Coach Bus Prices: How Much Does a Largo Coach Bus Rental Cost?

The average cost to rent a coach bus in Largo is $170 to $500+ per hour or $1,800 to $3,800+ per day. Minibuses are smaller and less expensive, with hourly rates starting at $150 and daily rates from $1,200 to $2,500. Party buses cost about the same as minibuses but can be more expensive if you want extra features like custom lighting or sound systems. Sprinter vans are the most affordable option, with rates from $125 per hour or $1,000 per day.

These prices are just averages—your exact quote will depend on your travel dates, itinerary, and vehicle type. For example, a 56-passenger coach bus for a full-day trip to Universal Studios Orlando will cost more than a 25-passenger minibus doing local hotel shuttles in Clearwater Beach.

Several key variables will determine the final price of your Largo bus rental. Here’s what goes into every quote:

• Travel Dates & Seasonality: Demand for charter buses is highest during peak seasons like spring break (March-April), summer vacation (June-August), and major holidays. Local events such as Clearwater Jazz Holiday, Gasparilla Pirate Festival in Tampa, or spring training games for the Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays also increase demand. Booking during these times may result in higher prices due to limited availability. Conversely, rates are typically lower during the fall and winter months when tourism slows down.
• Trip Distance & Duration: How far you travel and how long you need the bus are major pricing factors. Local trips within Pinellas County (Largo, Clearwater, St. Petersburg) are usually billed by the hour with a 4- or 5-hour minimum. Longer trips—such as a day trip to Walt Disney World or Busch Gardens Tampa Bay—are priced by the day. Multi-day charters that require overnight stays (e.g., a weekend in Miami or Key West) will cost more, especially if the bus has to remain with your group the entire time.
• Bus Type & Size: Larger vehicles like 56-passenger motorcoaches cost more than smaller minibuses or sprinter vans. Full-size coaches offer premium amenities such as restrooms, reclining seats, and luggage bays, making them ideal for long-distance travel to destinations like Orlando or Fort Lauderdale. Minibuses (20-35 passengers) are perfect for short trips around Largo or shuttle services between hotels and event venues. Party buses and sprinter vans are great for nightlife, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or small group outings to places like Ybor City or Downtown St. Pete.
• Itinerary Details: Extra stops, multiple pick-up/drop-off locations, or heavy traffic routes (like crossing the Howard Frankland Bridge during rush hour) can add to the total cost. Providing a detailed itinerary helps us give you the most accurate quote possible.
• Additional Fees: Tolls (like those on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge), parking permits (required at some Clearwater Beach lots or Raymond James Stadium), and driver accommodations for overnight trips are not included in the base rate. You’ll also want to budget for an optional driver gratuity (10-20% is standard).
• Advance Booking: The earlier you book, the better your chances of locking in a lower rate. Last-minute reservations—especially during busy seasons—may be subject to premium pricing due to limited fleet availability.
