San Antonio Charter Bus Rentals

The cost of a charter bus rental in San Antonio typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,000+ per day, but exact pricing depends on the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, mileage, and any special requests or add-ons. You’ll pay either by the hour, by the day, or by the mile depending on your specific itinerary. Buses with more seats and upgraded amenities (like WiFi or leather interiors) will cost more than basic models.

Charter bus pricing is based on several factors: the type and size of vehicle, the total distance and duration of the trip, the pickup and drop-off locations, and the time of year. Local trips within San Antonio are usually billed by the hour (with a 4 or 5-hour minimum), while longer trips outside the city are charged either by the day or by the mile. Additional costs like tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations may be added to your final bill.

Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your charter bus. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost and must be paid when you sign the contract. Your reservation is not confirmed until the deposit has been received. The remaining balance is due before the start of your trip.

The final payment for your charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. You can pay the balance at any time after making your initial deposit, but it must be paid in full before the bus arrives at your pickup location. If the balance is not paid on time, your reservation may be canceled and you could lose your deposit.
