Bus Rentals in Cathedral City, California

A charter bus is a private, large-capacity vehicle that groups rent for exclusive use to travel together on custom schedules. Unlike public transit or fixed-route shuttles, charter buses follow your itinerary—whether that’s shuttling wedding guests to The Pavilion at Cimarron Golf Resort, taking students on a field trip to the Palm Springs Air Museum, or carrying sports teams to away games across Riverside County. Each reservation includes only your group and driver, so you control pick-up points, departure times, and onboard amenities. It’s the most flexible way to move 15–55+ people anywhere in Southern California efficiently.

We have one of the most versatile fleets in Riverside County, with minibuses (18–35 seats), full-size charter buses (47–56 seats), and premium entertainer coaches for VIP tours. Every model comes from trusted brands like Prevost, Van Hool, Temsa, Grech, Starcraft, or Turtle Top, so you get reliable performance whether you’re booking a short shuttle between Agua Caliente Casino and Cathedral Canyon Country Club or an overnight trip to Disneyland. Need extra luggage space for band equipment or golf clubs? Want Wi-Fi, power outlets, or even custom branding? Just ask—we’ll match you with the perfect bus.

Charter bus pricing in Cathedral City varies based on trip length, bus size, and seasonal demand, but most quotes fall between $1,200 and $3,000+ for a single-day local rental. Short shuttles around downtown or to nearby resorts may be as low as $185/hour with a five-hour minimum, while weekend weddings or corporate retreats often run $2,000–$4,500 depending on mileage and wait time. Multi-day charters to Las Vegas, San Diego, or Los Angeles are billed by the day ($2,100–$3,600) plus driver hotel costs. Use our instant quote tool to get exact rates for your itinerary.

The main factors that determine your charter bus quote are total trip distance, duration, bus size, and timing. Longer routes—like airport transfers to Ontario International or field trips to Joshua Tree—cost more than short local loops. Larger vehicles with premium features command higher rates than basic minibuses. Peak dates around Coachella, Stagecoach, or major holidays may see surcharges due to high demand. Additional charges apply if you require overnight driver accommodations, special permits for restricted areas, or last-minute changes to the schedule. Get the best value by booking early and consolidating pick-up locations.

Most venues in Cathedral City have designated areas for bus drop-off and parking, but it’s important to confirm arrangements ahead of time. Large events at Agua Caliente Casino or Big League Dreams Sports Park may require special permits or staging instructions from security. Downtown locations near Mary Pickford Theatre have limited space, so plan for curbside loading on adjacent streets. Hotels typically allow buses to idle in rear lots during check-in. For extended layovers, identify a nearby open lot where the driver can wait comfortably. Always communicate exact addresses and contact persons to avoid delays.

Every quote includes exclusive use of the bus for your group, driver wages, fuel, standard amenities (A/C, seats, storage), and insurance coverage. Gratuity is optional but appreciated for excellent service. Tolls, parking fees, and entrance charges at attractions are not included and should be paid directly by the organizer. Overnight trips require you to provide a hotel room for the driver at your expense. Additional requests like bottled water, custom signage, or extra mileage beyond the original itinerary may incur nominal surcharges. There are never any surprise add-ons—what you see is what you pay.

Choose a bus based on your headcount, luggage needs, and budget. Minibuses seat 18–35 passengers and are ideal for small teams, church groups, or airport shuttles with minimal baggage. Standard charter buses accommodate 47–56 riders plus ample storage below for suitcases, coolers, or musical instruments. If you’re transporting large crowds, it’s often cheaper to book two smaller vehicles than one oversized coach. Consider trip length—long journeys benefit from reclining seats and restrooms. Factor in mobility issues; ADA-accessible units are available upon request. When in doubt, round up to ensure everyone has a spot.
