Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rentals in Clovis

FAQS

Clovis Coach Bus Service has one of the largest fleets in California, so we can help you book nearly any type of bus you need. Our fleet includes 15-35 passenger minibuses from top builders like Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, and Tiffany Coach Builders—perfect for small group transportation around Old Town Clovis or shuttling wedding guests to Wolf Lakes Park. We also offer 40-56 passenger charter buses from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and Temsa, which are ideal for long-distance trips to Yosemite or Disneyland. If you’re looking to party, choose a 10-50 passenger party bus built by Krystal, Grech Motors, Tiffany, LGE Coachworks, or Executive Coach Builders—these come loaded with hardwood floors, wraparound seating, color-changing LED lights, multiple flat-screen TVs, Bluetooth sound systems, and wet bars. For smaller groups, we have 10-15 passenger sprinter vans available in limo, executive, and standard configurations. And if you need an affordable option for local shuttles, school field trips, or athletic team transportation, we can provide a classic yellow school bus that seats up to 47 adults or 52 children. With so many options, we can find the perfect vehicle for your itinerary, group size, and budget.

The price of a charter bus rental in Clovis depends on several factors, including the type of bus, the length of your trip, how many passengers you have, and what amenities you want. In general, you can expect to pay between $145 and $550 per hour for a full-size charter bus, $150 to $450 per hour for a minibus, $180 to $520 per hour for a party bus, and $160 to $450 per hour for a sprinter van. Daily rates range from $1,520 to $5,000+ depending on the vehicle and mileage. For example, a 56-passenger MCI coach with restrooms, WiFi, and power outlets will cost more than a basic 25-passenger minibus with standard seating. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call our team at 559-599-4740 or use our online tool—we’ll ask about your itinerary, group size, and preferences, then give you an instant price estimate with no hidden fees.

Several factors influence the cost of renting a bus in Clovis: the type of vehicle (minibus, charter bus, party bus, sprinter van, or school bus), the duration of your trip (hourly, daily, or multi-day), the distance traveled (local vs. long-distance), and the time of year. Peak season for Central Valley travel is spring and fall, when demand is highest for school field trips, weddings, and sports tournaments—so prices may be higher during those months. Additional amenities like onboard restrooms, leather seats, or custom lighting can also affect the rate. Finally, large events like the Clovis Rodeo or Fresno State football games may require extra coordination or staging, which can impact pricing. To get the most accurate quote, provide as much detail as possible about your itinerary and preferences.

Our fleet offers a wide range of amenities to keep your group comfortable and entertained on the road. Full-size charter buses come equipped with reclining seats, individual reading lights, overhead storage racks, luggage bays, climate control, free WiFi, power outlets or USB ports at every seat, multiple flat-screen TVs, DVD players, PA systems, and onboard restrooms. Minibuses feature similar amenities in a smaller package, though not all models have restrooms. Party buses are designed for fun, with hardwood floors, wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lights, mirrored ceilings, Bluetooth-enabled sound systems, big-screen TVs, wet bars with coolers, and tinted windows for privacy. Sprinter vans offer comfortable seating, WiFi, and optional TV monitors. If you have specific requests—like ADA-accessible features, extra luggage space, or premium finishes—just let us know and we’ll match you with the right vehicle.

We recommend booking your bus as early as possible, especially if you’re planning a trip during peak season (spring and fall) or around major events like the Clovis Rodeo, Fresno Fair, or graduation season. For the best selection and pricing, try to reserve your bus at least 3-6 months in advance. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests with as little as a few days’ notice—just give us a call and we’ll do our best to get you a solution. The more lead time you give us, the more options you’ll have.

Absolutely! We have a great selection of party buses in Clovis ranging from 10 to 50 passengers, built by top manufacturers like Grech Motors, Tiffany, Krystal, LGE Coachworks, and Executive Coach Builders. These buses are perfect for celebrating birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, prom nights, or just a fun night out with friends. Features include hardwood floors, wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lighting, mirrored ceilings, multiple flat-screen TVs, Bluetooth sound systems, wet bars with coolers, and tinted windows for privacy. You can stand up, dance, and move around while the bus is in motion—something you can’t do in a regular limo or SUV. Popular destinations include downtown Fresno’s Tower District, breweries along the Clovis Beer Trail, concerts at Save Mart Center, or even a day trip to wineries in Madera or Paso Robles. If you want to keep the party going between stops, this is the way to do it.

The main difference is size and capacity. Minibuses seat 15-35 passengers and are ideal for short-distance trips, shuttle services, or small groups. They’re easier to maneuver in city traffic and can access tighter spaces than a full-size coach. Charter buses (also known as motorcoaches) seat 40-56 passengers and are built for long-distance travel, with more storage, larger restrooms, and premium amenities like reclining seats, individual reading lights, and multiple video monitors. Both types of buses offer WiFi, power outlets, and climate control, but a charter bus is the better choice for trips over 2 hours or groups with lots of luggage.

Yes, we regularly provide transportation for multi-day trips to destinations across California and beyond. Whether you’re organizing a school tour to Sacramento, a corporate retreat in Lake Tahoe, or a family reunion in Disneyland, we can customize a package to fit your schedule and budget. The bus will stay with your group for the duration of the trip, providing local transportation at your destination and returning you safely to Clovis at the end. If your itinerary includes overnight stays in different cities, we’ll work with you to plan the most efficient route and ensure compliance with all regulations. Multi-day rentals are priced based on total mileage, number of days, and any special requirements you may have.
