Shuttle Bus Prices in Sacramento, California

The cost of renting a shuttle bus in Sacramento ranges from $1,095 to $2,950 or more for a multi-day trip, depending on several factors. You may be charged by the hour, by the day, or by the mile. Hourly rates typically run $250–$395+ per hour, daily rates are $1,095–$2,950+ per day, and mileage rates are $6.00–$8.50+ per mile. The final price depends on the size of the bus (18-, 20-, 25-, or 56-passenger), the length and duration of your trip, the time of year, and any additional amenities requested. Local trips within Sacramento County are usually billed hourly, while longer trips to the Bay Area, Lake Tahoe, or out-of-state destinations are billed by mileage or as a package. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver hotel/lodging (if required) are not included in the base rate.

Several key factors influence the price of your shuttle bus rental in Sacramento:

• Trip Duration & Distance: Longer trips covering more miles will cost more. Local Sacramento-area rentals are often billed hourly, while out-of-town trips to San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, or Fresno are billed by mileage or as a flat package rate.
• Bus Size & Type: Smaller 18-, 20-, or 25-passenger minibuses are less expensive than larger 56-passenger full-size coaches. Upgrading to a bigger vehicle increases the base rate.
• Number of Buses Needed: If your group requires multiple vehicles—for example, two 25-passenger shuttles instead of one 56-passenger coach—you’ll pay for each additional bus.
• Time of Year: Demand spikes during peak seasons like spring (wedding and prom season), summer (tourist and event season), and fall (school and college transportation). Rates are higher when demand is greatest.
• Itinerary Complexity: Trips with multiple stops, layovers, or complicated routing (such as airport transfers combined with hotel shuttles) may incur additional fees.
• Additional Expenses: You are responsible for paying tolls (e.g., Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge), parking fees (at hotels, venues, or the Sacramento International Airport), and hotel/lodging for the driver if an overnight stay is required. These costs are not included in the base rental price.
