Frequently Asked Questions

The cost to rent a shuttle bus in Buffalo typically ranges from $1,300–$4,000+ per day, $175–$400+ per hour, or $4.50–$8.50+ per mile depending on the size of the vehicle, trip length, and time of year. You’ll pay either an hourly rate (with a 5-hour minimum), a daily rate, or a per-mile rate based on your exact itinerary. Multi-day and long-distance trips are usually billed by the day. Additional expenses like driver gratuity (standard is 10–20%), tolls, parking fees, and out-of-town driver lodging are not included in the base price.

Your final price depends on several variables: the size and type of vehicle you choose, how many days or hours you need the bus, total mileage, whether your trip falls during peak season (spring/summer), and if you require any special amenities or custom branding. Multi-day and long-distance trips cost more than local single-day rentals. Additional expenses not included in the base rate may include driver gratuity (10–20% standard), tolls, parking fees, and hotel/lodging for the driver on overnight trips. You’ll get a contract with the full breakdown before you sign and pay.

Your quote covers the cost of the shuttle bus rental itself, a professional driver, fuel, and basic amenities like A/C, reclining seats, and onboard storage. It does NOT include driver gratuity (typically 10–20%), tolls, parking fees, or hotel/lodging expenses for the driver on overnight trips—those are extra and either billed separately or paid directly by you during the trip. You’ll get a full breakdown of all charges before you sign your contract.

You should book your bus rental at least 6 months in advance for trips during Buffalo’s busy spring and summer seasons (April–September), and at least 3 months in advance during the off-season (October–March) to get the best selection and rates. Major events like Bills games, college graduations, and summer festivals sell out fast, so reserve as early as possible. Last-minute bookings are possible if vehicles are still available, but you may have limited options and higher prices.

We offer 18-passenger, 20-passenger, and 25-passenger shuttle buses, as well as 56-passenger full-size charter buses—so you can easily find the right vehicle for your group size and trip type. All sizes are available with modern amenities and comfortable seating.

You can also request upgraded features like free WiFi, individual power outlets or USB ports, flat-screen TVs with DVD/Blu-ray players, auxiliary input for music, LED accent lighting, PA systems or wireless microphones, and even custom branding or wraps for corporate events—all perfect for keeping riders comfortable and connected during any Buffalo-area trip.

If your trip requires an overnight stay or extends beyond the driver’s maximum hours of service (typically 10 hours of driving or 15 hours on duty per day), you must provide hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should be a national chain or equivalent quality and must supply a private room. This ensures compliance with DOT regulations and keeps everyone safe on the road. If your trip lasts multiple days, you’ll be responsible for lodging costs for each night the bus and driver remain out of town. Local single-day trips do not require overnight accommodations for the driver.
