A charter bus rental in Scottsdale is a chauffeured coach or minibus booked by the hour, not by the mile or the seat. Published coach rates are $185–$325/hr on a 4-hour minimum (5 on the 56-Passenger Motorcoach), so a charter starts at $740 before tax in the Mini Bus (24 Pax) and $1,625 in the 56-Passenger Motorcoach. Arizona sales tax of 8% is added at checkout and a 50% deposit holds the date.
Four units carry a charter-sized group: the Mini Bus (24 Pax), the Executive Mini Bus — Grech (27 Pax), the Executive Mini Coach (29 Pax) and the 56-Passenger Motorcoach. Below them the executive Sprinters — the Maybach Shuttle Sprinter, the Maybach Jet Sprinter, the Executive Black Sprinter and the Executive White Sprinter — are the small-group tail for a team, a family or a board that does not need a coach. The Mini Bus (24 Pax) is the entry coach at $185 per hour and seats 24; the number inside its internal identifier is a retained legacy reference, not a capacity. The Executive Mini Bus — Grech (27 Pax) seats 27 and the Executive Mini Coach (29 Pax) seats 29, both at $225 per hour; the 56-Passenger Motorcoach seats 56 at $325 per hour. All four are proper-seat vehicles: forward-facing coach seating, an aisle and a professional chauffeur. Seated capacity is a planning limit, so confirm luggage and accessibility with the reservations team.
The current published hourly rates for the coaches are $185–$325/hr, each on its own minimum, so the starting total before tax is the rate times that minimum: $740 for the Mini Bus (24 Pax), $900 for the Executive Mini Bus — Grech (27 Pax) and the Executive Mini Coach (29 Pax), and $1,625 for the 56-Passenger Motorcoach on its 5-hour minimum. That arithmetic is the entire pricing model: published hourly rate times billable hours, never below the vehicle minimum, plus Arizona sales tax of 8% at checkout. You reserve the whole vehicle rather than a seat, so the total does not move with the headcount — 20 riders and 24 riders pay the same for the same Mini Bus (24 Pax). Split across every seat at the minimum, that starting total is about $31 a head on the Mini Bus (24 Pax) and $29 on the 56-Passenger Motorcoach at full capacity. Per-person figures are an even split of the pre-tax fare, shown for planning only. The table below prices a longer 5-hour day, and the executive Sprinters open at $145 per hour on the same 4-hour minimum. Availability varies by date, so check availability and request a current quote for your date, vehicle and trip details before reserving.
Match the headcount to the smallest vehicle that clears it. Up to 24 riders take the Mini Bus (24 Pax); up to 27 takes the Executive Mini Bus — Grech (27 Pax); up to 29 takes the Executive Mini Coach (29 Pax); anything up to 56 takes the 56-Passenger Motorcoach. Under 20 riders the executive Sprinters are the better vehicle and the cheaper hour: the Executive Black Sprinter and the Executive White Sprinter seat 14 at $145 per hour, which is $580 at the 4-hour minimum. The Maybach Shuttle Sprinter seats 8 and the Maybach Jet Sprinter seats 9 for a VIP movement rather than a shuttle. Above 56 riders the answer is more than one vehicle, not a bigger one: two coaches quoted separately, the totals added, one reservations contact for the movement.
The recurring jobs are corporate shuttles and conference or convention movements, wedding guest shuttles, golf outings, whole-group airport arrivals and departures, stadium and concert nights, and full-day tours to Sedona or the Grand Canyon. Each has its own service or tour page and its own booking path, linked at the foot of this guide. Corporate and convention work is the most common reason a Valley group charters a coach: a hotel-to-venue loop on a repeating schedule, or one movement from a resort to a conference centre and back. The executive minibus group shuttle page prices the Mini Bus (24 Pax) and the Executive Mini Coach (29 Pax) for that job. Wedding guest shuttles, golf outings, game nights and day tours behave the same way — the vehicle stays with the group, so the hours are the product. Airport groups are the exception: a one-way arrival or departure is often better priced as a flat transfer.
Included: a professional chauffeur, the reserved vehicle for the booked hours, fuel and tolls, the stops on your itinerary, and bottled water on board. Added at checkout: Arizona sales tax of 8%, the 50% deposit and optional gratuity. There is no booking fee, no service charge and no fuel surcharge on the base fare. The stops inside your booked hours are included, and time beyond them is billed at the same published hourly rate rather than a penalty rate. The only other charges are house-rule fees: $1,500 for smoking or vaping on board and $450 to deep-clean an excessive spill or biohazard. Minor spills are not charged.
No, you cannot drive it yourself. Every vehicle on this page is chauffeured and there is no self-drive or unchauffeured rental in the catalog — the chauffeur is part of the vehicle you reserve, not an extra you can decline. Also outside the rate: parking or venue access charges a property bills directly, event permits and meals. Where a venue controls the loading zone, the booking-specific instruction for that event governs, confirmed in writing rather than inferred from a map.
Yes. Charters run across Scottsdale, Phoenix and the wider Valley — Paradise Valley, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale and Cave Creek — plus long-distance work to Sedona, Prescott, Flagstaff, Tucson and the Grand Canyon. The service area pages list the coverage city by city. Phoenix Sky Harbor is the usual airport end of a charter; Scottsdale Airport handles private-aviation arrivals. Distance is not billed separately on an hourly charter, so give every address when you book and the driving time between them sits inside the hours you reserved.
Four steps: pick the vehicle and the hours, request a quote with your date and itinerary, confirm with a 50% deposit, and the balance is charged to the card on file 48 hours before pickup. The pricing page carries the current published hourly rates and the availability check; you can also call or text (623) 986-6339 or email reservations@scottsdalesprinters.com. A quote needs the date, the pickup and final drop addresses, every stop between them, the real headcount and the vehicle. For a one-way airport move, say so: a transfer is a flat published price rather than an hourly block, running $450 for the Mini Bus (24 Pax) to $1,250 for the 56-Passenger Motorcoach. Availability is point-in-time until the deposit creates the hold, so check availability and request a current quote rather than working from a figure on a page.
Arizona sales tax of 8% is added at checkout. A 50% deposit confirms the vehicle and the balance is charged 48 hours before pickup. Cancellation runs in tiers — standard, large group, and a major-event date with its 60-day window — quoted here in full. Cancel 14 or more days before pickup and you get a full refund. Between 72 hours and 14 days we keep the 50% deposit and refund the rest; inside 72 hours the reservation is non-refundable. Large groups, party buses and weddings (20+ passengers or two or more vehicles) get a full refund 30 or more days out and keep-the-deposit terms down to 14 days. Major-event dates — Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale, WM Phoenix Open, Cactus League spring training weekend, New Year's Eve, Prom weekend — are the dates we turn other people away for, so the deposit there is non-refundable and the window is 60 days: cancel 60 or more days ahead and the balance is refunded; inside 60 days nothing is refunded. If we ever cancel on our side, you get 100% back. A charter of 20 or more passengers, or 2 or more vehicles, is classified as a large group by the code that issues the refund, so read that tier.
