By class, a sprinter van runs about $130 to $195 per hour or $1,200 to $1,800 a day, a minibus about $150 to $215 per hour or $1,500 to $2,150 a day, and a motorcoach about $190 to $275 per hour or $1,900 to $2,750 a day.
Short trips bill against the minimums. Full days and trips to San Jose, SFO or Paso Robles are usually flat daily rates.
Quotes are all-in with driver, fuel, standard mileage and tolls. Per-mile charges apply only beyond the included distance, and there is no separate gratuity line.
Event weeks drive price. Car Week in August and the Pro-Am in February push rates to the top of the band, and vehicles come from the Bay Area.
