We recommend booking your charter bus at least 6–9 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing—especially if you’re traveling during peak seasons like spring (April–June) and fall (September–November). Large events such as weddings, school trips, and corporate outings tend to fill up quickly, so securing your reservation early gives you access to the widest selection of vehicles and helps lock in lower rates. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited availability and higher prices.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should be rated at least three stars and must have available parking for the bus. If you do not arrange lodging for the driver, you will be billed for the cost of their room. For longer trips requiring multiple drivers, each driver will need separate accommodations.

No, your charter bus quote does not include tolls, parking fees, or any special permits required for your trip. These additional expenses are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid separately. It is important to budget for these extra costs when planning your trip. Your reservation specialist can help estimate potential tolls and parking fees based on your itinerary, but they are not included in the base price of the rental.

In Hollister, you can park a charter bus in several convenient locations depending on your destination and itinerary. For downtown events or group dining, use the public lot behind City Hall (375 Fifth St.) or the large lot at Fourth and San Benito Streets—both offer easy access to local businesses and restaurants. Visiting a school or athletic facility? Many campuses have designated bus zones; check with your destination for specific instructions. Heading to a winery or special event? Venues like Leal Vineyards and Eden Rift Estate Wines have experience hosting groups and can direct you to on-site bus parking. For longer layovers or staging, use the Veterans Memorial Building lot (649 San Benito St.) or the Hollister Municipal Airport lot, which both accommodate oversized vehicles. Always confirm parking arrangements in advance to avoid fines or towing. If you’re unsure where to park, our team can help you find a legal, convenient spot anywhere in town.

Hollister’s public transit options are limited compared to larger cities, making private charter buses a more reliable and flexible choice for group travel. San Benito County Express operates fixed-route buses within Hollister and to nearby cities like San Juan Bautista and Gilroy, but schedules can be infrequent and routes may not serve all destinations. There’s no direct rail service, and regional connections require transfers to Caltrain or VTA in Gilroy. Taxis and rideshare services are available but can be expensive and impractical for large groups. A private charter bus offers door-to-door service, custom scheduling, and amenities like Wi-Fi and reclining seats—perfect for school trips, corporate events, winery tours, or airport transfers. You set the itinerary, and your group stays together from start to finish.
