Frequently Asked Questions About Charter Bus Rentals in Novi

The cost of renting a charter bus in Novi typically ranges from $1,600–$3,800 per day or $197–$519 per hour for a standard 56-passenger vehicle, with exact pricing depending on the size of the bus, length of trip, and time of year. Smaller minibuses (18- to 25-passenger) generally run $1,300–$2,500 per day or $175–$420 per hour. Final rates are determined by your exact itinerary, including mileage, number of days, and any special requests.

Several things impact the final price of your Novi bus rental: the type and size of vehicle you choose (minibus vs. full-size charter bus), how many hours or days you'll need it, total mileage if you're doing a multi-day or out-of-town trip, what amenities you request (like WiFi, power outlets, or custom branding), the exact pickup location (Novi vs. Detroit vs. another suburb), and how far in advance you book. Demand also spikes during busy seasons like spring break, major conventions at Suburban Collection Showplace, or big sports weekends, which can affect availability and cost.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the bus, driver pay, fuel, and any tolls or parking fees incurred during the trip. It does not include gratuity for the driver (typically 10–20%) or lodging expenses if an overnight stay is required.

It’s best to book your bus at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to ensure availability and lock in the best rate. If you’re traveling during a busy season—like spring break, summer wedding season, or around a major event at Suburban Collection Showplace—you may need to book 2–3 months in advance.
