FAQS

The price of a shuttle bus rental in Gilbert starts at $1,200–$3,500+ per day for most local trips. Smaller 18- to 25-passenger minibuses typically run $1,200–$2,500 per day, while full-size 56-passenger buses are $2,000–$3,500+ per day. You’ll get an exact, all-inclusive quote when you call Gilbert Shuttle Bus Rentals with your trip details.

The main factors that affect the price of your bus rental include the size of the vehicle, the length and duration of your trip, the time of year, and any special amenities or requests. Longer trips that require the driver to stay overnight will cost more, as you’ll need to pay for the driver’s hotel room. The exact pickup and drop-off locations also matter because we have to factor in “deadhead” time (the distance from our lot to your first stop). Peak seasons—such as spring break, major sporting events, or big festival weekends—tend to be more expensive due to higher demand. 

You can get a quote by calling our team at 602-877-0405 or filling out the online form on our website. We’ll ask for details about your trip—including pickup location, destination, travel dates, group size, and any special requests—to provide you with an accurate price. Once you receive your quote, you can book your reservation by signing the contract and making a deposit.

Your quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, and mileage based on the itinerary you provide. Taxes, tolls, and driver gratuity are not included unless specified. Additional expenses like parking fees, hotel accommodations for the driver (if required), and optional amenities may apply. We’ll break down all costs upfront so you know exactly what’s included before you sign.

You should book your bus rental at least six months in advance if your trip falls during a busy season—such as spring break, summer wedding season, or major sporting events. For other times of the year, three to six months’ notice is usually sufficient. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but it’s always best to reserve early to get the best rates and selection of vehicles.

If your trip requires an overnight stay, you must provide a separate hotel room for your driver. Most clients book a room at the same hotel where their group is staying. If your itinerary involves continuous driving beyond federal hours-of-service limits, we will assign a second driver and you will be responsible for their accommodations as well.
