Athens charter bus rentals typically cost between $197–$519 per hour or $1,600–$3,800 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. Minibuses (18–25 passengers) are at the lower end of the range, while full-size 56-passenger coaches are at the higher end.

Several factors influence the cost of renting a charter bus in Athens, including the type and size of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), number of hours or days needed, total mileage, and the time of year. Peak demand periods—such as UGA football weekends, spring break, graduations, and major festivals like AthFest—can increase rates due to limited availability. Multi-day trips, out-of-town destinations, and last-minute bookings may also result in higher prices.
