Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Salinas, California

The cost of renting a charter bus in Salinas depends on several factors, including the size of the vehicle, length of your trip, and time of year. For example, a standard 56-passenger charter bus generally ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 per day, while smaller minibuses (20-35 passengers) can cost between $800 and $2,500 per day. If you need a bus for multiple days—such as a multi-day wine tour through Carmel Valley or a week-long student trip—it’s often more cost-effective to book by the day rather than by the hour. Peak seasons like summer and harvest time may increase prices due to higher demand. For the most accurate pricing, call our team at 831-785-5650 with your exact itinerary and passenger count.
