How much Does Full Size Charter Bus Cost?

Charter bus prices depend on a number of factors including hours of use, distance traveled, location, season, and specific features.

Some other factors to consider that may influence the final price of your charter include: 

  • “Deadhead” mileage: After dropping off passengers, a now-empty bus may sometimes be driven a significant distance. To save rental buses from losing out on revenue, a deadhead fee is often charged in the overall price of the trip. The fee changes based on the bus size and passenger count. Usually, it’s lower than the per-mile rate.
  • Planning time: Unlike purchasing airline tickets, the price of charter bus services doesn’t tend to rise as the date of your trip approaches. This gives you more flexibility and less stress when planning, as you can expect the quote to stay consistent.
