You'll be matched with a Clearwater bus rental that has every feature you're looking for, from WiFi for school trips to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium—where over 1.2 million annual visitors come to see rescued marine life—to reclining seats and even ADA-accessible features like wheelchair lifts and widened aisles-all at a price that fits your budget.

Our logistics team handles the staging and routing so your passengers can utilize onboard power outlets and climate control during the 30-minute transfer from the barrier island hotels to the St. Petersburg College Clearwater Campus.

Our Bus Rental Pricing As Of 2026

Charter Bus Prices in Clearwater

Pricing for a charter bus rental in Clearwater depends on your exact itinerary, the size of the vehicle, and the time of year. As a general guideline, you can expect to pay $150 to over $400 per hour, or $1,200-$3,000+ per day depending on bus size (18-56+ passengers), demand, and trip duration. Full-size coaches (50-56 seats) typically cost $170-$500+ per hour, while 18-35 passenger minibuses range from $120-$450+ per hour. These rates are ideal for planning budgets for large-scale movements between the Clearwater Beach Marina and the downtown Cleveland Street District.

Because Clearwater is a popular destination, peak-season rates can be higher, especially if your trip overlaps with major events like Philadelphia Phillies spring training at BayCare Ballpark (8,500 capacity) or the Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival. The best way to get an accurate price is to call our team anytime 727-440-8450. One quick call gets you a transparent quote with a simple flat rate that includes your driver, fuel, insurance, and all taxes-no surprise fees. For groups staying at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort, we can provide a fixed-rate shuttle loop to Tampa International Airport (TPA) that bypasses the variable costs of individual rideshares during the heavy evening commute on the Howard Frankland Bridge.

During the busy spring break season, we help university groups travel safely between hotel clusters near Pier 60 and academic events at the St. Petersburg College Clearwater Campus. Our fleet is perfect for bachelorette parties heading to rooftop bars like Jimmy's Crows Nest or family reunions at Sand Key Park (1060 Gulf Blvd), where parking a caravan of cars is nearly impossible during the summer months.

How far in advance should I book my Clearwater, Florida bus rental?

+

We recommend booking your charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance of your trip date. This gives you the best chance of locking in lower rates and securing the exact vehicle you want, whether it's a 56-passenger motorcoach or a 25-passenger minibus, before peak-season demand drives up pricing. Clearwater, Florida sees a huge influx of visitors during spring break (March-April), summer vacation, and major local events like the Sugar Sand Festival and Phillies Spring Training at BayCare Ballpark, which means local inventory across Pinellas County books up fast. If you're planning a school field trip during the busy spring season or a holiday event at Calvary Church, securing your transportation early is crucial. Even if your exact itinerary to spots like the Clearwater Marine Aquarium isn't fully set, putting a reservation in place ensures your group won't be left scrambling for a last-minute solution during the heavy tourist surges.
