Know Before You Pay
Get your reservation locked in right online through the national booking platform by putting down a deposit at checkout, with your remaining trip balance due in full before your departure date. Once you pay with any major payment method online, a dedicated confirmation department will call you directly to verify every pickup, drop-off, and stop on your itinerary!
What Affects Your Price
Rather than calling five local companies one by one, you can compare how these six key pricing factors impact your St. George trip in one quick 30-second search! See how everything from vehicle size to your exact route along I-15 shapes your final rate.
Hit the road through Washington County in the exact vehicle that fits your headcount and budget! A 56-passenger charter bus with an onboard restroom and undercarriage luggage bays for a team trip to Greater Zion Stadium costs more than a compact 20-passenger minibus or a sprinter van with a driver. You can also compare party buses for 15 to 50 passengers loaded with LED lighting and wraparound seating. Because Charter
View instant online quotes tailored to how long and how far you’re traveling! Short local transfers between St. George hotels and the Dixie Convention Center are typically billed by the hour with a standard hourly minimum. Meanwhile, full-day excursions to Snow Canyon State Park or long-distance charter bus rentals up I-15 to Salt Lake City are priced by the day or total mileage.
Charter
With one form, you can compare pricing whether you’re departing from downtown St. George, nearby Hurricane, Ivins, or Washington, or scheduling a late-night weekend pickup. Weekend evenings and routes requiring deadhead mileage from outside your immediate pickup zone will naturally carry slightly higher rates than mid-week daytime shuttles.
No matter where your Southern Utah itinerary takes you, outside travel fees are kept completely separate from your base quote so you never overpay. If your route includes oversized vehicle parking at Sand Hollow State Park, commercial entry permits at Zion National Park, or highway tolls on out-of-state road trips to Las Vegas, your group covers those exact costs directly. That means 100% transparent pricing from start to finish!
If you book a multi-day trip across Utah to Bryce Canyon or Lake Powell, you’ll need to provide a private 3-star or better hotel room for your driver. Trips exceeding daily driving limits may also require a second relief driver.
Ways to Save
Ride on a weekday. Weekday hourly rates in the table start below weekend rates for most buses, and Sunday through Thursday typically run the lowest rates.
Fill the seats you pay for. A bigger bus costs more per hour but less per person: a full 56-passenger charter bus starts under $4 per person, per hour.
Book early. Booking early gives you the widest choice of buses for your date.
Keep your pickups together. Every extra pickup adds time on the clock, so one meeting spot keeps the hours, and the price, down.

Renting a 15- to 35-passenger minibus or a sprinter van is generally more affordable than booking a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach! However, if you have a large group heading to St. George Regional Airport (SGU) or a tournament at the Canyons Softball Complex, one 56-passenger charter bus often works out to the lowest cost per person.
You can book hourly, one-way, round-trip, multi-stop, full-day, and multi-day packages built around YOUR schedule! Whether you need St. George wedding shuttles out to Ivins, school field trip buses to the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site, or airport transfers, there's a package in the network ready for it. You can even book one bus or an entire fleet for the very same day when last-minute plans pop up! Check out all our group transportation services to see what fits your itinerary.
