Charter bus prices are calculated based on several factors: the type and size of vehicle (motorcoach, minibus, party bus, etc.), the total distance or mileage of the trip, the duration of the rental (hourly, daily, multi-day), the time of year (peak vs. off-peak), and any additional services or special requests (driver lodging, tolls, parking fees). Local market demand and fuel costs may also influence the final rate.

Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your reservation. This deposit is typically due immediately upon signing the contract and is applied toward the total cost of the rental. The remaining balance must be paid in full before the start of the trip. Specific deposit amounts and payment deadlines will be outlined in your rental agreement.

The final payment for your charter bus rental is due before the trip begins. The exact deadline will be specified in your contract, but it is typically required 7–14 days prior to departure. Failure to pay the remaining balance by the due date may result in cancellation of your reservation and forfeiture of your deposit.
