Santa Ana Charter Bus Rentals from Charter Bus Company Santa Ana

Charter bus rentals in Santa Ana typically cost between $1,400 and $2,800 per day for a standard 56-passenger coach, with hourly rates ranging from $175 to $325 per hour and mileage rates from $4.50 to $8.00 per mile. Minibuses are more affordable, averaging $1,100–$2,300 per day, $145–$285 per hour, or $3.85–$6.55 per mile. Final pricing depends on your trip’s duration, mileage, vehicle type, and any additional fees like tolls, parking, or driver accommodations.

A charter bus rental quote is determined by several factors: the length of your trip (either by hours, days, or mileage), the size and type of bus you need, the time of year you’re traveling, and the pickup location. Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging for multi-day trips. Once you provide your full itinerary—including all pickup and drop-off addresses and times—we’ll give you an exact, all-inclusive quote.

Yes, every reservation requires a non-refundable deposit to secure your booking. The amount will be specified in your contract and must be paid by the deadline provided to confirm your reservation. Without this deposit, your bus is not guaranteed and may be booked by another party. Be sure to review your contract carefully for the deposit terms and payment instructions.

Your final payment is due before the start of your trip, by the date specified in your contract. You can pay your balance online through our secure portal using a credit card, ACH transfer, or other approved methods. We recommend settling your balance as early as possible to avoid any issues or delays on the day of your trip. Your reservation must be paid in full before the bus departs.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least six to nine months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak travel seasons such as spring (April-June) and summer (July-August). Early booking ensures the best selection of vehicles, allows ample time to finalize your itinerary, and often secures better rates. Last-minute reservations are possible but may limit your options and result in higher prices. Contact our team as soon as you have tentative dates and headcounts so we can help you lock in the perfect vehicle for your trip.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay or spans multiple days, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel must be within a reasonable distance of the group’s lodging or event venue to comply with federal regulations regarding driver rest periods. Many hotels offer discounted “driver rates” for charter bus operators, so be sure to ask when making your reservation. If you prefer, our team can arrange the driver’s accommodations and add the cost to your final invoice for convenience.

No, your charter bus quote does not automatically include tolls, parking fees, or other incidental expenses incurred during the trip. These additional costs are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid either in advance or directly to the driver upon request. If your itinerary includes routes with toll roads or destinations with mandatory parking fees (such as airports, stadiums, or downtown venues), please inform your reservation specialist so these charges can be estimated and added to your final invoice for convenience.

Charter bus parking in Santa Ana is available at several locations, including designated curbside zones near the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) on East Santa Ana Boulevard, large public lots adjacent to the Civic Center and County Courthouse, and private facilities at venues like the OC Fair & Event Center and MainPlace Mall. For events at the Honda Center or Angel Stadium, use their official bus parking areas. Always check local regulations and contact your destination ahead of time to confirm parking availability and fees, as some areas require advance reservations or permits.

Santa Ana’s public transit options include OCTA fixed-route buses, Metrolink commuter rail, and limited ACCESS paratransit services. While these can be useful for individuals, they aren’t ideal for groups traveling together—especially if you have a tight schedule or need to reach destinations outside standard service areas. A private charter bus keeps everyone on the same timetable, offers door-to-door service anywhere in Orange County or beyond, and provides comfortable seating with room for luggage. It’s the easiest way to move large groups without worrying about missed connections or last-mile logistics.
