How Much Does a Bus Rental Cost?

Most people pay between $170 to $500 per hour or $1,800 to $3,800 per day for a bus rental in South Jordan. Here are some average rates by vehicle type:

  • 56-Passenger Coach Bus – $197 – $519 per hour · $1,600 – $3,800 per day · $5.00 – $8.00 per mile
  • 25-Passenger Minibus – $165 – $428 per hour · $1,300 – $3,200 per day · $4.00 – $7.00 per mile
  • 20-Passenger Minibus – $157 – $414 per hour · $1,300 – $3,100 per day · $4.00 – $7.00 per mile
  • 18-Passenger Minibus – $145 – $404 per hour · $1,300 – $3,000 per day · $4.00 – $7.00 per mile

Smaller minibuses (15-30 passengers) are usually the cheapest option, while full-size charter buses (50+ passengers) and party buses cost more. You’ll pay less if you’re traveling locally within Salt Lake County, Herriman, Riverton, West Jordan, or Draper and more if you’re going out of state or doing an overnight trip. The time of year also matters—rates are higher during spring and summer when there’s more demand for school trips, weddings, and sports tournaments.

What Factors Influence Bus Rental Pricing in South Jordan?

The biggest factor is the type and size of bus you choose. Larger vehicles like a 56-passenger charter bus or a 35-passenger minibus cost more than smaller options like a 15-passenger minibus or 18-passenger sprinter van. Party buses and specialty vehicles with extra amenities (leather seats, hardwood floors, lighting, sound systems) are also priced higher.

Your itinerary matters too. Local trips within South Jordan, West Jordan, Riverton, Herriman, or Draper are usually billed by the hour with a 4- or 5-hour minimum. If you’re going to Provo, Ogden, Park City, or out of state, we may charge by the day or by the mile. Multi-day trips will include the total number of days and estimated mileage. Busy seasons like spring (April-June) and fall (September-October) see higher rates due to increased demand for school field trips, graduations, weddings, and sports events. You’ll save money if you book during winter or late summer when there’s less competition for vehicles.

Additional costs can include driver lodging for overnight trips (one hotel room per night), tolls on I-15, I-80, or Mountain View Corridor (SR-85), parking fees at places like Vivint Arena, Rice-Eccles Stadium, or downtown Salt Lake City, and gratuity (usually 10-15%). We’ll include most charges in your initial quote so there are no surprises later. If you have special requests like onboard WiFi, power outlets, PA system, ADA-accessible lifts, or extra luggage space for ski gear or band instruments, let us know—we can accommodate almost anything but it may affect the final price.

Sample Trip Pricing Examples

Below are a few sample pricing examples for common trips in South Jordan, UT and around Utah. Please note that these are estimates and your actual price may vary based on your specific needs and travel dates.

School Field Trip to Hogle Zoo

18 passenger minibus rental

A middle school in South Jordan is planning a field trip to Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City for 120 students and 10 chaperones. They need two 56-passenger charter buses to pick up everyone at 8:00 AM, spend the day at the zoo, and return by 3:00 PM. This is an 8-hour local charter with no overnight stay. The total cost would be around $3,200 ($1,600 per bus), which includes all mileage, taxes, and fees. If each student pays $27, it covers the entire bus rental.

Wedding Shuttle at Millennial Falls

56 passenger charter bus

A bride is hosting her wedding at Millennial Falls in Draper and wants a continuous shuttle between the venue and hotels in South Jordan and Sandy. She books a 25-passenger minibus for 6 hours to run guests back and forth for the ceremony and reception. The total cost comes to $1,800. This keeps her guests safe, avoids parking hassles, and ensures everyone arrives on time. Smaller groups could use a 15-passenger minibus for about $1,500, while larger parties might need a second bus.

Corporate Event at Mountain America Expo Center

56 passenger coach bus

A tech company is exhibiting at the Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy and hires a 20-passenger minibus to shuttle employees from their office in South Jordan to the convention center each morning and back in the evening for three days. The bus runs 4 hours per day (2 hours each way), totaling 12 hours over the event. The quote comes to $3,600 ($1,200 per day), which is less expensive than reimbursing mileage or rideshares for 20 people and guarantees everyone arrives together.

Byu Football Game Charter

18 passenger minibus

A group of fans wants to see a BYU football game in Provo and rents an 18-passenger minibus for a round trip from South Jordan to LaVell Edwards Stadium. The bus leaves at noon, arrives for tailgating, waits through the evening game, and brings everyone home after. The total charter is 8 hours and costs $1,600. Splitting this among 18 riders is less than $90 each and saves the hassle of driving, parking, or staying overnight.

Ski Trip to Snowbird

20 passenger minibus

A youth group is heading to Snowbird for a day of skiing and needs transportation for 40 people plus their gear. They book a 56-passenger charter bus with undercarriage storage for skis and snowboards. The bus departs South Jordan at 7:00 AM, drops everyone at the resort, and returns after the lifts close. This 10-hour charter costs $2,000, which is about $50 per person. There’s enough room for everyone to bring bags, coolers, and helmets without crowding the aisles.

Multi-day Tour to Las Vegas

25 passenger minibus

A church group is organizing a three-day trip to Las Vegas for a conference and sightseeing.

The package rate is $6,500 and includes all mileage, driver’s hotel, and tolls. With a full bus, it’s just $116 per person for round-trip transportation.
