Several factors influence the final price of your charter bus rental, including the type and size of vehicle, number of passengers, trip distance, number of days/hours, and seasonality. Additional expenses like tolls (e.g., Benicia-Martinez Bridge), parking fees (at venues like Broadway Plaza or Lesher Center), and driver accommodations for multi-day trips may also apply. Trips during peak demand periods—such as spring break, local events like the Walnut Creek Art ∓ Wine Festival, or around major holidays—can result in higher rates due to limited availability.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the bus, driver pay, and fuel for the duration of your trip. It does not include tolls (such as those on I-680 or Highway 24), parking fees at venues like Heather Farm Park or Broadway Plaza, or hotel/lodging expenses for the driver if an overnight stay is required. A gratuity for the driver (typically 10–20%) is optional but appreciated and can be added to your final payment if desired.

We recommend booking your bus rental at least four to six months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates—especially if you’re traveling during peak times like spring break, local festivals, or wedding season. Last-minute reservations can be accommodated if vehicles are available, but selection may be limited and prices may be higher due to increased demand.
