How Much Does a Charter Bus Rental Cost?
Charter bus rentals are the largest vehicles in our fleet and typically cost between $180 and $325 per hour or $2,000 to $3,800 per day. These coaches seat up to 56 passengers and are ideal for long-distance travel with large groups, like school trips to San Francisco or company retreats to Lake Tahoe. Charter buses include spacious luggage bays, restrooms, and premium amenities such as reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and flat-screen TVs. If your itinerary covers significant mileage (over 150 miles round-trip), you’ll likely receive a daily rate quote. For shorter local travel within Roseville—say, shuttling guests between hotels in East Roseville Parkway and a wedding venue in Rocklin—you might be quoted an hourly rate instead.

How Much Does a Party Bus Rental Cost?
Party buses are perfect for smaller groups looking to travel in style—and party on the road!—and typically cost between $170 and $400 per hour or $1,800 to $3,600 per day. These buses usually seat around 10 to 40 passengers and come equipped with luxury features like wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound systems, mini bars, flat-screen TVs, and hardwood dance floors. Party buses are popular for bachelor/bachelorette parties heading from Roseville to Downtown Sacramento, birthday celebrations on Vernon Street, and prom night transportation for local high schools like Oakmont High School and Woodcreek High School. Pricing depends on factors such as vehicle size, package duration, and seasonal demand. For example, a 4-hour party bus rental for a Saturday night bar crawl in Historic Old Town Roseville may cost more than an off-peak Sunday afternoon booking.

When you request a quote from Bus Rental Company Roseville, we’ll ask for details about your trip so we can provide an accurate price estimate. The main factors influencing your charter bus rental cost include the distance and duration of your trip, time of year, day of the week, starting and ending locations, bus type and size, and any tolls or parking fees. Understanding these variables will help you plan a budget-friendly trip.
Distance and Duration of Your Trip
The most significant factor affecting your charter bus rental price is how far and how long you’ll be traveling. Trips covering hundreds of miles outside Roseville—like multi-day tours from Placer County to Southern California or Yosemite National Park—are usually billed by the day or by total mileage (e.g., $5–$8 per mile). Local shuttles within Roseville neighborhoods such as Westpark, Highland Reserve, and Diamond Oaks, or short transfers to nearby cities like Rocklin or Citrus Heights, may be priced by the hour (e.g., $170–$500 per hour). Provide us with your full itinerary, including pickup/drop-off addresses and estimated times, so we can determine the most cost-effective billing method for your group.
The Time of Year
Charter bus prices fluctuate throughout the year based on seasonal demand. Late spring through early summer (April–June) is peak season in Roseville due to school graduations, proms, and wedding events at venues like The Falls Event Center and Timber Creek Ballroom. Fall weekends are also busy with football game-day shuttles to UC Davis or Levi’s Stadium. During these high-demand periods, rates are higher and availability is limited, so book early! Off-peak months—such as January, February, and November—tend to have lower prices and greater flexibility. If your travel dates are flexible, consider scheduling your trip during the slower season to save money.
The Day of the Week
Weekends are the busiest days for charter bus rentals in Roseville, especially for weddings, winery tours in Placer County, and concerts at Thunder Valley Casino Resort. Because of increased demand on Fridays and Saturdays, you’ll typically pay more compared to booking a bus on a weekday. If possible, schedule your group outing Monday through Thursday to access lower rates and wider vehicle selection. Our reservation specialists can help you compare pricing options based on different days of the week.
Your Starting and Ending Locations
Where your trip begins and ends affects your rental cost. If your pickup location is close to one of our Roseville depots, you’ll avoid additional charges for sending an empty bus (“deadhead”) from another city. For example, a charter bus picking up passengers in Downtown Roseville (near Vernon Street Town Square) and dropping them off at a Sacramento Kings game will be less expensive than a bus dispatched from Fresno or Reno. To minimize costs, choose pickup/drop-off points within our primary service area and consolidate multiple stops whenever possible.
Your Bus Type and Size
The type and size of the bus you rent directly impacts the price. Full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers) are the most expensive option but offer maximum capacity and amenities. Mid-size minibuses (18–35 passengers) and sprinter vans (10– 15 passengers) are cheaper alternatives for smaller groups, such as church outings to Bayside Church or corporate commutes to HP’s campus. Party buses fall somewhere in between depending on their features. When requesting a quote, specify the number of passengers so we can recommend the most suitable vehicle at the lowest price per person.
Tolls and Parking
Tolls and parking fees are not included in your charter bus quote and should be budgeted separately. Major highways near Roseville—like I-80 and CA-65—have few toll roads, but if your itinerary includes Bay Area destinations (San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose), expect bridge tolls ranging from $7 to $8.50 per crossing. Popular parking locations such as the Galleria at Roseville, Fountains at Roseville, or Sutter Health Park may require advance permits or daily rates ($25–$75 per bus). Check with each venue’s management for oversized vehicle policies and reserve parking in advance to avoid fines or delays.
Booking Timing
How far in advance you book your charter bus affects both availability and pricing. We recommend reserving your bus at least three to six months before your event date—especially for peak season travel in May/June or major events like Aftershock Festival or BottleRock Napa Valley. Last-minute bookings (less than one month out) may result in higher rates due to limited inventory. Secure your transportation early to lock in the best price and ensure your preferred vehicle is available.
Cost-Saving Tips to Consider
To reduce your overall charter bus rental cost, consider these tips: travel during off-peak months (winter), schedule trips on weekdays instead of weekends, keep your itinerary within Placer County or Greater Sacramento to avoid deadhead fees, share one large bus rather than multiple smaller ones, and book as early as possible. Splitting the total price among all passengers makes charter bus travel affordable—often less than $40 per person round-trip for local excursions.
