How Much Does a Buckeye Charter Bus Rental Cost?
Buckeye charter bus rental prices vary depending on multiple factors. The biggest factor is the duration of your rental—whether your trip requires a rental by the day or hour. If you’re traveling within Buckeye or headed to a nearby location like Phoenix, your rental will be charged by the hour. Daily rentals are more commonly reserved for multi-day trips to regional destinations like Tucson, Flagstaff, or Las Vegas. Prices will vary based on what model of charter bus rental your group needs, as well as when you’re traveling in Buckeye. Hourly charter bus rentals in Buckeye start at $150 and go up to $450+ an hour, and daily rentals start around $1,500 and range upwards of $3,500+.
How Much Does a Buckeye Party Bus Rental Cost?

For a medium-sized group of passengers (20- 50 people), your hourly price can vary depending on the day of the week: $200–$450+ an hour on weekdays versus $220–$470+ an hour on weekends.

Charter Bus Rental Company Buckeye works with different bus companies throughout Arizona to personalize group transportation solutions to every type of group, including government organizations, prom dances, wedding receptions and much much more. Each charter bus or party bus is rented based on when, how long, and where your group will be traveling, which will determine if you will be charged by the hour, by day, or per mile traveled. Keep reading for a helpful explanation of everything you need to know to calculate your estimated trip price with Charter Bus Rental Company Buckeye!
Planning Your Trip: Distance & Duration
When you’re booking a private bus rental, it’s important to keep the length of your trip and the destinations in mind when determining your price quote. For trips that only last a few hours and don’t involve traveling a great distance, it’s common practice for bus companies to provide quotes based on an hourly rate. Charter bus companies in Buckeye generally enforce a minimum hour requirement, so if you’re just hopping around town, you may need to have a few stops added to your itinerary if your rental is too short. Don’t fret if your route and itinerary come out to fewer hours. We’ll work with you!
Conversely, group trips that cover longer distances or happen to be several days will likely be calculated by the day or mileage. If you’re planning transportation for an out-of-state multi-day tournament with your youth league team, you may be quoted a daily rate for your Austin charter bus or a cost based on each mile traveled between Austin and San Antonio. In the case your charter bus is staying in one place but is transporting a group locally on multiple consecutive days, such as a private shuttle service for your business convention in Phoenix, you will also be quoted a daily rate.
Seasonality and Bus Rental Pricing
Prices can vary depending on the time of year you’re traveling. Traveling groups have tons of reasons for visiting Buckeye or anywhere else around the area. But there are some parts of the year that tend to be busier for everyone than others. If your trip requires ground transportation and happens to take place during one of these high-volume seasons, expect rental rates to reflect that demand with slightly elevated prices.
For example, spring is busy for families who may have spring break vacations, while April and May see tons of proms and graduations. Booking during these busy months for spring and summer group travels often means fewer buses are available, as well as an additional demand and slightly higher hourly or daily rates. Summer also tends to be more expensive because the kids are out of school and families have more time for big family vacations and holiday weekends.
We recommend always getting your rental quote in as early as possible for the most estimated pricing (and accurate bus availability). Especially if your group is traveling around a holiday or special event, a lot of buses may already be booked and what’s available may be a higher rate.
Location and Availability
Bus providers in areas with high demand, like Phoenix and Scottsdale, tend to charge more, especially during certain times of year like prom and graduation season. For charter bus rentals booked with start points in towns where there aren’t as many buses around, prices tend to be higher too.
Your charter bus pricing in Buckeye also takes into account where the closest available bus to your pickup spot is located. A trip starting farther away than what’s considered reasonable distance may include an added “deadhead” fee. “Deadhead” refers to miles accumulated with an empty bus. We’ll try to pair your group with the closest bus possible, to keep deadhead costs low. You should try booking as far in advance as possible and double check the locations where your bus may be starting out, even if the charter bus company offers transportation throughout the state.
Charter Bus Type & Size
The obvious first thing your Charter Bus Rental Company Buckeye reservation representative will need to determine is the best kind of bus model for your group in Buckeye, which depends largely on the size of the group and your overall trip plan. Smaller groups and events, such as an airport pick-up for 20 people or a birthday group of 30 to see a show, will likely be best suited with a smaller bus or a sprinter van, holding 10-16 passengers depending on what is available. For a smaller party bus holding around 10-20 people, hourly rates range from $130–$350+ on weekdays to $150–$400+ on weekends. For a larger party bus that can accommodate up to 50 people, it’ll cost between $200–$450 an hour on weekdays, while you’ll pay $220 to $470 per hour during the weekends.
Large parties of more than 35 people traveling together or teams with bulky equipment and gear, such as corporate retreat-goers traveling from Los Angeles to Phoenix, will want to reserve a coach bus. Your rep will likely recommend a 56-passenger charter bus rental in Buckeye with plenty of space on board, as well as ample storage for everyone’s personal belongings. These vehicles will tend to be pricier than minibuses and cost around $150–$450 an hour. We can get you and your party whatever vehicle and at a great rate, give us a call at 602-338-9083 to see the pricing and more.
Day-of-the-Week Rental Rates
Pricing for your Buckeye charter bus varies according to which day of the week it is and the time of day you are looking to travel. This means that certain trips, like prom night, or school field trips (both usually happen on weekends), are higher since many people are booking on these days.
On a typical day in the middle of the week when there isn’t a lot of activity, your charter bus rental rate in Buckeye could be as low as $100 per hour for a school bus or a daily rate of $900 for a party bus. Weekends like Saturday and Sunday are when charter buses are in higher demand, especially after 5:00 PM, which is when hourly rates and the minimum number of hours required tends to increase. It also helps to make sure to reserve your bus as far in advance as possible if your day trip falls on a busy travel weekend. If you want to save some money for events that don’t have to be on the weekend, we highly recommend planning on a weekday to get better pricing.
Plan your trip around time of day.
Since there are so many opportunities for nightlife around Buckeye and the surrounding Phoenix area, you may find charter bus prices to be a bit higher for evening travels. Since party buses are typically booked to go to casinos on The Strip, bars in Scottsdale, or for weddings around town after dark, most charter bus providers raise hourly party bus prices once it hits evening to keep up with the demand. However, renting a bus during the day could mean a cheaper rate!
When your daytime events don’t include late hours in the city, consider traveling Monday thru Thursday before 6pm for your next trip! Most providers offer lower hourly rates, a reduced minimum number of hours needed for a reservation, and more variety in available buses.
Bus Amenities
Do you want a party bus rental that include WiFi so passengers can easily post selfies on their social accounts during your special trip? Or a bus that include TVs so students can catch up on videos for their homework assignments during the road trip? There are many kinds of modern amenities to help keep travelers comfortable or business groups productive while on the road. The cost of your Buckeye bus rental usually accounts for amenities offered that come standard, including WiFi and A/C, which are part of our quick, online bus rental quotes. Depending on the company, amenities like an onboard restroom may include an additional surcharge on top of the total rental price. Discuss all of your amenity needs with our reservation agents during the bus quote and booking process to factor these additional charges into your travel budget.
Additional Costs to Consider
Your bus rental price only calculates factors directly related to the charter bus or party bus rental process. Anything added on while on the road will need to be taken care of out-of-pocket on your trip. Your bus rental quote doesn’t account for road tolls, gratuity for your charter bus driver, or parking. Additional expenses you should keep in mind include your lodging at hotels and meal costs. If you’re attending a multi-day event or planning to stay out of town for longer than 24 hours, you’ll want to include accommodation costs for your driver.
We recommend having a detailed budget for your Buckeye group trip written down before hitting the road. We want our groups to make the most of their trip in a comfortable ride, not stress over every expense on your budget!
Book Your Charter Bus With Confidence
When you rent a charter or party bus in Buckeye, there are simple ways to secure the most cost-efficient travel plans without missing out on any of the comfort or fun! To save on cost without sacrificing fun and space, consider the following recommendations for your trip:
Have your group size and itinerary finalized before making any reservations to accurately reflect everyone’s needs and not pay for space you won’t use.
Book your Buckeye bus as far in advance as possible, preferably six months prior to your trip dates if traveling in a high-demand time, such as prom or wedding season or around the winter holidays.
Plan on traveling locally rather than having multiple pickups and dropoffs to reduce mileage.
If your trip extends out of town or lasts longer than a few hours, book your hotel in the city where your bus is ending up, rather than where your trip begins.
Inquire with hotels and attractions about free or reduced parking spots and loading zones. Some spots around Buckeye or even in major cities may offer complimentary parking in exchange for your business.
