What Affects the Price of a Charter Bus Rental?

Several factors will determine the final cost of your Dallas bus rental, including:

The time of year: Like many other travel services, bus rental rates fluctuate with the season. That means renting a bus during busy times like spring, summer, and major holidays will likely cost more than in the off-season.

Type of bus you book: We offer a wide variety of bus rental options in Dallas, from 18-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger charter buses. Generally, the larger the bus, the higher the price—but that also means the cost per passenger will be lower, since more people can pitch in for the rental.

How far you’re traveling: Local trips like sightseeing tours and field trips will usually be priced by the hour, with a minimum of five hours. Longer trips and excursions out of town, on the other hand, may be priced by the day or by the mile.

How long you’ll need your bus: The longer you need your bus rental, the more it will cost. Also, if you need a bus for multiple days, be sure to let us know whether or not you’ll need it overnight, as you may be responsible for lodging and meals for your bus driver.

Which amenities you request: Most charter bus rentals come equipped with amenities to keep passengers comfortable and entertained, like WiFi, TVs with a DVD player, reclining seats, and an onboard restroom. That being said, be sure to let your reservation specialist know if you’d like to book a specific amenity, as your rental rate may be affected.

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

Most week-long charter bus rentals in Dallas cost between $8,000 and $15,000, depending on your itinerary and passenger count. For example, if you need to transport 100 people to the Texas State Fair, a 56-passenger charter bus for seven days will cost around $11,900. If you’re planning a week-long family vacation to Dallas-Fort Worth and only need a 25-passenger minibus, your price may be closer to $9,100. To get a more accurate estimate for your bus rental, call 469-283-0760 today and let us know your headcount and schedule.
