Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of renting a shuttle bus in Fort Smith typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,000+ per day or $200–$450+ per hour, depending on the size of the vehicle, length of trip, and time of year. Multi-day trips are usually billed by the day, while local trips may be billed hourly with a 4–5-hour minimum. Additional expenses such as driver gratuity, tolls, parking fees, and hotel/lodging for the driver (if required) are not included in the base rate.

Several factors can affect your final price including the time of year, how long you need the bus, the size of the bus, and your pick up location. If you book during the busy season, which is April, May, and June, you will likely pay more. Your trip will either be charged per hour, per day, or per mile depending on the details of your trip. Larger buses will cost more than smaller buses. And if your pickup location is far from where the bus is based out of, you may incur an additional charge called deadhead.
