The cost of your charter bus rental depends on several key factors: the size and type of vehicle you select, the total mileage or duration of your trip, the time of year you’re traveling (peak demand months like spring and summer can increase rates), and the pickup location. Multi-day trips that require overnight stays will also need to cover hotel expenses for the driver. Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees at event venues, and gratuity for the driver. Local events such as the Tulare County Fair, World Ag Expo, or major sporting events can impact availability and pricing due to increased demand.

Yes! All of our charter bus rentals in Visalia are ADA-accessible and wheelchair friendly. Just let your reservation specialist know what kind of accessibility features you’ll need at least 48 hours before your departure, and we’ll ensure you have a bus rental with a wheelchair lift, widened aisles, handrails, or whatever else your passengers may require.

You should book your charter bus at least 4–6 months in advance to lock in the best availability and pricing. If your trip falls during a busy time—such as the World Ag Expo in February, wedding season in the spring, or school field trip season—it’s smart to reserve your bus even earlier, ideally 6–9 months ahead of your departure date. Last-minute bookings are possible if vehicles are still available, but you may have fewer options and could pay higher rates due to increased demand.
