Our Bus Rental Pricing As Of 2026

Charter Bus Prices in Tempe

Tempe charter bus rentals typically range from $150 to $450 per hour, with daily rates for 56-passenger motorcoaches falling between $1,200 and $3,200 depending on seasonality and local demand. For groups focusing on shorter local transfers between Tempe Town Lake and downtown Phoenix, 25-passenger minibuses often price between $125 and $350 per hour. Factors like the "Broadway Curve" construction on I-10 or massive influxes for the Cactus League Spring Training at Tempe Diablo Stadium can impact availability and pricing. We recommend booking at least 4 to 6 months in advance for peak periods like ASU Commencement or the Tempe Festival of the Arts to lock in the most competitive rates and ensure your preferred vehicle type is secured.

Because Tempe hosts major events like Ironman Arizona and Sun Devil football games, which attract over 50,000 attendees, price surges are common during high-traffic weekends. Your quote will always be transparent, including the driver’s gratuity, fuel, and insurance, with no hidden fees for navigating local corridors like Rio Salado Parkway. To receive a precise quote tailored to your headcount and specific stops at locations like the Brogan Center or the Tempe History Museum, use our online tool or call our local experts who understand the nuances of East Valley trip planning.
