What are the rates to rent a Cat Tran charter?

As of July 1, 2022, the cost per bus, per day is $270 for the first three hours and $90 each additional hour. There is no longer a daily maximum charge. This pricing is consistent throughout the year.

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.

Cat Trans can accommodate up to 24 seated passengers, or 24 seated and one wheelchair. The bus is not equipped to safely transport luggage along with passengers.

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 working days before the Cat Tran charter is needed. Requests for the use of a Cat Tran bus during normal business hours may be denied based on the lack of buses and/or drivers.
