Several factors can influence the cost of your bus rental, including the time of year, the length of your trip, and the type of bus you choose. Peak season in Texas is typically from March to June and September to December, when demand is highest for weddings, school trips, and football games. Longer trips that require overnight stays will be more expensive than local charters. Larger buses with premium amenities like restrooms, TVs, and leather seats will cost more than smaller, standard models. Additional fees may apply for tolls, parking, and cleaning.

Alcohol is permitted for passengers of legal drinking age, but glass containers are discouraged for safety reasons. Please drink responsibly and be respectful of other riders.

Charter bus parking is available at several locations around Tyler, including the Rose Garden Center, Harvey Convention Center, Broadway Square Mall, and Faulkner Park.
