What Affects Your Price
Find the right ride at the right price by understanding how independent operators in our network calculate your custom quote! Because Templecity
Compare tons of different bus types in one search to match your group size and budget! A 56-passenger charter bus with an onboard restroom and undercarriage luggage bays costs more than a compact 18-passenger minibus or 25-passenger minibus for quick neighborhood shuttles. Celebrating a birthday or wedding? You can also compare party bus rentals for 15 to 50 passengers or a sprinter van with a driver for small groups!
We help you compare hourly, one-way, round-trip, and multi-day packages built around YOUR itinerary! Local hops between Temple City Park and Live Oak Park or a wedding shuttle along Rosemead Boulevard are typically billed by the hour with a standard 2- to 5-hour windows. Longer day trips down I-10 to Downtown Los Angeles or long-distance charter bus trips across California are priced by the mile or day. Multi-day trips that require overnight stays will also factor in a hotel room for your driver.
Templecity
Getting a bus from a massive network means you’re never stuck with what just one garage has parked in its lot! Whether your pickup is right off Temple City Boulevard or in nearby Arcadia, Alhambra, El Monte, or Rosemead, availability in your starting city affects "deadhead" mileage—the distance a bus travels empty to reach your group. With providers all over California, we keep those extra miles low!
Finding group transportation with transparent pricing means knowing what on-the-road expenses lie ahead! While your quote covers the bus and driver, your group covers venue parking and toll lanes along I-10 or I-210. For example, taking a sporting event bus to the Rose Bowl or Dodger Stadium, or booking an airport transfer to LAX or Hollywood Burbank Airport, may include facility bus parking or commercial curb fees. Planning for these ahead of time keeps your budget right on track!
On Friday and Saturday nights, buses are in high demand for weddings, concerts, and nights out, which pushes rates and hourly minimums higher! If your schedule is flexible, booking on a Monday through Thursday will score you the lowest daily rates.
Ways to Save
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.
