What Affects the Price of a Charter Bus Rental?
The cost of your charter bus rental depends on several factors unique to your trip. One of the biggest factors is the type of bus you book. For example, a full-size 56-passenger charter bus with extra amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and onboard restrooms will cost more than a compact minibus shuttle. Your pickup and drop-off locations also play a big role. Buses are typically dispatched from our Orlando depot, so if your trip starts outside the immediate Deltona area or requires us to deadhead (drive without passengers) to another city, you may see additional mileage fees.
The length of your trip affects whether you’re charged hourly, daily, or by total mileage. Local trips around Deltona — such as a day at Gemini Springs Park or shuttling between hotels and the Deltona Amphitheater — usually qualify for hourly rates. Multi-day trips, like transporting a sports team from Deltona to Miami for a tournament, are often priced per day, while long-distance one-way routes are billed by the mile. Time of year matters too. Charter buses are in higher demand during spring and summer when schools and tourists are traveling, which can raise prices. Booking at least six months in advance, especially for peak seasons, helps secure the best rates and bus availability.
Additional costs not included in your quote may include tolls, parking permits, and overnight accommodations for multiday trips. For example, if your itinerary requires the bus to park at Daytona International Speedway or near a cruise terminal in Port Canaveral, you’ll be responsible for any parking fees. It’s also customary to tip your charter bus driver 5-10% of the total rental cost for good service. Have special requests? Custom wrap advertising for business events, premium onboard catering, or ADA-accessible vehicles may increase your overall price. Just let our team know what you need, and we’ll build a custom package that fits your budget.
What is included in my quote?
Your quote includes everything needed for your transportation except for tolls, parking passes, and hotel rooms for multi-day trips. Tolls are calculated based on your route and added to the final bill. Parking permits depend on your destinations; for example, bus parking at Daytona International Speedway can range from $50 to $150 per day, while Port Canaveral cruise terminal parking is typically $17 per day. If your trip spans multiple days, you’ll need to provide hotel accommodations for your driver(s), ideally in the same hotel as your group or nearby. These expenses are separate from your initial quote and should be factored into your overall trip budget.
Sample Trip Pricing Examples
Below are a few sample pricing examples for common trips in Deltona, FL and around Central Florida. Please note that these are estimates and your actual price may vary based on your specific needs and travel dates.
Local School Field Trip
Ms. Rodriguez is organizing a field trip for her 4th grade class of 28 students from Deltona Lakes Elementary. They plan to leave campus at 9:00 AM and return by 2:30 PM after visiting the Lyonia Environmental Center for hands-on science exhibits and a guided nature walk. Ms. Rodriguez receives a quote of $1,050 for a 25-passenger minibus to transport her students, herself, and three parent chaperones. With 32 total passengers, this averages out to about $33 per person. Since the nature center offers free bus parking and there are no toll roads on their route, the only additional expense is a suggested $100 tip for the driver.
Wedding Shuttle in Deltona
Samantha and Justin are getting married at The Center at Deltona and want to provide a seamless experience for their guests. Their ceremony and reception are at the same venue, but most guests are staying at two different hotels along Interstate 4. To keep everyone on schedule and avoid parking headaches, they book a 20-passenger minibus for continuous shuttle service from 2:00 PM to 11:00 PM. The quote comes to $1,400 for the nine-hour rental. Since both hotels offer complimentary bus parking, there are no extra fees, and tipping the driver 8% ($112) brings the total to $1,512. Split among 40 guests who use the shuttle, it’s under $38 per person for safe rides all evening.
Corporate Event Transportation
An event planner for a healthcare company is hosting a two-day seminar at the Hilton Garden Inn DeLand/Deltona. Employees are flying into Orlando Sanford International Airport and need group transportation to the hotel, plus daily shuttles to offsite dinners. The planner books a 35-passenger minibus for airport transfers and local shuttles. The quote comes to $1,850 for two days of service, including mileage between Sanford, the hotel, and dinner venues in DeBary and Orange City. Since hotel parking is free and there are no tolls on their planned routes, the only additional cost is booking a hotel room for the driver for one night ($150), bringing the total to $2,000. With 30 employees attending, this averages about $67 per person for hassle-free transportation.
Sports Team Away Game
The Deltona High School girls’ soccer team has qualified for the regional semifinals in Tampa. The coach needs to transport 22 players, five coaches, and equipment for an overnight trip. They depart school at 7:00 AM, arrive in Tampa by noon for a practice session, check into their hotel, then play the match at 6:00 PM. After a team dinner, they stay overnight and return to Deltona the following morning. The coach is quoted $2,900 for a 40-passenger charter bus for the two-day round trip. The school books a hotel room for the driver ($130), and since the athletic complex charges $45 for bus parking, the total comes to $3,075. Split among 27 riders, it’s about $114 each for comfortable, private transportation with luggage storage.
