Charter Bus Prices in Grand Rapids

Most groups book their buses anywhere from three months to a year in advance. This ensures you get the exact make and model of bus you want—whether that’s a 56-passenger motorcoach with leather seats and onboard WiFi or a 20-passenger minibus for quick trips around downtown Grand Rapids. Last-minute rentals are possible, but your options may be limited and rates can be higher during peak travel seasons.

The best way to get an accurate estimate is to call our team at 616-929-5020. We’ll need details like your pickup and drop-off locations, trip itinerary, group size, and any special amenities required. Once we have that information, we can provide a personalized quote in minutes.

Several key factors influence the final cost of your Grand Rapids bus rental:

• Type and Size of Bus: Larger vehicles like 56-passenger motorcoaches cost more than smaller minibuses or sprinter vans. Full-size coaches also come with more amenities, which can affect pricing.
• Trip Duration and Distance: Local trips within Grand Rapids (e.g., to Van Andel Arena or DeVos Place) are typically billed by the hour, while longer journeys to Detroit, Chicago, or Lansing are charged by the mile or day.
• Time of Year: Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school events, sports tournaments, and weddings. Rates are higher during these months compared to winter or late summer.
• Pickup Location: If your trip starts outside our primary service area (e.g., in Muskegon or Holland), additional fees may apply to cover the driver’s deadhead mileage.
• Itinerary Complexity: Multiple stops, layovers, or custom routes (such as brewery tours or campus shuttles) can increase the overall cost.
• Additional Expenses: Tolls, parking fees (at venues like Van Andel Arena or GRR airport), and driver accommodations for overnight trips are typically not included in the base quote.

For the most accurate pricing, have your trip details ready when you request a quote: travel dates, pickup and drop-off addresses, group size, and any must-have amenities (like Wi-Fi or onboard restrooms).
