Several key factors affect the price of renting a charter bus in Lincoln: the type and size of vehicle (minibus vs. 56-passenger coach), the total mileage and duration of your trip, the number of days the vehicle is needed, current supply and demand around your travel dates, and any special amenities requested. Additional charges may include tolls, parking fees, a hotel room for the driver on multi-day trips, and a gratuity. Peak seasons—such as Husker football weekends, college move-in/move-out dates, and spring event periods—can increase rates due to high demand.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you must provide a hotel room for the driver. The hotel should be a comfortable, private room (not shared) in a reputable establishment such as Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn, or similar. This ensures the driver gets adequate rest to comply with federal hours-of-service regulations. You are not required to cover meal expenses, but the driver must have access to restroom facilities and basic amenities. If you do not arrange a room, Lincoln Coach Bus Service will add the cost to your invoice. For multi-day trips exceeding daily driving limits, a second driver may be needed at additional cost.
