Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Sacramento, California

A charter bus is a large vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public buses with fixed routes, charter buses follow the itinerary set by the group—making them ideal for field trips to the California State Railroad Museum, corporate shuttles between downtown offices and parking lots, or sports team travel to Golden 1 Center. Charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and include amenities like cushioned seats, climate control, Wi-Fi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, and TV monitors. Smaller options like minibuses (20–35 seats) are available for shorter trips or tight streets in Midtown and Old Sacramento.

Charter Bus Company Sacramento offers one of the largest fleets in Sacramento County, including full-size charter buses (47–56 seats), minibuses (18–35 seats), entertainer coaches for band tours, and specialty vehicles like sprinter vans and school buses.

Whether you need a single bus for a wedding at Scribner Bend Vineyards or multiple vehicles for large events like Aftershock Festival, we have options with custom layouts and amenities.

The average cost of renting a charter bus in Sacramento ranges from $1,200 to $3,000+ per day depending on vehicle size, trip length, and season. Local trips under four hours may be quoted at $150–$250 per hour with a three- or four-hour minimum. Full-day rentals for field trips or corporate outings typically run $1,400–$2,400. Multi-day packages for sports teams or band tours are priced at $4.50–$7.50 per mile or flat daily rates based on total mileage. Minibuses are 15–25% cheaper than full-size coaches.

Charter bus prices depend on several factors: total trip distance, number of days, bus size/type, time of year, and special requests. Longer trips (e.g., Sacramento to San Francisco or Lake Tahoe) cost more due to mileage and driver hours. Peak demand periods like spring graduations, summer camps, and fall sports season may increase rates by 10–20%. Larger buses with premium amenities (Wi-Fi, restroom, reclining seats) are more expensive than basic models. Additional costs such as hotel rooms for drivers on overnight trips, tolls on Bay Area bridges, and parking fees at venues are not included in the base quote.

Our fleet includes buses with amenities like free Wi-Fi, USB/power outlets at every row, reclining seats with footrests, individual reading lights, overhead luggage racks, underfloor storage bays, flat-screen TV monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, PA system, and onboard restroom. Premium models feature leather upholstery, hardwood-style flooring, fold-down tray tables, cup holders, window shades, and climate control. Entertainer coaches have bunks, lounge area, kitchenette, shower, and satellite TV. Minibuses offer comfortable high-back seats and optional Wi-Fi but usually no restroom. Request specific features when booking to ensure your group gets exactly what they need.
