Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Dublin, California

A charter bus is a large motorcoach rented by a group to provide private, customized transportation for events, trips, or recurring services. Unlike public transit or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates on the schedule and itinerary set by the customer—whether that’s a one-way transfer, round trip, multi-day excursion, or contract shuttle. Buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and offer amenities like restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats. Smaller minibuses (15–35 seats) are also available for shorter or lower-capacity trips.

Charter Bus Company Dublin offers a wide range of buses in Dublin and the Tri-Valley area, including full-size charter buses (motorcoaches) that seat 47, 50, 55, or 56 passengers; minibuses with 15, 20, 24, 28, 30, or 35 seats; party buses for 10–40 people; school buses; sprinter vans; and ADA-accessible vehicles. Our fleet includes top brands like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, Blue Bird, and Thomas Built. We can accommodate groups of any size for any type of trip, from local shuttles to long-distance travel.

Most Dublin charter buses include reclining seats, climate control, overhead parcel racks, luggage bays, a PA system, reading lights, and either TV monitors with DVD/Blu-ray or flat screens linked to HDMI inputs. Many have free WiFi, 110V/USB power outlets at every row, and an onboard restroom. Minibuses may have fewer amenities but often still offer A/V, WiFi, and storage. For exact specs—like hardwood floors, tray tables, or custom branding—just ask when booking your bus. We can accommodate special requests if you need something specific.

Yes, full-size charter buses in Dublin have substantial luggage space: undercarriage bays run the length of the bus and can hold large suitcases, equipment cases, or even items like skis and instrument crates. Overhead compartments above the seats are suitable for backpacks, coats, or small carry-ons. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size bag for the baggage bay and one smaller item for the overhead rack. If your group has unusual cargo—like bikes, trade show materials, or band gear—let us know so we can recommend the best vehicle.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible charter buses in Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Livermore, and anywhere else in the East Bay. These vehicles are equipped with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, priority seating, and accessible restrooms if needed. If you require an ADA-compliant bus, please specify this when requesting a quote so we can dispatch a vehicle that meets all accessibility standards. We’re committed to making sure every passenger can travel comfortably regardless of mobility needs.

Absolutely. We regularly send charter buses from Dublin to destinations like Sacramento, Fresno, Los Angeles, Anaheim, San Diego, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Las Vegas, and even out-of-state locations such as Portland or Phoenix. Whether you’re planning a multi-day tour, a sports tournament, a conference, or a large family reunion, we can handle the logistics of any long-distance trip. The bus will stay with your group for the duration, making it easy to store luggage, coordinate schedules, and move between multiple venues if needed.

Charter bus rental prices in Dublin typically range from $170 to $400+ per hour on weekdays, $190 to $500+ per hour on weekends, $1,800 to $3,800+ per day, and $6.00 to $9.95 per mile. Minibuses and school buses are less expensive, while party buses and specialty coaches may cost more. The final price depends on the size of the vehicle, the length of the trip, the time of year, and any special requirements. For an exact quote, call our team with your trip details.

The main factors affecting charter bus pricing in Dublin are vehicle size/type, trip duration (hours or days), total mileage, and time of year. Additional variables include exact pickup/drop-off locations, multi-day itineraries requiring driver lodging, tolls (e.g., Bay Bridge or Altamont Pass), and special events that spike demand—such as major concerts, sports playoffs, or festival weekends. Custom wraps, extra cleaning, or unusual routing can also impact the quote. Spring and summer tend to be busier due to graduations, weddings, and youth travel, which may affect availability and rates.

Charter Bus Company Dublin is widely regarded as the most reliable and reputable charter bus company in Dublin because we offer one of the largest fleets in the region, exceptional customer service, and 24/7 support. We’ve handled thousands of successful trips for schools, Fortune 500 companies, sports teams, government agencies, and families.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance for large events or peak seasons (spring and fall). For standard trips, 4 to 8 weeks is usually sufficient. If you’re planning travel during busy periods—such as school graduations, wedding season, or major sporting events—booking even earlier will ensure the best availability and rates. We can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests, but options may be limited. Once you have your date and headcount, securing the bus should be a top priority.

Yes, a deposit is required to confirm your reservation—typically 30% of the total cost. The balance is due 14 to 30 days before the departure date. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, checks, and in some cases wire payments. For bookings made within a month of the trip, full payment may be required upfront. Corporate clients arranging ongoing service can discuss invoicing terms. The reservation is not considered final until the deposit is received; once paid, the vehicle is locked in for your dates.

Your quote includes the charter bus, driver, fuel, standard insurance, and all miles/hours specified in the itinerary. Not included are tolls (such as Bay Area bridges), parking fees, driver lodging for overnight trips, and optional gratuity (customarily 10–20%). For example, parking passes at venues like Oracle Park, Levi’s Stadium, or Chase Center can range from $75 to $250 depending on the event. If your trip requires special permits, extra cleaning (after a beach day or tailgate), or additional stops beyond the contract, those may incur additional charges. We’ll explain all terms clearly before you commit.

To get a quote, call our 24-hour dispatch center or fill out the online form with your trip details: date, pickup/drop-off locations, headcount, type of event, and any special requests. For the most accurate pricing, include specifics like departure times, multiple stops, or return scheduling. Our team will respond quickly—often within hours—with a customized quote and options for different vehicle sizes. There’s no obligation until you’re ready to book. Once you approve the quote, we’ll send a contract and invoice for the deposit.

Yes, you can request a specific make, model, or color—such as a white 56-passenger MCI J4500, a black Grech minicoach, or a silver Prevost H3-45. We also offer blue, red, grey, and custom-wrapped buses for corporate branding or team logos. If you have a preference based on past experience, fleet uniformity, or photo aesthetics, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate. For VIP movements, film shoots, or high-profile events, matching multiple vehicles is also possible.
