Arlington Heights bus rental prices depend on several factors: the size and type of vehicle, length of your trip, time of year, and how far in advance you book. You can expect to pay between $145-$550+ per hour for a charter bus, $150-$450+ per hour for a minibus, $180-$520+ per hour for a party bus, and $160-$450+ per hour for a sprinter van. Daily rates range from $1,520 to $5,000+ depending on the vehicle. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call our team at 224-526-9010 with your trip details—we’ll give you an instant price in under 30 seconds!
The main factors that affect your bus rental price are: vehicle size (larger buses cost more), trip duration (multi-day trips are pricier), mileage (long-distance travel adds to the total), time of year (spring/summer is peak season), and how early you book (last-minute rentals may be higher). Additional amenities like onboard restrooms, TVs, or extra luggage space can also impact the cost. For example, renting a 56-passenger coach for a weekend wedding at Metropolis Ballroom will cost more than booking a 20-passenger minibus for a weekday corporate shuttle between downtown Arlington Heights and the Arlington Park Metra station.

We provide transportation for every type of event and group in Arlington Heights: wedding shuttles to local venues like Metropolis Ballroom or Rolling Green Country Club; corporate commuter routes between office parks and Metra stations; school field trips to Chicago museums or Brookfield Zoo; sports team travel to tournaments across the Midwest; private parties heading to downtown Chicago nightlife; and airport transfers to O’Hare or Midway.

We recommend booking your Arlington Heights bus rental at least 3-6 months in advance, especially if you’re traveling during peak season (April-June for proms/weddings, September-November for sports). This gives you the best selection of vehicles and the lowest rates. For major events like Lollapalooza, Taste of Chicago, or Soldier Field concerts, reserve your bus as soon as you know the date—these weekends sell out fast. If you have a last-minute request, we can usually get you a bus with 1-2 days’ notice, but options may be limited and prices higher.

When you request a quote, you’ll receive images of the exact buses available for your dates—inside and out—so you can compare layouts and features.

Charter buses can pick up and drop off passengers at most public locations in Arlington Heights, including hotels, schools, churches, and business parks.

For longer-term parking, consider using the Arlington Park Metra lot or coordinating with your venue’s management team. When traveling into Chicago, be aware that downtown has strict regulations—buses must use approved loading zones and may need permits for curbside stops near attractions like Millennium Park or Navy Pier.
