Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rentals in Indio
FAQS
We offer one of the largest and newest fleets in Indio, so you can find exactly what you need for your group. Choose from 15- to 35-passenger minibuses by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, and Tiffany Coach Builders—great for shuttles between Coachella festival grounds or corporate events at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. For larger groups, we have 40- to 56-passenger coach buses from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and Temsa, each with premium amenities like restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats—perfect for long-distance trips to Los Angeles or San Diego. We also offer party buses (10–50 passengers), sprinter vans (10–15 passengers), and school buses for budget-friendly local transportation.
Indio bus rental prices depend on several factors, including the type of bus, trip distance, duration, and time of year. In general, you can expect to pay between $145 and $550+ per hour for a charter bus, $150 to $450+ per hour for a minibus, $180 to $520+ per hour for a party bus, and $160 to $450+ per hour for a sprinter van. Daily rates range from $1,520 to $5,000+ for a charter bus, $1,520 to $3,465+ for a minibus, and $1,000 to $3,900+ for a party bus or sprinter van. Mileage rates are typically $6.00 to $9.95 per mile for a charter bus and $4.00 to $9.95 per mile for a minibus.
The main factors that affect your quote are the size and type of bus, how far you’re traveling, how many days you need the bus, and when you’re renting. For example, a 56-passenger coach bus with a restroom will cost more than a 20-passenger minibus without one. Longer trips—like an overnight run to San Francisco—cost more than local shuttles between Indio and Palm Springs. Spring is peak season due to Coachella and Stagecoach, so rates are higher then. Extra features like onboard WiFi or premium audio/video systems may also increase the price.

Indio is generally bus-friendly, but it’s important to plan ahead for parking and loading zones, especially during major events. For Coachella and Stagecoach, all buses must use the designated shuttle lot at Avenue 49 and Monroe Street—no drop-offs at the main entrance. Downtown Indio has limited street parking for oversized vehicles, but the Riverside County Fairgrounds offers ample space for both short-term and overnight parking. Hotels along Highway 111 and Jackson Street usually allow bus access with advance notice. If you’re visiting a private venue or residential area, check with the property manager about clearance heights and turnaround space.
Your quote covers the full use of the bus for the duration of your trip, plus standard amenities like reclining seats, climate control, and onboard entertainment systems. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges—everything will be clearly itemized before you sign. Optional upgrades such as premium WiFi, additional TV monitors, or custom interior lighting can be added for an extra cost. If your itinerary requires tolls, parking permits, or road-use taxes, we’ll either include them in the quote or advise you of the estimated amount so you can budget accordingly.
Absolutely! We specialize in multi-day charters for groups traveling long distances or following complex schedules. Whether you’re organizing a band tour with stops in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Las Vegas, or taking a youth group on a week-long camping trip to Joshua Tree and Big Bear, we’ll provide a dedicated bus that stays with you the entire time. Daily rates are more cost-effective than booking separate one-way trips, and you’ll have the flexibility to store luggage onboard between destinations. Just provide us with a detailed itinerary and we’ll handle the rest.

A minibus is a smaller vehicle that typically seats 15 to 35 passengers and is ideal for short-distance trips, shuttle services, or navigating narrow streets. Minibuses are easier to maneuver and park, but they have limited luggage space and fewer onboard amenities—usually no restroom, and only one or two TV monitors. A charter bus (also known as a motorcoach) is a full-size vehicle that holds 40 to 56 passengers and is designed for long-distance travel. Charter buses feature reclining seats, climate control, multiple video screens, a PA system, large underfloor baggage bays, and an onboard restroom at the rear of the cabin.
