Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Cincinnati

A charter bus rental in Cincinnati typically costs between $1,200 and $3,000 per day, or $150 to $300 per hour, depending on the size of the bus, duration of the trip, mileage, and time of year.

Charter bus pricing is based on several factors: the type and size of vehicle, distance traveled, duration of the rental (hourly, daily, or by mileage), pickup location, time of year, and any additional services or amenities requested. Longer trips, multi-day events, or routes requiring the bus to stay idle incur higher fees. Additional charges may include tolls, parking, driver lodging, and fuel surcharges.

Our Cincinnati charter buses come with a wide range of amenities to keep passengers comfortable and entertained. Standard features include reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, luggage bays, PA systems, and WiFi. Many buses also offer flat-screen TVs, DVD players, power outlets, USB ports, and onboard restrooms. Larger buses may have leather upholstery, tray tables, and Bluetooth sound systems. Minibuses and party buses can include LED lighting, beverage stations, and custom seating layouts. If you need something specific—like HDMI inputs, 110V outlets, or extra-large storage compartments—just ask when you request your quote. We’ll make sure you get a bus with all the amenities your group needs.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least six to nine months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak travel seasons such as spring (April–June) or fall (September–November). This is particularly important for large events like weddings, school trips, or corporate outings where specific dates and times are crucial. However, we understand that last-minute trips happen, and we can often accommodate bookings made just days or even hours before departure thanks to our extensive network of buses and drivers. The earlier you book, the better your chances of securing the exact vehicle and amenities you want at the best possible price. Once you have your trip details finalized—including dates, destination, and headcount—contact us right away to get a free quote and lock in your reservation.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel must have safe and secure parking for the bus and be within a reasonable distance of your group’s lodging. Most groups either book the room directly or reimburse the company for the cost. If you need help finding a hotel with bus parking, ask your reservation specialist—they can recommend options that fit your budget. For multi-day trips, the driver must have a minimum of 8 consecutive hours off-duty each day to comply with federal regulations. Failure to provide proper accommodations may result in service delays or additional charges.

No, your quote does not include tolls, parking fees, or other incidental expenses incurred during the trip. These additional costs are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid either in advance or at the time of service. Toll roads, bridge crossings, and airport access fees will be billed separately if applicable. Parking fees at hotels, event venues, or attractions are not included in the base rental price. Please budget accordingly and discuss any potential extra charges with your reservation specialist when booking your trip. A complete list of terms and conditions is available upon request.

Finding charter bus parking in Cincinnati is easier than you might think, but it does require some planning ahead—especially if your group is visiting popular destinations like downtown, Over-the-Rhine, or major event venues. Fortunately, Charter Bus Company Cincinnati has experience helping groups secure bus parking all over the city. Here are some of the best places to park a charter bus in Cincinnati:

Downtown Cincinnati Garages: Several downtown garages offer oversized vehicle parking, including the Fountain Square Garage, The Banks Garage, and Washington Park Garage. Contact the garage in advance to reserve space and confirm clearance heights.

Stadium Lots: Heading to a Bengals or Reds game? Pay-to-park surface lots near Paycor Stadium and Great American Ball Park accommodate charter buses on game days. Reserve your spot ahead of time through the team’s official parking partner.

Duke Energy Convention Center: The convention center offers designated bus zones on Elm Street and nearby surface lots for event drop-off and staging. Contact the facility to arrange parking during your event.

University of Cincinnati: Campus visitors can request bus parking in Lot 13 or other designated areas by contacting UC Parking Services. Be sure to obtain a permit before arrival.

Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden: The zoo provides bus parking in its main lot off Vine Street. Groups should register in advance to receive discounted parking rates.

Cincinnati Museum Center: Buses visiting Union Terminal can park in the surface lot adjacent to the museum after dropping passengers at the entrance.

If you’re unsure where to park, ask your Charter Bus Company Cincinnati representative for help. We can coordinate with local authorities, venue managers, and private lot operators to find a convenient and legal parking spot for your bus. Just provide your itinerary when you request a quote, and we’ll handle the rest.

Cincinnati’s public transit system is operated by the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) under the brand Metro. Metro operates more than 40 fixed bus routes across Hamilton County, including local routes serving neighborhoods like Avondale, Price Hill, and Oakley, as well as express routes connecting downtown Cincinnati to suburban communities such as Blue Ash, Forest Park, and Anderson Township. The system also includes the Cincinnati Bell Connector, a 3.6-mile streetcar loop serving downtown and Over-the-Rhine, and several Park & Ride lots in outlying areas. While Metro provides affordable and frequent service on major corridors, many parts of the region have limited or no transit coverage—especially outside the I-275 beltway. Transfers between routes can be time-consuming, and schedules may not align with your group’s itinerary. That’s why many organizations choose a private charter bus instead. With a charter bus, you get door-to-door service on your own schedule—no waiting for the next bus or missing connections. It’s the easiest way to move a large group around Greater Cincinnati.

Whether you’re flying out of CVG’s main terminal, arriving at a private FBO, or need curbside pickup at another regional airport, we’ll get your group to the terminal on time and without the hassle of parking or dragging luggage onto public transit.
