Several variables affect the cost of renting a charter bus in Port Arthur: the type and size of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), number of passengers, total mileage, duration of the trip (hours or days), and time of year. Peak demand during local events like Mardi Gras Southeast Texas, Nederland Heritage Festival, or major industry conferences can drive up prices. Additional expenses may include tolls on SH 73 or SH 87, parking fees at venues like the Montagne Center or Lamar State College, and lodging for the driver on multi-day trips. Everything is calculated based on supply and demand—if there are fewer buses available, prices go up. That’s why it’s so important to book early.
