Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rentals in Sacramento
FAQS
Sacramento Coach Bus Service offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets in the state, with vehicles sized for every group and itinerary. You can book anything from a 15- to 35-passenger minibus (built by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, or Tiffany Coach Builders) to a 40- to 56-passenger charter bus (by MCI, Prevost, or Van Hool), plus party buses (10-50 passengers), sprinter vans (10-15 passengers), and classic school buses. Each vehicle type comes with its own set of amenities and floor plans, so you’ll always have the right amount of space and the features your group wants most.
The price of a Sacramento bus rental depends on several factors: the size and type of bus you choose, how many days or hours you need it, your exact pickup and drop-off locations, and what time of year you’re traveling. For example, a 56-passenger charter bus typically costs $145 to $550+ per hour, $1,520 to $5,000+ per day, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile, while a 25-passenger minibus ranges from $150 to $450+ per hour, $1,520 to $3,465+ per day, or $4.00 to $9.95 per mile. Party buses and sprinter vans are priced separately, with daily, hourly, and weekend rates available. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call our team at 279-348-7560 with your trip details.
Your quote covers the use of the bus for the duration of your trip, all standard onboard amenities (like WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, A/C, and restrooms on larger models), and mileage based on your itinerary. Optional upgrades such as premium entertainment packages, custom branding, or additional luggage space may be available for an extra fee. Tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging (for multi-day trips) are not included and should be planned for separately.
We recommend booking your bus as early as possible—ideally three to six months before your travel date—to get the best selection and rates. Spring and summer are especially busy due to graduations, weddings, and festival season (like Aftershock and the California State Fair), so buses fill up fast. Last-minute rentals are sometimes available, but your options may be limited.
Yes, we offer one-way, round-trip, and multi-city itineraries to suit any travel plan.

Charter bus parking is available at several locations in downtown Sacramento, including designated zones near the State Capitol, Golden 1 Center, and Crocker Art Museum. For longer stays, buses can park at Cal Expo, Raley Field (now Sutter Health Park), or the Sacramento Zoo’s overflow lot. Always check with your destination for specific instructions, as street parking is limited and enforcement is strict.
