What Affects Your Price
6 Factors That Affect Calexico Charter Bus Prices
Choose Calexico
Factor 1: The Type of Bus
View instant online quotes for everything from a sprinter van with a driver or a 25-passenger minibus to a party bus or a full-size 56-passenger charter bus! Larger coaches with onboard restrooms, undercarriage luggage bays, and WiFi cost more than compact minibuses for quick hops around town. You choose the exact vehicle and features that fit YOUR headcount and budget!
Factor 2: Your Trip's Length and Mileage
Whatever your schedule looks like, you can book hourly, one-way, round-trip, or multi-day packages! Local shuttles along SR-111 and SR-98 are usually billed by the hour, while long-distance charter bus trips out to San Diego or Phoenix on I-8 are priced by total mileage or day rates.
Factor 3: Where and When You're Traveling

Factor 4: Tolls, Parking, and Route Fees

Factor 5: Overnight Trips and Driver Lodging

Factor 6: Weekday vs. Weekend Travel
You can count on lower hourly minimums and better daily rates when you schedule your trip between Monday and Thursday! Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sundays see the highest demand for wedding shuttles, quinceañeras, and nights out, which pushes weekend prices and typical rental hours up. Shifting your outing to a weekday is an easy way to save!
Ways to Save
Top 4 Ways to Save on Your Calexico Charter Bus Rental
Ride on a weekday. Weekday hourly rates in the table start below weekend rates for most buses, and Sunday through Thursday typically run the lowest rates.
Fill the seats you pay for. A bigger bus costs more per hour but less per person: a full 56-passenger charter bus starts under $4 per person, per hour.
Book early. Booking early gives you the widest choice of buses for your date.
Keep your pickups together. Every extra pickup adds time on the clock, so one meeting spot keeps the hours, and the price, down.
