What Affects the Price of a Charter Bus Rental?

When you call to book a charter bus, you’ll receive a custom quote tailored to your group’s specific travel needs. But what goes into calculating your price? Here are just a few factors that will influence the cost of your bus rental:

  • Distance and Destination: One of the biggest considerations for your bus rental is how far your bus will need to travel and where you’re going. Short trips around Carrollton or Dallas are often priced by the hour or by the day, while long-distance trips may be priced by the mile.
  • Number of Passengers: The more people you need to transport, the larger the bus you’ll need to book—and larger buses tend to cost more than smaller minibus rentals.
  • Time of Year: Carrollton’s busiest travel season is from late spring through summer, so expect bus rental prices to be higher during this time. Planning to travel during a major holiday like Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, or New Year’s Eve? Be sure to book your bus rental well in advance to avoid the price hikes and limited availability that comes with busy travel seasons.
  • Requested Amenities: When you book with us, you can request specific onboard features for your Carrollton bus rental. Need a WiFi hotspot and power outlets for your business team? Or perhaps an ADA-compliant charter bus rental with a wheelchair lift for your accessible trip? Let us know what amenities your passengers may need, and we’ll work with you to source the ideal bus for the job.
  • We believe in transparent bus rental pricing for all group trips and events. That means you’ll never have to worry about hidden fees when you book your bus through our network! That being said, some additional expenses are out of our control—so be sure to budget for parking fees, tolls, and your driver’s overnight accommodations if you’ll be traveling for more than a day.

    How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Charter Bus for a Week?

    When you call our team to get a quote, let us know if you’re planning a multi-day or week-long trip, and we’ll make sure you get the best pricing for your rental. For example, if you’re planning a week-long church group trip to Dallas, you can expect to pay between $8,000 and $15,000 for a full-size charter bus rental, depending on the size of your group and what amenities you request. If you’re booking multiple buses for your large group—or you’re planning to travel out of state—expect the price to be higher.

    One way to save money on a week-long trip is to only use your charter bus for select legs of your journey. For example, you can book a minibus shuttle for your employees’ airport transfer and commutes to and from your conference venue, and then let your group use local transportation to explore the city on their own time. Or, if your trip includes a long stopover in one city, you can request your driver to return to Carrollton and then meet your group at the next leg of your trip. We work with a large network of transportation providers across the state and beyond, so you’ll always have a bus ready when you need one.
