Charter Bus Mission Viejo works with many different bus companies across California, and each provider has slightly different rates. But generally, pricing is determined by whether your group is quoted by the day, hour, or mile based on what kind of travel plan your group has in mind. The price per hour is usually only used for local trips that last several hours. Multi-day trips are more often quoted by the day. And there are also special packages like one-ways, and round trips that we also offer. It all varies depending on many different factors.
Travel Distance & Time
Mission Viejo bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage, depending on your specific travel plan. One-off trips that are short and sweet and don’t leave the city the bus is stationed in (aka local trips) will be likely calculated by the hour. On average, most California charter bus companies require a minimum number of hours, but if your journey requires less time on the road, your Charter Bus Mission Viejo representative will work with you to figure something out that meets your schedule and budget. Group trips and occasions that span multiple days — such as a trip to destinations like Disneyland or even a sports tournament — are typically charged by the day. If you’re not traveling over a long distance but your group trip needs transportation locally for multiple days in a row (like shuttling guests between hotels), your rate will also likely be based on daily charges. Long-distance road trips where you won’t be staying in one spot for too long will be charged by mileage. To ensure the bus rental pricing quote you receive reflects your itinerary, make sure you have every drop-off and pick-up location planned out, with addresses.
Time of Year and Seasonality
Another thing that impacts the cost of your bus rental is when you are traveling. Some times of year, such as April, May, June, September, and October tend to be more expensive for Mission Viejo charter buses due to limited bus availability. The increased demand in bus rentals for these months is due to several events and happenings, such as proms, school field trips, wedding ceremonies, bachelor parties, and more. If your trip happens to be around a major event, demand may increase, making securing a Mission Viejo charter bus rental more difficult and pricier. Always check your city’s event calendar before finalizing your travel dates. It also helps to have your itinerary completely finalized when you call so you won’t be subjected to additional charges for unexpected mileage.
Reserving Your Charter bus and Availability
If your travel itinerary includes a start point in an area with low availability (usually the case for groups traveling in less-populated areas), Mission Viejo charter bus pricing can increase. Additionally, if you are trying to book in these areas with short notice, your rate may increase due to less availability. And speaking of less availability, you may encounter additional fees if your driver has to drive a long distance from their base in order to meet you at your start point. This mileage that accumulates with no passengers onboard is known as “deadhead.” To reduce this cost, try to reserve a bus from a charter bus company that operates near your group’s pickup or dropoff location.
Bus Type & Passenger Count
The most obvious difference that will influence your bus rental cost is what type of bus you’ll need to book, along with how many seats you’ll need. For short trips, a full-sized motorcoach may not be needed. If you are sticking to local travels, consider renting a minibus instead. Minibuses usually have lower hourly and daily rates than Mission Viejo motorcoaches. We offer a large selection of vehicles in our network of minibuses, party buses and charter buses in Mission Viejo, and they come in all shapes and sizes. Some of the smaller buses fit anywhere from 12- 18 people, while larger charter buses can accommodate up to 56 passengers!

Our team is here to help you with every step along the way!
The Impact of the Day of the Week on Pricing
Weekend rentals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays (Monday-Thursday). When there’s less demand for Mission Viejo bus rentals, like during weekdays (and as long as you aren’t booking around a busy game day or a holiday), you’ll often be charged a lower price. On the other hand, on Friday and Saturday nights when there’s a higher demand for buses—companies usually raise the minimum rental hour limit and charge an increased rate per hour to meet that demand. If your celebration can be rescheduled to a day earlier in the week, consider celebrating Tuesday or Wednesday to get the best rate.
Time of Day Pricing
Looking to save a few bucks on your Mission Viejo bus rental? Try booking a daytime trip! Because party buses are so popular for nights out, weddings, bachelor/ette parties, and concerts—most companies charge higher hourly rates during the evening (past 6pm) to meet the demand. Fridays and Saturday nights are typically when bus companies see the highest volume of requests, so you’re almost guaranteed a higher price when reserving a ride during peak weekend times. Certain days throughout the week, like a Monday or Wednesday afternoon, may even come with a reduced minimum number of rental hours required for your reservation.
Amenities On Your Mission Viejo Bus Rental
Many amenities, such as WiFi, plush seating, and ADA-accessible features, come standard on each bus model. Other amenities, like onboard restrooms, televisions with DVD players, and electrical outlets might come at an additional charge. Let your reservation specialist know if you’d like to make any specific requests, and we’ll make sure those requests are reflected in your bus quote. Some providers offer discounts if you prepay or book your bus at least six months in advance! Just ask your Charter Bus Mission Viejo representative if you qualify!
Extra Charges and Costs
Your quote may not include road tolls, tip and parking fees. Be prepared to pay these out of pocket while traveling, or ask your representative if those can be included when you book. You may also be required to pay for lodging and other accommodations for your driver if your trip will last longer than a day. Please call us to confirm exact pricing.
Save Some Money On Your Mission Viejo Bus Rental
Want to save a little on your next Mission Viejo bus rental? It’s much easier than you might think! Here are a few tips to get the best possible price on your rental! Have a finalized headcount before you book. Adding people may require a larger bus and increase your cost, and removing people could mean you overpaid for a vehicle that’s too big for your group. Reduce deadhead mileage by booking a bus that’s already located in the city you are leaving from. (Remember, deadhead refers to mileage that accumulates without passengers.) Book early, especially during the busy months of April, May, and June. Reduce the number of hotel rooms you need to book for your driver. Choose a destination city near your start city and reduce the amount of days you need your charter bus rental to avoid additional costs for lodging. Find venues with easy parking access for oversize vehicles and inquire with your hotel about complimentary parking options for your bus.
