We also offer party buses (10 to 50 passengers), sprinter vans (10 to 15 passengers), and classic yellow school buses for budget-friendly field trips or camp transportation.

The best way to get an accurate quote is to call our team with your exact itinerary—we’ll give you an instant price tailored to your needs and budget.

Several factors influence the cost of your bus rental, including the size and type of vehicle, the distance and duration of your trip, and the dates you’re traveling. Peak season (April–June and September–November) tends to be more expensive due to high demand from school trips, weddings, and tech conferences. Additional charges may apply for tolls (like crossing the Bay Bridge or Golden Gate Bridge), parking permits (especially near Fisherman’s Wharf or Oracle Park), and extra mileage outside your original route. Amenities like onboard restrooms, TVs, or custom wraps can also affect pricing. Last-minute bookings are usually pricier than reservations made weeks or months in advance.

Our fleet includes buses with a wide range of amenities to keep your group comfortable and entertained on the road. Most of our minibuses and charter buses feature free WiFi, power outlets or USB ports at every seat, reclining seats with armrests, overhead storage racks, and climate control. Larger coaches often come with flat-screen TVs, DVD players, PA systems, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage luggage bays for storing suitcases or equipment. Party buses are equipped with wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lights, Bluetooth sound systems, hardwood floors, and coolers for drinks. Sprinter vans offer a more intimate setting with plush seats, tinted windows, and optional tables for working or socializing.

We provide transportation for every type of event and organization across the Bay Area. Corporate clients book daily commuter shuttles from Caltrain or Transbay Terminal to downtown offices, or use our buses for team-building retreats in Napa and off-site meetings in Silicon Valley. Wedding planners rely on us to move guests between ceremony and reception venues in Marin, Sonoma, or Half Moon Bay. Schools and universities charter buses for field trips to the Exploratorium, museum visits in Golden Gate Park, and campus tours at UC Berkeley or Stanford. Sports fans ride together to Giants games at Oracle Park, 49ers games in Santa Clara, or Warriors games across the Bay. We also handle private parties, wine tours, concerts, political rallies, and long-distance trips to Los Angeles or Lake Tahoe.

Parking a large bus in San Francisco requires careful planning due to narrow streets and strict regulations. Popular drop-off zones include the corner of Hyde Street & Beach Street for Fisherman’s Wharf, Geary Boulevard near Union Square hotels, and dedicated bus bays at Oracle Park and Chase Center. For long-term parking, the best options are the SFMTA’s Motor Coach Facility at 2000 Marin Street, Lot A at Oracle Park, or pre-arranged spaces at Pier 27 (when no cruise ships are docked). Buses are not allowed to idle or park in residential neighborhoods, along Market Street, or in most downtown areas without a permit. Always check with your destination in advance, as many attractions require advance reservations for bus access—especially Alcatraz Landing, the DeYoung Museum, and Golden Gate Park. If your group is staying at a hotel, ask the concierge about loading zones and whether the property has space for oversized vehicles. For events outside the city, such as weddings in Marin or corporate retreats in Silicon Valley, parking is generally easier but should still be coordinated with the venue.

Your quote covers the base rental fee for the bus and all standard amenities onboard. Tolls (such as the Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, or Richmond–San Rafael Bridge) and parking fees are NOT included and must be paid separately by the client. This also applies to any entrance fees for restricted roads (like Treasure Island) or special permits required by your destination. If your itinerary requires the bus to wait for several hours or stay overnight, additional charges may apply for layover time or accommodations. Gratuity is optional and not included in the quote, but always appreciated for exceptional service. Please review your contract carefully and ask us if you have any questions about what’s covered.
