Price4Limo Has 4,000+ Five Star Reviews
★★★★★
"We had a large user conference, with about 1,000 attendees at 10 different hotels. Most of the hotels were in Midtown, but the event was over a few days at the stadium downtown. The bus company we originally booked backed out on us the week before the event! Mike with Price4Limo saved the day by procuring buses and drivers for the duration of the event. The drivers were very patient and gracious with us when we had frequent schedule changes, unexpectedly extended hours, and pickup location changes. We were very pleased with the service, especially with the speed at which Price4Limo solved the problem."

What are some sample price quotes for Gilbert charter bus rentals?
To help you better understand what it costs to rent a charter bus in Gilbert, here are real examples of recent quotes and bookings:
Example 1: A teacher at Gilbert High School is organizing a field trip to the Arizona Science Center in Phoenix for 150 students and 12 chaperones (total: 162 people). They need transportation from the school to downtown Phoenix, departing at 8:30 AM and returning by 3:30 PM. The Price 4 Charter Buses & Limos Gilbert agent recommends three full-size charter buses (each with 56 seats) to accommodate everyone comfortably. At $1,400 per bus for the day, the total comes to $4,200.
Example 2: A bride and groom are getting married at Shenandoah Mill and want to provide a shuttle for their wedding party and immediate family (24 people) between a hotel block near SanTan Village and the venue.

For the most accurate pricing, call Price 4 Charter Buses & Limos Gilbert at 602-854-1420 with your exact itinerary.
What factors affect charter bus rental costs in Gilbert, Arizona?
The answer isn’t simple, because several factors influence your final price—including travel dates, distance, bus size, and more. Understanding these details will help you get an accurate quote and budget effectively for your next event.
How far you travel and how long you need the bus are two of the biggest factors in your total cost. Short local trips—like shuttling wedding guests between venues in Downtown Gilbert or moving corporate teams from Heritage District offices to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport—are often billed by the hour. Longer journeys, such as school field trips to the Grand Canyon or multi-day sports team travel across state lines, may be priced per day or per mile. The more miles and hours your charter bus logs, the higher the overall rate.
Number of Days
Single-day events in Gilbert—such as a concert at Higley Center for the Performing Arts or a conference at SanTan Village—will naturally cost less than multi-day bookings. If your itinerary spans several days, your quote will reflect the extended use of the bus and driver. It’s essential to provide a detailed schedule upfront so your reservation specialist can generate the most accurate estimate possible.
Seasonality (Time of Year)
Charter bus demand in Gilbert fluctuates based on the season. Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) are peak periods due to the wedding season, major sporting events, and school activities. You might see higher rates during these busy months.
Pickup and Drop-off Locations
Your price includes not only where you’re going but also where the trip begins and ends. If your starting point is outside the Phoenix metro area—for example, in Queen Creek, Chandler Heights, or Mesa—your quote will include “deadhead” mileage: the distance the bus travels empty to reach your pickup location. Always provide exact addresses when requesting a quote so all travel time is accounted for.
Bus Size and Type
Larger vehicles generally come with higher base rates but can accommodate more passengers, making them cost-effective for big groups. A 56-passenger charter bus is ideal for transporting entire wedding parties or church congregations, while a 20- to 35-seat minibus works well for corporate outings or family reunions. The type of bus you choose will significantly impact your total rental price.
Special Amenities
Standard features on our buses include Wi-Fi, power outlets, reclining seats, and climate control. However, certain amenities may incur additional charges depending on availability and supplier policies. Be sure to specify any special requests when booking so they’re reflected in your personalized quote.
Additional Expenses
Beyond the base rental fee, you may need to budget for extras like tolls, parking fees at destinations (such as Phoenix Convention Center or State Farm Stadium), and hotel accommodations for your driver on overnight trips. It’s customary to tip your driver 10–20% of the total cost as a gratuity for excellent service. These incidental expenses are typically paid directly by you during the course of your trip.
Deadhead (Empty Mileage)
You’ll also pay for “deadhead”—the miles the bus travels empty to reach your starting point or return to its depot after drop-off. For instance, if you’re located in a suburb like Queen Creek, Chandler Heights, or Mesa, the extra mileage from the nearest bus hub will be factored into your quote. Always provide exact addresses so this is calculated accurately.
For an exact quote, you can contact our 24/7/365 reservation specialists at 602-854-1420. We'll work with you to get you a quote in under a minute and make sure you find exactly what you need!

Smaller minibuses typically seat between 18 and 35 passengers and offer many of the same features as full-size coaches, including comfortable reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, and video screens. These vehicles are ideal for shorter trips around the Phoenix metro area or shuttling guests between venues in downtown Gilbert.

Top Gilbert Venues & Attractions Served by Our Charter Buses
Groups book Gilbert charter buses to top destinations like Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch, Hale Centre Theatre, Downtown Heritage District, and Desert Sky Park because it’s the easiest way to beat traffic, avoid parking headaches, and keep everyone together on a flexible schedule. Charter buses handle curbside drop-off, and custom itineraries better than any other option—perfect for school trips, corporate outings, wedding parties, or family reunions heading to Gilbert’s best attractions.
Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch
The Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch is one of Gilbert’s most popular attractions, drawing school groups, birding clubs, scout troops, and eco-tourists year-round. Located at 2757 E Guadalupe Rd, this 110-acre sanctuary features seven ponds, over four miles of trails, and more than 300 species of birds. Parking here is limited—especially for oversized vehicles—and spillover lots require crossing busy intersections on foot. A charter bus solves this problem by dropping your group curbside at the main entrance, then staging offsite until pickup. That means no one has to haul gear from a distant lot or worry about leaving valuables in a hot car. Inside the preserve, you’ll appreciate having everyone arrive together so tours can start on time. Buses also provide secure storage for backpacks, coolers, and telescopes, plus air conditioning for the ride home after hiking in triple-digit heat.
Hale Centre Theatre
Catching a show at Hale Centre Theatre is a quintessential Gilbert experience—but getting there isn’t always easy. This 350-seat venue sits in the heart of downtown, where street parking fills up fast and nearby garages charge premium rates during performances. If you’re traveling with a church group, senior community, or drama class, splitting up into multiple cars means risking missed curtain calls and scrambling for seats. A charter bus keeps your entire party on the same schedule with direct service to the theater’s front doors. You’ll bypass the hassle of circling for spaces, navigating construction detours, or walking several blocks after dark. After the final bow, everyone boards together for a smooth departure while rideshares and personal vehicles clog the exits. It’s the most reliable way to enjoy live entertainment without the stress of downtown traffic.
Downtown Gilbert Heritage District
The Heritage District is Gilbert’s dining and nightlife hub, home to popular spots like Postino East, Joe’s Real BBQ, and the Farmhouse Restaurant. But with limited street parking and crowded public lots, getting here with a large group can be a nightmare. Charter buses solve this problem by dropping everyone off together at a convenient location, then picking up at the end of the night. There’s no need to worry about designated drivers or splitting up into multiple cars. Plus, you can store leftovers or shopping bags on the bus while you explore the district’s shops and galleries.
Sloan Park
Spring training is better with a bus—especially when you’re traveling with fans who want to hit more than one game in a weekend. Sloan Park in Mesa is the largest stadium in the Cactus League and home to the Chicago Cubs, drawing sellout crowds throughout February and March. Located just off Loop 101 and Rio Salado Parkway, the ballpark has limited parking that fills up quickly on game days. Charter buses receive priority parking near the main entrance, allowing your group to tailgate before first pitch and avoid the long walk from remote lots.
If you’ve ever tried to drive to a Cubs spring training game at Sloan Park, you know how bad the traffic gets on Rio Salado Parkway and Dobson Road. Parking lots fill up an hour before first pitch, and overflow crowds are sent to remote lots half a mile away. A charter bus drops you off at the main gate and picks you up after the final out, so you don’t have to worry about missing the action or hiking back to your car in 90-degree heat. And if you want to catch a doubleheader at Hohokam Stadium or Tempe Diablo afterward, your driver will get you there on time.
Desert Botanical Garden
Field trips, wedding photos, and corporate retreats all find inspiration at the Desert Botanical Garden in Papago Park. This 140-acre living museum showcases thousands of desert plants along winding trails that climb through red rock buttes. Located off McDowell Road and Galvin Parkway, the garden sits within Papago Park alongside the Phoenix Zoo and Hole-in-the-Rock Trail.
If your itinerary includes both the zoo and the botanical garden, a private bus keeps everyone moving on schedule without waiting for public shuttles or crossing busy intersections on foot. And because temperatures routinely top 100°F between May and September, having a climate-controlled cabin to return to makes the difference between a memorable outing and a miserable one.
State Farm Stadium
No list of Arizona attractions would be complete without mentioning State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals and host to concerts and sporting events year-round. Located in Glendale west of Phoenix, the venue anchors a massive entertainment district surrounded by freeways and desert sprawl. Driving here means battling bumper-to-bumper traffic on Interstate 10 and Loop 101, then paying premium rates for parking half a mile from the entrance.
Charter buses receive dedicated parking closer to the stadium and serve as mobile base camps for tailgating before kickoff. Fans can bring coolers, grills, and folding chairs to set up the ultimate pregame party, then pack everything away before heading inside. Afterward, there’s no risk of getting lost in the crowd or waiting hours for rideshares with surge pricing. The bus stays until everyone is aboard and delivers you home safely—even if the postgame celebrations run late.
Arizona State University
Whether you’re touring the campus with prospective students or attending a Sun Devils football game at Mountain America Stadium, getting to ASU in Tempe means dealing with urban congestion and scarce parking. The university sits at the heart of a dense cityscape bordered by major arteries like Apache Boulevard and Rural Road. On weekdays, traffic crawls as thousands of commuters converge on the area.
Rather than sending a convoy of cars or relying on infrequent light rail service, groups can charter a bus to streamline the journey. School counselors appreciate keeping their cohort together for guided tours, while alumni associations use the service to attend lectures or reunions without the hassle of campus permits. Afterward, the bus can swing by Mill Avenue for dinner reservations or head straight back to Gilbert via the fastest route available.
SanTan Village
SanTan Village is Gilbert’s premier outdoor shopping center, home to major retailers like Apple, Macy’s, and Harkins Theatres. Located at Williams Field Road and SanTan Village Parkway, it attracts shoppers from across the East Valley—especially during holiday sales and special events. While the mall offers ample surface parking, navigating the sprawling lots can be challenging for large groups or those unfamiliar with the layout.
With a charter bus, your driver handles drop-off and pickup at designated zones near each anchor store, eliminating long walks across hot asphalt. Groups can split up to shop independently, then regroup for lunch without coordinating multiple vehicles. For student organizations or youth groups visiting on a budget, having transportation covered means more freedom to explore.
