What Affects the Price of a Charter Bus Rental?
When you call or request a quote online, your reservation specialist will ask for your itinerary. While we don’t need every detail of your trip to provide a quote, we do need a few key pieces of information to give you the most accurate price possible. Be prepared to share your travel dates, the number of passengers you’ll need to transport, pickup and drop-off addresses, and any must-have amenities for your bus. These details help us determine which bus is right for your group and what type of quote to offer you. For example, if you’re booking a shuttle within 50 miles of Montebello, you’ll likely get an hourly rate. However, if you’re planning a multi-day trip, you’ll be quoted by the day. Your reservation specialist will always choose the best rate for your itinerary.
Because these are not set prices, you may notice fluctuations in your quote based on the time of year you plan to travel. During school breaks and holidays, there’s an increase in demand for buses, so prices tend to go up. Planning your trip during the off-season—typically in the winter months—can help keep costs low. Also, the type of bus you book will affect your quote. Full-size charter buses are more expensive than minibuses, but they also accommodate more people and come with additional amenities. If you aren’t sure which bus is best for your group, our reservation specialists can help you decide.
What is included in my quote?
Your bus rental quote covers the cost of the bus, mileage, fuel, and basic liability insurance. Tolls, parking passes, and hotel accommodations are not included and will be your responsibility. For example, parking at The Shops at Montebello typically ranges from $20-$40 per day for oversized vehicles like charter buses. If your itinerary requires overnight stays, you’ll also need to budget for a hotel room. Additionally, it’s customary to tip 10-20% of the total cost for excellent service. Our team is happy to answer questions about what’s included and help you plan accordingly!
