Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Brownsville

Charter bus rental prices in Brownsville typically range from $1,200 to $3,500 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, duration of the trip, and time of year. Local trips with minimal mileage may be billed hourly (usually 4- or 5-hour minimums), while longer-distance or multi-day rentals are charged by the mile or by the day. Peak seasons—spring and fall—can increase rates due to high demand from school, sports, and event groups.

Pricing is based on several factors: the type and size of bus (minibus, full-size motorcoach, etc.), length of the trip (hours or mileage), number of days, time of year, and any special requests like custom pickups or luxury amenities. Additional costs such as tolls, parking, and driver lodging are not included in the base rate and will be billed separately. Longer trips and larger vehicles naturally cost more.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your reservation. This deposit is typically due at the time of booking and is applied toward the total cost of your rental. The remaining balance must be paid in full before your trip departs. Deposits ensure that your vehicle is reserved exclusively for your group on the requested dates.

The final payment for your charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. Specific payment deadlines will be outlined in your contract, but full payment is generally required several days prior to departure. This ensures all funds are cleared and the trip can proceed without delays. Late payments may result in additional fees or cancellation of the reservation.

Yes! Driver gratuity is typically included in your quote as a standard percentage of the total rental cost. However, if you feel your driver provided exceptional service, you are welcome to offer an additional cash tip at the end of the trip. Gratuity is always appreciated and goes directly to the driver for their hard work.

We offer a wide range of buses in Brownsville, including 15-, 20-, 25-, and 28-passenger minibuses; 47-, 50-, 55-, and 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches; and several party buses and entertainer coaches for special events. Many models are available in multiple configurations from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, and Grech. If you need something smaller, we also have sprinter vans and executive mini-coaches.

Our charter buses can be equipped with reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, luggage bays, onboard restrooms, DVD players, flat-screen monitors, PA systems, Wi-Fi, and 110V/USB power outlets. Larger coaches typically include most of these amenities standard, while minibuses offer a subset based on the specific model. Premium coaches may feature leather upholstery, hardwood-style flooring, and optional beverage stations.

It’s best to book your Brownsville charter bus 6 to 9 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak seasons (spring and fall) or coincides with major events like school graduations, sports tournaments, or festival weekends. Booking early gives you the best selection of vehicles and more competitive pricing. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be limited in availability and subject to higher rates.

Start by calling our team at 956-496-0750 or requesting a quote online. Provide details about your trip—dates, pickup and drop-off locations, group size, and any special requirements. We’ll send you a personalized quote with vehicle options. Once you choose a bus, you’ll review and sign the contract, pay the deposit, and your reservation will be confirmed. Final payment is due before the trip.

Yes, for overnight or multi-day trips, the client is responsible for providing and paying for the driver’s hotel accommodations. The hotel should be safe, clean, and located near the group’s lodging or main event venue. Most companies require that the driver have a private room. For one-day trips without an overnight stay, no accommodation is necessary.

No, your quote covers only the bus rental and driver compensation. Additional expenses such as bridge and highway tolls, parking fees at venues or hotels, and entrance fees to certain locations are not included and must be paid separately by the client. These charges can be settled directly during the trip or billed afterward based on receipts.

Charter buses can be parked at large venues with designated bus or oversized vehicle parking areas, such as the Brownsville Sports Park, Payne Arena, school campuses, and major hotel lots. Downtown Brownsville offers limited street parking for buses, but there are several surface lots that can accommodate larger vehicles. For extended parking, contact the Brownsville Convention & Visitors Bureau or local event organizers for recommendations on secure lots. Always confirm parking availability in advance, as some areas may have restrictions or require permits.

Brownsville Metro (B-Metro) operates fixed-route buses serving key corridors like International Boulevard, Central Boulevard, and Boca Chica Boulevard, with connections to Texas Southmost College and downtown. While affordable, B-Metro lacks direct service to outlying destinations, operates on fixed schedules, and offers limited baggage space. A private charter bus provides door-to-door service anywhere in the region, operates on your custom schedule, keeps groups together, and offers superior comfort with reclining seats, A/C, and optional Wi-Fi—ideal for schools, businesses, and event groups needing reliable, cohesive transportation beyond the reach of public transit.

We also serve general aviation facilities like the Brownsville Air Cargo Terminal and South Texas International Airport at Edinburg. Whether you need a pickup directly from the terminal or a drop-off for a departing flight, we can accommodate any size group with luggage.
