Busrentalsouthjordan.com is an advertising and quote comparison website that lets you compare bus rental options and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving South Jordan through a national booking platform. Fill out one quick form or call 385-247-0400, and you go straight to a results page showing different vehicles and price points for your trip — no waiting on callbacks, no calling five companies one at a time. Busrentalsouthjordan.com is an advertising and referral website; it does not own or operate vehicles. The transportation on your trip is carried out by independently owned companies serving the South Jordan area.
No — Busrentalsouthjordan.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of bus companies serving South Jordan, and the transportation itself is carried out by independently owned companies in the area. Think of it as the fastest way to see what is available for your specific trip: one form, one call, and you are looking at many options instead of starting from scratch with each company individually.
When you search on your own, you call one company, get one price, and start over if it does not work. With Busrentalsouthjordan.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 385-247-0400 and immediately see vehicles and rates from a whole network of providers serving South Jordan — more options, different price points, and a side-by-side look at what is actually available for your date. That is time you spend comparing instead of chasing callbacks, and it means companies are competing for your booking rather than you accepting whatever one operator happens to have.
An independently owned transportation company serving South Jordan. Once you submit your trip details, you are taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that fits your group and your itinerary. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a price — the transportation company confirmed to carry out your trip is communicated to you after booking.
The platform works with different operators serving the area, so the right match for your trip is made from a real network rather than a single yard.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page with your trip details — or call 385-247-0400 and go through it with someone directly. Either way, you are taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independent operators serving the South Jordan area, and right there on their site you can browse available vehicles, see pricing for your specific trip, and book the one that works for your group.
What you are choosing is a vehicle and a price — the whole process takes minutes, and no account is required to get started.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are in your group, and roughly how many hours you need the bus. That is enough to get started. The more detail you add — your stops, your start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities that matter to you — the more accurately the quote comes back and the better your chances of finding a vehicle and a package that really fits the trip.
Put it all in upfront and you spend less time going back and forth.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form you go straight to the search results page on the national booking platform and see available vehicles and pricing for your trip. If you would rather talk through the details with someone first, call 385-247-0400 and a live agent can walk you through your options and help you put together the right package.
Earlier is always better on a popular date, and a specific vehicle or a larger group should go further out. That said, because Busrentalsouthjordan.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving South Jordan rather than one operator with one lot, short-notice trips are often still workable — that is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told they are booked. Submit the request or call 385-247-0400 even on short notice.
The results page will show what is available for your date, and you may find more options than you expected.
All of those can be requested. Hourly keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time and works well when the schedule is flexible or the itinerary has a lot of moving parts. A one-way transfer moves the group from one point to another.
A round trip brings everyone back to where they started. A multi-stop itinerary runs a planned route with several stops along the way — a brewery crawl up to Salt Lake City, a group outing to Thanksgiving Point, a shuttle loop between a hotel and a venue. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a ski weekend in Park City or a group run to Las Vegas.
Which format fits depends on the trip itself, and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full with your request so the quote comes back timed and priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Those are starting ranges — pricing is not one size fits all. The type and size of bus, the date, the distance, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all move the number, so the range is a planning reference rather than your price.
The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and see pricing on the results page in seconds. Or call 385-247-0400 — going through the itinerary with someone can surface packages and pricing you would not find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short outing of a couple of hours — a shuttle to a Real Salt Lake game at America First Field in Sandy or a transfer to Delta Center for a Jazz game — is typically priced hourly. A trip that covers real distance, roughly past the 100- to 200-mile mark, may carry a per-mile rate instead; a group run to Wendover or a charter down to St. George often falls here.
A long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a flat day rate rather than stacked hourly charges, because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Submitting the actual trip is what determines which structure applies — and the results page will show you the pricing for your itinerary specifically.
Six things move the price: the type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and the day of the week, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, and daytime prices lower than those same evenings. Booking the size that matches your actual headcount beats reserving more capacity than the group needs.
And grouping your riders into one or two pickup points — say, one hotel near South Jordan Parkway rather than five separate addresses — cuts the hours on the clock before the trip even starts. South Jordan's busiest windows, including ski season, Utes football Saturdays, and prom and graduation in the spring, push demand across the whole Salt Lake Valley at once, so those dates carry higher pricing. On any other date, the factors above are the levers you actually control.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule, going where the group needs to go rather than following a fixed public line. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a standard full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. The group has the whole bus to itself for the duration of the trip.
From the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, wide coach body — high windows running the full length of both sides, and a row of luggage bay doors along the lower skirt. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, though some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the vehicle that shows up will not always look the same. Inside, you will find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle.
Seat fabric is cloth or leather depending on the make and model — a Prevost H3-45 or a Van Hool CX45 tends toward a more finished interior than a workhorse MCI J4500, though all three are full-size coaches in the same class. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin, and a restroom sits toward the rear.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead and undercarriage storage, WiFi, power outlets, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may include any combination of these depending on the make, model, and operator — no two coaches are identically equipped, and what a specific vehicle carries is confirmed during booking. If there are amenities the group needs, note them with your trip details when you submit the request, since that narrows which vehicles come back on the results page.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common build on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60; the Van Hool CX45 is the same, 56 standard and up to 60; the Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44.
The count on any given coach can drop below its standard — extra legroom configurations and wheelchair-accessible positions each take seats out of the total. Because Busrentalsouthjordan.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any trip depends on what is available for your date. Submit the trip or call 385-247-0400 if your group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — forward facing, paired, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair-accessible position, since those configurations take space out of the standard layout. Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for a better sightline down the aisle.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide — roughly three cars parked end to end, which is the comparison most people find useful when they are working out whether one fits a particular loading area or parking spot. Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and are worth considering when the destination has tighter access. The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle and the one most commonly available through the network.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design clearances for 12 feet. A useful comparison: that is a little taller than the first story of a house. Most people ask because they are checking clearance at a parking structure or a venue entrance — if a specific location has a posted height limit, 12 feet is the number to measure against before the bus arrives.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. One point worth knowing before the trip: onboard WiFi is a piece of equipment a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies. And the honest expectation on performance — onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach.
Phones, messaging, and browsing work well. Fifty or sixty people doing heavy data work at the same time is a different story. If WiFi matters to your group, note it with your trip details when you submit the request, and that narrows the vehicles that come back to ones equipped for it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach and is there so the group does not have to make an unplanned stop. On a longer run — a trip down to Las Vegas or out to Moab — the itinerary is usually still planned with real rest stops along the way, and the onboard restroom handles what comes up between them.
If having one matters for your trip, note it with your details when you request the quote.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. Practically, it means a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — a ski charter up to Park City, a corporate trip to a conference at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City — without everyone rationing battery life.
If outlets matter to the group, note it with your trip details and the results page will reflect vehicles that carry them.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the interior cabin, and undercarriage baggage bays run along the bottom of the coach on both sides. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks.
Across a full 56-passenger load, that works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — in practice, about one checked-size bag each below the coach plus one small carry-on above. A few things change that math: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear — skis and snowboards for a Park City trip, instruments for a performance group, sports equipment for a team — takes the space of several standard bags. State your luggage situation and any oversized items with the trip details when you submit the request, so the right coach gets matched to the group rather than finding out at the curb that the bays are short.
Charter Bus Service in South Jordan, Utah
Any group that needs to move together — and that covers a wide range. Airport transfers to and from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) are one of the most common requests, whether it is a group arriving for a conference or a family heading out on a trip. Corporate travel and employee shuttles cover everything from daily commuter routes to one-time conference transportation at the Salt Palace Convention Center.
Weddings and private events use shuttle buses to move guests between hotel blocks and venues across the valley. Concerts and sporting events — Jazz games at Delta Center, Real Salt Lake at America First Field, Utes football at Rice-Eccles Stadium — are a natural fit for group transportation. School field trips and team travel, church group outings, government and military moves, brewery and distillery tours up to Salt Lake City, prom, and long-distance travel to Las Vegas, Moab, or Park City are all trips the network handles regularly.
If your group needs to be somewhere together, fill out the form or call 385-247-0400.
The network serves South Jordan and the surrounding Salt Lake Valley — including West Jordan, Riverton, Herriman, Draper, Sandy, Midvale, Murray, Salt Lake City, Taylorsville, and communities throughout Salt Lake County. Those are examples, not the full picture — the network also covers destinations further out, including Utah County cities like Lehi, Orem, and Provo. Enter the full route in the quote form or call 385-247-0400 to check a city that is not listed here.
A handful of dates pull the whole Salt Lake Valley market at once. Ski season — November through April — is the single longest stretch of high demand, with groups heading to Park City, Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, and Solitude every weekend. Prom and graduation season in April, May, and June books out fast across every Jordan School District high school, including Bingham High School, one of the largest in Utah.
University of Utah Utes football home Saturdays in the fall, Real Salt Lake home matches at America First Field from spring through fall, and Utah Jazz and Utah Hockey Club home games at Delta Center from October through April all create recurring demand. Pioneer Day on July 24 — a Utah state holiday and one of the biggest celebrations of the year — and the Utah State Fair in September fill the calendar further. On those dates, book as far ahead as possible.
On any other date, it is still worth submitting the request even on short notice, because the network covers more ground than a single operator can.
Planning Your South Jordan, Utah Charter Bus Trip
Yes — the primary airport serving South Jordan is Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) (3920 W Terminal Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84122), approximately 20–25 miles north via I-15 and I-215, roughly 25–40 minutes depending on traffic. SLC completed Phase 2 of its terminal redevelopment program in 2023, and charter buses meet arriving groups at the designated commercial vehicle loading zone on the arrivals level, following the airport's own ground transportation guidelines. Provo Airport (PVU) (1331 S Sky Way, Provo, UT 84601), approximately 45 miles south, serves limited commercial routes and is another option for groups flying Allegiant.
For any airport run, the bus meets the group outside the terminal at the spot that airport designates for buses and larger vehicles — your trip details get that coordinate right when you submit the request or call 385-247-0400.
Yes — the venues South Jordan groups travel to most are America First Field (9256 State St, Sandy, UT 84070), home of Real Salt Lake and Utah Royals FC, approximately 8–10 miles northeast; Delta Center (301 W South Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84101), home of the Utah Jazz and Utah Hockey Club, approximately 20 miles north; and Rice-Eccles Stadium (451 S 1400 E, Salt Lake City, UT 84112) on the University of Utah campus, home of Utes football, approximately 22 miles northeast. Buses drop along State Street near America First Field, along 300 West at Delta Center, and at designated perimeter zones at Rice-Eccles. Traffic patterns change significantly around all three venues on event days, so building extra time into the departure is always the right call — especially on Utes home Saturdays, when I-15 and I-215 slow well before kickoff.
Yes — the two largest are the Salt Palace Convention Center (100 SW Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84101), Utah's largest convention facility at over 515,000 square feet, approximately 20 miles north with designated bus loading on West Temple and 200 South; and the Mountain America Expo Center (9575 S State St, Sandy, UT 84070), approximately 8 miles northeast, which hosts major consumer shows, trade shows, and large events with bus drop zones along State Street. Thanksgiving Point (3003 N Thanksgiving Way, Lehi, UT 84043), approximately 15 miles south, hosts corporate events, large gatherings, and seasonal festivals with designated drop zones near each venue entrance. For a repeat shuttle between a hotel and any of these venues — a multi-run conference shuttle or a trade show loop — lay out the full schedule with your request so the quote comes back timed and priced for the whole day.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. South Jordan and the surrounding valley have a strong selection of ceremony and reception venues, including Thanksgiving Point Ashton Gardens, one of Utah's most popular outdoor wedding settings approximately 15 miles south; The Waterfall Venue (2 E 2100 S, Bluffdale, UT 84065), approximately 8 miles south with a waterfall backdrop; The Falls Event Center (3255 Constitution Blvd, West Jordan, UT 84088), approximately 5 miles north; and upscale Salt Lake City hotel venues like The Grand America Hotel (555 S Main St, Salt Lake City, UT 84111) approximately 20 miles north. The most common wedding setup is shuttling guests between a hotel block and the venue — and giving the exact venue address with your request gets the right vehicle matched to the route from the start.
Yes — South Jordan is part of the Jordan School District, and the network serves all district schools, including Bingham High School (2160 W 10400 S, South Jordan, UT 84095), one of the largest high schools in Utah, as well as nearby Riverton High School, Herriman High School, and Mountain Ridge High School. For higher education, the network covers University of Utah (201 Presidents Cir, Salt Lake City, UT 84112), Utah Valley University (800 W University Pkwy, Orem, UT 84058), Brigham Young University (Provo, UT 84602), and Salt Lake Community College (4600 S Redwood Rd, Taylorsville, UT 84123). Field trips and team travel are typically pickups at the school or campus itself, and campuses have designated bus loading zones — include the exact headcount and any accessibility or chaperone needs with the request so the right vehicle comes back.
Yes — Utah's craft brewery scene is concentrated in Salt Lake City, roughly 18–22 miles north of South Jordan, and a brewery loop from South Jordan is one of the most popular group itineraries in the valley. Real stops include Uinta Brewing Company (1722 S Fremont Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84104), Epic Brewing Company (825 S State St, Salt Lake City, UT 84111), Fisher Brewing Company (320 W 800 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84101), Bohemian Brewery (94 E 7200 S, Midvale, UT 84047) approximately 10 miles north, and High West Distillery (703 Park Ave, Park City, UT 84060) approximately 35 miles northeast for groups willing to make the drive. Utah has no legal casino gambling, so casino trips head to Wendover, Nevada — approximately 120 miles west via I-80, roughly 1.5–2 hours — where Montego Bay, Rainbow, and Peppermill casinos are all within walking distance of each other, or to Mesquite, Nevada approximately 175 miles southwest, roughly 2.5 hours.
A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group stays at each stop — list the stops and the time at each one with your request and the hours come back right.
Yes — long-distance trips are a regular part of what the network handles from South Jordan. Las Vegas, NV is approximately 420 miles south via I-15, roughly 5.5–6.5 hours, and is by far the most popular group destination from the Salt Lake Valley. Park City, UT is approximately 30 miles northeast, roughly 35–45 minutes, and draws ski groups from November through April.
Moab, UT is approximately 235 miles southeast, roughly 3.5–4 hours, for groups heading to Arches and Canyonlands. St. George, UT is approximately 300 miles south via I-15, roughly 4–4.5 hours, with Zion National Park nearby. Jackson Hole, WY is approximately 280 miles north, roughly 4–4.5 hours, for ski and outdoor groups.
A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day package rather than by the hour, and an overnight trip needs the full itinerary — stops, timing, and overnight location — laid out with the request so the quote comes back priced for the whole trip. Call 385-247-0400 or submit the full route online to get started.
