Several factors can influence your final bus rental price. To get the most accurate quote, it’s best to have your trip details ready. Knowing when and where you’ll be traveling, how many passengers need a ride, and what amenities you’d like will help our team find the perfect bus for your group.
How Far and How Long are You Traveling?
When determining your final quote, we look at your trip’s distance and how long you’ll be on the road. If your group is staying within Indio city limits and only needs a shuttle for a few hours, you’ll likely be charged by the hour. Most bus companies in the Coachella Valley require a minimum number of hours per reservation, usually 5. If you need a bus for less time, contact us and our reservations team will help you create a shorter package.
However, if your group is venturing out of Indio, such as for a trip to the mountains or to a city like Los Angeles, you may pay a daily rate based on mileage instead. This pricing structure is also useful for multiple-day trips, like a multi-day music festival or an out-of-town wedding.

When in the Year Are You Traveling?
Bus pricing can change throughout the year depending on when you’re traveling. Summer months (April-June) are more expensive due to increased demand. Popular holidays like New Year’s and big events like Coachella Music & Arts Festival can cause bus prices to surge. To save your group some money, consider planning your trip in the off-season (January, February, or July).

Where Are Your Pick-up and Drop-off Locations?
If your charter bus company has to drive from their headquarters to your pick-up location and your pick-up is far away, the cost of your bus rental will increase. This price is known as “deadhead.” Reduce this fee by booking a charter bus that’s located in your pick-up city. The same goes for your drop-off location.
What Kind of Bus are You Booking, and How Big is Your Group?
What type of bus are you renting and how many people are in your group? This will determine which size of bus you need. For instance, a 56-passenger charter bus will cost more than a minibus, but it can accommodate a much larger group. With more seating space, restrooms and even WiFi, charter buses are perfect for groups with larger headcounts and longer trips. If your group is smaller, you may want a minibus, and these range from 15-passenger models to 35-passenger options. Some of the larger minibuses include bathrooms and luggage storage bays, while the compact, 18-passenger minibus is a more affordable option for groups wanting to save money. Minibuses also typically have a lower hourly or daily rate compared to full-size coaches.
For a private event, we can recommend a party bus rental in Indio. These range from 10 to 50 passengers and are designed for fun, with amenities like TVs, DVD players, stereo systems, bars, colorful lighting and more!
No matter how large or small your group is, Charter Bus Indio will find you a vehicle at the right price!
Which Day of the Week are You Traveling?
Prices for charter buses tend to increase on weekends, starting on Friday. Many private events, weddings, and social celebrations happen on Fridays and Saturdays. When there’s a higher demand for charter bus and party bus rentals, many companies increase their hourly rates, or the minimum amount of hours they require for a rental, or both. If your trip isn’t limited to weekends, you may be able to rent your bus for a cheaper price on weekdays.
What Time of Day Are You Traveling?
Like many event vendors and services, charter bus rates are higher in the evenings due to increased demand, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights. Save your group some money by planning a daytime trip for a lower hourly rate. In fact, many of the transportation companies we partner with offer lower rates during business hours or on weekdays. If your day trip doesn’t have to start at night or on the weekend, plan your trip early in the day or during the week for a more affordable trip. Even if your trip has to take place at night or on a weekend, don’t worry! Charter Bus Indio will still ensure you receive the best possible price for your party bus, limo, or charter bus rental.
What Amenities Are You Looking For?
All buses can come with the same basic amenities, such as plush, reclining seats and climate control. But most premium amenities are available for an additional charge, depending on the bus provider. These can include WiFi and power outlets for keeping your group connected on the road and TV screens with DVD players to entertain passengers during long stretches of time.
If your group has passengers with disabilities, you should request an ADA-compliant bus at no extra cost. Just make sure you mention any additional accommodation needs during your initial contact or as soon as possible.
Costs for your Trip
Once your driver and charter bus rental have been confirmed by Charter Bus Indio, the big travel planning tasks are taken care of. But the cost of a charter bus rental isn’t always all-inclusive. Your initial quote will typically only include the price for your charter bus rental, the driver’s hourly rate, and a few essential trip requirements like gas. Some of the following factors may also contribute to your final cost. Overnight costs for your driver during a multi-day trip. Road tolls and parking fees. Driver tips (generally 15-20% of the total fare). Your reservation specialist can also provide an estimated cost for these additional expenses if requested.
