What Affects Your Price
6 Factors That Affect Salt Lake City Charter Bus Prices
From a quick shuttle between Downtown Salt Lake City hotels and the Salt Palace Convention Center to a multi-day ski trip up I-80 to Park City, several details shape your quote. Because we don’t own the buses, independent operators compete for your business! Here is what impacts your rate.
Factor 1: Which Bus You Choose
Choose from TONS of bus types in one search, from 11- to 14-passenger sprinter vans and 15- to 35-passenger minibuses to 15- to 50-passenger party buses and 56-passenger charter buses! Smaller coaches cost less than full-size motorcoaches with restrooms and luggage bays.
Factor 2: The Distance and Duration of Your Trip
Coordinating a quick transfer from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) to Temple Square is priced differently than a week-long tour across Utah’s Mighty 5 national parks. Local trips around the Salt Lake Valley typically bill by the hour with a 2- to 5-hour windows, while longer long-distance trips along I-15 bill by the day or mile.
Factor 3: Your Starting City
Browse a large selection of buses across Salt Lake City, the cities around it, and all of Utah! Your starting point affects your price if a provider has to travel extra miles (“deadhead”) from its yard to reach your pickup spot. Because Bus
Factor 4: Tolls, Parking, and Route Fees
Start budgeting for outside venue costs early, since road tolls, canyon fees, and oversized parking passes aren’t included in your online bus quote. For instance, if you book a sporting event charter bus to cheer on the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center or catch a game in Sugar House, your group covers any applicable lot or staging fees. Entry fees on the Adams Canyon or Mill Creek Canyon roads and national park commercial permits are also paid separately by the group. Planning these stops ahead of time keeps your trip running without a hitch!
Factor 5: Long Days and Your Driver's Hotel

Factor 6: Which Day You Ride

Ways to Save
Top 4 Ways to Save on Your Salt Lake City Charter Bus Rental
Ride on a weekday. Weekday hourly rates in the table start below weekend rates for most buses, and Sunday through Thursday typically run the lowest rates.
Fill the seats you pay for. A bigger bus costs more per hour but less per person: a full 56-passenger charter bus starts under $4 per person, per hour.
Book early. Booking early gives you the widest choice of buses for your date.
Keep your pickups together. Every extra pickup adds time on the clock, so one meeting spot keeps the hours, and the price, down.
