Every trip is different, so every quote will be different! Here are four real examples of recent Gilbert charter bus rentals we've handled:

• Example #1: A high school in the Higley Unified School District booked a 25-passenger minibus to take their robotics team to a weekend competition at Arizona State University in Tempe. The trip required two days of service with multiple campus shuttles. They were quoted $2,850 for the full weekend, plus a 10% driver gratuity, bringing the total to $3,135.
• Example #2: A corporate client in Gilbert’s Rivulon business district needed a 56-passenger charter bus to transport employees to a conference at the Phoenix Convention Center downtown. This was a single-day, round-trip event with downtown drop-off coordination. Their final price was $2,100 including a pre-arranged tip.
• Example #3: A wedding party requested a 20-passenger minibus for guest transportation between hotels and a venue at Agritopia Farms. The shuttle ran continuously for five hours. Their total cost came to $1,200 after adding a 15% gratuity.
• Example #3: Last summer, a high school baseball team in San Diego requested a shuttle rental to the playoffs in Los Angeles. With 17 players, four coaches, and an extensive amount of equipment and luggage to bring to the tournament, the team settled on a coach bus rental with a seating capacity of 50. The head coach received a quote for $2,700 and tipped the driver 10% at the end of the trip.
• Example #4: An out-of-state church group booked a 40-passenger mid-size bus for a three-day retreat at a local campground near the San Tan Mountains. Their package rate was $5,400 for the entire trip, not including lodging for the driver, which they arranged separately.

Several key factors influence the cost of renting a charter bus in Gilbert: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the duration of your trip (hourly, daily, or multi-day), total mileage, and current demand based on seasonality and local events. Additional expenses may include tolls, parking fees at venues like State Farm Stadium or Footprint Center, and accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. Because pricing is customized to each itinerary, it's essential to provide exact pickup times, locations, and a detailed schedule when requesting a quote. This allows us to give you an accurate, all-inclusive estimate upfront.

You should book your charter bus at least 4–6 weeks in advance to secure the best availability and pricing. During peak times—such as spring break, graduation season, or major events like Cactus League Spring Training—buses sell out quickly, and reservations made less than 30 days in advance often face limited supply and higher rates due to increased demand. Contact our team early with your trip details to lock in your preferred vehicle and schedule; last-minute bookings are subject to availability and may incur additional costs.
