Local trips within Milwaukee County—such as shuttles between Wauwatosa hotels, the Milwaukee County Zoo, Mayfair Mall, or downtown venues like the BMO Tower and Fiserv Forum—can often be billed by the hour if they fit within a single day. Longer trips (over 150 miles) to cities like Chicago, Madison, Green Bay, or Minneapolis are usually charged by the mile or as a flat daily rate. Once you provide your itinerary, we’ll calculate the total cost upfront so you know exactly what to expect before you sign.

Several key factors influence the final price of your charter bus rental in Wauwatosa:

• Travel Dates: Demand is highest during peak seasons such as spring (April–June) for school field trips, graduations at UW-Milwaukee and Marquette University, and weddings at venues like The Atrium or The Gage; fall weekends for Packers game-day transportation to Lambeau Field; and major event weekends like Summerfest, the Milwaukee Marathon, and the Wisconsin State Fair. Booking during these times may result in higher rates due to limited availability.
• Passenger Count: Larger buses seat up to 56 passengers and cost more than smaller minibuses that hold 18–35 people, but the per-person cost often decreases with a bigger vehicle.
• Trip Duration ∓ Distance: Multi-day and long-distance trips (over 150 miles) incur higher charges due to additional mileage, driver hours, and potential overnight expenses. For example, a weekend trip to Chicago or Minneapolis will cost more than a local shuttle within Milwaukee County.
• Itinerary Details: Extra stops, layovers, or complex routing—such as multiple hotel pickups in Downtown Milwaukee, airport transfers to General Mitchell International Airport (MKE), or venue shuttles to Fiserv Forum and American Family Field—add time and mileage to your trip, increasing the overall cost.
• Vehicle Type: Full-size charter buses (up to 56 seats) have higher base rates than minibuses (18–35 seats), but offer more amenities and storage space. Choosing a compact minibus can save money if you have a smaller group.
• Special Features: Premium amenities like onboard restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats may increase the rental price but enhance comfort for longer trips.
• Additional Expenses: Tolls (e.g., Chicago Skyway, Illinois Tollway), parking fees at venues like Fiserv Forum and American Family Field, and driver hotel accommodations for overnight trips are not included in the base quote and must be paid separately.
