How Your Price is Calculated

The price of your party bus or charter bus rental depends on a few key factors. We take into account the date and time of your rental, the size and style of vehicle you need, and any additional amenities or services you request. The length of your trip and number of stops or hours you need the vehicle also impact your quote. Your pickup location can also influence price based on our team wages and vehicle costs in your city. We consider these variables to provide you with a personalized quote that fits your unique rental needs. The specifics of your trip determine the final total.

Distance and Duration

When preparing your quote, we first look at the pickup and drop off times and addresses to determine how far and how long you’ll be traveling. For trips within Dallas, you’ll pay by the hour. For example, a 3 hour rental to shuttle your group between downtown hotels and AT&T Stadium for a Cowboys game would be charged hourly. For a full day exploring Dallas highlights like the Arboretum, Galleria mall, Reunion Tower, and finishing at an Uptown restaurant for dinner, we’d charge by the day. If your Dallas group needs transportation over multiple days like for a conference at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, you’d likely be charged per day. For long distance trips outside Dallas, or multi-day trips spanning hundreds of miles, we charge by mileage. The bottom line is the longer the trip duration and distance covered, the higher your rental cost will be.

The Season

The time of year directly impacts the cost of your charter bus rental. In Dallas, rates spike from March through June when demand skyrockets for school trips, proms, graduations, and more. Locals know these peak seasons well – the Dallas Cowboys kick off in September, the State Fair of Texas runs for 24 days in October, and the Dallas Mavericks’ and Texas Rangers’ regular seasons last from October through April. If you’re planning a group trip during these busy events, expect charter bus prices to be at their highest. For the best rates, book your Dallas bus rental in January, February or July when demand dips along with the temperatures. Planning your trip 3-6 months in advance will ensure you lock in the lowest price no matter when you need transportation.

Beginning and Final Destinations

The starting point and final destination of your bus rental determine how much “deadhead” mileage goes into your quote. Deadhead refers to the miles the bus logs getting from our headquarters to your group’s pickup location. For example, if you need a 56 passenger bus to drive from our Dallas headquarters to pick up your group in Austin and return to Dallas, that’s approximately 200 miles of deadhead factored into your quote. The good news is that as one of the largest bus companies in Texas, we have vehicles positioned all over the state in major metropolitan areas like Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, and El Paso. So no matter which two cities your trip starts and ends in, we likely have a bus already nearby to minimize deadhead costs for your rental.

Type and Number of Buses

The type of bus you select for your Dallas bus rental will impact the final price. Party buses with fiber optic lighting, premium sound systems, and flat screens cost about the same per hour as standard charter coaches. Entertainer coaches for bands have 8-12 passenger seats, kitchens, bathrooms, bunks, satellite TVs and more—so they rent for higher rates. School buses lack amenities like A/C, restrooms, luggage space, and often cannot travel far. Their lower rates reflect fewer features. For short trips under 4 hours, minibuses cost $100-200 less than full-sized buses. With fewer than 35 passengers, a minibus helps small groups save money. The number of buses you need also affects overall cost. One 56-passenger bus costs less per person than two 28-passenger buses. Choose the right type and number of buses for passenger count and trip details to optimize your Dallas bus rental.

How to Keep Costs Down

Book at least 3 months in advance. This gives us time to find you the best rates on the perfect bus. Summer weekends like Fourth of July are extremely busy, so avoid those. Instead, aim for a fall or winter weekday. Staying flexible on your route is key – avoiding toll roads like the DNT or routes near stadium events cuts costs. Finally, opting out of add-ons like wifi or satellite TV can trim a little off the final price. With some advanced planning, you can secure a quality bus rental in Dallas for less.

Sample Trip Quotes

To give you a ballpark idea, here are some sample quotes for requests we’ve gotten from our customers:

Example #1:

A science teacher at a high school in Dallas plans a field trip for her biology students to visit the Dallas Zoo. She expects around 100 students to attend, so she reserves two 56-passenger charter buses to transport the group. The charter bus company quotes her $150 per bus for 8 hours of service, so her total transportation cost is $1,200. This covers pickup from the school at 8am, drop off at the zoo at 9am, pickup from the zoo at 3pm, and return to school by 4pm. With 100 students divided over the two buses, each student’s share of the cost is only $12 for a full day of transportation. The teacher tips 10% for providing a smooth, timely trip. So the total cost comes to $1,320, making the Dallas Zoo field trip an affordable learning experience for her students.

Example #2

A marketing director at a Fortune 500 company in Dallas plans a team outing for her top-performing employees. She wants to reward her team with a fun day exploring the city. She chooses to take the 15 team members to the Dallas Arboretum, Reunion Tower, and the Sixth Floor Museum. To make travel easy, she rents a 25-passenger charter bus for the day. The charter bus picks them up at their office and takes them directly to each destination. She rents the Dallas charter bus for 10 hours from 9am-7pm on a Saturday. The rate is $150 per hour, totaling $1,500 for the day. With 25 passengers, it comes out to only $60 per person. The marketing director tips the professional charter bus team 10% at $150 for providing excellent service. The total cost of their Dallas corporate charter bus rental is $1,650. Having their own charter bus allows the team to fully enjoy their day together in Dallas.

Example #3:

The varsity football team at a Dallas high school is heading to an away game in Austin next weekend. With 50 players, 5 coaches, and equipment to transport, renting a charter bus is the best option. After getting quotes, they decide to book a 56-passenger charter bus for the trip. The total rental cost comes to $950 – they are getting picked up at the high school at 6 AM on Saturday morning, driven to Austin for the afternoon game, and then dropped back off that night by 11 PM. The base rate is $125/hour, and they need the bus for about 8 hours including pickup, dropoff, and waiting during the game. There is also a 100-mile minimum charge, which covers the round trip mileage between Dallas and Austin. To thank, they tip 10%, adding just $95. So the total for reliable transportation for the entire team comes to $1,045.

A group of 30 coworkers at a tech startup in Dallas plan a team outing to Six Flags Over Texas for some thrills and team bonding. They decide to book a charter bus for the 25 mile trip from their office in downtown Dallas to the amusement park to keep the group together. They rent a 37 passenger charter bus for 10 hours from 8AM to 6PM on a Saturday in June. The total cost for the 10 hour Dallas charter bus rental comes to $1,260. With 30 passengers splitting the cost, each person’s share comes out to just $42 for a relaxing ride to the park and back, cheaper than driving themselves and paying for parking. They have plenty of room to spread out on the charter bus, and enjoy tunes and snacks on the drive over. At the end of the fantastic day, they tip their friendly charter bus team 10%, bringing their grand total to $1,386.

The couple tips 10% ($90) for excellent service. Factoring the gratuity, their Dallas charter bus rental for their wedding day transportation totaled $990, making it under $10 per person.
