Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Austin, Texas

A charter bus rental in Austin will typically cost between $1,400–$6,500+ depending on your trip details. Buses are billed by the hour, day, or mile, with rates that vary based on vehicle type, trip duration, mileage, season and availability. For the most accurate pricing, call Charter Bus Company Austin at 737-286-9900 with your exact itinerary to get an instant, all-inclusive quote.

Charter bus pricing is calculated based on the size and type of vehicle, the length of your trip (either by hours, days, or total mileage), the pickup and drop-off locations, and the time of year. Additional factors include any special amenities requested, tolls, parking fees, and whether the driver requires overnight accommodations. Local trips within Austin—such as shuttles to Zilker Park, UT campus, or downtown hotels—are often billed hourly, while longer-distance trips to Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio are priced by the day or mile.

Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your reservation. The deposit amount will be specified in your quote and must be paid before we can confirm and hold your bus. This deposit is applied toward your total rental cost, with the remaining balance due prior to your trip’s departure. We accept credit cards, debit cards, ACH transfers, and checks for deposit payments.

The final payment for your charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. The exact due date will be specified in your contract, but generally, the balance must be paid in full at least 7–14 days prior to your departure date. If you book less than two weeks before your trip, full payment is required at the time of booking. We accept major credit cards, debit cards, ACH transfers, and checks for final payment.

Our larger charter buses can accommodate up to 56 passengers and are ideal for school trips, sports teams, or large event transportation. We also offer ADA-accessible vehicles and buses with custom seating configurations upon request. If you need something smaller, we have sprinter vans and party buses available as well.

Our Austin charter buses come with a wide range of amenities to keep your group comfortable and entertained on the road. Standard features include plush reclining seats, powerful air conditioning, overhead storage compartments, and luggage bays beneath the bus. Stay connected with onboard Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs with DVD players or HDMI inputs for streaming video. Each seat has access to 110V power outlets and USB ports for charging devices. Additional amenities include PA systems, Bluetooth audio, and optional beverage coolers. Full-size coaches are equipped with clean, modern restrooms.

We also offer ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts and custom branding packages with your logo or event graphics on the exterior of the bus.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least 6 to 9 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing, especially if your trip falls during peak travel times such as spring break, summer vacation, or major events like SXSW and ACL Fest. Large events, weddings, and multi-day trips may require even more lead time. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited vehicle availability and higher rates.

If your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel must be safe, clean, and located within a reasonable distance of the group’s lodging or event venue. Most clients either book a room directly for the driver or reimburse the company for the cost. For longer trips that require multiple drivers, each driver will need separate accommodations. If your bus is traveling more than 150 miles from Austin (for example, to Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio), you may be required to provide accommodations for the driver. Please note that this is a standard industry practice and helps ensure the safety and well-being of both the driver and passengers.

No, your quote includes the base rental fee, driver’s pay, fuel, and any requested onboard amenities, but it does not cover external expenses like tolls or parking fees. Any tolls incurred during your trip will be billed separately after the trip concludes. Parking fees at venues such as the Austin Convention Center, Moody Center, or Circuit of the Americas are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid directly or reimbursed to the company. Be sure to budget for these additional costs when planning your trip.

Charter bus parking in Austin is available at several designated locations throughout the city. Downtown curbside zones are located on Trinity Street between Fourth and Seventh Streets, and on San Jacinto Boulevard between Third and Seventh Streets. These areas are ideal for groups visiting the Austin Convention Center, Sixth Street, or other downtown attractions. Additionally, the Austin Convention Center Garage offers limited bus parking for events and conventions. For longer-term parking or staging, groups can use the Travis County Expo Center lot, which accommodates oversized vehicles. Major venues like the Moody Center, Q2 Stadium, and Zilker Park also have designated bus parking areas for event attendees. Always check with your destination in advance to confirm parking availability and fees.

Austin’s public transit system, CapMetro, operates local buses, MetroRapid, MetroExpress, and the MetroRail Red Line serving downtown, UT Austin, and select neighborhoods. While affordable, fixed routes and schedules can be inconvenient for large groups, travelers with luggage, or those heading to destinations outside the service area—like airport terminals, suburban tech campuses, or Hill Country venues. A private charter bus offers door-to-door service on your schedule, ensuring everyone stays together, arrives on time, and avoids transfers or missed connections. It’s the most reliable option for group travel in and around Austin.
