Charter Bus Hire Sydney

Private charters for small groups, with a driver

A Sunrise Tours charter is a vehicle and driver booked for your group alone, for as long as you need them. It suits days that do not fit a fixed tour: a family reunion that starts in three suburbs, a club outing with a long lunch, a corporate team moving between venues, or visitors who want to see Sydney on their own timetable.

Arranging a charter is simple. Send us the date, the pick-up points, the headcount and the times that matter, and our office replies by email with a suggested vehicle and a written quote. You can request a quote online at any time.

How a charter day runs

Early morning

The driver arrives at the first pick-up a few minutes before the agreed time. If you are collecting from several addresses, we set the order in advance so the run makes sense on the map.

Through the day

Between stops, the vehicle stays with your group. The driver waits nearby, moves the vehicle to a legal parking spot where needed and is ready when you are. If plans shift, talk to the driver; small changes within the booked hours are part of a private charter.

The trip home

We agree the return time and drop-off order when you book, so nobody is left wondering how they get home. Drop-offs can be at a single point or at each person’s door.

What groups book us for

• Weddings, with guests collected from hotels and returned after the reception.
• Corporate events, site visits and team days.
• Race days, concerts and sporting events, with a set return time.
• School and educational trips, with drivers who hold Working With Children Checks.
• Seniors groups, clubs and community outings.
• Sightseeing days around Sydney and private day trips beyond it.

Vehicles and pricing

Our charters run in 12 and 20 seat minibuses and 24 and 28 seat mini-coaches, all air-conditioned, with seatbelt-equipped vehicles confirmed on booking. We price by the vehicle and the hours it is needed, not per person. Quotes take into account the distance, the time of day and busy dates such as major public holidays. See the fleet page to compare sizes.

Drivers and accreditation

Every charter comes with a driver who holds a current NSW driver authority and a Working With Children Check. Sunrise Tours is an accredited NSW operator with public liability insurance, and certificates are available on request.
