Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Hemet, California

A charter bus is a large motorcoach rented by individuals, businesses, schools, or organizations to transport groups of people together on a custom schedule. Unlike public transit or fixed-route shuttles, charter buses operate exclusively for your group’s itinerary—whether it’s a day trip to Diamond Valley Lake, a wedding shuttle to Soboba Casino Resort, or a weeklong tour across Southern California. Charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and include amenities like cushioned reclining seats, overhead luggage racks, climate control, and onboard restrooms. Smaller options like minibuses (20–35 seats) are also available for short-distance shuttles around Hemet High School, Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre, or local church events.

We offer a full fleet of vehicles including 56-passenger charter buses, 25- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 15- to 20-passenger sprinter vans. Each type comes from trusted manufacturers like Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, Temsa, Grech Motors, Starcraft, or Executive Coach Builders and includes standard features such as cushioned seats, overhead luggage racks, reading lights, and strong air conditioning. Larger models have undercarriage storage bays for coolers or band equipment. Premium amenities—Wi-Fi, power outlets, DVD monitors, USB charging ports, leather upholstery, hardwood-style floors, or onboard restrooms—are available upon request when booking.

Charter bus pricing depends on vehicle size, trip distance, duration, and time of year. For most trips within Riverside County, expect rates between $1,100 and $2,500 per day for a full-size coach, $800 to $1,600 per day for a minibus, or $400 to $700 per day for a sprinter van. Short local shuttles may be billed hourly (typically $150–$250/hour with a four-hour minimum), while overnight excursions to Las Vegas or San Diego use flat daily rates.

Main price factors include total mileage, trip length, vehicle type, and seasonal demand. Longer trips—like Hemet to Disneyland or Palm Springs—cost more than short loops between Seven Hills Golf Club and downtown restaurants. Larger buses with premium amenities are pricier than basic minibuses. Peak periods such as spring break, summer camps, or fall sports season may see higher rates due to limited availability. Additional charges can apply for driver hotel rooms on multi-day itineraries, tolls on express lanes, or extended standby hours at remote venues like Simpson Park trailheads.

Booking is simple: call our office at 760-841-2880 or fill out the online quote form with your trip details. Provide the exact number of passengers, preferred pickup time and location, each destination stop, return schedule, and any special requests for amenities. We’ll send you a personalized estimate within minutes. Review the options, choose the best fit for your group, then sign the contract and submit a deposit to confirm. The remaining balance is due before departure. Our agents are available 24/7 to assist with last-minute changes or questions.

Standard amenities include high-back reclining seats, individual reading lights, overhead parcel shelves, powerful HVAC climate control, and PA system for announcements. Most full-size coaches have three flat-screen TV monitors, DVD/CD player, AM/FM radio, and lavatory restroom at the rear. Free Wi-Fi hotspot and 110V power outlets at every row come standard on many models. Optional upgrades—depending on manufacturer—are USB charging ports, leatherette upholstery, wood-look flooring, fold-down tray tables, cup holders, window shades, and extra-large underfloor luggage compartments.

We serve school field trips (elementary, middle, high school, college), youth sports teams (soccer, baseball, basketball, cheer), church retreats, corporate employee shuttles, wedding guest transportation, senior citizen outings, summer camps, band/orchestra tours, volunteer organizations, political rallies, parade floats, film production crew moves, and emergency evacuation support. Regular clients include Hemet Unified School District, Mt. San Jacinto College, Valley-Wide Recreation, local Little League chapters, and area hospitals arranging staff commutes from Murrieta or Menifee.

Call our reservation hotline at 760-841-2880 anytime day or night. Be ready to answer a few quick questions: total number of riders, exact street address for pickup, list of all planned stops with times, date(s) of travel, and desired return drop-off point. If you need special features like ADA wheelchair lift, extra Wi-Fi bandwidth, or custom branding on exterior panels, mention that upfront. You’ll receive a firm price quote immediately. Quotes are valid for seven days but subject to change based on availability until booked.

Popular loading zones include the curb lane outside Hemet Valley Mall (near Panera Bread), designated bus loop at Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre, rear lot of Tahquitz High School, and main entrance circle at Soboba Casino Resort. For long-term parking, use oversized vehicle spaces at Diamond Valley Lake Marina, Simpson Park trailhead lot, or Valley-Wide Sports Center on Esplanade Avenue. Downtown restaurants may require temporary double-parking on Florida Avenue—coordinate with dispatch for smooth staging. Overnight storage available at secure yards off State Street south of Stetson Avenue.

Your quote covers the base rental fee for the bus, driver’s wages, fuel for the entire route, and standard amenities listed in the contract. It does NOT include incidental expenses like tolls on 91 Express Lanes, paid parking fees at stadiums or concert venues, gratuity for driver (optional but appreciated), meals or lodging for driver on overnight trips, or damage caused by passengers. Any extra charges incurred during the trip will be billed separately after completion. Gratuity is not required but always appreciated for exceptional service.

Match the vehicle size to your headcount: 15–20 people use a sprinter van, 21–35 need a minibus, 36–56 require a full charter bus. Consider trip length—long journeys benefit from reclining seats, restroom, and Wi-Fi. Budget-conscious groups can skip luxury options and request oldest available model. Sports teams hauling coolers or gear bags should ask for maximum luggage space. Weddings and corporate events often prefer newer coaches with leather seats and video screens. If anyone uses a wheelchair, reserve an ADA-accessible unit at no extra cost.
