Charter Bus Ontario collaborates with various bus companies across the Inland Empire, each having its own rates. Pricing depends on whether your group is quoted by the day, hour, or mile, tailored to your trip. And if you have special requests, such as specific pick up/drop off locations, you can let your reservation specialist know, and we can help personalize a solution.
How Trip Length and Travel Time Affect Costs
Ontario bus rentals are priced hourly, daily, or by mileage. Short, local trips within the city are calculated hourly, often requiring minimum hours (though we can adjust that, if needed). Multi-day trips, like conventions at the Ontario Convention Center or a tournament in another state, are charged daily. Longer road trips are calculated by mileage, so provide exact addresses for an accurate quote.

Seasonal Changes in Bus Rental Costs
Travel dates influence charter bus pricing. April, May, June, September, and October tend to be pricier due to events like weddings, proms and homecoming, bachelor/ette parties, sporting events and more. Big events or game days further affect price and availability. Consult local event calendars before finalizing travel dates, ensuring your itinerary is set when calling for a quote, minimizing additional mileage charges.

Finding the Right Bus in the Right Place
If starting in a low-availability area (common in less-populated regions), Ontario charter bus rentals may be pricier. Short-notice bookings in these areas face further increases. “Deadhead” mileage (driver traveling without passengers) adds costs. To minimize deadhead fees, book with a company operating near your pick-up location. We partner with some of the BEST Ontario limo companies and bus companies, making it possible for our team to find a company operating near your location.
How Bus Type and Size Affect Price
Bus type and size affect rental costs. Party bus rentals vary in size, some accommodating up to 40 people. We also have many different vehicles including luxury party buses, charter buses and minibuses—and no matter what you’re looking for, Charter Bus Ontario will get your group there! Luxury features like wraparound leather seats, custom sound system & disco laser lighting and hardwood floors mean higher rates. Newer models with features like Bluetooth speakers and Smart TVs and additional features also mean an increase in cost over older options. Motorcoaches (with luggage compartments/restrooms) are great for long trips, while minibuses are better for shorter local travels and may come with lower rates.
Weekday vs. Weekend Party Bus Rental Rates
Weekend rentals (Friday-Sunday) are usually more costly than weekday bookings (Monday-Thursday) because there tends to be more events and activities happening. Lower demand on weekdays often means lower pricing (unless it’s game day or a holiday). Friday and Saturday nights see higher demand, increasing minimum rental hours and hourly rates. To snag the cheapest party bus, try celebrating earlier in the week! You’ll always find more bus availability and lower prices throughout the week than on the weekends.
Save Money by Traveling During the Day
Daytime trips tend to be cheaper than evening bookings. Because party bus rentals are most popular after 6 p.m. for nights out, companies often increase their hourly rates and the minimum rental hours you need to make. Try to change your schedule for an off-site business or a field trip from night to day to save a few dollars.
Comfort and Convenience Onboard
Many features, like WiFi and comfy seats, are standard. Other amenities—like restrooms, TVs/DVD players, and power outlets—might cost extra. Discuss your must-haves with your reservation specialist, so we include them in your quote. And our sprinter vans can seat anywhere from 8-14 passengers making them a good option for small or big groups of passengers!
Extra Expenses to Keep in Mind
Tolls, parking, tips might not be in your quote. Be prepared to pay separately or discuss adding them during booking. Longer trips might require driver lodging and accommodations, adding to the cost.
Save on Your Ontario Bus Rental
Finalizing headcounts, choosing off-season travel dates, reducing deadhead mileage by selecting a local bus provider and finding event venues with ample parking are smart budget moves. Ask your Charter Bus Ontario representative about discounts for early bookings or prepayments. This is just a small peek into the ways that Charter Bus Ontario goes the extra mile to find discounts for passengers!
