Several key factors influence the final price of your charter bus rental including the number of passengers traveling, the type of bus you select, the distance and duration of your trip, the time of year you’re traveling, and how far in advance you book your reservation. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and hotel accommodations for the driver on multi-day trips may also affect the total cost.

Getting a quote from Oakley Charter Bus is fast and easy—just call our 24/7 reservations team at 925-508-5040 with details about your trip including pickup location, destination, number of passengers, and travel dates. You’ll receive an instant, personalized estimate based on your exact itinerary and vehicle preferences. You can also use our online form to request a quote, but speaking directly with an agent ensures the most accurate pricing and availability.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the bus and driver, mileage, fuel, and any applicable taxes. It does not include optional gratuity for the driver (typically 10–20%), or additional expenses like tolls, parking, and driver lodging on overnight trips. All standard amenities are included at no extra charge.

You should book your bus as soon as you know your dates—ideally 4–6 months in advance—to lock in the best availability and pricing. Buses sell out quickly during busy seasons like spring (April–June) and fall (September–November) when schools and events are in session. Last-minute bookings are possible if vehicles are available, but prices will be higher and selection limited. Once you have your schedule and headcount, call Oakley Charter Bus immediately to secure your reservation with a signed contract and deposit.
