Frequently Asked Questions About Charter Bus Rentals in Montgomery

FAQS

The cost of renting a charter bus in Montgomery typically ranges from $197–$519 per hour or $1,600–$3,800 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. Minibuses (18-, 20-, and 25-passenger models) generally fall at the lower end of the price spectrum, while full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches are priced at the higher end. To get an exact price for your trip, call our team anytime at 334-931-0990.

Several key factors influence the final price of your charter bus rental: the number of passengers (which determines the size of the bus), the length and duration of your trip (mileage and number of days), the time of year (peak vs. off-peak seasons), and the specific pickup and drop-off locations. Additional considerations include the type of vehicle selected (standard vs. upgraded models), any special amenities requested (such as Wi-Fi, power outlets, or restrooms), and whether your itinerary requires overnight stays or extended layovers. All of these elements are factored into your custom quote to ensure transparent and accurate pricing.

Getting a quote is easy—just call our 24/7 reservation team at 334-931-0990 with your trip details, including pickup location, destination, headcount, and travel dates.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the bus and driver, mileage, tolls, and any applicable taxes or fees. It does not include the driver's gratuity (typically 10–20%), or hotel/lodging if required for multi-day trips. Additional charges may apply for extra amenities or special requests. We’ll break down all costs upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you book.

You should book your bus as soon as you know your travel dates—ideally at least four to six weeks in advance—to ensure availability and lock in the best rates.
