FAQS

The cost of renting a shuttle bus in Bakersfield typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,000+ per day depending on the size of the bus, length of your trip, and time of year.

Several factors affect the final price of your bus rental, including the time of year, the number of passengers, the number of days you'll need the bus, and any additional travel fees. Bakersfield is home to several major universities like California State University Bakersfield and Bakersfield College, which means that weekends and weekdays during the fall and spring semesters tend to be the busiest times of year for bus rentals. If you're traveling during these peak times, you may see higher rates due to increased demand. Other factors that can impact your total cost include whether you'll need to pay tolls or parking fees along your route, if your itinerary requires multiple drivers, and if you'll be traveling out of state.
