The main factors that affect the price of a bus rental are the size and type of vehicle, the duration of the rental, the mileage, the pickup and drop-off locations, the time of year, and the level of demand. For example, renting a 56-passenger charter bus for a weekend trip to Santa Fe will cost more than renting a 25-passenger minibus for a local shuttle in Rio Rancho. Other factors that can influence the price include tolls, parking fees, and special requests like ADA-accessible features or premium amenities.
