How Much Does a Charter Bus Rental Cost?
Our charter bus rentals usually start at around $1,900 per day but may vary depending on where you’re traveling, how many days you plan to be on the road, and more. A charter bus is best for long-distance trips from Green Bay to cities like Madison, Milwaukee or Chicago, as well as major events like conventions, sports tournaments, and school field trips. They accommodate up to 56 passengers with amenities like restrooms, TVs, WiFi, reclining seats, and overhead storage. Smaller models are available for groups of 35-40 passengers at a lower rate. Since each charter bus rental is unique, it’s best to request a personalized quote to get accurate pricing.
How Much Does a Party Bus Rental Cost?
Party bus pricing typically falls between $150-$400 per hour, with most groups booking for at least 5 hours. These buses are popular for weddings, proms, bachelor/ette parties, concerts, and nights out in Green Bay. Our party buses can transport anywhere from 10 to 40 people depending on the model. They feature wraparound seating, hardwood floors, LED lighting, sound systems, coolers, and sometimes even dance poles or bars. The cost depends on the size of the bus, duration of service, number of stops, and whether you’re traveling locally or heading to another city.

Every charter bus rental quote is customized based on your specific itinerary and needs. The main factors that affect the total cost include:
- Distance traveled
- Trip duration (hours or days)
- Pickup and drop-off locations
- Type and size of bus
- Time of year and day of week
- Advance booking notice
- Tolls, parking fees, permits (not included in quote)
- Special requests or onboard amenities
The fastest way to get an accurate price is to have your trip details ready when you contact us. We’ll need your passenger count, pickup/drop-off addresses, travel dates/times, and any must-have features like ADA accessibility, power outlets, or extra luggage space.
How Distance and Duration of Your Trip Influence Bus Rental Pricing
The two biggest factors in determining your bus rental price are how far you’re going and how long you need the vehicle. Local trips within Green Bay (such as shuttles to Lambeau Field or downtown) are often charged by the hour with a minimum of 5 hours. Longer journeys across the state or multi-day itineraries (like transporting a sports team from Green Bay to Minneapolis for a weekend tournament) are priced by the day or mile. In general, the farther and longer you travel, the higher the quote due to increased fuel and operating costs.
The Time of Year Influences Bus Rental Pricing
Wisconsin has peak and off-peak seasons that impact charter bus availability and rates. Spring and summer (April-August) are high-demand months due to graduations, weddings, festivals, and tourism—expect prices to be slightly higher during this period. Fall weekends also see increased demand thanks to Packers home games and college football. Winter months (November-March) tend to be less busy except around holidays, which can be a good time to find deals if you’re flexible on travel dates.
The Day of the Week Influences Bus Rental Pricing
Weekend rentals (Friday-Sunday) usually cost more than weekday bookings because of greater demand for social events, weddings, and leisure trips. If your schedule allows, consider planning your group transportation Monday-Thursday to get lower rates. For example, corporate shuttles or educational field trips scheduled midweek may be more budget-friendly than those on Saturdays or Sundays.
Your Starting and Ending Locations Influence Bus Rental Pricing
Where your trip begins and ends affects the overall cost, especially if the bus has to return empty after dropping off passengers (“deadhead” mileage). Pickups and drop-offs within Brown County or nearby cities like Appleton, Oshkosh, or Sheboygan will be cheaper than routes requiring long-distance deadhead back to Green Bay. Providing exact addresses helps us calculate the shortest, most efficient route to save you money.
Your Bus Type and Size Influence Bus Rental Pricing
We offer a variety of bus types to suit different group sizes and budgets. Full-size charter buses (up to 56 passengers) are more expensive than smaller minibuses (18- 35 passengers), but splitting the cost among a large group can make them affordable per person. Premium features like onboard restrooms, leather seats, PA systems, or custom branding may increase the rate. Minibuses and sprinter vans are ideal for short trips, airport transfers, or shuttling small teams. Party buses come with luxury amenities but tend to cost more per hour due to their specialty use.
Tolls and Parking Fees Are Not Included in Quotes
Your quote covers only the base rental and does not include external expenses such as highway tolls, bridge crossings, ferry tickets, or overnight parking. These fees are the responsibility of the customer and should be factored into your budget. For instance, parking a charter bus near Lambeau Field on game day requires purchasing a bus parking pass (typically $100-$200), while daily parking at Austin Straubel International Airport may cost $15-$30. If your itinerary includes toll roads, please inform us so we can estimate additional charges accordingly.
How Your Booking Timing Influences Bus Rental Pricing
Booking early gives you access to the widest selection of vehicles and the best prices. We recommend reserving your charter bus at least 3-6 months in advance for major events or peak season travel. Last-minute bookings (less than 30 days out) may incur higher rates due to limited availability. However, if you have a flexible date and are traveling during the off-season, we might be able to find you discounted options even on short notice.
Cost-Saving Tips to Consider
- Choose the right size bus: Don’t overpay for unused seats. Match the vehicle to your headcount.
- Travel off-peak: Schedule trips during slower months or weekdays for lower rates.
- Share costs: Split the total among all passengers to reduce individual expenses.
- Simplify your itinerary: Fewer stops and shorter distances result in a cheaper quote.
- Book early: Secure your preferred bus and lock in current pricing before demand spikes.
- Skip unnecessary extras: Only request premium amenities if they’re essential to your group’s comfort or productivity.
