Whatever your itinerary, we have the right bus for your needs.
Ventura bus rental pricing depends on several factors, including the type of vehicle, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. For example, a 56-passenger charter bus typically costs $145–$550 per hour, $1,520–$5,000 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile. Minibuses (15–35 passengers) range from $150–$450 per hour, $1,520–$3,465 per day, or $4.00–$9.95 per mile. Party bus rentals start at $180–$500+ per hour on weekdays and $200–$520+ per hour on weekends, while sprinter vans are $160–$400+ per hour on weekdays and $180–$450+ per hour on weekends. The best way to get an exact quote is to call our team at 820-732-2530 with your trip details—we’ll provide a custom estimate in minutes!
The main factors that affect the price of your Ventura bus rental are: the type and size of vehicle you choose (minibuses and sprinters cost less than full-size coaches or party buses), the length of your trip (hourly, daily or multi-day), the total mileage (local vs. long-distance), and the time of year (spring and summer are peak season for weddings, graduations and tourism). Other factors include special requests like multiple stops, late-night service, or premium amenities such as onboard restrooms, WiFi or custom interiors. For example, a weekend wedding shuttle between Ventura Harbor Village and Ojai will cost more than a weekday corporate transfer from Downtown Ventura to Camarillo. To get the most accurate quote, have your headcount, itinerary and must-have features ready when you contact us.
