What Affects Your Price
6 Factors That Affect Jacksonville Charter Bus Prices
With Charter
Factor 1: Which Bus You Choose
Through a network of independent providers, you can compare bus types ranging from 11- to 14-passenger sprinter vans and 15- to 35-passenger minibuses to 15- to 50-passenger party buses and full-size 56-passenger charter buses! Smaller shuttles cost less for quick hops around Downtown Jacksonville, while larger motorcoaches with onboard restrooms cost more.
Factor 2: How Far and How Long You Travel
That's why our flexible packages let you book hourly, one-way, round-trip, or across multiple days to match YOUR exact schedule! Local trips around Riverside or Jacksonville Beach are usually billed by the hour with a standard 2- to 5-hour windows, while long-distance charter bus rentals down I-95 are priced by mileage or day.
Factor 3: The Time of Year
Instead of getting stuck with one company's surge rates, our network helps you compare options during Jacksonville's busiest seasons! Rates typically climb in April and May for school field trips to the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, spring weddings in San Marco, and fall Jaguars home games, while winter and mid-summer dates offer lower rates.
Factor 4: Where and When You're Traveling
Let the 365-day support team help you save if you only need a quick one-way transfer to Jacksonville International Airport (JAX)! Friday and Saturday nights cost more than Tuesday afternoons, and calling us can unlock below-minimum phone deals.
Factor 5: Your Route's Travel Fees

Factor 6: Overnight Trips and Driver Lodging
Ways to Save
Top 5 Ways to Save on Your Jacksonville Charter Bus Rental
Ride on a weekday. Weekday hourly rates in the table start below weekend rates for most buses, and Sunday through Thursday typically run the lowest rates.
Fill the seats you pay for. A bigger bus costs more per hour but less per person: a full 56-passenger charter bus starts under $4 per person, per hour.
Book early. Booking early gives you the widest choice of buses for your date.
Keep your pickups together. Every extra pickup adds time on the clock, so one meeting spot keeps the hours, and the price, down.
Ask about less time. Standard minimums apply, but call us at (904) 337-4713 and we can often set up less time, a one-way, split time or a custom package.
