Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Fresno, California

Charter bus rentals in Fresno typically cost between $1,100 and $3,500 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. Local trips are often billed hourly (with 4- or 5-hour minimums), while longer out-of-town or multi-day charters are priced by the mile or day. Smaller vehicles like minibuses cost less, while full-size motorcoaches and specialty buses are at the higher end.

Pricing is based on the type and size of the bus, length and distance of the trip, pickup location, time of year, and any special requests. Local Fresno trips are usually billed hourly with a minimum number of hours. Longer trips to places like Yosemite or Los Angeles are billed by mileage or as a flat daily rate. Additional factors include tolls, parking, and optional amenities.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your Fresno bus rental. This deposit is typically due when you sign the contract and can be paid by credit card, check, or ACH transfer. The deposit amount varies but is usually a percentage of the total rental cost. Your reservation isn’t confirmed until we receive both the signed contract and deposit.

The final payment for your Fresno charter bus rental is due before the trip begins. We’ll specify the exact due date in your contract, but it’s typically 7 to 14 days prior to departure. This ensures all funds are cleared before service. If you book last-minute, full payment may be required immediately. We accept credit cards, checks, and ACH transfers for final payment.

Yes, your Fresno charter bus quote will include a standard driver gratuity, usually around 10% of the base fare. This is automatically added to the total cost so you don’t have to worry about tipping separately. However, if you feel your driver provided exceptional service, you’re welcome to give an additional cash tip at the end of the trip. Just hand it directly to the driver.

We offer everything from 18 to 35-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, plus party buses, school buses, and sprinter vans.

Available amenities include reclining seats, climate control, onboard WiFi, power outlets, PA systems, DVD monitors, luggage bays, and restrooms. Larger motorcoaches offer flat-screen TVs, USB ports, and forward-facing seating. Premium upgrades include leather upholstery, tray tables, and custom branding. Party buses feature sound systems and LED lighting. Let us know what you need!

It’s best to book your Fresno charter bus 6 to 9 months in advance, especially if your trip is during peak seasons like spring (school events, graduations) or fall (sports, weddings). Summer trips to Yosemite or Sequoia also fill up fast. Last-minute rentals are possible, but availability and vehicle selection may be limited. Book early for the best rates and options.

Yes, if your Fresno charter bus trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should offer comfortable lodging with easy access to the bus and must meet Department of Transportation (DOT) rest requirements. Most groups book a room at the same hotel where they are staying, but any nearby hotel is acceptable as long as it meets these criteria.

No, your Fresno charter bus quote does not include tolls, parking, or venue-specific fees. These additional costs are the responsibility of the renter and must be paid separately. Tolls will be invoiced after the trip if incurred, while parking fees must be arranged and paid directly to the facility or event venue.

Designated bus parking is available at the Fresno Convention Center, Chukchansi Park, Save Mart Center, and most Fresno Unified school campuses. Downtown street parking is limited, but there are oversized vehicle lots near Fulton Street and city garages. For airport pickups, Fresno Yosemite International has a charter lot. Always confirm parking in advance.

Fresno Area Express (FAX) operates fixed-route buses, but coverage is limited outside city center and schedules aren’t flexible. A private charter bus offers door-to-door service on your timetable, keeps groups together, and provides superior comfort for longer trips or special events. It’s the best option for custom routes, large groups, or regional travel.

We provide charter bus service to and from Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT), as well as regional connections to Visalia Municipal Airport (VIS), Merced Regional Airport (MCE), and Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH). We also handle custom group transfers to larger hubs like Sacramento (SMF), San Jose (SJC), and Oakland (OAK) upon request.
