Shuttle Coach Rental with a Chauffeur: 22 to 35 Passengers
The vehicle that turns up twice, and then again at five.
Rows of seats for twenty-two to thirty-five, a bay underneath for the luggage and a uniformed chauffeur working to a written schedule. Conference blocks, hotel loops, sports teams and plant shifts all move on this one, and most of them move on it repeatedly.

The shuttle coach, at a glance
What it seats, where the bags go, who is driving and how a repeating movement is quoted. Anything the card leaves open is a question for a reservation coordinator.
- Passengers
- 22 to 35The band is real: coaches in this class differ, and a coordinator puts the right one against your headcount rather than rounding it.

What it is for
What a shuttle coach is really booked for
Four movements fill most of the shuttle calendar, and three of them happen more than once in the same day, which is the thing that separates this vehicle from every other one here.
A loop that repeats all day
A hotel to a venue and back, on a timetable an organizer can print. Written once, it runs to itself for the rest of the day without anybody making a phone call.
A conference block arriving
Delegates landing across an afternoon, collected in groups rather than one at a time, with their checked luggage in the bay.
A team and its equipment
Players, staff, kit bags and boxes on one vehicle, because a team that travels together is a team that arrives at the same minute and warms up on time.
A shift, a plant or a campus
The same movement at the same hour every working day, written as a schedule rather than as a reservation somebody has to remember to make.
We prefer 72 hours’ notice, but call anytime. Short-notice trips depend on availability.
Who books it
Who reserves the shuttle coach
Three desks keep these coaches moving. Each of them is buying the same thing, which is not a vehicle at all but a timetable somebody else is responsible for keeping.

The coach on a downtown street and at a door
Four frames of the shuttle work, which mostly happens in daylight and on a schedule somebody is already holding a printed copy of.
All of these are Executive Transportation coaches and crew. Seat counts and layouts differ inside the band above, so a coordinator confirms which coach is held for your date.

Where a headcount of thirty-five sits in the fleet
This is the top of the range, and it is the only vehicle here designed around a movement that happens more than once. Everything below it is held for an occasion or a run; this one is held for a timetable.
Past thirty-five the answer is a second coach on the same written schedule, which arrives with the first rather than after it. Ask on (217) 523-5466 what that looks like.
A group of twenty-five to thirty traveling light belongs on the limousine coach, and a party under twenty loads faster into the Sprinter Van than it does up a set of steps.
Send the headcount and the timetable and the right number of coaches comes back.
How it is priced
What a shuttle coach costs, and why a loop is quoted differently
A repeating movement is a block of hours with a vehicle inside it, quoted by the hour, which is why no rate is printed here. Three things set the hours.
The hours, because a loop is bought as one block
A shuttle that runs from seven in the morning to seven at night is quoted on those twelve hours rather than on the number of laps inside them, with the minimum stated up front, which is simpler to check against an invoice.
The date, and how many coaches it needs
One coach or two moves a group figure further than anything else does, and the headcount and the timetable decide it together. Two smaller movements sometimes need one vehicle where a single large movement needs two.
The schedule itself, and how firm it is
A written timetable prices cleanly. A day where the group decides on the morning what it wants is quoted as held hours instead, because the coach is standing there either way.
How a group figure is assembled is set out on the charter bus cost guide, and the single vehicle version is on the car service cost guide.
Popular runs
The runs a shuttle coach is booked for most
Between the loops, a shuttle coach spends its long days on six pairings. Each card opens the route page, where the distance and the clear road drive time are set out.
Boarding a full coach takes longer than filling a car, so an organizer is given a boarding time that already allows for it.
A pairing that is not listed is an ordinary booking too: any address to any field on the airport roster, quoted on the hours it takes, and a stadium or a plant gate is quoted exactly as a terminal is.
A timetable that repeats is written once and priced as one schedule.
Reserve the coach
Book the shuttle.
Send the headcount, the addresses and the hours it has to repeat between. What comes back is a written schedule, the number of coaches it takes and one figure.

What riders say
Organizers who needed a coach quickly
Executive Transportation saved the day after another bus company fell through last minute. Executive Transportation was incredibly responsive and was able to secure us a bus quickly. Our driver Andrew arrived on time and got us safely to and from our event.
Our group of 7 needed a ride from Chicago O’Hare to Springfield. The vehicle was clean and comfortable.
The scheduling process was seamless, and the timely pickup from Bloomington airport made my journey stress-free.
A movement that happens once, for a group that wants to arrive as one party, is the limousine coach rather than this: rows and a bay are the right answer only when there is luggage or a timetable involved.
A loop that runs every week rather than once belongs with shuttle services, where the schedule is set up a single time and repeats without being rebooked.
Shuttle coach questions
What organizers ask before booking a shuttle coach
Written for whoever owns the timetable. Every city page carries its own collection points.
How many passengers fit on a shuttle coach?
A shuttle coach from Executive Transportation carries 22 to 35 passengers in rows, with the luggage in a bay below the floor. The band is real rather than vague: coaches in this class differ, so a coordinator puts a specific one against your headcount when you book.
Compare every class on the fleet page.
Do you run a scheduled shuttle, or only private hire?
Both. Executive Transportation operates Amtrak’s connecting Thruway coach between Springfield, Peoria and Galesburg every day of the year, and the same dispatch and the same standards run the private charters. That public timetable is why a charter schedule is treated as a commitment.
Where does the luggage go on a shuttle coach?
In the bay under the floor, loaded by the chauffeur at the door before anybody climbs the steps. That is the practical difference between this and the limousine coach, and it is why teams, delegations and conference blocks with checked bags end up on this one.
Call (217) 523-5466 with the group and the bags.
Can I hire a shuttle coach without a driver?
No. Every vehicle Executive Transportation reserves comes with a uniformed chauffeur, and a coach of this size requires a licensed operator in any case. The chauffeur is briefed on the whole schedule rather than on the first movement of it.
Ask a coordinator at (217) 523-5466 how a shuttle day is run.
How much does a shuttle coach cost?
Executive Transportation quotes the coach and the schedule instead of publishing a rate. The coach and the chauffeur are quoted by the hour with a minimum stated up front, and the hours follow the timetable, the date and the number of coaches. One figure covers the coach and its chauffeur.
Can one coach run a loop all day?
Yes, and that is the most common shuttle booking of all. A written timetable, one vehicle, one chauffeur and a block of hours: the coach repeats the movement for as long as the schedule says, and nobody has to call between laps to arrange the next one.
What if we have more than thirty-five people?
A second coach runs the same written schedule, so the whole party still arrives together rather than in two waves. It is an ordinary arrangement for conference blocks and large wedding parties, and a coordinator will price one coach and two before you decide.

Reserve the shuttle coach
Three things organizers say after the first shuttle schedule runs.
The timetable stopped needing a person
Written once and handed to a chauffeur, a loop runs for twelve hours without the organizer checking where the vehicle is or apologizing to anybody waiting for it.
The luggage was never the problem
A bay under the floor takes what a group is actually carrying, so nobody spends the movement with a case between their feet or leaves one behind at the door.
One figure covered the whole day
The coach is quoted by the hour rather than by the lap, with the minimum stated up front, so a finance office sees one line and can check it against the schedule it already has.
