The cost of renting a shuttle bus in Fort Smith typically ranges from $1,495–$2,950+ per day, $195–$295+ per hour, or $5.50–$8.00+ per mile depending on the size of the vehicle, trip duration, mileage, and exact itinerary. Final pricing depends on your exact itinerary, availability, and vehicle selection.

Several factors influence the price of a shuttle bus rental in Fort Smith: trip distance and duration (local vs. long-distance), number of days/hours required, pickup and drop-off locations, time of year (peak seasons like spring/fall cost more), size and type of vehicle (18-, 20-, 25-, or 56-passenger), and any special amenities requested. Multi-day and out-of-town trips will increase the total cost.
