Frequently Asked Questions About Charter Bus Rentals in Murray

The cost to rent a charter bus in Murray typically ranges from $197–$519 per hour or $1,600 – $3,800 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, length of trip, and exact itinerary. You’ll pay closer to the low end for short local trips in smaller vehicles and the high end for full-size coaches, multi-day packages, or peak-season bookings around big events like the Salt Lake Marathon or ski resort shuttles. Minibuses seat 18–25 and cost less than 56-passenger full-size charter buses. Multi-day and long-distance trips are billed either hourly, daily, or per-mile depending on the contract. For the most accurate pricing, call our team with your exact itinerary and passenger count—we’ll give you an instant quote so you know exactly what it will cost before you book!

Several key factors influence the price of your charter bus rental: the number of passengers (which determines the size of bus you need), the length and duration of your trip (mileage or hours), the starting location and destination, the time of year (peak demand around holidays or major events), and any special amenities requested (like WiFi or upgraded seating). Multi-day trips will include additional fees for driver lodging. Local demand also plays a role—if you’re booking during a busy weekend with lots of weddings, ski resort transfers, or convention shuttles, rates may be higher due to limited availability.

Getting a quote is fast and easy! Just call our 24/7 reservation line at 385-542-3850 or use the online form on our website. Provide details about your trip—including pickup location, destination, date(s) of travel, number of passengers, and any desired amenities—and we’ll generate a personalized quote in minutes. Once you receive your quote, you can review the pricing, ask questions, and lock in your reservation with a signed contract and deposit.

Your quote includes the complete cost of the bus rental—including the vehicle itself, driver’s base pay, fuel, tolls, and mileage or time charges based on your itinerary. It does NOT include the driver’s gratuity (typically 10–20%, optional but customary) or lodging expenses if an overnight stay is required (you must provide a hotel room for multi-day trips). Any additional services or upgrades will be clearly itemized so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you sign.

You should book your bus as soon as you know your travel dates—ideally 4–6 months in advance for the best selection and pricing. Buses often sell out during peak times like ski season (December–March), spring break, summer wedding weekends, and large events such as the Salt Lake City Marathon or Days of ’47 Parade. Last-minute rentals are possible if vehicles are still available, but you may have fewer options and higher rates. Once you have a quote, you can reserve your bus by signing the contract and paying the required deposit; the balance is due before departure.

We offer several types of buses to fit any group size: 18-passenger minibuses, 20-passenger minibuses, 25-passenger minibuses, and 56-passenger full-size charter buses. All vehicles come with forward-facing seats and climate control; larger models add luggage storage and optional restroom facilities.

Standard amenities include cushioned seats, air conditioning, overhead storage, and a sound system. Larger buses (40–56 seats) add underfloor luggage bays and an onboard restroom.

If your trip requires an overnight stay, you must provide a private hotel room for the driver at your expense.
