Frequently Asked Questions About Charter Bus Rentals in Trenton
FAQS
The cost of renting a shuttle bus in Trenton typically ranges from $1,175 to $3,600+ for multi-day or out-of-town trips. You can expect hourly rates between $185–$325 per hour, daily rates from $1,775–$3,600 per day, and mileage rates of $7.50–$9.00+ per mile depending on the exact vehicle and trip details. Final pricing depends on your exact itinerary, vehicle size, availability, and any additional fees such as tolls or driver accommodations.
Several key factors influence the price of your Trenton shuttle bus rental: the size and type of vehicle you choose (18-, 20-, or 25-passenger minibuses), the length and duration of your trip (local vs. long-distance), the timing of your rental (peak season, holidays, and special events like college graduations or major concerts can increase demand), and the pickup location relative to our dispatch areas. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and hotel accommodations for the driver on multi-day trips will also affect the total cost. Larger vehicles with more amenities generally cost more than smaller, standard models.

Your quote includes the base rental price for the shuttle bus with a driver for the duration of your trip, plus any standard amenities onboard. It covers either hourly, daily, or per-mile billing based on your itinerary. The quote does NOT include additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or hotel accommodations for the driver if required—those will be billed separately or must be arranged by the customer. Gratuity for the driver is also not included unless specified; a tip of 10–20% is customary.
You should book your Trenton bus rental at least four to six months in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rates—especially if your trip falls during peak times like spring and summer wedding season, school graduations, major sporting events, or large festivals such as the Trenton Pork Roll Festival and Trenton PRIDE. Last-minute bookings are possible if vehicles are still available, but selection will be limited and prices may be higher due to increased demand. Once you have your event date and basic itinerary, securing your reservation early guarantees you get the exact vehicle you want at the lowest possible cost.
