Charter Bus Prices in Lansing

The average cost of a charter bus in Lansing is $1,600–$2,950 for a full day (10–14 hours), $475–$775 for a local five-hour rental, or $4.50–$7.00 per mile for longer out-of-town trips. Minibuses (18–28 seats) typically run $1,350–$2,400 per day, while larger 56-passenger coaches are $2,000–$3,500+ per day depending on exact size and amenities.

Several key factors determine the final cost of your Lansing charter bus rental:

• Time of Year: Demand peaks during spring and summer due to graduations, weddings, and travel. Expect higher rates from April through June when Michigan State University holds commencement and local K-12 schools like Lansing School District and East Lansing Public Schools wrap up their academic year.
• Trip Duration: Longer trips covering more miles will increase your total price. Multi-day or overnight trips require additional planning and budgeting for lodging and meals.
• Passenger Count: Larger groups need bigger buses, which cost more but can lower the per-person rate. Smaller groups can save by renting a minibus instead of a full-size coach.
• Pickup Location: If your trip starts outside our service area, you'll pay extra for the bus to reach your pickup point. This "deadhead" fee covers the empty miles traveled before passengers board.
• Bus Type: Standard charter buses seat up to 56 passengers, while minibuses hold 18–28. Upgrading to a party bus or executive coach with premium amenities will raise the base price.
• Amenities: Features like WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, restrooms, and entertainment systems may add to the cost. Be sure to request only the amenities you need.
