Tacoma shuttle bus rental prices are affected by several key factors: the type and size of vehicle you choose (18-, 20-, 25-, or 56-passenger bus), the length of your trip (both in time and mileage), the pickup and drop-off locations, the time of year (peak demand seasons can increase rates), and the availability of vehicles at the time of booking. Additional amenities or special requests may also impact the final cost. Because every trip is different, pricing is customized based on your exact itinerary and needs.

You can get a quote from Tacoma Shuttle Bus Rentals by calling our 24/7 reservations team at 253-541-0670 or using the online quote form on our website. Provide details about your trip—including pickup location, destination, number of passengers, and travel dates—and we’ll quickly generate a personalized estimate. For the most accurate pricing, please have your complete itinerary ready when you contact us.

Your quote includes the base rental price of the vehicle, driver’s fee, fuel, and any tolls or parking fees incurred during the trip. Additional expenses such as driver gratuity (usually 10–20%) and lodging for the driver on multi-day trips are not included and should be budgeted separately. We’ll break down all costs upfront so you know exactly what to expect before you book.

You should book your Tacoma bus rental at least four to six weeks in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates. During busy periods—such as spring and summer wedding season, major events like graduations or festivals, and holidays—demand increases significantly, and vehicles can sell out quickly. If you’re traveling during one of these peak times, it’s wise to reserve your bus even earlier. Last-minute bookings may face limited availability and higher prices, so planning ahead will save you money and give you more options.
