Charter Bus Prices in Vancouver

Charter bus rental rates in Vancouver typically range from $150 to $350 per hour, $1,400 to $3,200 per day, or $4.50 to $8.00 per mile, depending on the size and type of vehicle. Smaller vehicles like 18-passenger minibuses are on the lower end of the spectrum, while full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches cost more. For longer trips, operators usually charge by the mile; for local or short-duration rentals, you’ll pay by the hour. There may also be additional fees for tolls, parking, driver lodging, and gratuity.

Several key factors influence the final cost of your Vancouver charter bus rental:

• Vehicle Type and Size: Larger buses with more amenities (WiFi, power outlets, restroom) cost more than smaller, basic models. Party buses and luxury coaches are priced at a premium.
• Trip Duration and Distance: Longer trips that cover more miles or span multiple days will increase the total cost. Local trips are often billed hourly, while out-of-town routes are charged by the mile.
• Season and Demand: Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school and sports travel, leading to higher rates. Booking during off-peak times can save money.
• Pickup Location: If your trip starts in a remote area outside the Portland-Vancouver metro, you may incur an additional “deadhead” fee to cover the bus traveling empty to your pickup point.
• Additional Expenses: Tolls on I-5 or SR-14, parking fees at venues like the Vancouver Convention Center, and driver lodging for overnight trips add to the base rate. A standard driver gratuity is 10-20% of the rental cost.
