Several factors can influence the price of your bus rental, including the size and type of vehicle you choose, the distance and duration of your trip, the dates and times of travel, and the pickup and drop-off locations. For example, renting a bus during peak season (spring and summer) or around major events like the Pharr Hub Phestival or McAllen Holiday Parade may cost more due to higher demand. Longer trips that require overnight stays will also be more expensive than local shuttles within the Rio Grande Valley. Additionally, requesting extra amenities or making last-minute changes to your itinerary can increase the overall cost.
