Frequently Asked Questions About Charter Bus Rentals in Woodland
FAQS
The cost of a charter bus rental in Woodland typically ranges from $197–$519 per hour or $1,600–$3,800 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, and time of year. You’ll pay either an hourly rate, a daily rate, or a per-mile rate, plus additional fees like tolls, parking, and driver accommodations for multi-day trips. Smaller minibuses (18–25 passengers) are less expensive than full-size 56-passenger coaches, but exact pricing depends on your itinerary and availability.
Several key factors affect the price of your charter bus rental: travel dates (peak season vs. off-season), trip duration and distance, number of buses required, pickup location relative to operator base, and type of vehicle selected. Multi-day trips with hotel stays for drivers, special event demand (e.g., shuttles to Sacramento Kings games at Golden 1 Center or UC Davis Aggie Pack events), and last-minute bookings can increase costs. The type of bus you choose—whether it’s a 56-passenger motorcoach, a 25-passenger minibus, or something smaller—also impacts the final rate.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the bus and driver, plus any standard amenities like reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and onboard restrooms (for full-size coaches). Additional expenses such as tolls on I-5 or the Yolo Causeway, parking fees at venues like the Sacramento Convention Center or UC Davis Health Pavilion, and hotel rooms for the driver on overnight trips are not included and will be billed separately. Gratuity for the driver is optional but recommended (standard is 10%–20%).
It’s best to book your charter bus at least four to six months before your trip, especially if you’re traveling during peak times like spring break, summer wedding season, or major events like the Yolo County Fair or Capay Valley Almond Festival. Buses are rented on a first-come, first-served basis, and availability can become limited as your departure date approaches. Last-minute bookings may be subject to higher rates and limited vehicle selection.
