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

In general, you can expect to pay around $170 to $250 per hour for a minibus (18-35 passengers), $200 to $350 per hour for a standard charter bus (40-56 passengers), and $250 to $500 per hour for a party bus (20-40 passengers) or a luxury sprinter van (10-15 passengers). Daily rates typically range from $1,800 to $3,800, depending on the size and type of vehicle. For example, a 25-passenger minibus might cost $1,800 per day, while a 56-passenger motorcoach could cost $3,500 per day. If you’re planning a multi-day trip, you’ll usually get a better rate by booking the bus for several days in a row.

There are several factors that can influence the cost of your bus rental in Sandy, including:

• Type and Size of Vehicle: Larger vehicles like 56-passenger motorcoaches are more expensive than smaller minibuses or sprinter vans. Party buses and luxury coaches with premium amenities (leather seats, hardwood floors, sound systems, etc.) also command higher rates.
• Duration of Rental: Most companies charge by the hour, with a minimum of 4-6 hours per booking. Daily and weekly rates are available for longer trips. The more hours or days you need the bus, the higher the total cost.
• Distance and Mileage: Local trips within Salt Lake County (Sandy, Draper, Midvale, Cottonwood Heights) are usually billed by the hour, while out-of-town trips to places like Provo, Ogden, Park City, or even Las Vegas are priced based on total mileage and drive time. Expect to pay more for long-distance travel.
• Time of Year: Bus rental demand peaks during certain seasons, such as spring (school field trips, proms), summer (weddings, family reunions), and fall (sports games, corporate retreats). Prices are generally higher during these busy months. Winter rates may be lower, except during the holidays.
• Day of the Week: Weekend rentals (Friday-Sunday) are more expensive than weekday rentals due to higher demand for events and nightlife transportation.
• Pickup Location: If your trip starts or ends outside the main service area (e.g., Tooele, Heber City, Spanish Fork), you may be charged extra for “deadhead” mileage to reposition the bus.
• Amenities and Customization: Buses with premium features like WiFi, power outlets, TV monitors, reclining seats, restrooms, or custom branding/wraps will cost more than basic models.
• Driver Expenses: For multi-day trips, you’re responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver (minimum 3-star), as well as meals and incidentals. This is standard industry practice.
• Tolls, Parking, and Permits: Any tolls (e.g., I-15 Express Lanes), parking fees (Vivint Arena, Rice-Eccles Stadium, Gallivan Center), or special permits required for your itinerary are billed to the customer at cost.
• Gratuity: While not mandatory, it’s customary to tip your driver 10-20% of the total rental price for excellent service. Tips can be paid in cash or added to the final invoice.
