What Affects the Price of a Charter Bus Rental?

There isn’t a flat-rate price for renting a charter bus in Burbank. Our team of representatives considers a variety of factors when building your personalized quote. Some of these factors include:

  • When you’re traveling
  • One of the first questions our team will ask is when you’re traveling. This is because your travel dates are one of the biggest influences on your charter bus rental price. The time of year and even the day of the week can impact your pricing. Bus rental prices can be higher during busy travel seasons, like summer and holidays. You can also expect prices to increase if you’re traveling on a weekend compared to a weekday.

  • Where you’re traveling
  • Traveling long distances around Southern California can increase the price of your bus rental. This is because our quotes are built based on the distance traveled and the amount of time your driver is on the road. So, a bus rental from Burbank to San Diego will cost more than a quick, local trip from Burbank to Los Angeles.

  • How long you’re traveling
  • As mentioned above, the amount of time your driver is behind the wheel will influence your quote. If you’re traveling a short distance but over several days, your price may be higher than a group traveling a long distance over a day. This is because multi-day trips may require additional driver accommodations. You’ll need to book lodging for your driver and account for additional driving time.

  • The type of bus you’re renting
  • When you call our team for a quote, be sure to have an idea of what type of bus rental you’ll need. Larger vehicles like full-size charter buses usually cost more than smaller vehicles like minibus rentals. If you’re traveling with a large group, your best bet is to book one 56-passenger charter bus rather than multiple 18-passenger minibuses.

  • How far in advance you’re booking
  • We highly recommend booking your bus rental at least 3 to 6 months in advance, if possible. Groups traveling during the busy summer months should try to secure a bus rental at least 6 months in advance. If you’re traveling during less busy times of the year, 3 months should be a sufficient booking window. Last-minute bookings can incur higher costs, so be sure to plan your trip as far in advance as possible!

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

    Renting a charter bus for a week in Burbank, California, typically costs between $8,000 and $15,000. The exact price will depend on several factors, including the type of bus you choose, the number of passengers, the distance you plan to travel, and the specific services you require.

    For example, a standard 56-passenger charter bus is on the higher end of the price range, while a smaller minibus rental is more affordable. If you need premium amenities such as WiFi, power outlets, or onboard restrooms, these features can also increase the overall cost. Additionally, if your itinerary includes multiple destinations or extensive travel within Southern California, this will affect your final quote.

    Keep in mind that these prices are estimates and can vary based on your unique travel needs. For the most accurate and personalized quote, call our team at 747-201-2810. We’ll work with you to find the best charter bus rental that fits your budget and ensures a comfortable, stress-free trip for your entire group.
