About Big Bus Co

Big Bus Co is a private bus and coach charter company based at Revesby in south-west Sydney. The fleet runs to more than 15 vehicles and covers the full range of group sizes: 12-seat Toyota Commuters and Hiace vans at the small end, Toyota Coaster and Mitsubishi Rosa buses in the 19 to 25 seat range, and full-size Mercedes-Benz Volgren coaches seating 57 adults at the top. One of the coaches is configured for 82 children under 12, and one of the smaller buses is wheelchair accessible. This is charter rather than a fitted-out nightclub on wheels, though the company does market party hire and describes buses with disco lights, sound systems and music for private parties. The work it takes on covers Christmas parties, school formals, race days, hens and bucks nights, birthdays, weddings and work functions, alongside day tours into the Blue Mountains and Hunter Valley and transfers to the airport and cruise terminal. On a party run the bus can stop wherever the group wants along the way, at bars or wherever the night is heading. Hires can be booked with a driver or, on the smaller buses, as a self-drive rental. Drivers hold a current bus licence, and all vehicles are licensed and insured. Pickup is from the Revesby depot or from Moorebank, or the bus can be delivered to you by arrangement. Quotes come through an online form that asks whether you want one way, return or a tour, whether you are staying within Sydney, and your pickup and drop-off dates and times. Self-drive bus rentals carry a 250 kilometre daily limit with 20 cents a kilometre beyond that, and school and public holidays attract higher rates.

Pricing

Pricing depends on the date, duration and vehicle — enquire for a quote. Big Bus Co publishes no hire rates on its website and directs everyone to its online quote generator, which asks whether the trip is one way, return or a tour, whether it stays within Sydney, whether you want a driver, and your pickup and drop-off dates and times. The company positions itself on price, describing some of the lowest coach charter rates in NSW. The one published figure applies to self-drive bus rentals, which include 250 kilometres a day and charge 20 cents a kilometre beyond that, with higher rates over school and public holidays.

Fleet & Booking Details

The fleet runs to more than 15 vehicles. At the top are two Mercedes-Benz Volgren coaches, the Eagle 8 and Eagle 9, each seating 57 adults with air conditioning, seatbelts and under-floor baggage space, with the Eagle 9 also configured for 82 children under 12. Mid-size buses include Toyota Coasters at 21 and 22 seats and Mitsubishi Rosas at 19 and 25 seats, one of them wheelchair accessible, and the smallest are 12-seat Toyota Commuters, Hiace vans and a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. All vehicles are licensed, insured and regularly maintained, and every driver holds a current bus licence. Hires can be booked one way, return or as a tour, with or without a driver, and pickup is from Revesby, from Moorebank or delivered to an address by arrangement. Self-drive bus rentals include 250 kilometres a day, charge 20 cents a kilometre past that, and attract additional rates over school and public holidays. The office takes enquiries Monday to Friday 7am to 7pm and Saturday 10am to 2pm, with a 24 hour emergency line on 1300 244 287. No minimum hire duration is published, so confirm it when you request a quote.

Frequently asked questions

How many people can Big Bus Co carry?

The largest coaches, the Mercedes-Benz Eagle 8 and Eagle 9, seat 57 adults, and the Eagle 9 is configured for 82 children under 12. Below that the fleet runs Toyota Coaster and Mitsubishi Rosa buses at 19 to 25 seats, and 12-seat Toyota Commuters, so a group of almost any size fits on one vehicle.

What does it cost to hire a bus?

Big Bus Co does not publish hire rates anywhere on its site, and instead runs an online quote form. The figure depends on whether you want one way, return or a tour, how long you need the bus, whether you stay inside Sydney, and where you are picked up. Self-drive bus rentals do publish one charge: 20 cents a kilometre past a 250 kilometre daily limit.

Can we drink on board?

The website does not publish an alcohol or BYO policy, and this is a coach charter operator rather than a fitted-out party bus, so do not assume drinks are allowed. Ask when you request your quote and get the answer confirmed in writing before the day.

Where do you pick up from, and how far will you travel?

Pickups run from the Revesby depot, from Moorebank, or from an address you nominate by arrangement. The company covers Sydney and travels NSW-wide, including day tours to the Blue Mountains and Hunter Valley, and it also quotes interstate work.

Do we get a driver, or can we drive ourselves?

Both. Charter hires come with a licensed driver, and the quote form asks you to choose with or without a driver up front. The smaller buses, from 12-seat Commuters to 25-seat Rosas, are also available as self-drive rentals, which carry a 250 kilometre daily limit and higher rates over school and public holidays.
