FAQS

The cost of renting a charter bus in Surprise typically ranges from $197–$519 per hour or $1,600 – $3,800 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, length of trip, and other key details. Minibuses generally run $1,200–$2,500 per day, while full-size 56-passenger coaches are $2,400–$3,800 per day. You’ll pay either an hourly, daily, or per-mile rate based on your exact itinerary.

Several variables influence the final price of your charter bus rental in Surprise, including the type and size of bus (minibus vs. full-size coach), number of passengers, trip duration (hours/days), total mileage, number of days, time of year (peak season rates apply during spring training, holidays, and event weekends), and any special requests like upgraded amenities or custom wraps. Multi-day trips and out-of-town destinations will increase costs due to additional mileage and driver accommodation requirements.

Your charter bus quote includes the base rental fee for the vehicle and driver, plus fuel, tolls, and taxes. It does not include the driver’s hotel room (required for multi-day trips), driver gratuity (typically 10–20%), or parking fees at venues. We’ll break down all estimated costs upfront so you know exactly what’s covered and what isn’t before you sign your contract.

We recommend booking your bus at least four to six months in advance to secure the best availability and pricing, especially if you’re traveling during peak times like MLB Spring Training, high school graduations, or major events at Surprise Stadium and Ottawa University. Last-minute reservations can be accommodated if vehicles are available, but selection may be limited and rates may be higher closer to your departure date. Once you have your trip details, lock in your reservation early to guarantee the bus you want.

If your trip requires an overnight stay, you’ll need to book a hotel room for the driver at your expense. Drivers must have their own private room (not shared with passengers) and should be housed at the same hotel as the group whenever possible. For multi-day trips exceeding 10 hours of driving per day, a second driver may be required to comply with FMCSA hours-of-service regulations. Your quote will specify if additional drivers or accommodations are needed based on your itinerary.
