What Affects the Price of an Lancaster Charter Bus Rental?

Charter bus pricing is unique for every group. To give you the most accurate quote, we consider all the details of your trip. Here are the biggest factors that affect your Lancaster charter bus rental cost:

1. Type of Bus

We offer many types of buses, each with its own price range. Full-size charter buses (up to 56 passengers) are usually $1,000 to $3,500 per day. Minibuses (15 to 35 passengers) are $800 to $1,800. Luxury coaches and specialty vehicles cost more. Choosing the right bus for your group size is key to getting the best price.

2. Trip Duration

Are you booking for a few hours, a full day, or multiple days? Hourly rentals are great for short events, while daily rates are better for all-day trips. Multi-day trips get special weekly rates. Make sure to tell us exactly when your trip starts and ends so we can quote you correctly.

3. Mileage
