About

Chico’s little charter bus !   Van Man Charters, started business 2008 in Chico, CA, with a focus on catering to groups of 4 to 48 passengers as well as local shuttle service specializing in weddings. Winery tours of Butte County and Gold Country Casino “mini-excursions”  have since developed, and so have professional associations with local tour companies and travel directors. We can provide booking for all kinds of groups, events and occasions, with 14 passenger, 27 passenger, and 50 passenger vehicles. The van is licensed for statewide travel and the larger coaches are interstate licensed.

Van Man Charters is a proud sponsor of  Chico Rage basketball team,  NSGW annual Beer Fest in Oroville, and LWV annual wine tasting event in Chico.

Casey Aplanalp, owner/host, has 13 years of class “B” commercial license professional driving experience, including 5 years of interstate motorcoach experience, all without accident or infraction. Casey also has 6 years experience developing wedding shuttle transportation and 4 years as Charter Director, as well as local and out-of-area winery knowledge.
