Several factors influence the cost of renting a charter bus in Brownsville, including the type of bus (minibus vs. full-size coach), number of passengers, length and duration of the trip, time of year, and current demand.

You should book your bus as soon as you know your trip details! Availability is always limited, and vehicles sell out fast during peak times like spring break, summer vacation, and major events such as Charro Days, the Latin Jazz Festival, and the Commemorative Air Force Airshow. We recommend reserving at least 4–6 weeks in advance—or even earlier if your trip falls between April and June, when demand is highest due to school field trips, graduations, and local festivals. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have open vehicles, but you’ll save money and lock in the best selection by planning ahead.

Your quote includes the base rental price, mileage, and driver pay. Additional expenses such as tolls, driver accommodations (hotel and meals for overnight trips), cleaning fees, and parking passes are not included and will be billed separately. For example, parking passes at local stadiums like Sams Memorial Stadium may cost around $30–$50 per vehicle per event, depending on the venue and event size. Please check with your reservation specialist for specific details related to your trip.

Once you’re ready to confirm your reservation, you can book your bus by calling our reservations team at 956-303-0400 or using our online quote tool.
