What Affects the Price of a Charter Bus Rental?

The biggest factors in determining your charter bus rental cost are the type of bus you book, when you’re traveling, and the length of your trip. Here’s how these factors can impact your price:

  • Type of bus: Cleveland Charter Bus Services has access to minibus and charter bus rentals for groups of all sizes. 18- to 25-passenger minibus rentals are the smallest models and are the most affordable for groups traveling locally. Full-size 56-passenger charter bus rentals are best for large groups or those traveling long distances. These large vehicles have higher rental prices than minibus rentals.
  • Travel dates: Bus rental prices can increase during busier times of the year like summer, spring break, and major holidays. If you’re traveling during a busy time, your price may be higher than if you traveled during an off-season.
  • Trip duration: Most charter bus companies charge per hour for local trips or per day for multi-day, long-distance trips. So, the longer your trip, the higher your price will be.
  • How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Charter Bus for a Week?

    On average, it costs between $8,000 and $15,000 to rent a charter bus for a week. The type of bus and your travel dates will determine where your price falls within this range. If you’re traveling with a large group during a busy time of year, your price will be on the higher end. A week-long trip with a small group during a slow travel season will likely be more affordable.
