Frequently Asked Questions About Charter Bus Rentals in Reno

FAQS

The cost of a charter bus in Reno 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 exact itinerary. Minibuses (18–25 passengers) generally run $197–$350 per hour, while full-size 56-passenger coaches are $295–$519 per hour. Multi-day and out-of-town trips are billed either daily or by total mileage. You’ll get an exact price when you call our team with your trip details.

Several factors influence the cost of renting a charter bus in Reno: the type and size of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), number of passengers, trip duration (hours or days), total mileage, and time of year. Peak demand periods—such as major events like Burning Man, Hot August Nights, Street Vibrations, or the Reno Rodeo—can increase rates due to limited availability. Additional expenses may include tolls, parking fees at venues like the Reno-Sparks Convention Center or downtown casinos, and hotel accommodations for drivers on overnight trips. The exact pickup and drop-off locations also impact pricing, especially if your itinerary includes out-of-town destinations like Lake Tahoe, Sacramento, or San Francisco.

You should book your Reno bus rental as early as possible—ideally 4–6 months in advance—to secure the best availability and pricing. Demand is especially high during major events like Burning Man, Hot August Nights, Street Vibrations, the Reno Rodeo, and winter holidays, so reservations made less than 30 days before departure may face limited options and higher rates. Last-minute bookings are accepted if vehicles are available, but planning ahead ensures you get the exact bus you want at the lowest cost.

Full-size motorcoaches seat up to 56 passengers and are perfect for large events, school trips, or multi-day tours. All vehicles come with comfortable seating and optional amenities like Wi-Fi, power outlets, and entertainment systems.

Amenities vary by vehicle but may include reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms (on larger coaches), Wi-Fi, power outlets, USB ports, TV monitors, DVD players, PA systems, luggage storage, and tray tables. Full-size charter buses typically offer the most features, while minibuses provide basic comfort for shorter trips.
