The final price of your shuttle bus rental will depend on the time of year, the size of the bus you rent, how far you’re traveling, and how long you need the bus for. Groups traveling during Fresno’s busy season—from late April through June—should expect higher prices due to increased demand from school field trips, graduations, sports tournaments, and summer events like the Big Hat Days festival in Clovis or the Fresno Grizzlies baseball season. The number of days you need the bus, whether you require overnight accommodations for the driver, and any additional amenities or special requests can also impact the total cost.

We recommend booking your Fresno shuttle bus at least six months in advance—especially if your trip falls between April and June, which is peak season due to school events, graduations, and summer festivals.

Major events like the Clovis Rodeo or Fresno State home games can cause regional shortages, so the earlier you reserve, the better.
