You’ll get an exact, all-inclusive price when you call our team with your trip details.
Several key factors determine the total cost of your Bismarck bus rental: the size and type of vehicle you select (minibus vs. full-size charter bus), the number of days or hours you need the vehicle, the total mileage if your trip includes out-of-town destinations, the time of year (peak demand periods like spring and summer can increase rates), and any special amenities requested (such as WiFi, power outlets, or upgraded seating). Multi-day trips requiring overnight stays will also include additional charges for driver lodging.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the vehicle, driver compensation, fuel, tolls, and taxes. Additional expenses such as parking fees, and hotel accommodations for the driver on multi-day trips are not included and must be arranged separately. We’ll break down all costs upfront so you know exactly what’s covered.
We recommend booking your bus at least four to six months in advance to secure the best availability and pricing, especially if your trip falls during peak travel seasons like spring (April–June) or around major events. Last-minute bookings are accepted if inventory allows, but reserving early ensures you get the exact vehicle you want at the lowest possible rate.
