Charter bus pricing is based on several factors: the type and size of vehicle (minibus, full-size coach, etc.), the length of your trip (hours, days, or mileage), pickup location, destination, and any additional services or special requests. Local transfers within Lawrence and the University of Kansas campus are often billed hourly, while longer trips to places like Kansas City, Topeka, or Wichita are priced by the day or by total mileage. Peak demand times and last-minute bookings may also affect rates.

Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your reservation. This deposit is typically due at the time of booking and will be applied toward your total balance. The remaining balance must be paid in full before your trip departs. Specific payment terms will be outlined in your contract. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and other forms of electronic payment for your convenience.

The final payment for your charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. Exact payment deadlines will be specified in your contract. If you book close to your departure date, you may be required to pay the full amount upfront. Please ensure all payments are completed on time to avoid any disruptions to your service. Contact our billing department if you have questions about your payment schedule.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least 6 to 9 months in advance—especially if your trip falls during a busy season (like spring graduations, fall sports, or summer events). Large events such as KU basketball games, university graduations, and downtown festivals can cause vehicles to sell out quickly. Last-minute bookings are possible but availability may be limited and rates may be higher. Once you have your trip details, contact us right away to lock in the best selection and pricing.

Please coordinate with your reservation specialist to ensure proper accommodations are secured.
