Charter Bus Prices in Richmond

How much does a charter bus cost in Richmond? Charter bus pricing in Richmond, California, depends on your mileage, the size of the vehicle, and the season.

As a general rule, a full-size motorcoach will cost $150 to over $400 per hour, or $1,200-$3,000+ per day depending on bus size (18-56+ passengers), demand, and trip duration. You can avoid extra fees by planning around major events and booking your bus at least a month in advance.
