Several factors influence the cost of your charter bus rental in Ocala:

• Time of Year: Prices are highest during peak travel seasons, including spring (March–May) due to horse shows like HITS Ocala Winter Circuit and local school events, as well as fall weekends with UF Gators football games in nearby Gainesville.
• Trip Duration and Mileage: Longer trips with more miles and days will cost more. Local Ocala trips are usually billed hourly or daily, while out-of-town trips (e.g., to Orlando, Tampa, Miami) are billed by total mileage.
• Number of Buses and Passenger Count: Larger groups requiring multiple buses will pay more overall, but filling each bus close to capacity reduces the per-person cost.
• Type of Bus: Full-size, 56-passenger motorcoaches are the most expensive; smaller minibuses, party buses, and school buses offer lower price points.
• Starting Location: If your trip starts outside of Ocala city limits, you may be charged extra for "deadhead" mileage to and from the garage.
• Additional Expenses: Tolls, parking fees at venues like World Equestrian Center, hotel rooms for drivers on overnight trips, and optional gratuity (standard is 10–20%) are not included in the base rental price.
