Charter Bus Prices in Ontario

Charter bus rental rates in Ontario typically run between $150 and $350 per hour, or $1,400 to $3,200 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, time of year, and length of the trip. For longer trips, some companies may charge by the mile, with rates ranging from $4.00 to $8.50 per mile. Smaller vehicles like 18-passenger or 25-passenger minibuses are less expensive, while full-size 56-passenger charter buses are at the higher end of the spectrum. Buses with luxury amenities—like onboard restrooms, leather seats, or WiFi—will also cost more than standard models.

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

• Type and Size of Bus: Larger vehicles (like a 56-passenger charter bus) cost more than smaller ones (like a 20- or 25-passenger minibus). Specialty vehicles—such as party buses or entertainer coaches—also come at a premium.
• Trip Duration and Distance: Local trips are usually billed by the hour (with a 4- or 5-hour minimum), while longer trips are charged by the day or by the mile. The farther and longer you travel, the higher the total cost.
• Time of Year: Spring and summer are peak seasons due to school trips, graduations, and weddings. Rates are higher during these months. You’ll pay less if you book during the fall or winter.
• Pickup Location: If your trip starts in a location far from the bus company’s depot, you may incur additional “deadhead” fees to cover the cost of getting the bus to and from your starting point.
• Itinerary Complexity: Multiple stops, tight schedules, or routes through congested areas (like downtown Los Angeles or LAX) can increase the price.
• Additional Expenses: Toll roads (such as the 91 Express Lanes), parking fees (at venues like Toyota Arena or Ontario International Airport), driver lodging for overnight trips, and gratuity (typically 10-20%) are usually not included in the base quote.
