Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rentals in Mountain View

FAQS

Mountain View Coach Bus Service offers one of the largest and newest fleets in Mountain View, with vehicles for every group size and itinerary. You can book a 15-35 passenger minibus built by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, or Tiffany Coach Builders—perfect for tech company shuttles between downtown Mountain View, Palo Alto, and North Bayshore. For larger groups, choose a 40-56 passenger coach bus from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, or Setra with premium amenities like WiFi, power outlets, restrooms, and luggage bays—ideal for Stanford football charters or Google commuter routes. We also offer 10-50 passenger party buses from Krystal, Grech, Tiffany, LGE, and Executive Coach Builders, 10-15 passenger sprinter vans, and classic school buses for budget-friendly transport to Shoreline Amphitheatre or Levi’s Stadium.

Bus rental prices in Mountain View depend on several factors, including vehicle type, trip distance, duration, and time of year. For example, you can expect to pay $145–$550+ per hour or $1,520–$5,000+ per day for a full-size charter bus, $150–$450+ per hour or $1,520–$3,465+ per day for a minibus, $180–$520+ per hour for a party bus, and $160–$450+ per hour for a sprinter van. Daily and hourly rates are available, and mileage-based pricing ranges from $4.00 to $9.95 per mile.

The main factors that affect your Mountain View bus rental price are the size and type of vehicle, the length and distance of your trip, and the time of year you’re traveling. Larger buses with more amenities cost more than smaller, basic models. Long-distance trips—like a round-trip from Mountain View to Sacramento—will be priced differently than local shuttle loops between Caltrain and Castro Street. Peak demand seasons, such as summer concert series at Shoreline Amphitheatre or college football Saturdays at Stanford, can also raise rates. Additional costs may include tolls (like on the Dumbarton Bridge), parking fees at destinations, and extra mileage for out-of-area drop-offs.

Charter bus parking in Mountain View is available at several locations, but it’s important to plan ahead—especially for large events or downtown destinations. Shoreline Amphitheatre has designated bus and oversized vehicle parking lots, though fees may apply during concerts or festivals. Downtown Mountain View offers limited street parking for buses, so it’s best to arrange drop-off and pick-up zones near Castro Street or the Caltrain station. For long-term parking, consider using nearby park-and-ride lots or coordinating with private venues that can accommodate oversized vehicles. Always check with your destination in advance to confirm parking availability and restrictions.

Every quote includes the bus itself, all standard amenities (WiFi, power outlets, TVs, restroom if applicable), mileage, and tolls for bridges like the Dumbarton or San Mateo. Parking fees at venues (such as Shoreline Amphitheatre or Stanford Stadium) are not included and should be arranged separately. There are never any hidden fees—what you see is what you pay. If your itinerary changes after booking, just let us know and we’ll update your contract and pricing accordingly.
