Corpus Christi Charter Bus Pricing
The hourly or daily cost of your rental, fuel costs, full-coverage insurance, and a professional charter bus driver are all included in your total costs. Your Corpus Christi charter bus quote is also determined by the following:
- Seasonality: A bus service booked during the busy summer months or around the holidays will cost more than a bus booked during a slow season, like in January or February.
- Destinations: An itinerary with more local destinations in Corpus Christi and Nueces County will be priced more affordably than a trip that includes a long-distance destination.
- Trip Duration: The length of your trip, whether it’s a one-day adventure or a multi-day shuttle service, will be priced differently, and a longer trip will cost more.
- Group Size: Your headcount—whether its six passengers or sixty—will determine the type of bus you need to rent. Full-size charter buses cost more to operate than a minibus, like the 18-passenger minibus.
- When You Book: The sooner you book, the more likely you’ll get a good price on your rental. If you want to book a bus during a busy season, we recommend booking at least six months in advance for the best price and availability.
Keep in mind, parking fees and road tolls, lodging for your driver during overnight trips, and a tip for your driver need to be budgeted for separately.
Bus Service Costs in Corpus Christi
Every charter bus service we offer in Corpus Christi is priced differently. Here are some examples of how we price our services:
A Youth Faith Conference at the Church Unlimited Campus
A local church wants to provide a shuttle for a church youth group attending the three-day U26 Youth Conference at the Church Unlimited campus this summer. They will be transporting 100 students and want two 56-passenger charter buses with air-conditioning, and their itinerary involves picking up the students at the church at 6:00 pm, dropping them off at Church Unlimited at 6:30 pm when the doors open, picking them up at 10:30 pm and dropping them back off at the church by 11:00 pm. They book two buses for five hours of service across three days, and are quoted $6,500—which is several hundred dollars more than what is typical because they booked in January, long before the summer month price hike.
A Field Trip to the Texas State Aquarium
A teacher wants student transportation in Corpus Christi to take their fifth grade science classes to the Texas State Aquarium at the end of the school year. They are transporting 50 students, so one full-size charter bus will be enough for the entire class plus chaperones. They also want to request a bus rental that has TV screens with a DVD player so that they can entertain students while on the road. The trip is at the end of Spring, which is during the busy season, but they called to book in March, which is early enough to secure the type of bus they want at a reasonable rate. To rent two field trip charter buses for one day, they are quoted $2,950.
A Wedding at The Courtyard at Gaslight Square
A bride is planning her dream wedding in Corpus Christi at The Courtyard at Gaslight Square and wants to rent wedding guest shuttles to ensure the entire day goes smoothly. She is expecting about 100 guests, most of whom will be staying at the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel. She wants to rent four 25-passenger minibuses that do a loop between the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel and The Courtyard at Gaslight Square on her wedding day for a duration of six hours. She is quoted $4,800.
A Business Trip to a Convention at the Hilliard Center
A team manager needs to organize private corporation transportation for his team who is attending a convention at the Hilliard Center. His team consists of 10 professionals, and they will all be traveling together by plane to Corpus Christi International Airport and staying at the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel. He wants to rent an 18-passenger minibus that will pick his team up from the airport upon arrival, bring them to and from the hotel and The Hilliard Center each day, then drop them off at the airport for their departure. For three days of services—plus a minimum of five hours on the pickup and drop-off day—they are quoted $5,950 for a completely private and customizable group transportation service.
