Frequently Asked Questions About Charter Bus Rentals in Great Falls

A charter bus rental in Great Falls typically costs between $1,600–$3,800+ per day or $197–$519+ per hour, depending on the size of the vehicle, length of trip, and other factors. Minibuses generally run $1,500–$2,500 per day, while full-size 56-passenger buses are $2,200–$3,800+ per day. You’ll get an exact price when you call our team with your trip details—including passenger count, itinerary, and desired amenities—and once you receive your quote, you can lock in your reservation with a signed contract and deposit.

Several key factors influence the final cost of your Great Falls bus rental: the type and size of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size charter bus), number of passengers, trip duration (hours or days), total mileage, number of days required, time of year (peak season demand), and any special amenities requested (like WiFi, power outlets, or restrooms). Multi-day trips that require overnight hotel accommodations for the driver will also impact pricing, as will deadhead fees if the bus must travel empty to your starting location. For example, a round-trip from Great Falls to Missoula will be priced differently than a local shuttle within Cascade County due to distance and service time.

To receive a quote from Great Falls Coach Bus Service, simply call our 24/7 reservations team at 406-836-6380 with your trip details, including pickup location, destination, travel dates, passenger count, and any specific requests. You can also use our online form to submit your information, and one of our representatives will contact you quickly with pricing. Once you provide your itinerary, we’ll generate an instant, all-inclusive quote tailored to your exact needs so you know exactly what you’ll pay before you book.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the bus and driver, fuel, tolls, and any applicable taxes. It does not include gratuity for the driver (typically 10–20%), parking fees at venues, or hotel accommodations for the driver on multi-day trips—these are additional expenses you’ll need to budget for separately. Once you receive your quote, you can review all terms and conditions before signing your contract and paying the required deposit to secure your reservation.

You should book your Great Falls bus rental at least 4–6 weeks in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rates, especially if you’re traveling during peak seasons like summer, holidays, or around major events such as college graduations and sporting events. Buses are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, and last-minute bookings may face limited availability or higher prices. Once you have your trip details finalized, securing your reservation early will guarantee the vehicle you want at a predictable cost.

Great Falls Coach Bus Service offers 18-, 20-, 25-, and 56-passenger buses in Great Falls, so you can easily find the perfect vehicle for groups of any size.
