The cost of renting a charter bus in El Monte typically ranges from $197–$519 per hour or $1,600–$3,800 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, trip duration, mileage, and other variables.

Several key factors influence the final price of your charter bus rental: the type and size of vehicle you select (18-, 20-, 25-, or 56-passenger models), the total distance and duration of your trip, the number of days the vehicle is needed, the time of year (with peak demand periods affecting rates), and the pickup location relative to our available fleet depots. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations for multi-day trips are not included in the base quote and must be factored into your overall budget. Amenities requested may also impact pricing.
Getting a quote is fast and easy—simply call our reservation specialists anytime at 626-762-6320 with details about your trip (including pickup location, destination, passenger count, and travel dates), or use our online form to request pricing. Once we have your itinerary, we’ll quickly provide you with an accurate, personalized quote and help you choose the best vehicle for your needs.
Your quote includes the complete cost of chartering the bus and driver for your specified itinerary, covering all miles and hours required by your schedule. It does not include optional gratuity for the driver (typically 10–20%), nor does it cover incidental expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or hotel/lodging for the driver on overnight trips. Additional charges may apply if your trip itinerary changes after booking. Please review your contract for full details.
You should book your charter bus at least 4–6 weeks in advance to secure the best availability and pricing; however, if your trip falls during a peak season (such as spring events, summer travel, or major local happenings like the LA County Fair), reserving 2–3 months ahead is strongly recommended. Last-minute bookings are possible if vehicles are available, but selection may be limited and prices can be higher. Once you receive a quote, vehicles are not held until you sign the contract and submit your deposit.
We offer 18-, 20-, and 25-passenger minibuses as well as 56-passenger full-size charter buses. Minibuses are ideal for shuttling smaller groups around town or to special events, while 56-passenger models are perfect for large-group transportation over longer distances.
Our charter buses come with a wide range of amenities to keep passengers comfortable and entertained, including reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms (on full-size coaches), WiFi, power outlets, USB ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, PA systems, luggage racks, and underfloor storage compartments. Minibuses offer similar features but may not include restrooms or as much storage space. You can request specific amenities when you book, and we’ll make sure you get a vehicle that meets your needs.

If your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should be a comfortable, private room in a reasonably priced establishment (at least a 2-star rating or better). Many hotels offer discounted or complimentary rooms for drivers when you book a block of rooms for your group—be sure to ask about this option. For multi-day trips exceeding 10 consecutive hours of driving per day, additional driver(s) may be required, and you will need to provide accommodations for each driver. Please contact our customer service team if you have questions about driver lodging requirements.
