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

Medford Minibus Company offers a wide range of bus sizes and types to fit any group or budget. Our most popular options include:

• 56-passenger charter bus: $197-$519 per hour, $1,600-$3,800 per day, $5.00-$8.00 per mile
• 25-passenger minibus: $165-$428 per hour, $1,300-$3,200 per day, $4.00-$7.00 per mile
• 20-passenger minibus: $157-$414 per hour, $1,300-$3,100 per day, $4.00-$7.00 per mile

These rates are averages and may vary based on your specific trip details. For example, a round-trip charter from Medford to Crater Lake National Park will cost more than a local shuttle between downtown hotels and Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport (MFR).

Several key factors impact the total cost of your charter bus rental in Medford. The biggest one is the type and size of vehicle you choose. Full-size, 56-passenger charter buses generally cost more than smaller minibuses because they offer more seating, storage space, and amenities like restrooms and luggage bays. If you’re traveling with a large group—like a South Medford High School sports team heading to a tournament in Eugene or Portland—a bigger bus may be more cost-effective per person than booking multiple smaller vehicles.

Trip duration and distance also play a major role in pricing. Local trips within Medford city limits—such as shuttling wedding guests between venues like EdenVale Winery, RoxyAnn Winery, and the Rogue Valley Country Club—are usually billed by the hour with a minimum of 4-5 hours. Longer journeys outside Jackson County (for example, a day trip to Ashland’s Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Grants Pass for rafting on the Rogue River, or a weekend excursion to Crater Lake National Park) may be charged by the day or by the mile. Multi-day itineraries that include overnight stays will increase the total cost since you’ll need to cover lodging for the driver(s).

Seasonal demand affects rates too. Spring and summer are peak months due to school field trips, graduations at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, and outdoor events like the Britt Music & Arts Festival in Jacksonville. Booking during these busy times can be more expensive than scheduling your trip in the fall or winter when there’s less competition for vehicles.

Your pickup and drop-off locations matter as well. If your charter starts or ends far outside our main service area—such as a pickup in Klamath Falls or Yreka, California—you might incur additional charges to cover “deadhead” miles traveled without passengers. Extra services like requesting a bus with premium features (WiFi, power outlets, leather seats), making multiple stops at places like Lithia Motors headquarters, Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center, or Medford Railroad Park, or arranging continuous shuttles for large-scale events at the Medford Armory or Seven Feathers Casino Resort in Canyonville can also impact the final quote.

Finally, plan to budget for tolls (if traveling north toward Portland via I-5), parking fees at destinations like Crater Lake or downtown Ashland, and an optional tip for your driver (typically 10-20% of the base fare). Most quotes do not include meals or lodging for the driver on overnight trips, so those will be added to your total.
