Daily rates range from $1,000 to $5,000+ depending on the vehicle type, size, and features. We can also quote by the mile if you’re planning a multi-day trip or out-of-state charter.

Several factors influence the cost of your bus rental: vehicle type and size (minibuses are less expensive than full-size coaches), trip duration (hourly, daily, or multi-day), mileage (local vs. long-distance), time of year (spring and fall are peak seasons for graduations and sports), and any optional upgrades like WiFi, power outlets, or extra luggage space. Local events like University of Illinois football games, Ebertfest, or Taste of Champaign-Urbana can also impact availability and pricing, so it’s smart to book early if you’re traveling during a busy weekend.

Coach buses can park or load/unload at several designated areas around Champaign-Urbana, including Lot E-14 at State Farm Center, the circle drive at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, and the bus loop at Illinois Terminal downtown. For campus events, check with University of Illinois Parking for permits and recommended zones near Memorial Stadium or Assembly Hall. Downtown streets like Neil, Walnut, and Chester have limited space for short-term stops, so plan ahead if you’re picking up near restaurants or hotels. If you’re unsure where to stage your bus, our team can help coordinate logistics with venue staff or city officials.

Your quote includes exclusive use of the bus for the duration of your trip, all standard amenities onboard, and unlimited mileage/hours within the agreed itinerary. Gratuity is not included unless you request it. Any tolls, parking fees, or entrance charges incurred during the trip are not included and must be paid separately by the group organizer. This covers expenses like Illinois Tollway plazas, downtown parking meters, or event-specific permits at places like Memorial Stadium or State Farm Center. If you have questions about what’s covered, just ask our team before you book.
