Coach Bus Prices: How Much Does a Mesa Coach Bus Rental Cost?

Mesa Coach Bus Service has one of the largest fleets in Arizona, so we can offer you great prices on any type of bus—including minibuses, sprinter vans, party buses, and full-size charter buses. In general, you can expect to pay around $170–$250 per hour for a minibus (18–35 passengers), $250–$500+ per hour for a full-size charter bus (40–56 passengers), and $200–$400 per hour for a party bus (15–40 passengers). Daily rates are usually $1,800–$3,800+ depending on the size of the bus and how many hours you need it. For example, a 25-passenger minibus rental from Mesa to Tempe for a 6-hour event might cost $1,350–$1,600 total, while a 56-passenger charter bus for a full day of sightseeing in Phoenix could be $2,400–$3,000.

If you’re planning a multi-day trip—like taking a youth sports team from Mesa to a tournament in Flagstaff or Las Vegas—your quote will be based on the number of days, total mileage, and whether you need the bus to stay with your group the entire time. We also offer long-term and recurring shuttle services for businesses, schools, and government agencies at discounted weekly or monthly rates. No matter what kind of trip you’re planning, Mesa Coach Bus Service will help you find the best bus at the best price.

There are several factors that go into determining the price of your bus rental in Mesa. The biggest ones are the size of the bus, the length of your trip, and the time of year you’re traveling. Larger buses like 56-passenger coaches cost more than smaller minibuses or sprinter vans, but they also have more amenities and storage space. If you’re only going a short distance—like shuttling wedding guests between a hotel in Downtown Mesa and a venue in Dobson Ranch—you might be able to book a bus for just a few hours. But if you need transportation for an all-day event or an overnight trip, you’ll pay a higher rate.

Seasonality also affects pricing. Spring is one of the busiest times for charter bus rentals in Arizona because of school field trips, graduations, proms, and spring training baseball games. If you’re traveling in March or April, especially during Cactus League season, expect to pay higher rates and book your bus at least 2–3 months in advance. Summer is generally slower, so you might find better deals on buses—but keep in mind that Arizona heat can put extra strain on vehicles, so it’s important to choose a company with comfortable equipment.

Other factors that can impact your quote include tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations for overnight trips. While there aren’t many toll roads in the Phoenix metro area, you may encounter parking charges at places like State Farm Stadium, Desert Diamond Arena, or downtown Phoenix event venues. For multi-day trips that require the bus to stay overnight outside of Mesa, you’ll need to provide a hotel room for the driver. This is standard practice in the industry and ensures that your driver is well-rested and ready to complete the trip. Hotel rooms should be single occupancy, non-smoking, and preferably at the same property as your group. If your itinerary includes long stretches of driving—such as taking I-17 north to Flagstaff or US-60 east to Globe—you may also need to budget for additional drivers to comply with federal hours-of-service regulations.

Finally, the type of amenities you request can affect the price. All of our buses come with basic features like reclining seats, climate control, and overhead storage, but if you want extras like Wi-Fi, power outlets, DVD players, or restrooms, be sure to mention that when you request a quote. We can also provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts at no additional charge, but please give us advance notice so we can accommodate your needs.
