Bus Rentals in Reno, Nevada

A charter bus is a large, privately booked vehicle that carries groups of people to a chosen destination. It’s the most popular way to travel with a group of people around Reno because it’s affordable, comfortable, and flexible! You can find charter buses on the road transporting wedding guests, sports teams, corporate teams, church groups, students, and more.

Charter buses are not the same as public transportation. Instead of following preset routes and schedules, they operate based on your itinerary. This means you get to choose exactly where and when you want to be picked up and dropped off. Whether you need a ride from Reno-Tahoe International Airport to downtown hotels or a shuttle between casinos on Virginia Street, our company gives you total control over your trip.

Our fleet includes several types of buses so we can accommodate any group size or trip type. The most common options are full-size charter buses (47–56 seats), minibuses (18–35 seats), and sprinter vans (10–15 seats). Full-size coaches are best for large groups traveling long distances—like school field trips to Sacramento Zoo or youth sports teams heading to tournaments in Las Vegas. They have cushioned reclining seats, overhead luggage racks, undercarriage storage bays, onboard restroom, TV monitors, DVD player, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and individual reading lights.

Minibuses are smaller but still comfortable and great for short-distance shuttles—such as wedding guest transportation between venues in Midtown or employee commutes from Sparks to Tesla Gigafactory. Sprinter vans are perfect for small groups who want something nicer than regular van but don’t need full bus. They’re often used by bachelor/bachelorette parties bar-hopping around Riverwalk District or corporate VIPs getting picked up curbside at RNO.

The price of renting a charter bus depends on several factors: vehicle size/type, trip distance, duration, time of year, and special requests. In general, you can expect to pay anywhere from $150 to $350 per hour for most trips within Northern Nevada. For example, an eight-hour day trip with a 56-passenger coach might cost around $2,000 total—which breaks down to less than $40 per person if you fill every seat.

Longer journeys are usually quoted at flat daily rates ($1,200–$3,000+) or by mileage ($5–$8 per mile) depending on exact routing. Weekend dates during peak seasons (summer festivals, winter ski charters) may be slightly higher due to increased demand. The best way to get accurate pricing is to call our team with your itinerary details so we can provide an instant estimate tailored to your needs.

Several variables influence how much you’ll pay for a bus rental. The biggest one is the size and type of vehicle you choose—larger buses with more amenities naturally cost more than smaller, basic models. Trip length also matters: longer distances and multi-day itineraries increase the total because of fuel, driver hours, and overnight accommodations.

Timing plays a role too. Rates are higher during busy periods like Burning Man week, UNR graduation, or major sporting events when lots of people are booking transportation at once. Last-minute reservations sometimes incur rush fees if everything else is already sold out. Finally, optional upgrades such as extra luggage trailers, custom branding wraps, or premium amenity packages will add to your final quote.

Booking a bus is easy and only takes a few minutes. Start by gathering basic information about your trip: date(s), pickup/drop-off addresses, headcount, and any special requests (ADA accessibility, Wi-Fi, etc.). Call our office at 775-362-6940 or fill out the online form to speak with a representative. We’ll ask questions to confirm your itinerary and then send you a free quote with pictures and specs of available vehicles.

If you like what you see, simply sign the contract electronically and put down a deposit to lock in the reservation. The remaining balance is due before departure. Once everything is confirmed, you’ll receive a dispatch sheet with driver contact info and exact arrival times. Customer support is available 24/7 if you need to make changes or get assistance during the trip.

All of our buses come equipped with standard features designed to keep passengers comfortable and entertained. This includes cushioned bench seats or reclining high-back chairs, climate control (A/C and heat), interior lighting, and tinted windows for privacy. Full-size coaches have overhead parcel racks for carry-on bags plus large underfloor compartments for suitcases, coolers, or band equipment.

Most models offer free Wi-Fi hotspot, USB charging ports or electrical outlets at every row, flat-screen TVs with DVD/Blu-ray player, and PA system for announcements. Restrooms are available on vehicles 40 feet or longer. Additional options like leather upholstery, hardwood-style flooring, individual tray tables, cup holders, and personal reading lamps can be requested at time of booking.

We serve all sorts of clients across many different industries and interest groups. Schools and universities rely on us for comfortable field trip transportation to places like Nevada Museum of Art, Animal Ark Wildlife Sanctuary, or Lake Tahoe hiking trails. Sports teams—from little league baseball to adult rugby clubs—book seasonal contracts for practices and away games throughout the region.

Wedding planners arrange shuttle loops between ceremony sites, photo locations, and reception halls so guests don’t drink and drive. Corporations hire employee commuter routes, offsite meeting transfers, and airport pickups for visiting executives. Religious organizations organize weekend retreats and youth camp outings. Political campaigns, concert promoters, parade floats, and film production crews all use charter buses because they’re scalable, reliable, and budget-friendly.

We cover the entire state of Nevada as well as parts of California and Oregon. Major cities within our radius include Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Gardnerville, Minden, Incline Village, Stateline, South Lake Tahoe, Truckee, Susanville, Fernley, Fallon, Elko, Winnemucca, Ely, Las Vegas, and Henderson. Regular routes connect popular destinations such as casinos on the Strip, ski resorts at Heavenly and Northstar, concert venues like Grand Sierra Resort, and convention centers downtown.

Out-of-state trips to San Francisco, Sacramento, Fresno, Portland, or Salt Lake City are easily arranged with advance notice. No job is too big or too small—we handle everything from single van airport transfers to 100-bus mega events requiring staggered dispatch and staging areas.

Getting a quote is fast, free, and comes with no obligation to book. Just call our hotline anytime day or night and tell us what you’re looking for. Be ready to provide details such as total number of passengers, exact pickup/drop-off points, preferred departure times, and list of must-have amenities. The more information you give, the more accurate and competitive your estimate will be.

Within minutes, we’ll generate a personalized proposal showing pictures, floor plans, and pricing breakdowns for one or more vehicles that match your criteria. You’re welcome to shop around and compare options before making a decision. Repeat customers and large-volume accounts may qualify for additional discounts or loyalty perks.

No, the base rate covers only the cost of chartering the bus itself plus standard mileage and driver wages. Any external expenses incurred during the course of the trip are the responsibility of the client. This includes but is not limited to highway toll plazas, paid parking lots, ferry boat crossings, campground permits, and hotel rooms for overnight layovers.

It’s customary (though not mandatory) to tip the driver 10–20% in cash at the end of the journey if you’re satisfied with the service provided. Gratuity is greatly appreciated but not automatically added to your invoice unless specifically requested.

Start by accurately estimating how many people will be riding so you don’t end up with too few or too many seats. Factor in extra space for chaperones, coaches, or last-minute additions. Think about the average age and mobility level of passengers—elderly or disabled individuals may require low-floor entry, wide aisles, and reserved priority seating near the front.

Decide which amenities are essential versus nice-to-have based on trip length and purpose. For example, overnight camping excursions need ample luggage storage while bachelor parties care more about sound systems and mood lighting. Set a realistic budget range and be upfront about it so we can suggest the best value options without upselling unnecessary features.
