What Factors Influence Charter Bus Prices in Orlando?
Several key factors influence the total cost of your charter bus rental in Orlando:
- Number of Passengers: Larger buses cost more but may be cheaper per seat.
- Type of Bus: Full-size charter buses are more expensive than minibuses.
- Trip Duration: Longer trips increase the price; multi-day trips add up quickly.
- Distance Traveled: Trips outside the Orlando metro area (e.g., to Tampa, Miami, or Jacksonville) will cost more.
- Time of Year: Peak season (spring break, summer) can raise prices due to high demand.
- Availability: Limited supply during major events (e.g., conventions, theme park events) can increase rates.
- Additional Fees: Tolls, parking, and hotel/lodging for driver on overnight trips are extra.
To get an accurate price, have your trip details ready: pickup/drop-off locations, dates/times, number of passengers, and any special requests.

Prices vary based on exact mileage, duration, and availability. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to use our online quote tool or call our reservations team with your trip details.
Example #1
For this example, we’ll price a common school field trip from downtown Orlando to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Titusville, FL. This is about a 50-mile trip each way, so 100 miles round-trip. Most schools will fill a full-size 56-passenger charter bus, and this will be a single-day trip.
Let’s say the charter bus company charges $1,800 per day for a 56-passenger bus. With 56 students and chaperones onboard, that comes out to about $32 per person for comfortable, private transportation to one of Florida’s top educational attractions.
If your school is located farther from the Space Center, or if you need multiple buses, your rental cost may be higher. Always call Coach Bus Orlando at 689-337-2250 to get an accurate, personalized quote for your exact itinerary.
Example #2
Many corporate groups fly into Orlando International Airport (MCO) and need ground transportation to a Disney resort hotel for a conference or retreat. For this example, we’ll price a shuttle from MCO to Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, a popular convention hotel. The distance is about 22 miles one way, or 44 miles round-trip.
A 25-passenger minibus is ideal for airport transfers with luggage. If the charter bus company charges $1,300 per day, that’s just $52 per seat—a bargain compared to booking multiple taxis or rideshares. Larger groups can upgrade to a 56-passenger bus for $1,800 per day.
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort hosts many corporate events.
Example #3
Couples hosting a downtown Orlando wedding often provide guest shuttles to venues in nearby Winter Park. For this example, we’ll price a loop shuttle between downtown hotels and the Alfond Inn in Winter Park, about 6 miles each way. With multiple trips throughout the evening, the total mileage adds up to 36 miles.
A 20-passenger minibus is perfect for circulating guests between the hotel block and reception venue. At $1,200 per day, the cost is just $60 per seat. Split between the newlyweds’ families, a wedding shuttle is an affordable way to keep guests safe and punctual.
The Alfond Inn is a popular Winter Park wedding venue.
Example #4
High school bands and choirs frequently travel from Orlando to Miami for competitions and performances. This 3-day trip covers about 480 miles round-trip, plus local mileage in Miami. Students will need a full-size 56-passenger charter bus with room for instruments.
At $2,000 per day, a 3-day rental costs $6,000. Divide that by 56 passengers, and each student pays $107 for round-trip transportation. Compared to flying or renting vans, a charter bus is the most economical and convenient option for large groups with equipment.
Example #5
College and club sports teams often need charter buses for away games. For this example, we’ll price a trip from Orlando to the University of Florida in Gainesville, about 115 miles each way. With local travel to hotels and restaurants, the total round-trip distance is 250 miles.
Teams typically fill a 25-passenger minibus with players and coaches. At $1,500 per day, the per-seat cost is $60. Larger rosters can upgrade to a 56-passenger bus for $1,800 per day. Buses have room underneath for gear bags and coolers.
The University of Florida hosts many visiting teams.
Example #6
Faith groups frequently book charter buses for weekend retreats outside the city. For this example, we’ll price a trip from Orlando to a camp in Lake Wales, about 70 miles each way. With local shuttles to off-site activities, the total mileage is 160 miles.
A 25-passenger minibus works well for a small congregation. At $1,300 per day, the cost is $52 per seat. Buses are available with reclining seats, WiFi, and video monitors for group devotions and entertainment.
Lake Wales has several retreat centers for faith groups.
