Several factors influence the cost of your bus rental, including the type of bus you choose, the length of your trip, and the time of year. Larger vehicles like 56-passenger charter buses generally cost more than smaller minibuses or sprinter vans. Peak travel seasons—such as spring (April-June) for graduations and weddings, or fall (September-November) for football games—can drive up prices due to higher demand. Additional factors include the total mileage, number of days, and any special requests like extra stops or premium amenities. For example, a weekend trip from Kansas City to St. Louis will cost more than a weekday shuttle between downtown and Overland Park. To get the most accurate rate, have your itinerary ready when you call us.

Kansas City has several designated areas for charter bus parking, but it’s important to plan ahead—especially for large events or downtown destinations. Popular spots like Union Station, Crown Center, and the Country Club Plaza offer limited bus parking, usually in surface lots or along specific streets. For Chiefs or Royals games, buses are assigned to dedicated sections in the Arrowhead and Kauffman Stadium lots. Downtown hotels may allow drop-offs at the entrance but require buses to park off-site during the event. If your itinerary includes multiple stops—such as museum visits or restaurant districts—let us know in advance so we can coordinate parking logistics and minimize walking distance for your group.
