What are the rates to rent a Cat Tran charter?

The cost per bus, per day, is $270 for the first three hours and $90 each additional hour. A minimum of 3 hours is required with no daily maximum.

There is a $50 cancellation fee if cancelled less than 24 hours prior to the event and $270 if cancelled less than 2 hours prior to the event. For off-campus charter requests, time for billing starts when the bus leaves campus and ends when the bus returns to campus. For on-campus charter requests, billing starts when the bus arrives at the pick-up location and ends when passengers are returned to their final destination point.

Each bus can accommodate up to 24 seated passengers, or 23 seated and one wheelchair. The bus is not equipped to safely transport luggage and bicycles.

The above-mentioned cost includes the bus, driver, fuel, and insurance.

Is the customer guaranteed a reservation when making a request?

No. Since reservations are made based on availability, it is best to make a request at least ten (10) working days before the Cat Tran charter is needed. While we do our best to accommodate requests, our priority remains ensuring sufficient resources for our daily operations. Occasionally, requests may be denied due to operational needs.
