Factors That Determine Your Price

Determining the exact cost of a charter bus or party bus rental in Ontario, California can be tricky as it depends on various factors. Here are some of the key elements that influence the pricing: the distance and duration of the trip, the time of year, the starting location, additional travel fees like tolls or parking permits, team accommodation and gratuity, and the type of bus requested. To get an accurate quote for your specific transportation needs, it’s best to contact us directly.

Distance and Length of Trip

How we calculate the price of your bus rental largely depends on the distance and duration of your trip. For hourly trips around local areas like Ontario, we charge by the hour with a minimum rental period. Trips spanning multiple days to attractions outside the city like Disneyland or Joshua Tree National Park are billed daily. Long-distance journeys along major roadways like the I-10 or I-15 to cities like Los Angeles or San Diego incur charges based on total mileage. No matter if you’re visiting the Ontario Mills Mall, the Museum of History and Art, or just need a ride to the Ontario International Airport, our pricing ensures an affordable and comfortable experience!

When Your Trip Takes Place

Charter bus rental prices fluctuate throughout the year due to changes in demand. The busiest travel periods, like spring break and summer, see higher rates as more groups vie for the same buses. In Ontario, rates climb from April through August due to school trips, graduations, and family vacations. California’s busy season spans March to June, with spikes around spring break, prom season, and the start of summer. Major events like music festivals or sporting tournaments can also drive up prices in certain cities. To secure the best rates, aim for the off-season between September and February.

Your Trip’s Starting Point and Final Stop

The cities where you begin and end your bus trip play a big role in determining your rental cost. Major metropolitan areas like Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, and Fresno have a higher supply of charter buses readily available. Suburban and rural areas may have limited local bus companies to service them. If your trip starts or ends in an area with fewer bus providers, you can expect to pay a premium for the convenience of having a bus come to your location. The distance your bus has to travel without passengers on board, known as deadhead, also factors into the cost. For example, a trip from San Diego to Palm Springs – a distance of around 120 miles – would incur significant deadhead charges for the bus traveling from Los Angeles to San Diego to begin, then again from Palm Springs back to its home location after dropping you off. No matter where your California charter bus rental starts or ends, we have a vast network of bus partners across the entire state to service any city at an affordable rate!

Type and Number of Buses

When calculating the price for your bus rental, the type and number of buses you require plays a crucial role. We offer various options, each with its own unique pricing structure. For smaller groups seeking affordable transportation, our minibuses provide an economical solution. Accommodating between 15-30 passengers, minibuses are ideal for shorter trips or city tours. Alternatively, if you’re planning a lively celebration, our party buses equipped with amenities like fiber-optic lighting and premium sound systems create an unforgettable experience, though at a higher price point. For those seeking luxury accommodations, our entertainer coaches, often used by bands and celebrities, offer top-of-the-line amenities like kitchens, master suites, and satellite TVs, making them the most expensive option. Finally, our standard motorcoaches and charter buses cater to larger groups, offering ample seating, restrooms, and luggage space, making them a versatile and cost-effective choice for longer journeys or multi-day trips.

Tips for Keeping Costs Down

To keep costs down on bus rentals in Ontario, California, consider booking during the off-season months like December, January, or February when prices are typically lower. Avoid scheduling trips during busy times like April, May, and June when demand is higher due to graduations, proms, and other events. Routes with toll roads or requiring parking permits, such as trips to stadiums like the Toyota Arena or Citizens Business Bank Arena, may incur additional fees. However, booking well in advance and finalizing your headcount early can help secure lower rates and ensure you only pay for the capacity you need.
