Bus Charter Services in Singapore

At A&S Transit, our bus rental services include a wide range of bus options to accommodate different group sizes and travel requirements. Our fleet includes:

• 10-Seater Mini Bus – Ideal for cosy family outings, small student groups, or transporting staff from smaller companies.
• 19-Seater Bus – A suitable choice for compact tours, team activities, or small company excursions.
• 40-Seater Bus – Our most versatile and commonly used option, perfect for corporate events, school trips, shuttle services, and general transport needs.
• 45-Seater Coach – Designed for larger groups that require spacious, comfortable seating for longer journeys or big events.
• Double Decker Bus (“People Mover Deluxe”) – Best for very large groups and high-volume transfers, equipped with convenient features such as USB charging ports and full-length glass panel windows along the staircase.

This diverse fleet ensures that no matter your group size or travel purpose, we can provide the right vehicle to meet your needs.

The standard seating capacity for the most common charter buses typically falls in the range of 40 to 45 passengers.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Full-size coach buses (used for long-distance travel or tours): Usually 40–45 seats.
• Mini-coaches (smaller groups, shorter trips): Typically 10–20 seats.
• Double-decker coaches (less common for charters, more for sightseeing): Can accommodate 70–80 passengers.

So, for most standard private bus services, you can expect around 45 seats as the norm.

Amenities differ from bus to bus, but many of our larger coaches come equipped with features such as reclining seats, air-conditioning, and spacious interiors. Our Double Decker Bus even includes USB charging ports and wide glass panel windows that run along the staircase for a more premium ride.

If you have specific requirements, such as Wi-Fi, additional luggage space, or a PA system, just let us know during booking and we’ll match you with the most suitable vehicle available.

No. Standing passengers are strictly not allowed on any of our bus charter services under LTA regulations. Every passenger must be seated throughout the journey.

If your group size exceeds the seating capacity of your selected bus, we will recommend a larger bus or an additional vehicle to ensure everyone travels safely and comfortably.

Our private charter bus rates are determined primarily by bus availability at the required time. Periods where bus supply is low, such as peak hours, school transport timings, early mornings, and late evenings, may result in higher rates. Other factors include trip duration, distance, and the type of vehicle selected.

We believe in transparent pricing, so once you share your itinerary with us, we’ll assess the details and provide a clear, accurate quotation.

In most cases, our bus rental quotations are all-inclusive, and you won’t need to worry about ERP or parking fees. However, certain locations, such as Sentosa, do impose their own vehicle entrance charges.

If your trip involves areas with special fees, we’ll always inform you in advance so you know exactly what to expect.

Yes, prices may increase during major festive seasons or large-scale events due to higher demand and limited availability. Periods such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, the December holidays, and the F1 Grand Prix typically see many advance bookings.

To secure the best rates and ensure availability, we recommend making your reservation as early as possible for peak dates.

Yes. Our minimum booking duration for hourly rentals is 4 hours. This helps us cover operational requirements such as driver allocation, vehicle preparation, and standby time.

If you only require a short point-to-point transfer, let us know and we will be able to offer a trip-based fare instead.

For safety and regulatory reasons, we are not allowed to take more passengers than the approved seating capacity of any bus. If your group size is larger than expected, we will recommend either upgrading to a bigger bus, such as our 40-seater, 45-seater, or Double Decker, or adding an additional vehicle.

This ensures your group travels safely, comfortably, and in full compliance with LTA regulations.

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly if you’re planning for a large group or requesting a specific bus type. Peak periods, such as school holidays, corporate event seasons, festive periods, F1 week, or major conferences, tend to be fully booked weeks in advance.

As a guide:

• Normal periods: 1–2 weeks in advance is usually sufficient.
• Large groups or multiple buses: 2–4 weeks ahead is ideal so we can reserve the right fleet.
• Peak seasons (CNY, Hari Raya, Christmas, F1, school reopening): Book 1–2 months early to secure your preferred timing.

Last-minute requests are still possible, but availability may be limited, and certain time slots (e.g., morning peak) fill up quickly.

Cancellation and amendment policies for private bus bookings vary depending on the booking type, trip duration, and operational requirements. At A&S Transit, we encourage customers to inform us as early as possible so that adjustments to manpower and vehicle allocation can be made without incurring extra charges.

Typical guidelines include:

• Amendments (time, route, pickup locations): Minor changes can usually be accommodated if notified in advance. Significant adjustments to routes or schedules may affect pricing, depending on availability and operational costs.
• Cancellations: To waive the booking charge, cancellation notice should be made at least 8 hours in advance. Cancellation fees may apply if the request is made closer to the charter date, as the bus and driver would already have been scheduled.

We provide the exact terms of our cancellation and amendment policy during booking confirmation to ensure transparency and avoid surprises before payment.

Due to hygiene reasons, we only allow plain water to be consumed onboard. Food, sweetened beverages, and snacks may spill, stain the seats, or attract pests, so they are not permitted.

Examples of not allowed items include:

• Bubble tea, coffee, soft drinks
• Chips, pastries, or snacks with crumbs
• Meals or takeaway containers

This ensures the bus stays clean and comfortable for all passengers throughout the day.

Our buses are equipped with standard safety features that meet LTA requirements, and our drivers are trained to follow strict safety protocols. Here’s what you can expect:

Safety Features:

Yes, you can specify almost any pickup or drop-off point islandwide. We try to accommodate as many locations as possible, including residential areas, event venues, business parks, schools, and recreational spots.

However, certain areas may have restrictions, such as:

• Narrow lanes or limited bus turning space
• No-stopping zones
• Loading bay or coach bay restrictions
• Event-day road closures

If your location falls under one of these categories, we’ll recommend the nearest safe and accessible alternative. For example, a nearby carpark entrance or a designated pickup point.

Our buses offer:

• Comfortable seating for extended travel

• USB ports on selected buses (e.g., Double Decker Bus)
