 Raleigh St, Westminster, CO 80030), Legacy High School (2701 W 136th Ave, Broomfield, CO 80023), and Horizon High School (5321 E 136th Ave, Thornton, CO 80602). Front Range Community College's Westminster Campus (3645 W 112th Ave, Westminster, CO 80031) is the main local college campus, with bus loading off W 112th Ave. University of Colorado Boulder (914 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80309) is about 22 miles northwest and a frequent group destination. Field trips and team travel are usually pickups at the school or campus itself — include the exact headcount plus any chaperone or accessibility needs with the request so the right vehicle comes back.
Yes — Westminster is well positioned for all of it. The Black Hawk and Central City casino corridor is about 45 miles west, roughly 50 to 60 minutes via US-6 and CO-119 through Clear Creek Canyon — the closest casino cluster to Westminster and a popular group destination. Denver's RiNo Art District and LoDo are about 14 miles southeast and packed with breweries, bars, and restaurants.
Craft brewery loops through Denver's Breckenridge Brewery (2220 Blake St), Odell Brewing (2945 Larimer St), and Stem Ciders (2811 Walnut St) are all within 15 miles. For a longer trip, Avery Brewing (4910 Nautilus Ct N, Boulder, CO 80301) and Twisted Pine (3201 Walnut St, Boulder, CO 80301) are about 20 miles northwest. A multi-stop brewery or casino route is timed by how long the group stays at each stop — list the stops and how long at each one with the request so the hours come back right.
Yes — long-distance trips are a big part of what the network handles from Westminster. Ski resort runs are the most common: Winter Park is about 70 miles west (~1.5 hours via US-40), Vail is about 100 miles west (~1.5 hours via I-70), and Breckenridge is about 110 miles southwest (~2 hours via I-70 and CO-9). Colorado Springs is 80 miles south (~1.25 hours via I-25).
Beyond Colorado: Salt Lake City is about 525 miles west (~7.5 hours), Las Vegas is about 750 miles southwest (~10.5 hours), and Kansas City is about 600 miles east (~8.5 hours via I-70). A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day booking rather than by the hour — and overnight trips need the full itinerary laid out with the request so the right vehicle and pricing come back. One note for ski trips: I-70 through the mountain corridor gets heavy on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings in season, so building in extra time on the departure end makes the trip a lot smoother!
