quote is to share your itinerary and passenger count, then we’ll price the best-fit bus for your group.
2) Is a charter bus priced by the hour or by mileage in Miami?
Most Miami trips are priced by hourly service (local shuttles and events) or
mileage / multi-day rates (long-distance or overnight trips). Your quote will be based on
what makes the most sense for your itinerary.

To quote accurately, we typically need:

windows, staging areas, and drop-off points to reduce congestion.
