The price of your charter bus rental depends on several key factors:

• Trip Duration ∓ Mileage: Longer trips with more miles cost more. Local trips may be billed hourly; longer trips use daily or per-mile rates.
• Vehicle Type ∓ Size: Full-size charter buses (up to 56 passengers) are more expensive than minibuses (18–35 passengers) or sprinter vans (up to 15 passengers). Larger vehicles also mean more available amenities.
• Number of Travel Days: Multi-day trips incur additional daily charges.
• Time of Year: Peak seasons like spring (April–June) and fall see higher demand and prices due to school events, sports, and tourism.
• Pickup Location: If your trip starts outside major metro areas like Chicago or St. Louis, you may pay extra for “deadhead” mileage—the distance the bus travels empty to reach your group.
• Special Amenities: Buses with premium features (restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, etc.) may have higher rates.
