How We Calculate Your Charter Bus Rental Quote
Charter bus rental costs are rarely a flat fee because no two trips are identical. When you contact Charter Bus Rental Company Kissimmee, we calculate your quote based on how your group utilizes the vehicle. Our pricing models fall into two main categories: hourly rates and daily/mileage rates.
Hourly Rates: For local trips that take place within Kissimmee and the immediate Orlando area—such as a wedding shuttle between a hotel on U.S. 192 and a venue like The Manor at 12 Oaks—we charge by the hour. Most rentals require a minimum booking time (often 5 hours) to ensure the trip is cost-effective for the dispatching of a driver and a commercial vehicle.
Daily or Mileage Rates: If you are planning a long-distance trip—perhaps heading from Kissimmee to Miami for a cruise transfer or taking a sports team to a tournament in Jacksonville—pricing is usually calculated by the day or by the mile. In these scenarios, you pay a flat rate for the use of the bus for the entire day, provided you stay within a specific mileage limit. This is often the most economical choice for multi-day events.
Key Factors That Influence Bus Rental Prices in Kissimmee
While duration and distance are the baseline for your quote, several local variables in the Central Florida market can cause the price to fluctuate. Understanding these can help you secure the best deal.
- Seasonality: Kissimmee is a major tourist hub. Demand spikes significantly during school holidays (Spring Break, Christmas, Summer) and when major conventions come to the Orange County Convention Center. Traveling during these peak times often results in higher rates due to limited vehicle availability. Conversely, booking during the "shoulder season" (early fall or late January) can yield lower prices.
- Group Size and Bus Type: The size of your bus directly correlates to the price. A 56-passenger full-size charter bus will cost more than a 20-passenger minibus or a sprinter van. However, when you break down the cost per person, the larger bus is often more economical for big groups.
- booking Lead Time: The earlier you book, the better. We recommend reserving your bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. Last-minute bookings, especially in a busy market like Kissimmee, limit your options and can drive up the price.
Estimated Costs by Vehicle Type
To help you budget, here are some estimated price ranges for charter bus rentals in the Kissimmee area. Please note that these are averages and vary based on the factors listed above. For a precise figure, you must call 407-891-0011.
Minibus Rentals (18–35 Passengers)
Minibuses are perfect for smaller groups, corporate shuttles, or wedding parties. They are easier to maneuver through the traffic on International Drive or Osceola Parkway.
- Average Hourly Rate: $145 – $175 per hour (usually with a 5-hour minimum).
- Average Daily Rate: $1,300 – $1,800 per day.
These buses typically feature A/C (essential in Florida!), cushioned seating, and overhead storage, making them ideal for short-distance travel.
Full-Size Charter Buses (56 Passengers)
For large groups, school field trips, or long-distance travel, the full-size motorcoach is the standard. These buses come equipped with undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, and often feature WiFi and power outlets.
- Average Hourly Rate: $170 – $215 per hour (usually with a 5-hour minimum).
- Average Daily Rate: $1,700 – $2,300 per day.
While the upfront cost is higher, splitting this cost among 50+ passengers often makes it cheaper than rideshare apps or renting multiple cars.

Money-Saving Tips for Your Bus Rental
Working with a budget? Here are a few ways to keep your charter bus rental costs down:
- Book Early: Prices rise as availability shrinks. Locking in your reservation 6 months ahead secures the best rate.
- Finalize Your Itinerary: Unexpected detours or extending your rental time on the day of the event can lead to overtime charges. Having a precise schedule helps us give you an accurate quote.
- Right-Size Your Vehicle: Don’t pay for empty seats. If you have 20 people, don’t book a 56-passenger coach unless you really need the extra luggage space. A minibus is a more cost-effective option.
- Avoid Peak Dates: If your schedule is flexible, avoid major holidays or peak Spring Break weeks. Weekday rentals are also often slightly cheaper than weekend rentals.

We generally ask that you avoid glass containers and messy foods (like dairy-based products) to keep the bus clean for everyone.
