CharterUP runs a digital marketplace and management platform for bus charters, connecting clients with hundreds of bus providers. It offers a proprietary shuttle management system that lets users book buses, track payments, and manage riders all in one place, with a marketplace to compare prices across providers. Revenue comes from commissions on each charter booked, and 24/7 customer support backs the experience. A standout feature is its backup plan: if a chosen operator can’t fulfill a trip, CharterUP taps into a network of over 600 operators to quickly secure an alternative, ensuring the trip proceeds. Overall, CharterUP aims to simplify and de-risk group transportation by providing a comprehensive, one-stop platform for corporations, schools, and other organizations.

CharterUP launches electric charter bus programme. CharterUP has begun electric vehicle operations in Southern California using Temsa TS 45E coaches and AI-powered fleet management * February 11, 2026 CharterUP has launched an electric vehicle programme in Southern California, deploying battery electric coaches across high-demand markets including Anaheim, Irvine, Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara. The firm describes the deployment, which began in autumn 2025, as the largest electric vehicle-powered fleet in the private charter bus market. The programme uses the Temsa TS 45E electric coach and is operated in partnership with regional bus operators. CharterUP said its artificial intelligence-powered platform manages scheduling, dispatch, fleet tracking, and utilisation, providing operators with real-time data on vehicle locations and battery status. During the deployment, the company collected data on energy consumption, charging behaviour, route efficiency, and vehicle utilisation. Results confirmed that a single electric vehicle can support a full 10-hour shift, according to CharterUP. In a statement, Armir Harris, Chief Executive, said: "This program provides real proof of what electric fleets can do in high-demand environments. What we are building next will set a new standard for how group transportation is delivered in Southern California and the rest of the country." CharterUP said it plans to expand electric vehicle operations throughout Southern California.
CharterUP is collaborating with LAWA to create a seamless, tech-driven shuttle operation for the LAX FlyAway program.
