How Much does an Orlando Bus Rentla Cost?

The cost of your bus rental depends on several key factors. When providing a quote, we take into account the vehicle type, number of passengers, rental duration, and any custom amenities requested. The base rate is determined by the size of vehicle needed to accommodate your group. We then factor in mileage, number of days, and your special requirements. Amenities like catering, entertainment, and more can impact your total rental cost. Read on to learn more about how each element affects your personalized bus rental quote.

The Distance and Time Traveled on your Trip

When our party bus experts calculate your quote, the first factor we look at is the distance and duration of your trip. To get an accurate estimate, be ready to provide the pickup location, drop off destination, and the times you need to be picked up and dropped off. For travel within Orlando, you’ll pay an hourly rate based on how long you need the bus. The route, number of miles, time of year and bus size still factor in, but a daily rate simplifies the quote process. Let us know your trip details and we’ll provide a custom quote!

The Season

The time of year makes a big difference in charter bus rental rates here in Orlando. Our peak seasons are from March through June when spring break, graduations, proms, and the end of the school year drive up demand. Rental prices can easily double compared to our off-peak times. January, February, and July are typically the least expensive months to rent a charter bus locally, due to lower demand after the holidays and summer break. If you’re planning a trip for a major Orlando event like a big convention, major sporting event, or theme park festival, expect bus rental prices to be at their highest. To get the best deal, book your Orlando bus rental at least 3-6 months in advance of your travel dates. Planning around peak demand times or looking at off-peak dates can save you hundreds of dollars on your charter bus booking.

Beginning and Final Destinations

The cost of your bus rental depends heavily on where your trip begins and ends. We have buses stationed in every major city and town across Florida, so we can accommodate trips starting and ending anywhere in the state. Larger metro areas like Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee have high demand, so buses tend to be more plentiful and thus more affordable. Smaller towns and suburbs will be more expensive due to lower supply. We also factor in deadhead miles – the distance our bus must travel when empty to reach your starting point. For example, a trip from Tampa to Orlando is about 80 miles. So if your bus starts in Miami, which is 280 miles away, you would be charged for 360 total miles (280 deadhead + 80 with passengers). Knowing your exact start and end points allows us to give you the most accurate price quote possible.

The Size of Your Group

Here are some tips for keeping your charter bus rental costs low for your next Orlando trip. Avoid booking during major events like Disney’s Marathon Weekend in January or Grad Bash in April to steer clear of peak pricing. Opt for more affordable routes along I-4 instead of toll roads like the Beachline Expressway to Universal Orlando. Account for stadium parking fees if booking transportation to sporting events at Camping World Stadium. And maximize your bus capacity to distribute the total cost over more passengers and reduce the per-person price.

Looking to take your students on an unforgettable field trip to Orlando? Getting a quote for charter bus rentals is easy. Simply decide on your Orlando destinations, number of passengers, and schedule. For example, let’s say you want to take 60 middle schoolers to Disney World and SeaWorld over 2 days.

Now divide by the number of passengers. For this Orlando charter bus rental, it comes out to only $40 per student. Pretty affordable!
