Coach Bus Prices: How Much Does a Mission Viejo Coach Bus Rental Cost?

In general, you can expect to pay between $170 and $500 per hour for a coach bus rental in Mission Viejo. Daily rates usually range from $1,800 to $3,800 or more, depending on the size of the bus and the details of your trip. For example, a 56-passenger charter bus will cost more than a 25-passenger minibus, and an overnight trip to Las Vegas will be more expensive than a local shuttle between Irvine Spectrum Center and John Wayne Airport. If you need a bus for multiple days, we can offer discounted package rates. Just let us know your itinerary, and we’ll build a custom quote that fits your schedule and your budget.

Remember, these are just estimates. The actual price of your bus rental will depend on several factors, including the dates of your trip, the distance you’re traveling, and the type of bus you choose. To get an exact quote, call our team at 949-389-2250 or fill out our online form today!

There are several key factors that will determine the final price of your Mission Viejo bus rental:

• Time of Year: Bus rental prices are higher during peak season, which in Southern California usually runs from April through June (graduations, proms, and wedding season) and September through December (holiday parties and corporate events). If you’re traveling during these months, especially around major holidays like Memorial Day, Fourth of July, or Christmas, expect to pay more. Off-peak months like January, February, and August tend to be less expensive.
• Trip Duration and Distance: The longer your trip, the more it will cost. Local trips within Orange County (Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Irvine, Santa Ana, Anaheim) are usually billed by the hour with a 4- or 5-hour minimum. For example, a 5-hour rental from Mission Viejo to Disneyland and back might cost $1,250-$1,750 total. Long-distance trips (over 150 miles one way) are billed by the day or by the mile. An overnight trip to Las Vegas or San Diego will be priced higher to account for extra mileage, driver accommodations, and per diem expenses.
• Type and Size of Bus: Larger buses cost more than smaller ones. A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach is the most expensive option, but it also comes with the most amenities: onboard restroom, reclining seats, luggage bays, WiFi, power outlets, and TVs with DVD players. Mid-size minibuses (20-35 seats) are more affordable and perfect for shuttling small groups between hotels and event venues. Sprinter vans and party buses are also available at different price points depending on features and capacity.
• Day of the Week: Weekend rentals (Friday-Sunday) are in higher demand and therefore more expensive than weekday rentals (Monday-Thursday). If you have flexibility in your schedule, booking your bus on a Tuesday or Wednesday can save you money.
• Special Requests: If you require premium amenities like leather seats, hardwood floors, PA system, or ADA-accessible lifts, please let us know in advance so we can match you with the right vehicle. These features may increase the cost slightly but will make your ride more comfortable and convenient.

Additional Costs to Consider

• Driver Gratuity: While not required, it’s customary to tip your driver 10-20% of the total rental cost for a job well done. You can add this to your invoice or pay the driver directly at the end of the trip.
• Tolls and Parking Fees: Any tolls (e.g., 73 Toll Road, 241 Toll Road) or parking charges (Disneyland, Angel Stadium, Honda Center) incurred during your trip are the responsibility of the renter. We recommend budgeting $20-$50 extra for these incidental expenses.
• Driver Lodging: For multi-day trips that require overnight stays outside of Orange County, you will need to provide a hotel room for your driver. Most hotels offer discounted rates for bus drivers, and the room does not need to be fancy—just clean, safe, and private.
