We calculate your charter bus price based on several factors: the type and size of bus you need (minibus, full-size charter, etc.), the length of your trip (mileage or number of days/hours), your pickup and drop-off locations, any additional stops or special requests, and current demand/seasonality. Once we have your full itinerary and requirements, we’ll provide an all-inclusive quote that covers the bus, driver, fuel, and standard amenities.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost and must be paid within three days of signing the contract. Your reservation is not confirmed until the deposit is received. The remaining balance is due before your trip departs.

The final payment for your charter bus rental is due before your trip departs. You can pay the balance anytime after the deposit is made, but it must be paid in full prior to the scheduled departure date. If the balance is not received by the due date, your reservation may be subject to cancellation and loss of deposit.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least 6–9 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing—especially if your trip falls during a busy travel season like spring break, summer vacation, or the fall sports calendar. Temple sees high demand for buses around major events such as Baylor football games, the Heart O’ Texas Fair & Rodeo, and local graduations. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, which is why we also accommodate last-minute reservations whenever possible—sometimes with as little as 24 hours’ notice. The earlier you book, the more options you’ll have when it comes to vehicle selection, amenities, and scheduling.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The driver must have a private room and access to restroom facilities. For multi-day trips, the driver will need lodging each night that the bus is away from the home base. If your trip involves multiple drivers, you will need to arrange accommodations for each one. Be sure to factor these costs into your budget when planning your trip.

No, your quote does not include tolls, parking fees, or special permits. These additional expenses are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid separately. Tolls may be billed after the trip if incurred during travel. Parking fees at hotels, venues, or event sites are not included in the base rate. Any required permits for city or venue access are also excluded from the initial quote. Please budget accordingly for these extra costs.

Temple’s public transit system, operated by Hill Country Transit District (The HOP), offers fixed-route and paratransit services within the city and limited connections to nearby communities. While affordable, The HOP’s routes and schedules may not align with your group’s specific needs, making it difficult to coordinate travel to events, business meetings, or regional destinations.

It’s ideal for groups traveling to locations not served by public transit, including out-of-town trips to Austin, Waco, or Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport.
