FAQS
The cost of renting a shuttle bus in Joliet typically ranges from $155 to $495+ per hour depending on the size of the vehicle, availability, and your exact itinerary. Smaller vehicles like 18-passenger minibuses start around $185–$265 per hour, while larger 25-passenger and 56-passenger buses range from $295–$495+ per hour. You can also be charged per day ($2,200–$6,500+) or per mile ($6.50–$11.50+), depending on your trip details.
Several factors influence the price of your shuttle bus rental: the type and size of vehicle you choose (18-, 20-, 25-, or 56-passenger), the length of your trip (mileage and duration), the time of year (peak season vs. off-season), and the pickup location. Multi-day and long-distance trips will cost more than local, single-day rentals. Additional expenses like tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations are not included in the base rate.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the vehicle and driver for the duration of your trip. It does NOT include additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or driver accommodations (hotel room and meals) if required. You are responsible for covering these extra costs. Gratuity for the driver is optional but recommended (standard is 10%–20%).
We recommend booking your shuttle bus at least four to six months in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rates. Demand is especially high during peak seasons such as spring (weddings, proms), summer (festivals, sporting events), and fall (school trips, corporate events). Last-minute bookings may result in limited vehicle options and higher prices.
