Your quote includes the base rental fee for the bus and driver for the duration of your trip, plus fuel, tolls, and any applicable taxes or surcharges. It does not include gratuity for the driver (customary tip is 10–20% of the total fare) or hotel/lodging expenses if an overnight stay is required. Additional charges may apply for extra mileage, wait time, or special requests. All terms will be clearly outlined in your contract before you book.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least 4–6 weeks in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rate.
