Still unsure what to expect regarding charter bus pricing in Houston? Here are some examples of popular trips we’ve reserved in the past and how much they might cost:
The Field Trip at Space Center Houston
A local science teacher is planning an outing to Space Center Houston and wants to forgo traditional school buses and book a Houston bus rental for a school field trip. The passengers—49 students and 6 chaperones—will be picked up in a 56-passenger charter bus at the school at 10 AM, enjoy an early picnic lunch and explore the museum exhibits, and be dropped off back at the school by 5 PM.
1 charter bus x $120/hour x 7 hours = $840
~8% Driver’s Tip = $67
Estimated total = $907
The Belamour Wedding Shuttle
A happy couple is planning to get hitched at The Belamour and wants to ensure out-of-town guests have comfortable rides between their hotels and the venue. With a wedding shuttle service in Houston, they will have a professional bus driver and a 30-passenger minibus to keep everyone on time and ready to party. Since there will be downtime between the shuttle’s drop-off and pick-up services, they will need to secure bus-friendly parking accommodations as well.
1 minibus x $122/hour x 5 hours =
~5% Driver’s Tip = $30
Bus parking = $80
Estimated total = $720
The Conference Shuttle Service
An event organizer is coordinating a two-day conference at the George R. Brown Convention Center. They want to provide a Houston corporate shuttle service to streamline transfers to and from nearby hotels and restaurants, so the organizer opts to book three 18-passenger minibuses to pick up guests at 7 AM and run throughout the day until the event ends at 4 PM. Since the conference runs multiple days, they will reserve lodging for the bus drivers at a hotel that offers free bus parking.
3 minibuses x $1,080/day x 2 days = $6,480
~10% Drivers’ Tip = $648
Drivers’ lodging = $100
Estimated total = $7,228
