Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of a Sacramento shuttle bus rental typically ranges from $1,495 to $5,000+ for local packages and $2,500 to $7,000+ for longer or multi-day trips—but final pricing depends on your exact itinerary, vehicle size, and availability. You’ll pay either an hourly rate (usually $200–$400 per hour with a 5-hour minimum), a flat day rate ($1,800–$3,500+ per day), or a per-mile rate ($8–$12 per mile) depending on the structure of your trip. Smaller 18–25 passenger minibuses are less expensive than full-size 56-passenger charter buses. The only way to know your exact price is to call our team with your trip details and get an instant quote.

Sacramento shuttle bus rental prices are affected by the size of the bus (number of seats), the length of the trip (miles and hours), the number of days the bus is needed, the time of year (peak vs. off-peak), the pickup location (distance from operator), and the demand for vehicles around major events or holidays. Additional costs like tolls, parking fees, and driver hotel/lodging are not included in the base price and must be paid separately by the customer.

You can get a quote from Sacramento Shuttle Bus Rentals by calling our reservations team anytime at 279-255-0260 or using the online quote form on our website. To receive an accurate price, you’ll need to provide your pickup location, destination, trip dates, passenger count, and any special requests or required amenities. Once you contact us with your trip details, we’ll quickly generate a customized quote and send it to you via email.

Your quote includes the cost of the bus, driver, fuel, and standard amenities. It does NOT include additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or hotel/lodging for the driver if required—these must be arranged and paid for separately by the customer. Gratuity for the driver is also not included in the base price but is recommended (typically 10–20%). Your contract will clearly outline all terms, payment schedule, and cancellation policy.

You should book your Sacramento bus rental at least 4–6 weeks in advance to secure the best availability and pricing; if your trip falls during a busy period—such as spring sports seasons, major festivals like Aftershock or BottleRock, or around holidays—you should reserve your vehicle 2–3 months ahead of time. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but selection will be limited and prices may be higher due to demand. Once you receive a quote, vehicles are not held until you sign the contract and make a deposit, so it’s important to confirm your reservation quickly to lock in your bus and rate.
