The cost of renting a shuttle bus in Clearwater typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500+ per day or $185–$375+ per hour depending on the size of the vehicle, length of trip, and time of year. Larger 56-passenger buses generally fall on the higher end of that range, while smaller 18-, 20- and 25-passenger minibuses are more affordable. The best way to get an accurate price is to call our team with your exact itinerary—we’ll quickly calculate an all-inclusive quote tailored to your trip.

Several factors influence the final price of your Clearwater bus rental, including the size of the vehicle, number of passengers, total mileage, duration of the trip, and whether you’re traveling during peak season (spring and summer). Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and hotel accommodations for the driver (for multi-day trips) may also apply.
