Bus Rentals in Meridian, Idaho

A charter bus is a large vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public buses with fixed routes, charter buses follow your itinerary—whether it’s shuttling a wedding party to Still Water Hollow, taking a youth group to Roaring Springs, or moving corporate teams between offices in The Village at Meridian. Charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and include amenities like cushioned seats, overhead storage, climate control, and onboard restrooms. They’re used by schools, churches, businesses, sports teams, and event planners who need reliable group travel anywhere in Idaho.

Charter Bus Company Meridian offers one of the largest fleets in Idaho, with minibuses (18–35 seats), full-size charter buses (40–56 seats), and specialty vehicles like entertainer coaches or sprinter vans. We provide nameplate brands such as Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, Temsa, Blue Bird, Thomas Built, IC Bus, Collins, Starcraft, Grech, Diamond, Turtle Top, ElDorado, Champion, Goshen, Berkshire, Forest River, and more. Whether you’re hauling a baseball team to Settlers Park or running a daily employee shuttle for Scentsy headquarters, we have the exact size and floor plan you need—with options for Wi-Fi, power outlets, TV screens, leather seats, or extra luggage space.

Charter bus pricing depends on trip length, bus size, time of year, and amenity package—but most local rentals average $1,200–$2,400 per day. Short-distance shuttles within Ada County may be quoted hourly ($150–$250/hr, 4-hour minimum), while overnight trips to Twin Falls or Sun Valley are priced by mileage or flat daily rate. Peak season surcharges apply during summer events like Boise Music Festival or BSU football games. Get an instant estimate by calling our office with your headcount, itinerary, and special requests—we’ll lock in a transparent all-inclusive rate.

The main factors are total trip mileage, number of service days, vehicle type/capacity, and optional upgrades like Wi-Fi or DVD monitors. Large 54-passenger coaches cost more than 25-seat minibuses but have lower per-person rates for big groups. Weekend charters or last-minute bookings may carry premiums due to high demand. Extra expenses such as driver hotel rooms (required for overnight trips), tolls on Highway 55, or parking permits at Expo Idaho are not included and must be arranged separately. Seasonal fluctuations occur around major holidays and back-to-school periods when fleet availability is tight.

Booking is simple: call our reservation line at 986-276-9990, provide trip details (date, pickup/drop-off addresses, passenger count), choose a bus size, and confirm the quote with a deposit. We’ll send you a contract outlining all terms and remaining balance due before departure. Last-minute changes can be accommodated if vehicles are available. For recurring shuttles or complex itineraries, assign a single point of contact to streamline communication. Once reserved, your bus is guaranteed—even during peak seasons like Eagle Fun Days or Canyon County Fair.

Standard amenities include reclining cloth seats, individual reading lights, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, powerful A/C, and PA system. Most full-size coaches have one or two flat-screen TVs, DVD/CD player, USB charging ports, and a restroom at the rear. Premium models feature high-back reclining seats, armrests, footrests, Wi-Fi hotspot, 110V electrical outlets, Bluetooth audio, and custom branding options. ADA-accessible lifts are available upon request. Refreshment coolers, lavatory service, and extended baggage capacity can be added for long-distance charters to Spokane or Salt Lake City.

We serve school field trips to the Idaho State Capitol, church retreats at Cathedral of the Rockies, corporate commuter shuttles for St. Luke’s Health System, wedding transportation to Chateau des Fleurs, youth sports teams traveling to tournaments at Meridian Speedway, senior citizen outings from Touchmark at Meadow Lake Village, band/orchestra tours, political campaign rallies, parade floats, film production crew moves, and emergency evacuation support during wildfires or power outages. Any organization needing efficient point-to-point mobility relies on our expertise and customer service.

Our coverage area includes all of Ada County (Boise, Eagle, Kuna, Star), Canyon County (Nampa, Caldwell, Middleton), Gem County (Emmett), Payette, Ontario OR, Mountain Home, McCall, Cascade, Horseshoe Bend, Garden City, and rural zones like Hidden Springs or Avimor. We regularly dispatch buses to regional hubs such as Twin Falls, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, Lewiston, Coeur d’Alene, and out-of-state destinations in Oregon, Washington, Utah, Nevada, Montana, and Wyoming. No job is too short or too far—we go wherever clients need us 24/7/365.

Contact us by phone at 986-276-9990 or fill out the online form with your trip specifics: date(s), origin/destination, group size, and any special requirements. Quotes are free, fast, and valid for a limited time based on current fleet inventory. Comparing multiple options is encouraged—we beat most competitors on price, quality, and flexibility. Repeat customers and large-volume accounts qualify for discounted rates and priority scheduling during blackout periods.

Charter buses require designated loading zones and oversized vehicle stalls typically 40–45 feet long. Popular drop-off points include Boise Airport Ground Transportation Center, Downtown Main Street bus bays, hotel conference entrances, school gymnasium loops, and stadium lots. Advance coordination with venue managers is essential to avoid citations or towing. For multi-day charters, arrange secure overnight storage at a fenced lot or leave the bus at a park-and-ride location. Driver contact info will be provided for real-time updates on arrival/departure status.

Quotes cover base rental fee, driver wages, fuel, routine maintenance, standard amenities, and administrative overhead. Gratuity is optional but appreciated for exceptional service (industry norm is 10%). Exclusions are road tolls, bridge fees, event-specific parking charges, hotel accommodations for driver if trip exceeds legal hours of operation, meals/per diem, and damage caused by passengers. Insurance certificate and registration documents supplied upon request. Custom packages available for extended contracts or special events requiring standby/reserve units.

Match the bus size to your headcount plus a buffer for last-minute additions—better to have empty seats than leave someone behind. Prioritize amenities based on trip duration: Wi-Fi and power for student laptops, restroom for journeys over 90 minutes, reclining seats for overnight travel. Budget constraints may dictate selecting an older model without frills versus a brand-new luxury coach. Accessibility needs (wheelchair lift, priority seating) must be specified upfront. Luggage volume matters for sports teams with equipment bags or bands hauling instruments. Reliability and reputation trump rock-bottom pricing—choose a company with decades of experience and positive reviews.
