The most important factors that impact the cost of your charter bus rental include your travel dates, trip duration, total mileage, starting and ending locations, and the type and size of vehicle you choose. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and overnight accommodations may also apply depending on your itinerary.
Distance and Duration of Your Trip
One of the biggest factors affecting your quote is how far and how long you plan to travel. Local trips within Greeley or Weld County are usually billed by the hour, while longer journeys across Colorado (such as to Denver, Fort Collins, or Colorado Springs) may be priced by the day or by total miles. The farther your destination and the more hours you need the bus, the higher your rental cost will be. If you’re unsure which pricing structure applies to your trip, just ask our reservation team when you call!
The Time of Year
Like most travel services, charter bus prices are higher during peak season when demand is greatest. In Colorado, the busiest months for bus rentals are April through June (spring field trips and graduations), September through November (fall weddings and football games), and December (holiday parties and ski trips). If you can schedule your trip during the off-season (January-March or July-August), you may be able to book at lower rates and more availability. Last-minute bookings during peak times will almost always cost more than reservations made well in advance.
The Day of the Week
Another factor that can influence your price is the day of the week you travel. Weekend rentals (especially Fridays and Saturdays) tend to be more expensive due to higher demand from weddings, concerts, and nightlife events. If you have flexibility in your schedule, consider booking your charter bus on a weekday when rates are typically lower. This is especially helpful for school field trips, corporate outings, or any event where you can avoid the weekend rush.
Your Starting and Ending Locations
Where your trip starts and ends will also affect your quote. If your group is being picked up and dropped off within Greeley city limits, you’ll likely pay less than if your journey begins or ends in a different city. Keep in mind that our team must calculate the total mileage and hours required to get to your pickup location, complete your itinerary, and return the bus to its home base. The closer your starting point is to our available fleet, the lower your overall cost will be.
Your Bus Type and Size
We offer a wide range of vehicles to accommodate groups of all sizes and budgets. Full-size charter buses are the largest and most expensive option, but they offer the most seating and amenities. Minibuses are smaller and more affordable, ideal for shuttling 15- 35 passengers around town. Sprinter vans and party buses fall somewhere in between, providing a fun and stylish ride for mid-sized groups. When selecting your bus, make sure to choose one that has enough seats for everyone and only the amenities you actually need. Upgrading to a larger or more luxurious model will increase your rental price.
Tolls and Parking Not Included in Our Quotes
While our quotes cover most of the major expenses associated with your rental, there are a few additional costs you’ll need to budget for separately. These include tolls on highways or bridges, parking fees at venues or attractions, and entrance passes to certain parks or facilities. For example, if you’re visiting Rocky Mountain National Park with your tour group, you’ll need to purchase a commercial vehicle pass ($15 per bus) upon entry. Similarly, parking at popular event venues like the Island Grove Regional Park or UCCC may require a daily permit ($10-$25 per bus). Be sure to research these charges ahead of time so there are no shock on the day of your trip.
Booking Timing Matters
When you book your charter bus can also make a difference in how much you pay. In general, the earlier you reserve, the better deal you’ll get. We recommend booking at least 3-6 months in advance for peak season events and 1-2 months ahead for off-season trips. Last-minute reservations (less than two weeks’ notice) may incur rush fees or limited vehicle choices, especially during busy times of year. To lock in the lowest rates and have the bus you want, try to finalize your travel plans as early as possible.
Cost Saving Tips to Consider
If you’re working with a tight budget, there are several ways you can reduce the cost of your charter bus rental. First, try to fill every seat on the bus so you can split the total price among more passengers. Second, stick to a simple itinerary with minimal stops and backtracking to keep your mileage and hours low. Third, opt for a standard vehicle without luxury upgrades like leather seats or onboard restrooms unless absolutely necessary. Finally, travel during the off-season or on weekdays whenever possible to take advantage of lower demand and discounted rates.

Sample Trip Pricing Examples
Below are a few sample pricing examples for common trips in Greeley, CO and around Colorado. Please note that these are estimates and your actual price may vary based on your specific needs and travel dates.
Exploring the Rockies
Mrs. Johnson is planning a field trip for her 4th grade class of 22 students. She intends to depart from Greeley at 9:00 AM, and return to Madison Elementary School by 3:30 PM the same day. Upon arrival, they intend to visit the Rocky Mountain National Park Visitor Center, enjoy lunch near Estes Park, and hike at Bear Lake Trailhead. Due to the specifics of her itinerary, Mrs. Johnson was quoted at $1,950.00. Because her group included 22 students, herself, and 3 chaperones, she booked a 25-passenger minibus that made costs average out to about $81 per person.
Wedding Shuttle to Denver
Sarah decided she wants to have her wedding ceremony at a rooftop venue in downtown Denver. She’s invited 18 of her closest friends and family, and they’re heading from a hotel in Greeley to the venue for a full-day celebration. Because the ceremony starts at 11:00 AM, the group has decided to drive to Denver the night before and head to the venue the next morning from their hotel. Sarah’s reservation specialist booked her a 20-passenger minibus for the departure and return. After factoring the costs of getting to Denver from Greeley, staying the night, departing early the next morning to the venue, waiting for the passengers to return, and then driving the group back home, the cost of the rental is about $5,900. Add in one night of hotel rentals (for the driver) at about $100 per night, and the trip totals $6,000, or about $333 per person.
Charter to the State Championship
Headed to the state championship game, The Greeley West High School football team is looking to put the finishing touches on an undefeated season. The coaching staff plans on leaving Greeley at 1:00 PM and arriving in Colorado Springs at 5:00 PM before a 7:00 PM kickoff. Head Coach Mike Brown has worked long and hard to get his team to this point, and it’s pertinent that they show up on time and ready to play. Coach Brown has a roster of around 55 players, so his reservation specialist recommended he book two 56-passenger charter buses to accommodate the team, coaches, and learning staff. The game will conclude no later than 10:00 PM, so the team will likely be back in Greeley no later than 2:00 AM. Because this is a full-day trip with two buses, estimated costs totaled around $7,400.
Senior Citizen Trip to Loveland
An assisted living community administrator contacts us to arrange a minibus rental for their next social outing. Members of the community will travel to see the Benson Sculpture Garden in Loveland for an afternoon stroll. Since several of the residents use wheelchairs, the minibus needs to be ADA-accessible, which won’t cost any extra (but they will need to give at least two weeks’ notice). With 2 staff members and 13 residents in attendance, our reservation agents paired the group with a compact minibus. The total outing will take about 4 hours, at a rate of $175 per hour, bringing the rental cost to $700. They will also need to pay $5 for parking, bringing the total trip cost to $705.
Field Trip in Downtown Greeley
An administrator from a local middle school would like to rent full-size charter buses for a field trip in Downtown Greeley. The seventh-grade students will go to the Greeley History Museum for an educational tour and finish the day with recreational time at Lincoln Park. They plan to leave the school by 8 a.m. and return by 3:30 p.m., so they will be charged an hourly rate of $185. Since there are 95 students in the seventh grade and they are accompanied by 8 teachers, they will need two 56-person charter buses. The Greeley History Museum does not charge buses for parking, but they will still need to tip their driver.
The Greeley Conference
A technology company is hosting a conference at a hotel and event center in Greeley, CO. To ensure all attendees arrive on time to each workshop, the event coordinator has arranged for a minibus shuttle service to transport guests between the venue and several partner hotels throughout the city. One of the hotels offers free bus parking, which helps reduce overall costs, but the coordinator will still need to provide room and board for the driver. The conference will span two days, and with an average minibus rental rate of $1,100 per day in Greeley, the base rental cost totals $2,200. The coordinator has also budgeted $200 for one night of accommodations for the driver. After the event, the coordinator plans to tip the driver 15% for a job well done, which comes out to $330. Altogether, the total cost of the minibus rental, accommodations, and tip will be $2,730.
Bachelorette Party in Fort Collins
This March, Emily is planning a bachelorette party for her best friend, Megan. She’s inviting 14 of Megan’s closest girlfriends to ride to a painting class at Pinot’s Palette at 3 p.m., dinner at The Melting Pot around 6 p.m., and then to a private karaoke room at The Singing Room at 8 p.m. The ladies will be traveling locally and will need room to store their party supplies and gifts. Their reservation specialist recommends a 16-passenger minibus that has overhead compartments to store their personal belongings. The driver will pick them up at Emily’s house around 2:30 p.m. and bring them to each destination on their itinerary. The women will head back to Emily’s house at 10:00 p.m. for late-night snacks and drinks. For a seven-hour minibus rental with 15 passengers, Emily receives a quote for $1,400.
