Here are four real-world examples of recent charter bus quotes for trips starting in or around Costa Mesa:

Example #1: A technology company in Costa Mesa is sending their sales department to a two-day conference in San Francisco for professional development. The company needs a charter bus with at least 55 seats to transport the employees and their luggage to the event. Their driver will also transport them between the hotel and the venue each morning and evening. The technology company received a quote for $4,600 for their two-day charter bus rental, and they plan to tip their driver 15%. Final cost including gratuity: $5,290

Example #2: Last summer, a high school baseball team in San Diego requested a shuttle rental to the playoffs in Los Angeles. With 17 players, four coaches, and an extensive amount of equipment and luggage to bring to the tournament, the team settled on a coach bus rental with a seating capacity of 50. The head coach received a quote for $2,700 and tipped the driver 10% at the end of the trip. Final cost including gratuity: $2,970

Example #3: An OC Marathon relay team booked a minibus for race-day transportation between the start line at Fashion Island and the finish festival at the OC Fair ∓ Event Center. Their 18-passenger minibus ran a 6-hour loop and cost $2,100 total, with an additional $250 cleaning fee due to excessive mud tracked onboard.

Example #4: A wedding party reserved a 25-passenger minibus to shuttle guests between a ceremony at Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes and a reception at a private estate in Costa Mesa. The 8-hour rental was billed hourly at $210/hour, totaling $1,680. They paid a separate $100 parking fee charged by the chapel.

Charter bus pricing in Costa Mesa is influenced by vehicle size (number of seats), trip duration (hours or days), total mileage, time of year (peak vs. off-peak), and current demand. Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees, driver accommodations for overnight trips, and optional amenities. Large events like the OC Fair, Pacific Airshow, or Angels/Ducks games can increase rates due to higher demand and traffic congestion. Local venues such as the OC Fair ∓ Event Center, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and nearby beaches also impact pricing based on accessibility and scheduling.

You should book your charter bus at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to get the best selection and pricing. If your trip falls during a busy time—like spring break, summer vacation, or around major events like the OC Fair—it’s smart to reserve even earlier, ideally 2–3 months ahead. Last-minute bookings are possible if vehicles are still available, but you’ll have fewer options and may pay higher rates. Once you know your date and rough headcount, lock in your reservation early; you can often adjust final details later.
