Charter Bus Rentals San Diego, California

Most full-size charter buses in San Diego have between 40 to 56 seats, making them one of the best options for moving large groups all together in one vehicle! This range lets you choose a bus that fits your headcount without splitting people into several smaller vehicles. If you’re not sure which size works best for your group, call our team anytime-we’ll match you to the right size charter bus rental for your exact needs.

All our San Diego charter buses are equipped with modern amenities designed to make your trip as comfortable and convenient as possible! Standard features include plush reclining seats with adjustable footrests, powerful air conditioning for hot Southern California days, onboard restrooms, and Wi-Fi for streaming movies or checking email. You’ll also get power outlets at every row to keep devices charged, video monitors, a PA system, and tons of storage space in overhead bins and under the bus.

Upgrades include USB charging ports, extra-wide reclining seats, and even an integrated sound system compatible with Bluetooth.

Yes! Every one of our San Diego charter buses comes equipped with 110V electrical outlets and USB charging ports throughout the cabin. This means passengers can charge their laptops, smartphones, tablets, or other electronic devices while on the road. Outlets are conveniently located along the sidewalls or directly between the seats for easy access. So, whether you need to send emails before a meeting downtown or keep kids entertained with screens on a long ride, you’ll never have to worry about running out of battery again.

Yes, most of the full-size charter bus rentals in our San Diego fleet come equipped with onboard restrooms (sometimes called a lavatory) in the rear of the bus. This built-in facility includes a toilet and sink, allowing passengers to use the restroom during transit without needing frequent stops on the way to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or the Grand Canyon. It’s perfect for long trips or transporting big groups where restroom breaks could otherwise slow down the schedule.

If you specifically require a restroom on your vehicle, be sure to mention it when you call for a quote. While common on large charter buses, minibuses typically do not include a bathroom due to limited space, so we recommend upgrading to a full-size coach if this amenity is essential for your trip.

Yes! Luggage storage is one of the biggest advantages of renting a full-size charter bus over traveling by plane, train, or carpooling. You’ll get two dedicated storage areas: massive undercarriage bays beneath the floor of the bus for checked-style suitcases, duffel bags, equipment cases, or even items like skis and golf clubs; and overhead parcel racks above each row of seats for carry-on bags, backpacks, purses, jackets, and small personal belongings. This keeps the main aisle clear and gives everyone plenty of legroom. No matter how much stuff your group has, you can travel comfortably.

A charter bus rental in San Diego typically costs between $1,000 and $3,000 per day depending on the size of the vehicle, length of your trip, time of year, and the specific route you take. For example, a short local transfer from Downtown San Diego to Mission Valley may start around $650-$950 total, while a full-day package for a wedding shuttle or corporate event can range from $1,300 to $2,500 or more. Longer trips-like a roundtrip excursion from San Diego to Disneyland or LAX-will be billed based on mileage and duration, often averaging $3.50 to $6.00 per mile or $160 to $270 per hour.

We recommend booking your San Diego charter bus at least six to nine months in advance to guarantee availability and lock in the best pricing. Demand for charter buses in San Diego spikes during peak travel seasons, including spring break, summer vacation, and major events like Comic-Con International in July. Last-minute bookings made less than three months before departure date may face limited selection and higher rates due to increased demand across California. Securing your reservation early ensures you get exactly the type of vehicle you want!

No, your initial quote covers the base cost of the bus rental and driver but does NOT include additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or hotel accommodations for the driver. These extra charges must be paid separately by the customer.

For example, parking passes at PETCO Park range from $25 to $50 depending on location, while Balboa Park lots charge $10 to $20 per entry.

San Diego’s public transit system includes MTS trolleys, buses, and the COASTER commuter rail, but these services operate on fixed schedules and routes that don’t always serve major attractions like La Jolla Cove, Torrey Pines State Reserve, or Old Town after hours. In contrast, a private charter bus rental offers door-to-door service anywhere in San Diego County-from Gaslamp Quarter nightlife to SeaWorld and LEGOLAND-on your own custom timetable. You’ll avoid missed connections, last-mile hassles, and having to split your group across multiple vehicles or transfers. Charter buses are faster and more reliable than relying on public transportation.
