Pricing depends on several factors, and it’s not always as simple as asking, “How many people are coming and when do we want to travel?” While these questions are important, there are others to think about too. Each of your trip’s specifics will influence final pricing.
Trip Distance
How far are you going? How much time will it take? Will your journey include just Pasadena, or are you headed further, to LA, Hollywood, Anaheim, or even another part of California? If your route includes more mileage, you can expect to pay a premium.

Time of Year
The time of year you book your travel influences how much it will cost, as bus companies are busiest during peak travel months. If your travels include prom, homecoming, a graduation, or a large holiday gathering, expect to pay more due to increased demand. The most expensive times of year to book group travel are spring and summer, while the least expensive times are winter and fall.

Day of the Week
When do you want to travel? If you’re looking to go out on a Friday or Saturday night, you might have to pay more than during a weekday. Many popular activities, like weddings and concerts, happen during weekends too. The demand is highest then.
Time of Day
Just like how airlines and rideshare apps charge more during rush hour, peak traffic times will also raise how much you have to pay for a party bus too. You can cut costs down by being flexible and leaving during non-peak times if possible.
Demand
Demand is all about how many people are trying to book transport. The lower the demand, the lesser the cost. This includes major events like conventions and festivals. When demand is high, prices rise.
Type of Bus
Do you need a flashy party bus with an onboard bar or just a simple shuttle bus to get you to the airport? The number of amenities and the type of vehicle can also influence price. More amenities can add up.
Duration
How long do you need the bus for? Are you driving from downtown Pasadena to Universal Studios Hollywood for one day or is your journey a long weekend trip in California? Duration is probably the most influential pricing factor. If traveling across state lines or multiple cities over several days, you can expect daily, multi-day, or per mile rental rates instead of hourly rates.
Number of Passengers
Are you inviting 20 of your closest friends or the entire wedding party of 100+ plus guests? You’ll need a different vehicle size depending on your number of passengers. For bigger groups, a full-size 56-passenger charter bus would likely be the most affordable choice – especially when compared to the cost of several smaller shuttles.
Cost Saving Tips To Consider
You don’t have to break the bank to enjoy an epic event or a multi-day excursion in Southern California. Save money with just a few budget planning tips. For instance, traveling during less popular times or being flexible about what type of vehicle you choose can keep costs down. Here are a few additional planning tips:
- Travel during the “off-season.”
- Get a bus that’s the right size for your group to maximize savings per person.
- Have a detailed itinerary with every stop to prevent additional mileage charges.
- Book early, especially for spring and summer seasons.
- Pay for tolls or parking permits as they occur rather than leaving it up to the bus company.
