Several key factors influence the price of your charter bus rental in San Luis Obispo:

• Travel Dates: Peak demand periods—such as Cal Poly move-in weekend, SLO Pride Parade, SLO International Film Festival, or major campus events—can increase prices due to limited availability.
• Trip Duration: Longer trips with more hours or days on the road will generally cost more than short, local transfers.
• Passenger Count: Larger groups require bigger vehicles, which come at a higher base rate but offer better per-person value.
• Pickup Location: If your trip starts outside of downtown SLO or requires deadhead miles (mileage without passengers), this will affect your total cost.
• Vehicle Type: Full-size charter buses seat up to 56 passengers and include amenities like restrooms and luggage bays, while minibuses hold 18–35 passengers with fewer amenities but a lower price point.
• Itinerary Complexity: Multiple stops, overnight layovers, or custom routing (e.g., wine country tours, Hearst Castle excursions) may add to the final price.
