Flexible and Reliable Tour Group Shuttle Services

The price of a tour bus rental will vary depending on several factors, including the type of bus you choose,the amenities you require, region, seasonality, distance, and drive time. Use the Bus.com instant booking tool to get an up-to-the-minute, personalized quote that factors in everything from total drive time, to taxes, to gratuity. This means no guessing, and no surprises.

The biggest causes of fluctuation in tour bus pricing are bus type and time, which includes not only the duration of your trip, but time of year and day, as well. Generally speaking, peak tour season will see a surge in pricing, as will nighttime rentals, given that drivers are typically paid a premium after dark (which shouldn’t be a problem for you, unless you’re planning a night tour). Time is on your side once again, as most tours can be completed in a day. However, if you’re planning a longer, out-of-town tour, your rental cost may include accommodations for the driver. For a breakdown of what drive time and on-duty time mean for your budget, take a peek at our guide to how minimum drive times factor into your bus rental quote.

As for bus type, while there is a difference between the budget-friendly school bus, the compact mini coach bus, and the full-size coach bus, that difference is not as significant as you might think, as the bulk of the cost goes towards paying for the driver’s time.

As many or as few as you want! For smaller groups travelling shorter distances and don’t require luggage space,  the minibus can be an option.

For larger groups travelling longer distances, the coach bus or the mini coach is a better options. The full-size coach accommodates up to 55 passengers, and the mini coach 32, both with plenty of storage space for luggage.

This depends on the level of comfort you’re after. Typically, the school bus and minibus offer minimal amenities, keeping your rental inexpensive and free of bells and whistles you don’t necessarily want or need. That said, the full-size coach and mini coach bus rental options offer a variety of the bells and whistles to help pass the time on longer hauls.

The coach and mini coach offer the most storage, with overhead bins and undercarriage bays, for longer tours that take you out of town — or if you’ve got a lot of equipment, like tripods and trekking poles (a couple dozen pairs of poles will take up some serious real estate).

As for the school bus and the minibus, you might have to get a bit more creative with storage, such as cordoning off the back of the bus for luggage

We can provide full wheelchair accessibility for all bus types upon request. Just be sure to talk to one of our award-winning booking agents two to three months before the tour, and they’ll get you sorted.

Your comfort level is up to you. If your tour requires long stretches on the road, or consists of seniors or people with physical limitations — or simply lovers of lounging — it doesn’t get more comfortable than the full-size coach or mini coach. A solid suspension system ensures a smooth ride, and reclining seats and a surprising amount of legroom allows your group members to stretch out and relax between sites, or simply to rest their heads while gazing out the window at the landscape.

For smaller groups or budget-conscious groups, however, the school bus and minibus are more bare-bones, but are still quite spacious, with padded bench seats.
