Several key factors influence the final price of your charter bus rental: the number of passengers/trip size, the length and mileage of your trip, the time of year you’re traveling, the pickup location and destination(s), the availability of vehicles, and any special amenities requested. Busiest times include Phoenix Suns playoffs, Arizona Diamondbacks home openers, ASU graduation, Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction, Country Thunder, spring break, and holiday weekends. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking fees, or driver lodging on multi-day trips.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the bus, driver compensation, fuel, and all mileage or hours specified in your itinerary. It does not include driver gratuity (usually 10–20%), tolls, parking fees, or hotel/lodging expenses for the driver if required. Our team will break down exactly what is and isn’t included so you know the total cost before you book. We pride ourselves on transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees.

You should book your Gilbert charter bus as early as possible—ideally 4–6 months in advance—to lock in the best rates and ensure vehicle availability, especially if your trip falls during peak demand periods like Phoenix Suns or Arizona Diamondbacks games, ASU graduation, Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction, Country Thunder, spring break, or holiday weekends. Buses often sell out months ahead of major events, and last-minute bookings may face limited supply and higher prices. Once you know your date and rough headcount, call us to get a quote and reserve your bus—you can always adjust the details later if needed.

We offer 18-, 20-, and 25-passenger minibuses as well as 56-passenger full-size charter buses—perfect for any group size! No matter where you’re headed, we’ll make sure you get exactly the right vehicle for your headcount and budget.

Minibuses offer forward-facing seats, A/C, and compact storage. You can request a “school bus” style minibus with basic seating or upgrade to a model with leatherette upholstery and video screens. If you need something specific—like extra luggage space, or a fully wrapped exterior—we’ll make it happen!
