What Affects the Price of an Milpitas Charter Bus Rental?
Charter bus prices in Milpitas vary based on a few key factors—but don’t worry, we’re here to help you understand it all. The main things that affect your price are:
- Type of bus you need: A full-size 56-passenger charter bus is great for large groups heading to Levi’s Stadium, while a smaller 18-passenger minibus might be perfect for a corporate shuttle to your Milpitas office. Larger buses typically cost more to rent than smaller ones, so choosing the right size for your group is key.
- Length of your rental: Are you booking a simple airport transfer from San Jose International Airport (SJC) or a multi-day tour up the coast to Monterey? Charter buses are usually rented by the day (12-14 hours), so the longer you need the bus, the higher the cost. Overnight and multi-day trips often include driver rest time and lodging, which can affect pricing.
- Mileage and route: How far will your bus be traveling? Local trips around Milpitas and San Jose typically have a mileage cap included in the daily rate, but if you’re planning a long-distance trip to San Francisco or Lake Tahoe, mileage fees may apply. Traffic and detours can also impact mileage.
- Time of year and day of week: Peak travel seasons (spring and summer) and weekends may have higher demand and slightly higher rates. Booking well in advance can help you lock in the best price.
- Extras and amenities: Need WiFi and power outlets to keep your team connected on the way to Cisco? Want a TV and DVD player for the kids on a field trip to the Children's Discovery Museum? These features are usually standard on newer buses, but be sure to ask if they’re included. You can also request luggage space, ADA accessibility, and other options.
Our team will walk you through all of this when you call us at 669-679-8070. We make it our mission to find you the best bus for your needs and budget, with no hidden fees or surprises.
How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Charter Bus for a Week?
For week-long rentals, such as a summer camp tour or a multi-city corporate roadshow, you’re looking at a price range of about $8,000 to $15,000 for a full-size 56-passenger charter bus. This range depends on the factors mentioned above, including mileage, amenities, and the exact bus model. Weekly rentals often come with discounts, so be sure to ask our team about any special pricing for your extended trip. We’ve helped groups tour the entire California coast, travel to major festivals, and even shuttle cast and crew for film productions—and we’re ready to help you, too!

The total price for the field trip transportation was $2,700, which included a mileage cap and the option for a DVD player to be used on the way home.
