Charter Bus Rentals Modesto, California

The cost of renting a charter bus in Modesto typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 per day, but prices can vary widely based on the size of the vehicle, the length of the trip, and the time of year. Shorter local trips may be billed by the hour (usually with a 4- or 5-hour minimum), while longer or multi-day trips are charged by the day or by the mile. For example, a 56-passenger motor coach might run $180–$250 per hour or $4,000–$5,500 per day, while a 25-passenger minibus could be $135–$200 per hour or $2,500–$3,500 per day. The best way to get an accurate price is to call 350-226-0620 and request a personalized quote based on your exact itinerary and vehicle needs.

Here are some sample price quotes for common trips in and around Modesto:

• A one-day rental of a 56-passenger motor coach for a school field trip to Sacramento (about 90 miles each way) might cost $3,500–$4,500.
• A 25-passenger minibus doing a 5-hour wedding shuttle between downtown Modesto and venues in Turlock could be $1,250–$1,750.
• A corporate group booking a 20-passenger minibus for a two-day event with local hotel shuttles might pay $2,600–$3,200.
• A sports team taking a 56-passenger bus to a weekend tournament in Fresno would likely see a quote around $4,200–$5,000.

Keep in mind that these are just estimates—your actual price will depend on your exact pickup location, schedule, vehicle type, and current demand.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Modesto:

• Vehicle type and size: Larger buses (like 56-passenger coaches) cost more than smaller minibuses, but the price per seat may be lower on bigger vehicles.
• Trip duration and distance: Longer trips—whether by hours, days, or miles—will increase the total cost. Local Modesto rentals might be billed hourly, while trips to places like San Francisco or Los Angeles are charged by the mile or day.
• Time of year: Spring and summer are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sports events, which can drive up rates.
• Pickup and drop-off locations: If your trip starts or ends far from the operator’s base (deadhead), you may pay extra for the empty miles.
• Itinerary complexity: Multiple stops, tight schedules, or routes through congested areas (like downtown Modesto or Highway 99 construction zones) can add to the cost.
• Special requests: Premium amenities, custom wraps, tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging/meals for overnight trips will increase your final price.

Most modern charter buses come equipped with reclining seats, air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, reading lights, and luggage compartments under the floor. Larger buses (and some minibuses) offer flat-screen video monitors, DVD players, PA systems, Wi-Fi, 110V/USB power outlets, and forward-facing seats. Optional amenities include leather upholstery, tray tables, footrests, individual lighting controls, and tinted windows. Full-size coaches typically have a restroom at the rear of the cabin. Be sure to request any specific amenities you need when booking.

Yes, most full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers) are equipped with a restroom located at the rear of the coach. The restroom is typically a half-bath with a toilet and hand sanitizer or a small sink. It’s designed for emergency use rather than as a primary facility. Smaller vehicles, such as minibuses and sprinter vans, usually do not have a restroom on board due to space constraints. If you need a vehicle with a restroom, please specify this when requesting your quote.

Yes, many newer charter buses are equipped with 110V power outlets and USB charging ports either at each seat or shared between pairs of seats. This allows passengers to charge laptops, tablets, and phones during the trip. Older buses may not have power outlets, so if this feature is important to your group, please request a vehicle with onboard power when booking. Our team can provide a bus that meets your specific needs.

Yes, most of our newer minibuses and full-size motor coaches offer onboard Wi-Fi. This amenity is great for business travelers who need to stay connected, students working on assignments, or anyone who wants to stream music and videos during the trip. Just let your reservation specialist know if Wi-Fi is a must-have, and we’ll make sure you get a bus that meets your needs.

Yes—larger buses have spacious undercarriage bays for suitcases and equipment, plus overhead racks inside the cabin for smaller bags. You’ll have plenty of room for luggage, coolers, or sports gear.

We have vehicles that can seat anywhere from 10 to 56 passengers. Minibuses typically hold 18 to 28 people, while full-size motor coaches can accommodate up to 56. If you’re traveling with a very large group, we can send multiple buses.

In downtown Modesto, charter buses can load and unload passengers near 10th Street Plaza, the Gallo Center for the Arts (on I Street between 10th and 12th), and the Modesto Centre Plaza (on K Street or 11th Street). For longer-term parking, consider using the Amtrak station lot on Held Drive, the Modesto Centre Plaza garage, or the Vintage Faire Mall perimeter lots—just coordinate with venue staff ahead of time. Schools like Modesto High and Downey High often direct buses to side-street zones on G or Coffee Road, respectively. For airport runs, use the designated commercial curb at Modesto City–County Airport off Tenaya Drive. Always confirm staging and parking details with your destination before arrival, as rules can change.

It’s best to book your charter bus rental as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and summer are especially busy due to school trips, weddings, and sports events, so vehicles can book up quickly. Last-minute rentals are possible, but your choice of vehicle may be limited and prices may be higher. As soon as you know your trip dates and rough itinerary, contact us for a quote. We can finalize the details later, but early booking gives you the most options.

Getting a quote is easy—just call our team at 350-226-0620 or fill out the online form with your trip details. We’ll need to know your pickup location, destination, departure and return times, group size, and any special requirements. You’ll get a detailed quote in minutes.

Your quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, and all mileage. Tolls, parking, and driver lodging (for overnight trips) are typically not included and will be billed separately. Gratuity is optional but appreciated.

Once you receive a quote, you can book your bus by signing the contract and paying a deposit. The balance is due before the day of the trip. We accept all major credit cards and can arrange payment plans for larger bookings.

Yes, you can rent a bus for as many days as you need. Multi-day and overnight trips are common and can be easily accommodated. If your itinerary includes overnight travel, you will need to provide hotel accommodations for the driver. Most hotels offer discounted rates for bus drivers, and the room does not need to be anything fancy—just clean and safe. Be sure to include all your planned stops and schedule details when requesting a quote so we can provide accurate pricing and ensure compliance with driver hours-of-service regulations.
