Charter Bus Rentals Temecula, California

The cost of a Temecula charter bus rental typically ranges from $1,100 to $4,000+ depending on vehicle size, trip duration, mileage, and season. Local trips are usually billed by the hour (with a 5-hour minimum), while longer or multi-day trips are charged by the day or mile. For example, a 56-passenger motor coach might run $250–$325 per hour, $3,200–$4,200 per day, or $8–$9.50 per mile. Smaller vehicles like 25-passenger minibuses are less expensive—around $185–$260 per hour or $2,100–$2,800 per day. Peak months (spring and fall) see higher rates due to school and wedding demand.

Most modern charter buses come standard with reclining cloth or leatherette seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a forward-facing PA system. Additional amenities may include free Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at every row, up to six flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth audio, microphone jacks, and a full-size rear restroom. Premium coaches can be upgraded with leather upholstery, executive tables, forward/rear-facing seating zones, and custom branding. Mid-size minibuses offer many of the same features in a smaller package, though not all include restrooms or luggage bays. Exact specs vary by model—ask your agent for details when booking.

Yes, most full-size (56-passenger) charter buses include a restroom at the rear of the coach. The facility is compact but functional, with a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and modesty door. It’s designed for emergency use between stops rather than extended visits. Smaller minibuses (18–35 passengers) typically do not have onboard restrooms due to space constraints. If a restroom is important, request a vehicle with one when booking. For longer trips, your driver can schedule regular comfort breaks at rest areas or convenience stores.

Yes, most newer charter buses come equipped with 110V power outlets and/or USB charging ports at every seat row. This allows passengers to keep phones, tablets, and laptops powered throughout the journey. Older models may have outlets spaced every few rows or only in the front/rear of the cabin. If access to power is essential for your group—especially for business travelers or student groups—please specify this requirement when requesting a quote. We can assign a coach with ample outlets to meet your needs.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on most of our charter buses and can be requested when you book. The connection is suitable for email, web browsing, and social media, but streaming video or large downloads may be restricted to ensure fair usage for all passengers. If reliable internet access is important for your trip, let your reservation specialist know so they can assign a vehicle with a strong Wi-Fi system. Keep in mind that connectivity may be limited in remote areas or during portions of the route with poor cellular coverage.

Yes, full-size motorcoaches have generous luggage space with both undercarriage bays for large items and overhead racks inside the cabin for smaller bags. A 56-passenger bus can typically accommodate up to two pieces of luggage per person—one stored below and one carry-on above. Minibuses have limited luggage space, usually restricted to overhead racks and a small rear cargo area. If your group has extra baggage, sports equipment, or bulky items, please mention this when booking so we can recommend a vehicle with adequate storage.

We have buses that can accommodate anywhere from 18 to 56 passengers. Our minibuses seat 18, 20, or 25 passengers and are ideal for smaller groups or short-distance trips. Full-size motorcoaches can seat up to 56 passengers and are perfect for large groups, long-distance travel, or events requiring multiple pickups and drop-offs. If you’re not sure what size you need, our team can help you choose the best option based on your group size and itinerary.

Loading and parking a charter bus in Temecula is easiest at larger venues or public lots with ample space. Popular locations include the Old Town Parking Garage on Mercedes Street, which accommodates oversized vehicles and provides easy access to Main Street attractions, and the Temecula Valley Unified School District lot for school-related trips. Many winery venues along Rancho California Road, such as Wilson Creek and South Coast, have designated bus zones for group arrivals. For hotel pickups, properties like the Embassy Suites and Hampton Inn offer curbside loading areas suitable for large vehicles. When visiting Pechanga Resort Casino, use the designated charter bus lot near the east entrance. Always confirm with your destination ahead of time, as some private lots may require advance notice or special permits for bus parking. If you need assistance finding a suitable location, our team can recommend options based on your itinerary.

It’s best to book your charter bus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak seasons like spring (wedding and school trip season) or fall (harvest and festival season). This lead time gives you the best selection of vehicles and ensures availability for popular dates. Last-minute bookings are possible, but your choice of bus may be limited and rates may be higher. For major events, large groups, or multi-day trips, booking even earlier—up to a year in advance—is recommended.

Getting a quote is easy—just call our team at 951-889-6430 or fill out the online quote form with your trip details. We’ll need to know your pickup location, destination, departure date and time, group size, and any special requests or itinerary details. Once we have this information, we can provide you with a personalized quote in minutes. If you have multiple pickups, drop-offs, or need service over several days, please include those details so we can give you an accurate estimate.

Your quote includes the cost of the bus, driver’s time, fuel, and mileage for the specified itinerary. It does not include tolls, parking fees, or driver gratuity (typically 10–20%). Additional expenses such as lodging and meals for the driver on overnight trips are also not included. Any optional amenities or special requests will be itemized in the quote. If your itinerary changes after booking, the price may be adjusted accordingly.

Once you receive your quote, review the details and contact your reservation specialist to confirm the booking. You’ll be asked to sign a contract and provide a deposit—usually payable by credit card or ACH transfer. The balance is due before the trip date. After booking, you’ll receive a confirmation with your trip details and can contact your specialist with any questions or changes. Final payment and a passenger manifest are typically required one to two weeks before departure.
