The cost of renting a charter bus in Sacramento depends on several key factors: trip duration, distance traveled, number of days, group size, vehicle type, and time of year. Multi-day and long-distance trips are more expensive than local charters. Larger buses cost more than minibuses but offer a lower per-passenger rate. Peak demand periods—such as spring break, summer vacation, and major events like Aftershock Festival, Golden 1 Center concerts, Kings games, and Sacramento State move-in—can increase prices due to limited availability. Additional expenses like tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging also affect the final price.
