The cost of renting a shuttle bus in San Jose typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,500 or more depending on the size of the vehicle, length of trip, and other factors. Smaller shuttle buses (18–25 passengers) generally cost between $1,000–$2,500 per day, while larger coaches (up to 56 passengers) can range from $1,800–$3,500+ per day. Hourly rates usually fall between $150–$400 per hour with a 5-hour minimum, and multi-day or long-distance trips are billed at a flat daily rate plus mileage.
Several factors influence the price of your San Jose shuttle bus rental, including the type and size of vehicle you choose, the number of passengers, the distance and duration of your trip, the time of year, and current demand. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations may also apply. Peak times like summer weekends, major events (e.g., Silicon Valley tech conferences, Sharks games), and last-minute bookings can increase rates. To get an accurate estimate, it's important to provide a detailed itinerary with all pickup and drop-off locations, including airports like SJC, venues like SAP Center, and local destinations across Santa Clara County.
