Coach Bus Rentals in Oakland, California

Oakland Coach Bus Service offers one of the largest fleets in California, with everything from 15- to 35-passenger minibuses by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, and Tiffany Coach Builders, to 40- to 56-passenger charter buses by MCI, Van Hool, and Prevost, plus party buses, sprinter vans, and school buses. We have modern vehicles built in 2022, 2023, and 2024, all equipped with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, restrooms, luggage storage, and more. Whether you’re planning a wedding at Dunsmuir House, a field trip to Chabot Space & Science Center, or a corporate shuttle between Jack London Square and Downtown Oakland, we have the right bus for your group.

Charter bus rental prices in Oakland depend on several factors, including the size of the bus, the length of your trip, the time of year, and how far you’re traveling. For example, a 56-passenger coach bus costs $145 to $550+ per hour, a 25-passenger minibus runs $150 to $450+ per hour, and an executive sprinter van starts at $160 to $400+ per hour. Daily rates range from $1,520 to $5,000+ depending on the vehicle, while party buses average $200 to $520+ per hour on weekends. Call our team anytime to get an instant quote tailored to your exact itinerary.

The biggest factors affecting your price are the type of bus you choose, the total mileage and duration of your trip, and the dates you need service. Peak season (April–June for graduations, September–December for holiday parties) tends to be more expensive, as does booking last-minute or requesting premium features like onboard restrooms, hardwood floors, or PA systems. One-way trips to San Francisco or multi-day tours to Los Angeles will cost more than local shuttles between Lake Merritt and Uptown. Parking fees, tolls (like the Bay Bridge), and driver hotel rooms are extra and not included in your base quote.

All of our Oakland charter buses come with comfortable reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage racks, and either underfloor luggage bays (on full-size coaches) or rear cargo space (on minibuses and sprinters). Most vehicles have free WiFi, USB/power outlets at every row, flat-screen monitors, and Bluetooth-enabled sound systems. Larger buses include clean restrooms with sinks, while party buses feature LED lighting, wraparound seating, and coolers. ADA-accessible lifts are available by request. If you need tables for card games, extra PA mics for tour guides, or tinted windows for privacy, just ask when you book.

Booking a bus is simple: just call our reservation team at 341-234-8344 or fill out the online form with your trip details (date, pickup/drop-off locations, headcount, and any special requests). We’ll send you a personalized quote in less than 30 seconds. Once you’re ready to confirm, we’ll lock in your bus and send you a contract to sign electronically. You can pay by credit card, ACH, or business check. Our staff is available 24/7/365 to answer questions, update your itinerary, or dispatch a replacement vehicle if needed.

We provide transportation for every type of event, including weddings at the Cathedral of Christ the Light, school field trips to Oakland Zoo, corporate shuttles between BART stations and office parks, sports team travel to Oracle Park or Levi’s Stadium, concert transfers to Fox Theater, church retreats in the East Bay hills, and private tours of Napa wineries or Muir Woods. During festival season, we run continuous loops for Art + Soul, First Fridays, and Warriors watch parties. If you’re organizing a protest march, union rally, or campaign canvass, we’ll get your group there on time and together.

Charter buses can load and unload passengers at designated curb zones near major venues like Oakland Arena, Paramount Theatre, and Children’s Fairyland, but long-term parking is limited downtown. Popular staging areas include the West Oakland BART lot, Middle Harbor Shoreline Park, and the Coliseum’s Hegenberger Road entrance. For pickups in Chinatown or Grand Lake, plan to board quickly to avoid blocking traffic. If your itinerary includes stops in San Francisco, be aware that bus idling is restricted and advance permits may be required for drop-offs near Market Street or Fisherman’s Wharf. Our team will help you plan the most efficient routing based on your schedule.

No, tolls and parking fees are not included in your base quote. Any bridge crossings (such as the Bay Bridge, San Mateo Bridge, or Richmond-San Rafael Bridge) will be billed separately at the current posted rates. If your bus needs to park in a paid lot—like at Jack London Square, the Oakland Museum garage, or a hotel valet—you are responsible for covering those charges directly. We recommend budgeting extra for unforeseen expenses, especially if your route takes you through multiple jurisdictions or requires overnight stays outside Alameda County.

The fastest way to get a quote is to call our office at 341-234-8344 and speak with a live agent. We’ll ask you a few questions about your trip (date, pickup address, destination, group size, and return time) and generate a custom price estimate in less than a minute. You can also use the online form on our website to submit your information and receive a response by email or text. Quotes are free, no-obligation, and valid for up to 72 hours. If you have multiple itineraries or need help choosing the right vehicle, we’re happy to walk you through the options step by step.
