A typical Walnut Creek charter bus quote includes the base rental fee for the vehicle, which is either charged hourly, daily, or by mileage, depending on the details of your trip. For example, if you’re renting a 56-passenger charter bus for a two-day corporate event in San Francisco, you might pay around $4,600 plus a 15% driver gratuity, bringing the total to $5,290. A high school baseball team traveling to a playoff game in Los Angeles could rent a 50-seat coach for $2,700, with a 10% tip bringing the final cost to $2,970. Smaller groups can save money by choosing a minibus; for instance, a church group taking a day trip to Napa Valley could book a 20-passenger minibus for $1,850, while a wedding party shuttling guests between venues in downtown Walnut Creek might pay $2,400 for a 25-passenger vehicle. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations are not included in the base price and should be budgeted separately.

Example #4: A church group from St. Mary’s Catholic Church is planning a wine-tasting excursion to Napa Valley. They book a minibus that seats 30 for the day. Final price: $1,850, with members contributing to a cash tip for the driver.

Charter bus rental pricing in Walnut Creek is influenced by several factors including the type and size of vehicle selected, the duration and distance of the trip, current demand based on seasonality or local events (such as festivals, sporting events), and any additional amenities requested.

You should book your charter bus in Walnut Creek at least four to six months before your trip to secure the best availability and pricing. If you’re traveling during peak seasons—such as spring break, summer vacation, or around major local events like the Walnut Festival—it’s especially important to reserve early, because buses often sell out quickly and last-minute bookings can be significantly more expensive. Once you have your trip dates and basic itinerary set, lock in your reservation as soon as possible; a deposit will hold your vehicle, and you can finalize passenger counts and schedules closer to the departure date.

It’s super simple! Just call our team anytime at 925-744-3390 with your trip details (date, pickup location, destination, number of passengers), or use our online quote tool to submit your information.

You’ll receive a personalized quote within minutes that includes exact pricing, available vehicle options, pictures of the buses, and a full list of amenities. If you have multiple stops or need special accommodations (like ADA-accessible vehicles), let us know and we’ll customize the quote to fit your needs.

Your quote includes the base price of the vehicle, driver compensation, and fuel. Additional expenses such as tolls, driver accommodations, cleaning fees, and parking passes are not included.
