Several key factors will influence the total cost of your McAllen bus rental package: travel dates and seasonality (peak demand periods like spring break, Holy Week/Semana Santa, and major festivals can increase rates), the type and size of vehicle you choose (larger buses with more amenities cost more than smaller models), the length and duration of your trip (multi-day and long-distance itineraries are priced differently than short local runs), the pickup location relative to our nearest depot (additional fees may apply if a vehicle must be sent from outside the immediate area), and any special requests such as custom branding, upgraded amenities, or complex routing with multiple stops.

You can get an instant quote by calling our reservations team at 956-713-6600 or using the online quote form on our website. Provide details about your trip—including pickup location, destination, number of passengers, and travel dates—and we’ll give you a personalized price estimate within seconds. Once you receive your quote, you can easily compare options, ask questions, and book your bus rental online or over the phone.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the vehicle, driver compensation, fuel, tolls, and mileage or hourly charges based on your itinerary. Additional expenses such as parking fees, hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips, and gratuity are not included and should be planned for separately. We’ll break down all costs upfront so you know exactly what to expect before you book.

We recommend booking your bus rental at least four to six weeks in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates. If you’re traveling during a busy season—such as spring break, Easter week, or around major local events like the Texas Citrus Fiesta—it’s wise to reserve your vehicle even earlier. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have open inventory, but selection may be limited and prices could be higher.
