Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rentals in Waukesha

Choose from 15- to 35-passenger minibuses by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, and Tiffany Coach Builders—perfect for shuttles to Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE), corporate events at the Waukesha County Expo Center, or wedding transportation between downtown Waukesha and Lake Country venues. For larger groups, we have 40- to 56-passenger charter buses from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and Setra, each equipped with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, restrooms, and reclining seats—ideal for long-distance trips to Lambeau Field, Chicago, or the Wisconsin Dells. We also provide party buses (10 to 50 passengers) built by Krystal, Grech, Tiffany, LGE Coachworks, and Executive Coach Builders; sprinter vans (10 to 15 passengers); and school buses for local school field trips and athletic team transport.

Bus rental pricing depends on several factors, including the type of vehicle, trip distance, duration, and time of year. In general, you can expect to pay $145–$550+ per hour or $1,520–$5,000+ per day for a full-size charter bus, $150–$450+ per hour or $1,520–$3,465+ per day for a minibus, $180–$520+ per hour for a party bus, and $160–$450+ per hour for a sprinter van. School bus rentals are typically the most affordable option.

Several variables influence your total cost, including the size and type of bus (minibuses are less expensive than full-size coaches), the length of your trip (local vs. long-distance), how many days you need the vehicle, and whether you’re traveling during peak season (spring and summer are busiest for weddings, graduations, and festivals like Summerfest or State Fair). Additional amenities such as onboard restrooms, extra luggage space, or premium entertainment systems may also affect pricing. For multi-day trips, you’ll pay more than for a single-day charter. To get the best rate, book early and provide as much detail as possible about your itinerary.
