Types of San Antonio Party Buses & Charter Buses

The 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the move for a wedding party heading from a Pearl District hotel to a ceremony at San Fernando Cathedral, or a corporate VIP group shuttling between a convention at the Henry B. González Convention Center and dinner in the King William Historic District. Expect premium leather, tinted windows, and individual climate control. Rates run $200–$325/hour on weekdays and $225–$350/hour on weekends — or $1,550–$3,150 for a full day.

Need to move a small group from SAT to a hotel on the River Walk without the coordination headache? The Sprinter Van Rental with Driver is a clean, comfortable pick for airport runs, executive transfers between downtown San Antonio office buildings, or shuttling a small bridal party between venues in Alamo Heights. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$275, weekend rates $225–$375, and per-day rates $1,400–$2,750.

A tight group heading to a Spurs game or a bachelorette night through the St. Mary's Strip bar district fits perfectly on a 15-passenger party bus. This size handles San Antonio's narrower downtown streets without trouble, which matters when you're threading between the River Walk bridges and the Alamo Plaza loading zones late on a Friday. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$350, weekend rates $250–$350, and per-day rates $1,400–$2,850.

The 18-passenger party bus is a popular pick for rehearsal dinner shuttles between a venue in Boerne and the reception site in downtown San Antonio, and equally well-suited for a group birthday night anchored at one of the Southtown arts district bars. Onboard amenities typically include a sound system, LED lighting, and wraparound seating. Weekday hourly rates run $275–$350, weekend rates $275–$400, and per-day rates $2,100–$2,600.

Twenty people headed to Six Flags Fiesta Texas or a brewery crawl hitting Freetail Brewing, Ranger Creek, and Branchline in a single afternoon — that's exactly where the 20-passenger party bus earns its keep. The group stays together from first stop to last, and there's no argument over who takes which car. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350, weekend rates $275–$350, and per-day rates $1,950–$2,800.

The 25-passenger party bus hits the sweet spot for mid-size San Antonio groups — big enough to handle a quinceañera court and immediate family, manageable enough to navigate the drop-off lanes at Frost Bank Center on a Spurs game night without taking up a full commercial loading block. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350, weekend rates $275–$375, and per-day rates $1,850–$2,900.

Corporate team-building outings, church group day trips to SeaWorld San Antonio, and prom groups from Northside ISD or SAISD all land comfortably on a 28-passenger party bus. It's large enough to feel like an event in itself while still fitting in standard commercial drop-off zones along Commerce Street and Alamo Street downtown. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350, weekend rates $275–$375, and per-day rates $2,150–$2,700.

Heading to the Alamodome for a Spurs playoff game or a college football bowl? A 30-passenger party bus handles that group size without splitting anyone into a second vehicle, and it drops your group steps from the venue on Market Street rather than in a remote surface lot on the east side of I-37. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$375, weekend rates $325–$425, and per-day rates $2,350–$3,050.

Large office shuttles for USAA or Valero Energy campus events, big family reunion day trips to Natural Bridge Caverns or Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels — the 40-passenger party bus is where the numbers start making obvious economic sense. Split forty people across ten rideshares on a Fiesta Saturday and watch the surge pricing hit. Book one bus instead.

Weekday hourly rates run $300–$350, weekend rates $325–$500, and per-day rates $2,300–$3,500.

A 50-passenger party bus is built for San Antonio's biggest group occasions — a massive Fiesta Oyster Bake tailgate, a multi-family reunion anchored at Morgan's Wonderland, or a large corporate group shuttling between the Grand Hyatt San Antonio and the Henry B. González Convention Center during a multi-day conference. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$450, weekend rates $325–$500, and per-day rates $2,150–$4,050.

The 15-35 passenger minibus is the practical workhorse for San Antonio groups that need real cargo space and a more upright, coach-style ride — think school field trips to the San Antonio Museum of Art, hotel block shuttles for a wedding at La Cantera Resort, or employee transfers between the South Texas Medical Center campuses. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$250, weekend rates $200–$275, and per-day rates $1,100–$2,150.

When the group is large, the haul is long, or both — a San Antonio charter bus is the answer. Undercarriage bays handle full luggage loads for trips up I-35 to Austin or down to Laredo, and onboard restrooms keep long drives on schedule without rest stop detours. The 40-56 passenger charter bus is also the standard pick for San Antonio school group transportation to destinations like the Lyndon B. Johnson Ranch in the Hill Country.

Weekday and weekend hourly rates both run $200–$350, and per-day rates run $1,350–$2,850. These ranges are planning estimates — call 210-571-7998 or fill out the quick form to get a pricing estimate for your date and itinerary in about a minute.
