Below, we break down what goes into each quote and how you can get the best price for your group.

There are many factors that go into the cost of a Birmingham charter bus rental, starting with the type of bus. Larger vehicles like a 56-passenger motorcoach generally cost more than smaller vehicles like a 15-passenger minibus or a 28-passenger minibus. In addition, if you request a bus with luxury amenities like leather seats, flat-screen TVs, or onboard restrooms, your rental may cost more. (You can read more about the different types of buses available on our fleet page.)

In addition to the type of bus, the duration and distance of your trip will also affect the cost. Local trips within Birmingham are typically priced by the hour, with a five-hour minimum. Longer trips that go beyond city limits, such as to Tuscaloosa, Montgomery, or Atlanta, are usually priced by the mile. If you’re planning a multi-day event, such as a corporate retreat or a multi-game sports tournament, your rental may be priced by the day.

Timing is another important factor. Charter bus rates are higher during peak travel seasons, which in Birmingham include spring and fall. This is when schools book buses for field trips and athletic events, and when many local festivals and weddings take place. If your trip falls during a busy weekend—such as when UAB has homecoming, The World Games are in town, or there’s a major concert at Legacy Arena—you’ll pay more than if you travel midweek during the off-season.

Additional costs can include tolls on roads like I-20/59 or Highway 280, parking fees at venues like Protective Stadium or the BJCC, and lodging for your driver if your trip extends overnight. Most companies also require a deposit to secure your booking, with the balance due before departure.
