FAQS

The cost of a charter bus rental in New Braunfels typically ranges from $197–$519 per hour or $1,600 – $3,800+ per day depending on the size of the vehicle, length of trip, and time of year.

Charter bus prices in New Braunfels are affected by the type and size of vehicle you choose, the total mileage or duration of your trip, the number of days you need the bus, the time of year (with higher demand and rates during spring and summer), and any additional expenses like tolls, parking, or driver accommodations. Local events like Wurstfest, Texas State University move-in weekend, or big concerts at Whitewater Amphitheater can also impact availability and pricing due to increased demand. Longer trips to major cities like Houston or Dallas will cost more than local shuttles between downtown New Braunfels, Gruene Hall, and Schlitterbahn.

Your quote includes the bus, a driver, fuel, and any tolls or mileage fees for the duration of your trip. It does not include driver gratuity (typically 10-20%), parking fees, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. We’ll break down all costs upfront so there are no surprises.

You should book your New Braunfels bus rental at least 4–6 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during the busy spring or summer season when major events like Wurstfest, Crawfish Festival, or river tubing excursions on the Guadalupe and Comal rivers create high demand. The region’s peak season runs from March through August, so locking in your reservation early ensures you get the best selection of vehicles and avoids last-minute price increases or sold-out dates. If you’re traveling during the off-season (November–February), you may have more flexibility—but it’s always smart to secure your bus as soon as your schedule is set.

This facility includes a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and ventilation system—perfect for long-distance trips or groups traveling with children. However, our smaller minibuses (18, 20, and 25-passenger models) do not have onboard restrooms due to space limitations.
