With Southjordancharterbuscompany.com, you fill out one form—or make one call to 385-541-9460—and get more options and more price points than you would ever turn up by reaching out to a single local operator.

An independently owned transportation company serving South Jordan and the Salt Lake Valley. Once you fill out the quote form, you are taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip—the size, the amenities, the price point that works for your group. What you are choosing there is a vehicle, not picking a company off a list.
The transportation company confirmed to your booking is communicated to you after the reservation is made.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page with your trip details—or call 385-541-9460 if you would rather walk through it with someone—and you are taken straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company works with a network of operators serving the South Jordan area. Right there on their site, you see different buses, prices, and vehicle details for your trip, and you book the vehicle you want directly online.
What you are choosing at that step is a vehicle and a price, not a company.
The basics are your pickup city, where the group is going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you give—your specific stops, 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 the match you find. A complete itinerary gets a complete price.
Right away—there is no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form, you go straight to the search results page and see quotes on the national booking company's website. You can compare vehicles and pricing immediately and book online in minutes.
If you would rather talk through the trip with someone first, call 385-541-9460 any time.
Earlier is better for a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type should be locked in further out. That said, because Southjordancharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the South Jordan area—not 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.
Whether your trip is three months out or three days out, it is always worth submitting the request or calling 385-541-9460 to see what is available.
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 for events where the schedule is flexible or the group is making several stops. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another.
A round trip brings everyone back to the starting point. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several destinations in sequence—a brewery loop, a wedding weekend shuttle, a stadium run with a pregame stop. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself. If your itinerary has multiple stops or runs overnight, lay it out in full when you submit the request so the quote 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 planning ranges, not a single flat rate—pricing is not one size fits all, and a number of things move the quote up or down. The range is a starting point, not your price.
The fastest way to see what your specific South Jordan trip costs is to fill out the form and get pricing in seconds on the results page. Or call 385-541-9460—going through the trip with someone can surface better pricing and packages than you would find searching on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours—say, a round-trip shuttle from South Jordan to America First Field (9256 S State St, Sandy, UT 84070) for a Real Salt Lake match—is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance, roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark or heading well out of the Salt Lake Valley, may carry a per-mile charge instead.
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. Submitting your actual itinerary is what determines which structure applies to your trip.
The type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that particular date is locally all move the price. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday; daytime trips price lower than those same evenings. Booking the bus size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity.
And grouping your riders into one or two pickup points in South Jordan—rather than five separate stops spread across the southwest valley—keeps the hours on the clock shorter and the price lower. Dates like prom weekends at Bingham and Herriman high schools, Utah Jazz playoff runs, and Real Salt Lake home stretches at nearby America First Field are busy across the whole local market; booking those dates earlier is one of the most direct ways to get better pricing and more vehicle options.
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, its own stops—rather than riding a fixed public route. 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.
Outside, a charter bus is a full-size coach body with high windows running the length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the lower 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 arrives will not always look the same. Popular makes include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45, all of which share the same tall, wide-body silhouette.
Inside, you find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle. Seat fabric is cloth or leather depending on the make and model. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin, and a restroom sits toward the rear.
The interior is taller and wider than most people expect the first time they board one.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead and undercarriage storage, WiFi, power outlets, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may include any or all of those depending on the make, model, and specific vehicle—never every coach carries every option, and what a given bus is equipped with is confirmed during booking. If there are specific amenities your group needs, note them with your trip details when you submit the form so the results that come back are matched to what the group actually requires.
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 also seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach: extra legroom takes seats out, and a wheelchair position does the same.
Because Southjordancharterbuscompany.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 385-541-9460 if the group needs a specific passenger 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, raising them a few inches for a better sightline down the aisle.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. If you are trying to picture it, that is roughly three cars parked end to end. Shorter coaches exist—most commonly around 35 feet—but the 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle.
That length matters if you are thinking about a venue with a tight approach road or a narrow canyon route, like the road up to La Caille (9565 Wasatch Blvd, Sandy, UT 84092), where a smaller vehicle is often the more practical choice.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design clearances for 12 feet. If you are checking whether one fits somewhere—a parking structure, an underpass, a covered entry—that is the number to work from. A little taller than the first floor of a house is a reasonable way to picture it.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. One point that matters: 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. The other thing worth knowing before the trip: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is designed for light use across a full coach—phones, messaging, checking email, browsing.
It is not built for fifty or sixty people doing heavy data work at the same time. If WiFi is important for your group, note it with your trip details when you submit the form so the results that come back include vehicles equipped for it.
Yes—an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, located toward the rear of the coach. It is there so the group does not have to stop, and on a longer run—say, the roughly four-hour drive from South Jordan down I-15 to St. George—the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way. Note it with your trip details if it matters for your group, since amenities may vary by vehicle.
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 it means practically: a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run, like the roughly six-hour drive to Las Vegas or the seven-plus hours to Denver.
Note it with your trip details if the group needs it.
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 exterior. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks.
What that means for your group: across a full 56-passenger load, it works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead. In practice, that is about one checked-size bag per person below and one small carry-on above—which is the right expectation to set before the trip.
A few things change it. A coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space. Bulky gear—instruments, sports equipment, event supplies, ski bags for a Park City run—takes the space of several standard bags.
If the group is carrying anything oversized or unusually heavy, state it with the trip details when you submit the form so the right coach is matched to what the group is actually bringing.

The dates that fill the local market fastest are prom weekends in April and May for Jordan School District schools—Bingham, Herriman, Riverton, and Copper Hills—followed by graduation season in May and June.

Book well ahead for those weekends—and on short notice, submit the request anyway, because the network covers more ground than any single operator.
Planning Your South Jordan, Utah Charter Bus Trip
The network serves both airports within range of South Jordan. Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) is the primary hub, about 22 miles north of South Jordan via I-15—roughly 25 to 35 minutes depending on traffic. It is served by Delta, United, Southwest, American, Alaska, and others, and handles the overwhelming majority of regional air travel.
Provo Airport (PVU) (1331 S Sky Way, Provo, UT 84601) is a smaller regional option about 42 miles south, roughly 45 to 55 minutes via I-15.
For airport pickups, the coach meets the group outside the terminal at the spot that airport designates for buses and commercial vehicles, following that airport's own ground transportation guidelines. Have the group gathered and ready before calling the bus forward—that keeps the pickup clean and on schedule.
The network serves the full range of venues across the Salt Lake Valley. America First Field, home of Real Salt Lake (MLS) and the Utah Royals (NWSL), is the closest major stadium to South Jordan at roughly 10 to 12 minutes. Delta Center (301 W South Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84101) hosts Utah Jazz NBA games and Utah Hockey Club NHL games about 25 minutes north.
Rice-Eccles Stadium (451 S 1400 E, Salt Lake City, UT 84112) holds Utah Utes football and major concerts at a capacity of 51,444. Utah Motorsports Campus (2901 N Sheep Lane, Tooele, UT 84074) is roughly 45 minutes west for motorsports events.
Traffic patterns change significantly around all of these venues on event nights—build in extra time, especially for Delta Center events with I-15 congestion heading north. Bus drop-off and staging areas vary by venue; the booking handles those logistics for your specific event.
The network serves the major convention and expo facilities in the region. Salt Palace Convention Center (100 S West Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84101) is one of the Mountain West's largest convention facilities at 515,000 square feet, about 25 minutes north of South Jordan. Mountain America Exposition Center (9575 S State St, Sandy, UT 84070) is one of the closest large event venues to South Jordan at roughly 10 minutes, hosting trade shows, consumer expos, and large corporate events.
Thanksgiving Point (3003 N Thanksgiving Way, Lehi, UT 84043) is a major event campus about 20 to 25 minutes south, with multiple venues across the property.
Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main guest entrance. If you are running a repeat hotel-to-venue shuttle—say, between a South Jordan hotel block and a multi-day conference at the Salt Palace—lay out the full schedule with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes—any wedding venue in the area. La Caille is one of Utah's most celebrated wedding estates, tucked into the foothills near Little Cottonwood Canyon about 15 minutes from South Jordan—the winding approach road makes a smaller minibus the more practical choice for shuttling guests. Thanksgiving Point Ashton Gardens offers 55 acres of manicured gardens about 20 to 25 minutes south, with a large campus that accommodates coaches easily.
The View Event Venue (11265 S District Dr, South Jordan, UT 84095) is a local South Jordan venue. Red Butte Garden (300 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84108) is a popular outdoor setting about 30 minutes north.
The most common wedding setup is shuttling guests between a hotel block and the venue so nobody has to drive or hunt for parking. Give the exact venue address with your request so the right vehicle is matched to the route and the road.
The network serves schools and campuses throughout the area. In South Jordan and the immediate surrounding communities, Jordan School District schools include Bingham High School (2160 W South Jordan Pkwy, South Jordan, UT 84095), Herriman High School (11917 S Mustang Trail Way, Herriman, UT 84096), and Riverton High School (12476 S Silverwolf Way, Riverton, UT 84065). For higher education, the network reaches University of Utah (201 Presidents Cir, Salt Lake City, UT 84112), Utah Valley University (800 W University Pkwy, Orem, UT 84058), and Salt Lake Community College (4600 S Redwood Rd, Salt Lake City, UT 84123), among others.
Field trips and team travel typically pick up at the school or campus itself. Include the exact headcount, any chaperone needs, and any accessibility requirements with the request so the right bus is matched to the group.
The network handles brewery and distillery tours, nightlife shuttles, and multi-stop loops across the region. The Salt Lake craft beer scene is concentrated about 20 to 25 minutes north: Bohemian Brewery (94 E Fort Union Blvd, Midvale, UT 84047) is the closest at roughly 15 minutes, followed by Uinta Brewing (1722 S Fremont Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84104), Epic Brewing (825 S State St, Salt Lake City, UT 84111), Squatters Pub Brewery (147 W Broadway, Salt Lake City, UT 84101), and Proper Brewing Co. (857 S Main St, Salt Lake City, UT 84101). Waterpocket Distillery (1245 E 3300 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84106) rounds out a spirits stop.
For a longer day trip, High West Distillery (703 Park Ave, Park City, UT 84060) is about 45 to 50 minutes east—a popular group destination.
A multi-stop tour is timed by how long the group stays at each location. List your stops and how long you plan to spend at each one when you submit the request—that is what gets the hours right and the price accurate.
Yes—long-distance trips are a regular part of what the network handles. From South Jordan, groups commonly travel to Las Vegas, NV (approximately 420 miles south via I-15, roughly 6 to 6.5 hours), Denver, CO (approximately 525 miles east via I-70, roughly 7.5 to 8 hours), Park City, UT (approximately 35 to 40 miles east, roughly 45 to 55 minutes via I-215 and US-40), St. George, UT (approximately 300 miles south via I-15, roughly 4 hours, and the gateway to Zion National Park), Moab, UT (approximately 235 miles southeast, roughly 3.5 hours), and Provo and BYU (approximately 42 miles south, roughly 45 to 55 minutes).
A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day package rather than by the hour. If the trip runs overnight, lay out the full itinerary—all stops, overnight locations, and return timing—with the request so it comes back priced correctly. Call 385-541-9460 for any long-distance itinerary that needs to be built out in detail.
