Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Springfield, Missouri

Springfield charter bus rentals typically cost between $1,400 and $3,500 per day, depending on the vehicle size, trip duration, and time of year. Local trips—such as shuttles between Missouri State University and downtown or single-day outings to Branson—may be billed by the hour or mile, while multi-day or out-of-town charters (to Kansas City or St. Louis) are usually charged by the day. Smaller vehicles like minibuses start at $150–$250 per hour, while full-size coaches run $250–$375 per hour or more.

We calculate your charter bus rental pricing based on the type of bus, the length and distance of your trip, the time of year, and any special requests or amenities. Local trips within Springfield—like shuttles to Hammons Field or the Expo Center—may be billed hourly or by mileage. Longer trips (e.g., Springfield to St. Louis or Kansas City) are usually billed by the day. Additional factors include tolls, parking, driver lodging for multi-day trips, and custom amenities.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your booking. This deposit is due when you sign the contract and will be applied toward your final balance. The deposit amount varies depending on the size of the bus and the specifics of your trip, but it is typically around 30% of the total rental cost. Your reservation is not confirmed until we receive both the signed contract and the deposit.

The final payment for your Springfield charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. Typically, we require full payment 14 to 30 days prior to departure. If you book less than 30 days in advance, the entire balance may be due immediately. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. Your trip must be paid in full before the bus arrives for pickup—no exceptions.

Yes, your quote will include a standard driver gratuity—typically 10–20% of the base fare. This amount is pre-set and itemized in your contract so you know exactly what’s covered. While additional cash tips are always appreciated for exceptional service, they’re never required. If you feel your driver went above and beyond—helping with luggage, keeping to a tight schedule, or navigating difficult routes—you’re welcome to tip extra at the end of the trip.

Last-minute rentals are possible but availability may be limited and rates higher. For major events—like MSU homecoming or multi-day weddings—book as early as possible.

Yes, for multi-day trips that require an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing and paying for the driver’s hotel accommodations. The hotel should be a budget-friendly property (such as Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn, or similar) and must offer secure parking for the bus. Driver lodging is not included in the base rental fee and will be added to your final invoice if we arrange it. For single-day trips or short charters, no driver accommodation is needed.

No, your quote covers the bus, driver, fuel, and standard insurance but does not include tolls, parking fees, or entrance charges to venues.

These can be paid directly during the trip or billed separately afterward. Please budget for additional expenses such as tolls and parking when planning your trip.
