*Rates shown are general estimates from one of the largest networks of independent bus companies serving Forney. Your exact price depends on your travel date, trip length, and the bus you pick—and you can see it in under 30 seconds on your online quote, with no account needed! Standard hourly minimums are typically 2 hours Monday through Wednesday (or earlier in the day), 3+ hours after 5 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and up to 5 hours on peak dates.
Book Ahead
Don't wait until the last minute to lock in your bus during busy seasons like spring prom nights, Friday night high school football at City Bank Stadium, or summer festival weekends at the Spellman Amphitheater! High demand across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex raises hourly minimums and rates, so booking early gets you the best deal.

Before You Book

Know Before You Pay
On the national booking platform, you'll put down a deposit online to lock in your bus for your date! Your remaining trip balance is simply due in full before your scheduled departure date.
What Affects Your Price
Coordinating group travel around Kaufman County is a breeze when you understand how operators calculate your rate! Because we connect you with a massive network of independent bus companies rather than a single fleet, multiple providers compete for your business. That means you get transparent pricing tailored to YOUR exact headcount and schedule. Take a look at the six main details that shape your quote!
For easy trips around town, a 15-passenger minibus or sprinter van with a driver costs less than a 56-passenger charter bus or a decked-out party bus! You can compare all our bus types in one quick search to fit your budget.

Because every itinerary is unique, outside travel fees along your route aren't bundled into your base quote! If your driver hops onto US-80 West toward Dallas, uses the President George Bush Turnpike for an airport transfer to DFW, or pays for oversized bus parking at Fair Park or AT&T Stadium, those tolls and parking passes are your group's responsibility. Planning for these small extras ahead of time keeps your budget right on track!
For overnight trips, you'll also need to provide a private 3-star or higher hotel room so your driver stays rested.
You don't have to pay peak Saturday night rates if your schedule has a little wiggle room! Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest times for bachelorette parties, concerts, and private events, which means higher hourly minimums and rates. If you book your trip on a Monday through Thursday instead, you'll often see lower typical hours and better daily pricing. Shift your outing to a weekday and watch your per-person cost drop!
Ways to Save
Ride on a weekday. Weekday hourly rates in the table start below weekend rates for most buses, and Sunday through Thursday typically run the lowest rates.
Fill the seats you pay for. A bigger bus costs more per hour but less per person: a full 56-passenger charter bus starts under $4 per person, per hour.
Book early. Booking early gives you the widest choice of buses for your date.
Keep your pickups together. Every extra pickup adds time on the clock, so one meeting spot keeps the hours, and the price, down.
