Frequently Asked Questions About Renting a Coach Bus

What is a coach bus?

A coach bus is a large motor vehicle used for transporting groups of up to 55 people. Renting a coach bus is the preferred type of transportation for many groups, including corporations, sports teams, tour groups, wedding parties, faith groups, nonprofit organizations, military or local government groups, and more.

Who can benefit from renting a coach bus?

From corporate clients and sports teams to student groups and non-for-profit organizations, a coach bus rental is very versatile and can be ideal for a wide range of groups.

 

Sports teams will benefit from the undercarriage, which has room to store all your hockey, football, or track and field equipment. And group types such as corporate clients, student groups or faith organizations, will benefit from the high level of comfort and wide range of available amenities. It is also recommended to rent a coach bus for any trips longer than two and a half hours.

The onboard restroom that comes standard on all coach bus rentals means you can schedule fewer pit stops and spend more time on the road, shortening your overall drive time.

What kind of trips can I rent a coach bus for?

Renting a coach bus is the best option for longer trips and for large groups that need transportation from one city to another. Sports teams often rent a coach bus to move coaches, players, and support staff to out-of-town games. They’re also frequently rented by sports fans attending tailgate parties for their favorite teams.

 

You can also rent a coach bus simply for the comfort it offers due to the largest number of amenities onboard. They are also a great travel option for Faith groups who often rent a coach bus for spiritual trips involving many members of their congregation. Companies can also benefit from renting a coach bus when transporting their employees to corporate retreats or conferences. With outlets on board and the possibility of adding Wi-Fi connectivity, employees and guests are able to remain productive and stick to their routine, even while on the road!

What are the benefits of renting a coach bus?

The most obvious benefit of renting a coach bus is that you can spend long hours on the road comfortably and still arrive at your destination fresh and well rested. When you rent a coach bus, you’ll still want to make the occasional pit stop, but you won’t have to scour the road for parking every time one of your 55 passengers has to use the restroom. Amenities like air conditioning, TV/DVD entertainment equipment, and Wi-Fi also provide extra comfort and plenty of ways for your passengers to stay occupied in transit. Corporate clients appreciate a certain standard of travel and an executive coach bus is sure to satisfy even the most demanding guest.

Is it possible to rent a coach bus without a driver?

No. A special driver’s license is required to drive a coach bus, and we only offer chauffeured coach bus rentals.

Can I buy an intercity or a single coach bus ticket?

While we do offer shuttle tickets to some of the most popular music festivals, we do not currently sell individual bus tickets or run scheduled transfers between cities at this time.

When does the coach bus rental make pit stops?

That’s up to you! Pit stops are available on request when you rent a coach bus with Bus.com, but we recommend at least one for every three to four hours of driving time.

Can I rent a coach bus for myself and my family?

Of course! Note that most coach bus rentals are very large and can fit up to 55 people, but if you’ve got a big family event or would like a little space to stretch out, you should definitely plan to rent a coach bus. If you’re interested in something a little smaller, a mini coach bus seats up to 32, while a minibus seats up to 21.

Can I rent more than one coach bus?

With Bus.com you can rent a coach bus or an entire fleet of coach buses. Our team can take care of the logistics to make sure you get the transport you need! If you need to rent multiple buses, be sure to check out our enterprise page, which is tailored to larger-scale plans.

Can Bus.com help me organize a shuttle service with one or more coach bus rentals?

Certainly! Refer to our shuttle page for more detailed information, or email us at [email protected] to rent a coach bus for shuttle service.

Can I organize a coach bus shuttle service instead of having two coach buses doing one transfer each?

Absolutely. This can be a great way to keep your coach bus rental cost down when only moving a group short distances, but keep in mind that some of your group will have to wait for the bus to make its round trip, so it may not be a viable option if your destination is far away.

When do I learn which company will be servicing my coach bus trip?

We’ll provide you with all the information on which of our bus partners will be providing the vehicle for your trip on your final itinerary 24 hours before departure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rental Cost

What is the average coach bus rental cost?

The average coach bus rental cost ranges from $600 to $1200 per day. Please note that a coach bus rental cost is subject to vary based on many factors such as your trip date, length, and location. Visit our online booking tool to receive an instant accurate overview of the coach bus rental cost for your particular trip.

When renting a coach bus, there are certain factors that come into play to affect charter bus costs. The most important factor that changes a coach bus rental cost? Time.

When you book––from the time of day to the time of year––will have a significant impact on the coach bus rental cost. For example, coach buses typically run higher bills during night routes, given that suppliers often need to pay drivers a premium when driving after dark. Prices also peak during longer trips.

The more time spent on the road, the higher your coach bus rental costs will be due to mileage rates, fuel surcharges, and the possibility of employing multiple drivers to cover the distance of the trip.

What can I do to ensure I have access to the lowest coach bus rental cost?

There are a few ways to hunt down a low coach bus rental cost. One strategy is to book in the off-season, as this tends to be when charter bus rental prices are at their lowest. The off-season is generally between December and March. Even if you are not traveling during this time, it’s still possible to secure a better bus deal by booking far in advance.

We also run a price-matching program. If you’ve found a quote at a more competitive coach bus rental cost, let us know and we’ll do all we can to match it, so you can get the best possible price for your booking.

What is the service fee on my coach bus quote?

The service fee represents Bus.com’s booking charge and is used to maintain our website.

What is the driver's hotel fee for in my coach bus quote?

A driver’s hotel fee is automatically added when a driver’s total number of driving hours exceeds daily limits set by the Department of Transportation in the U.S. and Canada.  In the U.S., these limits dictate that a driver can legally drive for 10 hours and be on duty for 12 hours. After this, a driver must take an 8-hour break. In Canada, a driver can legally drive for 12 hours and be on duty for 14 hours, but then must take an 8-hour break.

 

The hotel bookings are typically handled by our procurement team and cost approximately $150 per night. However, this may be affected by location and seasonality.

How do insurance plans work for a coach bus rental?

Nearly all of our U.S. bus partners have $5 million coverage for automobile liability as well as $5 Million for general liability.

What is your coach bus rental cancellation policy?

For coach bus, mini coach, minibus, and Sprinter van charters, we offer 100% money back on cancellations made 21 days or more before the trip and 50% money back on cancellations made between 20 and 14 days before the trip.

Unfortunately, we’re unable to issue refunds on service fees or cancellations made on coach buses, mini coaches, mini buses, or Sprinter van charter rentals 13 days or less before the start of the trip.


Our policy is slightly different for School Bus charter rentals.

We offer 100% money back on cancellations made seven days or more before the trip and

50% money back on cancellations made between six days and three days before the trip.

Unfortunately, we’re unable to issue refunds on service fees or cancellations made 72 hours or less before the start of the trip.

How do payments work for coach bus rentals? Do you have any payment plans?

We offer a “book now pay later” option that allows you to register your credit card to your account, and we only charge the card 21 days before your departure date. This method also confirms your booking so our team can secure your bus in advance.

 

We also offer payment plans. Reach out to us at [email protected] for further details.

Can I get an estimate for renting a coach bus without providing my email?

Can Bus.com help me rent a coach bus in my budget?

We work closely with our partners to help you rent a coach bus in your budget. Let us know what your budget is, and we’ll do our best to make your trip a reality.

Does Bus.com offer discounts for multiple coach bus rentals or for coach bus rentals spanning multiple days?

How to Rent a Coach Bus

How do I book a coach bus rental?

Rather than calling a dozen providers to find a coach bus, simply request a price option using our online booking tool. We’ll call on our network of bus partner companies to find the one that can provide the best coach bus rental price. Once you have accepted a quote, our award-winning booking specialists will reach out to complete the booking. You can then take advantage of our Book Now, Pay Later option, and put off paying until 21 days before your departure. 24 hours before you leave, you will receive your driver’s name and phone number and an emergency number to contact if there are any problems. If you have questions, our customer service team is here to help!

How do I find a coach Bus rental near me?

You can check on the local availability of coach buses in your area by filling out the details of your upcoming trip into our online booking tool. If you can’t find an available bus that suits your needs, don’t hesitate to reach out to our 24/7 customer care team for assistance at tripsupport@bus.com.

When should I book my coach bus?

It’s best to book your motor coach rental at least 6 months in advance. As your departure date approaches, bus availability tends to dwindle and consequently, coach bus rental prices tend to increase. We can provide last-minute coach bus rentals, but it won’t be at that sweet early-bird price. Our Book Now, Pay Later option makes booking early easy.

Pro tip: Find out when your city’s tourism industry is at its peak. If you’re traveling during that time, it’s a good idea to book even earlier. For example, the prime time for weddings in San Francisco is autumn. If you’re renting a coach bus for a wedding shuttle service in the fall, aim to book your bus at least 9 months in advance.

I have a question that has not been answered here. Is there somebody I can speak to?

Bus.com’s support team is there for you 24/7. Please reach out by emailing us at [email protected].

Other available bus types

Every trip is different, but the need for reliable and cost-effective transportation remains the same. The coach bus has established itself as the preferred option among renters due to its versatility, spaciousness, and wide range of amenities other bus rental options such as school buses and minibuses simply do not have.
