Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to rent a bus in Tampa, Florida?

+

Most Tampa group trips fall between $1,350 and $3,800 per day, depending on the vehicle size and distance. For example, a local shuttle for a corporate event at the Tampa Convention Center will be priced differently than a long-distance trip to the Florida State Capitol. Minibuses and shuttle buses usually run $135–$475 per hour or $1,350–$3,650 per day. Full-size charter buses, like a 56-passenger Prevost, average $180–$485 per hour or $1,400–$3,800 per day. Sprinter vans and party buses are popular for smaller groups heading to Ybor City, with hourly rates starting at $135. Your exact price depends on your specific route, the duration of your trip, and the seasonality of events like Spring Training at Steinbrenner Field.

What amenities are available on each of our bus types in Tampa, Florida?

+

If you're traveling with a larger group or along a longer distance, such as a trip from the Westshore Business District to Miami, a full-size charter bus rental is best for you. Charter buses can comfortably seat up to 56 passengers and are best reserved for large-scale events like military transfers to MacDill Air Force Base, government outings to the Hillsborough County Courthouse, and large corporate events. Full-size charter bus rentals include onboard restrooms, spacious reclining seats with ample legroom, and massive undercarriage storage for large luggage or sports equipment for teams playing at Raymond James Stadium.

Minibuses are ideal for small- to medium-sized groups traveling around the Tampa Bay area. A minibus rental can accommodate up to 35 passengers and includes amenities like high-speed WiFi, power outlets for every seat, and overhead storage for day bags. Some minibus models also feature ADA-accessible options with wider aisles and wheelchair ramps. If you're looking for a compact yet comfortable transportation solution, a minibus rental is perfect for airport transfers at TPA, wedding shuttles between Le Meridien and The Orlo, and campus tours of the University of Tampa or USF.

What types of vehicles do you offer in Tampa, Florida?

+

Tampa Charter Bus offers a wide range of vehicles to fit any group size or budget. You can book anything from a 15-passenger executive sprinter van for VIP airport transfers at TPA to a fleet of 56-passenger motorcoaches for long-distance trips to the University of Florida in Gainesville. Our most popular options include minibuses for wedding shuttles and full-size charter buses for corporate groups attending conventions at the 600,000-square-foot Tampa Convention Center. Many vehicles feature premium leather seats, WiFi, individual power outlets, and flat-screen TVs with DVD players-just ask about availability when you call for your 30-second quote.

We work with your schedule and your budget to make sure you get the right vehicle for your next trip, whether it's a field trip to The Florida Aquarium or a sports team transfer to the ESPN Wide World of Sports. From recurring corporate shuttles in the Westshore area to family reunions at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, we'll make sure everyone arrives safely and on time. All our vehicles are late-model and maintained to the highest safety standards to ensure a smooth ride through "Malfunction Junction" and beyond.

What types of events & destinations do you frequently serve in Tampa, Florida?

+

Tampa Charter Bus provides transportation for school field trips to The Florida Aquarium (701 Channelside Drive, Tampa, FL 33602), ZooTampa at Lowry Park, and the Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI); corporate travel for conventions at the Tampa Convention Center and major conferences at Amalie Arena; campus tours of the University of Tampa near the historic Tampa Bay Hotel and the University of South Florida (USF) on E Fowler Ave; wedding transportation for ceremonies at iconic venues like Armature Works and the Tampa River Center; and sports team and fan travel to Raymond James Stadium, Amalie Arena, and the Yuengling Center. We also provide recurring hospital shuttles serving the 982-bed Tampa General Hospital on Davis Islands and St. Joseph's Hospital, cruise port transportation to the Port of Tampa Bay (Terminals 2, 3, and 6), and airport transfers to and from Tampa International Airport (TPA). No matter your destination, we'll make sure your group arrives comfortably and on time, even during peak traffic hours on the Selmon Expressway.

How far in advance should I book my Tampa, Florida bus rental?

+

Generally, it's best to book your Tampa charter bus at least 1 to 2 months in advance for standard trips. However, because Tampa traffic and demand can spike during massive events like the Gasparilla Pirate Fest (which draws 300,000+ people), Spring Training at Steinbrenner Field, or Buccaneers home games at Raymond James Stadium, we strongly recommend you secure your transportation 3 to 6 months ahead of time if your trip falls during the busy spring graduation season or the fall holiday rush. Booking early gives you the best selection of late-model vehicles and helps you avoid price increases that happen when local inventory sells out during major conventions at the Tampa Convention Center. This is especially important if you need a specific type of vehicle-like a high-capacity 56-passenger coach for a corporate shuttle or a sprinter van for a wedding at Le Meridien.

Call our team anytime 727-440-8450 to lock in your reservation and ensure your driver is booked and your route along I-275 is planned. We'll help you plan the perfect trip and make sure your group stays ahead of the Tampa transportation crunch, ensuring a seamless arrival at your destination.
