We also have party buses (10-50 passengers), sprinter vans (10-15 passengers), and classic school buses for affordable, no-frills transportation. Whatever your group size or destination, we’ll match you with the right vehicle!

Several factors influence the cost of your bus rental: the type and size of vehicle, the length of your trip, how many miles you travel, and the time of year. Spring and summer are peak seasons in Idaho due to weddings, graduations, and tourism, so rates may be higher. Major events like Boise State football games, Treefort Music Fest, or large conferences can also impact availability and pricing. Additional amenities (like premium AV equipment or extra luggage space) may affect the quote as well. For the best rates, book early and provide detailed information about your route and schedule.

Meridian is very bus-friendly, with plenty of options for parking and loading/unloading. Popular spots like The Village at Meridian, Kleiner Park, and downtown Main Street have designated areas for oversized vehicles. For events at the Idaho Center in Nampa or Expo Idaho in Garden City, there are large lots specifically for charter buses. If you’re visiting a school, church, or corporate campus, we recommend contacting the facility in advance to arrange access. In downtown Boise, buses can stage along Front Street, Myrtle Street, or near Julia Davis Park. Our team can help you plan the best drop-off and pick-up points based on your itinerary.

Your quote covers the full use of the vehicle for the duration of your trip, plus all standard amenities onboard. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges—everything is spelled out upfront.
