The cost to rent a party bus in Elgin ranges from $170 to $400+ per hour on weekdays, $190 to $500+ per hour on weekends, $1,800 to $3,800+ per day, and $6.00 – $9.95 per mile depending on the size of the vehicle, length of the rental, and exact itinerary. Smaller 15- 20 passenger party buses start around $170-$250 per hour while larger 30-40 passenger models are $250-$400+ per hour.

Several factors influence the total price of a party bus rental, including the size of the bus, the duration of the trip, the distance traveled, and the time of year. Larger buses with more amenities cost more than smaller or mid-size models. Longer trips that require the bus to stay with your group for multiple hours or make multiple stops will be more expensive than a simple point-to-point transfer.

Peak season rates apply during prom and wedding season (April-June), major sporting events, concerts, and holidays like New Year’s Eve or St. Patrick’s Day. If your trip requires traveling into downtown Chicago or another high-traffic area, additional fees may apply for tolls, parking, or staging.
