Fort Myers Charter Bus & Minibus Rental Prices: How Much Does a Fort Myers Bus Rental Cost?

Our prices vary depending on the type of bus and your itinerary. For example, a 56-passenger charter bus typically ranges from $197 to $519 per hour, $1,600 to $3,800 per day, or $5.00 to $8.00 per mile. A 25-passenger minibus usually falls between $165 and $428 per hour, $1,300 to $3,200 per day, or $4.00 to $7.00 per mile. If you need something smaller, a 20-passenger minibus is about $157 to $414 per hour, $1,300 to $3,100 per day, or $4.00 to $7.00 per mile, while an 18-passenger minibus runs $145 to $404 per hour, $1,300 to $3,000 per day, or $4.00 to $7.00 per mile. These are averages—your quote may differ based on when you travel and how long you’ll need the bus.

Several key factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Fort Myers. Timing is especially important—prices tend to be higher during peak seasons such as winter when snowbirds flock to Southwest Florida, and during spring break when families and college students travel to local beaches like Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, and Captiva Island. Major events such as Red Sox and Twins Spring Training at JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium, Edison Festival of Light parades, or large conferences at the Caloosa Sound Convention Center also increase demand and can raise rates. The type of bus you choose affects pricing as well. Full-size 56-passenger charter buses with amenities like onboard restrooms, WiFi, and power outlets typically cost more than smaller 18- to 25-passenger minibuses, which are ideal for quick shuttles between RSW airport, downtown hotels like Luminary Hotel & Co., and nearby attractions such as IMAG History & Science Center or Gulf Coast Town Center. The duration and distance of your trip matter too. Hourly rates work best for short, local routes—like wedding shuttles between venues along McGregor Boulevard or bar crawls in downtown Fort Myers—while daily or mileage-based pricing is better for longer excursions to Naples, Punta Gorda, Sarasota, or even overnight trips to Disney World or Universal Studios in Orlando. Additional expenses may include tolls on I-75 (Alligator Alley), parking fees at places like Lee Health’s Gulf Coast Medical Center or FGCU’s Alico Arena, and optional gratuity. If your itinerary requires overnight stays, you’ll need to provide lodging for your driver at hotels such as Crowne Plaza Bell Tower Shops or Hyatt Place Coconut Point. Last-minute bookings may result in higher prices, especially during busy periods.
