Rent a Charter Bus From Charter Bus Company Madera

The cost of a charter bus rental in Madera starts at $1,600–$3,500+ per day or $400–$800+ per hour depending on the size of vehicle, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. Local trips under 50 miles typically billed hourly ($250–$550/hour), while longer or multi-day trips are charged by the day or mile. Minibuses and party buses are available at lower rates for smaller groups.

Charter bus pricing is based on several factors: type/size of vehicle (minibus, full-size coach, party bus), trip duration (hours or days), total mileage, pickup location, destination(s), and time of year. Additional charges may include driver lodging (for overnight trips), tolls, parking fees, and special requests (e.g., custom wraps, premium amenities). Multi-day and long-distance trips are usually billed by the day or mile; local charters by the hour.

Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically due within a few days of signing the contract and can be paid by credit card, ACH transfer, or other approved payment methods.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least 6 to 9 months in advance to ensure availability and get the best rates—especially if your trip falls during a busy season like spring or summer. Large events such as the Madera District Fair, school graduations, and wedding season can cause buses to sell out quickly. However, we understand that plans can change and last-minute trips happen. That’s why we offer flexible options and can often accommodate bookings made closer to your travel date. The earlier you book, the better selection of vehicles and pricing you’ll have.

Parking a charter bus in Madera is straightforward thanks to the city’s accessible layout and multiple large venues with ample parking. For downtown events, shopping trips, or restaurant outings, use public lots near North E Street and West Yosemite Avenue—these lots can accommodate oversized vehicles and provide easy access to local businesses. Traveling with a sports team or attending a game? The Madera South High School stadium and Madera High School both have designated bus parking areas adjacent to their athletic facilities. Heading to the Madera District Fairgrounds? There is a dedicated bus parking zone on site, making drop-off and pick-up convenient for large groups. For longer-term or overnight parking, consider the lot at the Madera Municipal Airport, which allows oversized vehicles and is located just off Avenue 17. Always confirm parking regulations and fees in advance, as some locations may require a permit or reservation for charter buses.
