When you book a charter bus in Tempe, your price will depend on several key factors: the size and type of vehicle, the length and mileage of your trip, the time of year, and any special amenities or requests. Here’s how each factor breaks down:

Vehicle Size and Type: Larger buses like 56-passenger motorcoaches cost more per hour or per mile than smaller minibuses because they seat more people and offer more amenities. However, the cost per person often goes down with larger vehicles. Specialty vehicles like party buses or entertainer coaches may have premium pricing.

Trip Length and Mileage: Local trips within Tempe or the Phoenix metro area are usually billed by the hour. Expect hourly rates between $150 and $350 depending on the bus size. Longer trips—such as out-of-town charters to Tucson, Flagstaff, or overnight destinations—are billed by the mile or by the day. Per-mile rates range from $5 to $10, while daily rates run $1,200 to $3,500. Your quote will include all base mileage, but additional miles beyond the original itinerary may incur extra charges.

Seasonal Demand: Charter bus rates are higher during peak travel seasons when demand is highest. In Arizona, this includes spring months (April–June) due to events like Cactus League spring training, college graduations, and school trips, as well as fall weekends (September–November) for football games and conventions. Booking during off-peak times can save money.

Special Amenities: Standard amenities such as reclining seats, air conditioning, WiFi, power outlets, and onboard restrooms are included on most full-size coaches. If you require premium features like leather seats, PA systems, DVD monitors, or custom branding, mention this upfront as it may affect availability and pricing.

Additional Expenses: Your rental quote covers the bus and driver, but you are responsible for certain incidental costs. These include tolls (such as Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway), parking fees at venues (like ASU’s Desert Financial Arena or Tempe Beach Park), and hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. Industry standard is one single-occupancy room per driver per night. It is customary to tip your driver 10–20% of the total charter cost for excellent service; this is already included in our quotes.

Because every trip is different, the best way to get an accurate price is to call Price4Limo with your exact itinerary—including pickup and drop-off addresses, dates and times, number of passengers, and any special requests. We’ll give you a fast, all-inclusive quote so you can budget your next event with confidence.
