What Affects the Price of a Charter Bus Rental?
A few different factors go into the price of your bus rental. The biggest one is your itinerary — where you’re going, when, and for how long. Longer trips with more mileage will cost more than short, local shuttles. And if you need service during a busy time like spring field trips or summer events, rates may be higher due to demand. Your headcount also matters. Large groups needing multiple full-size charter buses will pay more than small teams booking a single minibus. For example, a 56-passenger coach costs more per day than a 20-passenger minibus, but the per-person price could be lower since you’re spreading the cost among more riders. Likewise, amenities matter. Buses with WiFi, power outlets, TVs, and premium seats may cost a bit more than basic models. Where you’re headed also affects the rate. If you’re leaving Hemet for Los Angeles, San Diego, or even out-of-state destinations, mileage and tolls will be factored in. Local travel within Riverside County usually comes with an hourly rate, while multi-day trips are typically priced per day. Lastly, seasonality plays a role. Spring and summer are peak times for school trips, weddings, and festivals, so prices may be higher compared to winter months. To get the best deal, try to book at least 6 months in advance if you can. Remember, these are just general guidelines. The quickest way to get accurate pricing is to use our online quote tool or call 951-799-3340. Our team will tailor a quote to your exact needs—no guesswork required.
What's Included in My Quote?
When you request a quote from us, it includes everything you need for your trip except for a few extras. Your base price covers the bus, fuel, insurance, and your reservation specialist’s support from start to finish. However, things like parking fees, tolls, and optional gratuity are not included. For example, if you’re visiting Diamond Valley Lake, parking for a charter bus is $10 per day. If your itinerary requires overnight stays, you’ll also need to book a hotel room for the driver. These additional costs depend on your specific plans and are not part of our initial quote. Always budget a little extra for these incidentals to avoid surprises.
