The cost of renting a shuttle bus in San Diego typically ranges from $175 to $375+ per hour depending on the size of the vehicle, the length of your trip, and other factors.

Several factors influence the price of your San Diego bus rental: the type and size of vehicle you choose (18-, 20-, 25- or 56-passenger), the number of passengers, the distance and duration of your trip, the number of days you need the bus, the time of year (peak season vs. off-season), and any additional amenities or special requests. Multi-day and long-distance trips will cost more than local, single-day charters.

Your quote includes the cost of the bus, driver, fuel, and mileage based on your itinerary. It does not include the driver’s gratuity (typically 10–20%), tolls, parking fees, or hotel accommodations for the driver if required. We’ll break down all costs upfront so you know exactly what to expect before you pay anything.

We recommend booking your bus at least 4–6 weeks in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rates. If you’re traveling during a busy time—such as summer weekends, spring break, or around major events like Comic-Con—you should book even earlier. Last-minute rentals are possible if we have vehicles available, but selection may be limited.
