Charter Bus Rentals Tempe, Arizona

The cost of a charter bus rental in Tempe typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 per day, but rates can be as low as $300–$500 for short local minibus trips or $4,000+ for multi-day, peak-season, or specialty-coach bookings. Pricing is usually hourly (for local trips), daily (for longer or multi-day itineraries), or by mileage (for one-way or out-of-state routes). Peak demand months (spring and fall), large events (ASU games, festival weeks), and last-minute bookings can raise rates significantly. Requesting extra amenities, needing multiple buses, or requiring special routing also affects your final price.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Tempe: the type and size of the bus (larger buses like 56-passenger motorcoaches cost more than 18- or 25-seat minibuses), the length and duration of the trip (longer distances and multi-day rentals increase the price), the time of year (rates are higher during peak seasons such as spring training, ASU events, and winter tourism), and the pickup/drop-off locations (local trips within Tempe are less expensive than those requiring travel to Phoenix, Scottsdale, or out-of-state destinations). Additional amenities (like Wi-Fi, DVD players, or luxury seating), tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging for overnight trips can also affect the final price.

Most charter buses in Tempe come standard with reclining cloth or vinyl seats, individual reading lights, strong air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays (on larger coaches), and a PA system for announcements. Minibuses typically seat 18–35 passengers and offer forward-facing seats, basic A/C, and a sound system that connects to devices via Bluetooth or AUX input. Full-size motorcoaches (40–56 passengers) add flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, free Wi-Fi (4G/5G cellular-based), 110V power outlets at each row, USB charging ports, and a full-size restroom at the rear of the cabin. Additional amenities may include leatherette or fabric upholstery, adjustable footrests, folding tray tables, and tinted windows with pull-down sunshades. Premium coaches can be equipped with hardwood-style flooring, LED accent lighting, individual climate controls, and forward-facing tables for four. Exterior luggage bays handle large items like sports equipment or band instruments. Many newer buses offer upgraded Wi-Fi, integrated streaming to seatback screens, and multiple 110V outlets per side. For groups with special requests, some coaches feature lounge-style seating, conference tables, or partial wrap graphics. ADA-accessible buses have wide aisles, slip-resistant flooring, and either a rear or mid-coach wheelchair lift.

Yes, most full-size charter buses (40–56 seats) have a restroom located at the rear of the coach. It’s a compact facility with a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and small sink or vanity. The restroom is designed for emergency or quick use while the bus is moving. Minibuses (18–35 seats) typically do not have a restroom due to space constraints. For longer trips on minibuses, your driver can schedule rest stops every 60–90 minutes at highway service plazas, fast-food restaurants, or gas stations with clean restroom facilities. On full-size coaches, the onboard restroom is available at all times, but groups should still plan occasional stops for fresh air and access to larger facilities.

Yes, nearly all modern charter buses have 110V power outlets located at each seating row. On full-size coaches, outlets are typically mounted between pairs of seats just above the floor, allowing passengers to plug in laptops, chargers, or other devices. Many buses also include USB-A or USB-C ports alongside the standard outlets for charging phones and tablets. Minibuses may have 1–2 outlets at the front or rear of the cabin, but newer models are increasingly equipped with outlets at every row. If your group requires a certain number of outlets or specific plug types, please mention this when booking so we can assign a coach that meets your needs.

Yes, most of our modern minibuses and full-size charter buses offer onboard Wi-Fi. This amenity is perfect for staying connected, catching up on emails, streaming music or videos, and sharing photos during your trip. The Wi-Fi is typically 4G/5G cellular-based, providing good coverage throughout the Phoenix metro area and along major highways. While the connection is strong enough for web browsing and social media, streaming HD video or participating in video calls may be limited by bandwidth. If reliable Wi-Fi is essential for your group, please request it when booking so we can assign a coach with the best available system.

Yes, full-size charter buses have ample luggage space with both undercarriage bays and overhead parcel racks. You can store large suitcases, sports equipment, or musical instruments below the main cabin, while smaller bags and backpacks can be kept above your seat. Minibuses offer overhead storage and limited rear cargo space, suitable for carry-on-sized items. If your group has extra luggage or bulky items, let us know in advance so we can accommodate everything comfortably.

Our fleet includes vehicles that can accommodate groups of almost any size. Minibuses seat 18, 20, or 25 passengers and are ideal for smaller groups or short-distance shuttles. Full-size charter buses can carry up to 56 passengers and are perfect for large groups, such as sports teams, school classes, or conference attendees. If you’re traveling with a very large group, we can arrange multiple buses to run together.

In Tempe, popular loading zones include the curbside area on East 5th Street outside the ASU Gammage Auditorium, the surface lot adjacent to the north entrance of the Tempe Center for the Arts off West Rio Salado Parkway, and designated bus bays in the south parking lot of the Diablo Stadium complex accessible from South Alameda Drive. Additional options include curbside loading on the south side of East Apache Boulevard near the Sun Devil Stadium main gate, the west end of the Mill Avenue District parking structure on South Ash Avenue, and prearranged spaces in the north lot of the Tempe Marketplace shopping center off North McClintock Drive. For hotel pickups, most larger properties along South Rural Road and West Broadway Road have dedicated bus zones; always confirm with the venue or facility manager in advance. Downtown curbside loading is allowed on selected blocks of East 7th Street and South Forest Avenue, provided the bus remains attended and does not block intersections or crosswalks. When using private lots, such as those at corporate campuses or event venues, obtain advance permission and coordinate arrival times to avoid conflicts with regular traffic or scheduled events.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2 to 6 months before your trip. Spring and fall are especially busy due to ASU events, sports tournaments, and conferences, so advance booking ensures vehicle availability and better rates. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer limited vehicle choices.
