Fort Smith Charter Bus Rentals from Charter Bus Company Fort Smith

Charter bus rentals in Fort Smith typically cost between $1,200 and $3,500 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, the length of the trip, and any additional amenities requested. Local trips are often billed by the hour (with a five-hour minimum), while longer or out-of-town routes are priced by mileage or day. For example, a one-day local rental might run $1,400–$2,600, while a multi-day trip to Little Rock or Tulsa could exceed $4,000.

We calculate pricing based on the type of bus, number of hours or days needed, mileage, time of year, and any special requests for amenities. Additional factors include whether your trip requires the driver to stay overnight, tolls, parking fees, and if the bus needs to return empty after dropping off your group. Peak seasons, such as spring and fall, may also affect rates due to higher demand.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to book your reservation. This deposit is typically due at the time of booking and is applied toward the total cost of your rental. The remaining balance must be paid before the date of your trip. We accept various forms of payment, including credit cards, checks, and ACH transfers.

The final payment for your Fort Smith bus rental is due before the start of your trip. Specific payment deadlines will be outlined in your contract, but full payment is generally required several days to weeks prior to departure. This ensures all funds are processed and clears any outstanding balances ahead of your scheduled service. Late payments may result in additional fees or cancellation of the reservation.

Yes, standard driver gratuity is included in your quote. However, if you feel your driver provided exceptional service, you are welcome to offer an additional tip. Most groups tip drivers 10–20% of the total rental cost. Tips can be given directly to the driver in cash at the end of the trip or added to your final payment.
