Several key factors influence the final price of your Santa Clara bus rental: the number of passengers, type of vehicle selected, total mileage and duration of the trip, number of days the vehicle is needed, and the time of year you’re traveling. Additional expenses like tolls, parking fees, and lodging for the driver (if required) are not included in the base quote and must be factored into your overall budget. Because Silicon Valley often experiences high demand due to tech events and commuter traffic, availability can also impact pricing.
